Chapter 28:

"There it is," Robin said, pointing off the bow of the ship at the strip of land on the horizon. Once she pointed them in the right direction, Franky used a Coup de Burst and got them out of the battlefield. It hadn't been thirty minutes, but they were almost at their destination.

"Hey, where am I?" a man asked as he stood up from where he was previously laying unconscious.

"Get off my ship," Luffy growled and the man turned his head to see the skinny teenager with messy hair giving him the most terrifying look he'd ever seen. The man made a quick prayer to the Drowned God that he now fully believed in, then dove off the side of the ship making a splash down below.

"Is Nami awake yet?" Luffy asked loudly as he continued staring off the front of the ship at land approaching.

Jon and Gendry were sitting up with their backs against the railing to the front deck. They were on opposite sides of the hole Luffy created in the deck and were panting heavily, but trying to keep themselves awake after hearing what had happened to the ship's doctor. Both men were amazed at how far this crew was willing to go for one member, as they were rushing straight towards Pyke to go and get their friend back, even while all of them were suffering from injuries, some more severe than others.

Usopp was leaning over Nami and he was trying to keep himself awake too. "Not yet," he called back and then rested his hand back on her right cheek. The sniper was back on the grass deck next to Nami and an unconscious Bran. He was looking down at the woman's eyes and Arya was next to him holding her brother's right hand between her own.

The fifteen year old girl looked over at the sniper who flashed a small smile at her and then looked back down as he heard movement below him. His eyes widened and he smiled huge as Nami's light brown eyes looked up into his small black ones.

The orange haired woman looked up and the first sight she saw couldn't have been a better one. "Usopp," she whispered and the man above her couldn't help himself. He bent down and pressed his lips against hers, holding himself there for a few seconds before pulling away and continuing to smile at her. "What was that for?" Nami asked with a small grin as she slowly sat up.

"Well," he started and scratched the back of his head, his hands going through his still wet curly black hair. "We're alive," he said and brought the sitting up woman into a tight hug. "We're alive," he whispered again into her ear.

"Yeah, I guess that's a good reason," she whispered back and wrapped her arms around him too. She closed her eyes and smiled as she felt his warmth on her. When she opened her eyes, she froze as she was staring straight into Arya's surprised face. The younger girl looked back and forth from Nami's face to the back of Usopp's head.

"Uh, haha," Nami laughed sheepishly and pulled away from the hug Usopp was giving her. She stood up fast and turned away so the small girl wouldn't see the huge blush on her face. "We're moving?" the woman questioned, wondering why they didn't wait for her to wake up before setting sail again.

"They got Chopper," Arya said as she looked back down at Bran. Her brother didn't look very good and Nami fell back to her knees over the boy, resting her hand on his forehead. She looked at his right leg and although it wasn't bleeding, the burned area that melted his wound shut scared her.

The woman jumped back up to her feet and ran around up to the stairs leading to the front deck. On her way, some guy she didn't know was standing up on the stairs and she kicked him in the nuts before pushing him with both arms and knocking him off the side.

"These guys are getting annoying," Sanji said as he was getting tired of just staring off the front of the ship. The blonde man had just kicked a man off of the ship who was running at his back with a sword raised. "I'll take care of it," he turned around and a huge smile spread across his face, "Nami-san!" he yelled and spun around as she ran past him.

"Ah Nami, you're awake," Luffy said as he kept pacing around the front of the ship. Sanji was in a great mood now and he started running around the ship and gathering up any Ironborn men who were unconscious and tossing them off the ship before the effects of whatever Luffy did wore off for the rest of them. "We're getting back Chopper, and Zoro too if he's there."

"Zoro got taken too?!" Nami asked in shock.

"No," Robin assured her as she handed off the compass to the real navigator of their crew. "I'm guessing he just got turned around."

Nami sweatdropped, "You mean he got lost?" She asked and Robin nodded with a little giggle. The orange haired teenager shook her head and then looked off the front of the ship. "That's Pyke?" She asked.

"Yep," Franky said from her right side. The woman turned and stared at the large man's back as he slowly turned to face her. Nami put both hands in front of her mouth and her face turned blue as she saw Franky's face. Having the arrow sticking out of his head was too dangerous and he couldn't wait for Chopper, so the man pulled it out himself, along with something else that was stuck on the arrowhead. "Oi, it's not that bad," he told her like he'd been telling everyone else.

Nami stared at the left side of the cyborg's face that was covered in blood. "Y-Y-Your eye-" she started and saw that Franky's eyelid wasn't shut, there just wasn't anything inside the eye socket anymore. That almost made her puke on the spot, but she managed to turn around in time and calm herself down.

"I'll make myself a better one," the cyborg said, already coming up with invention ideas in his mind. "This one will have thermal vision," he said and nodded his head stoically, like it was stupid that his last one didn't have it. "Oh!"

Luffy turned to him and asked excitedly, "Another idea?!"

"Zoom!" Franky exclaimed and started explaining how he'd add a function that lets him zoom in on his enemies.

Usopp was climbing up to the front of the ship and he started boasting about how his eyesight would still be a hundred times better than his even with Zoom. The two of them started arguing and Jon stood up, "Is this really the time?" The man asked and gave them harsh looks.

"Uhh," Nami started while everyone was looking back at Jon. She was still looking off the front of the ship and she saw something that made her squint in to see if she saw it correctly.

"I mean, one of your crew members was just taken." Jon shook his head and held up his arms, thinking he might be coming off too strong. "I know you're going to save him, but shouldn't you all be more concerned?!"

Luffy scratched his chin and was confused at what the man was talking about. "We are worried about Chopper. And why did you say your crew members? You're our nakama too, which makes Chopper our nakama." The captain started laughing at the flustered look on Jon's face and the curly haired man accepted defeat on that one.

"Hey guys," Nami whispered, still in disbelief as she looked off the front of the ship. "Guys," she said a little louder and they all started turning back to the front of the ship where they were approaching the island ahead fast.

There was a dock sticking out closest to them and the island was close enough now that they could make out some details of the dock. They could also see large buildings all over the island and huge castles on other parts of it. Every single one of their mouths dropped and Luffy started cracking up, falling back on the floor and rolling around before passing out. He was keeping himself awake through sheer willpower and need to save his nakama, but it seemed he was worried over nothing.

Forty minutes earlier.

"This is a weird island," Zoro said as he swam right up to the shallow area and walked up on shore. There were a people on shore: children, women, they were running down to look at this strange man who just came out of the water.

A few men were walking over too, either old men or fishermen. The pirate with green hair walked up to the grass and through the gathering of people who parted for him. "Who are you?" an old man who long retired from the navy asked.

The strange figure didn't answer, as he'd seen something over on his left that made him freeze in his spot. "This island," he muttered and grabbed the white hilt on his waist with one hand. He was staring straight at a lone ship docked on a wooden dock near him. It didn't look like it was ready for use, which was probably why the people left it behind when they went to ambush the Straw Hats. He stared at the yellow squid on the black background of the sail that he recognized from all the ships they just fought, and he slowly slid his first sword out of its sheath. Zoro turned to the old man who confronted him and the elderly guy took a step back.

The old man repeated himself, "Who are you?! What are you doing here?!"

"I'm your enemy," Zoro said and drew a second sword from its sheath, sticking it in his mouth and then dragging out the final sword with the red hilt. He held Akai Yoru in his left hand and continued to speak even with Kitetsu in his mouth. "As to why I'm here," his right eye turned red and he held up his swords in a deadly terrifying stance. "I'm here to get revenge."

Present

"How does all that," Franky started as he stared through his right eye at the island. "Happen in half an hour?" he finished and stared up at the four castles that looked like they used to be connected by large bridges. The stone buildings were on top of large rock cliffs that stretched high over the surface of the water. The final cliff that just had a single tower on it was shaking and while they approached, it cracked down the middle and crumbled down to the sea below.

Leading up to the wrecked castles was a trail of carnage up the entire island of Pyke. "He really outdid himself that shitty swordsman," Sanji said, though the blonde haired man was smiling as he looked at the wooden dock they were sailing towards.

Twenty five minutes ago.

"I demand to know what's going on!" Balon Greyjoy shouted as messengers were flooding into his room without even knocking.

"People are fleeing to the castles!"

"They say there's a monster on the island."

"All the guards we sent out were utterly defeated!"

Another messenger sprinted into the room and shouted, "He's in the cast-" the door flew off its hinges and slammed into the man throwing him across the room. The other messengers grabbed their swords and held them up in front of their king.

"Stop right there!" one of them yelled and looked out the doorway to an empty hallway except for the bodies off the king's guard who were stationed outside the door. Up until a minute ago, they were the strongest force left on this island.

Balon Greyjoy was slowly taking steps back and he tripped over the door that flew past him a few seconds ago. He fell and put his hands below him to catch himself. He blinked. The second he blinked, his men all screamed and his eyes opened to see splashes of blood leaving the rest of his men's chests.

"Ahhh!" the old man yelled and pushed himself back up to his feet. He backpeddaled until he hit the wall and then flattened his back up against it as he stared at the center of the room where a man with green hair was holding three blades dripping with blood. "You're one of them, one of those magic fruit eaters!" Balon Greyjoy yelled.

"No," Zoro said and continued to glare at the man who didn't look much like a king, he looked more or less like the rest of the dirty men he just took down. The swordsman cracked his neck to either side and glared into his enemy's soul, his black pupils dilating as his enemy started to sweat and slide down the wall to his knees. "I'm just strong," he said and then rushed at his foe, slicing the man who ordered their ship attacked across his chest deeply with all three swords.

Balon reached forward as he felt the life draining out of him. He put his hand on Zoro's chest and clenched at the torn up and wet green shirt the man was wearing. His sleeves were torn off at the shoulders and he slid his swords back into his sheaths, taking Wado out of his mouth last. As he slid his final sword into its sheath, the Greyjoy's king's hand slid off his chest, falling slowly. It hit the floor as the sword clicked back fully in the sheath.

"I didn't have a lot of time," the swordsman said and turned around. "I have to get back to my crew, but," he walked out the door and added with a snarl, "I just had to prove a point. Don't touch my crew."

Fifteen minutes before Straw Hats arrived at Pyke.

"Rektor, there's something wrong," a man ran up to his captain and called out.

The captain of the ship walked over and glared at his subordinate, daring the man to question his orders. His crew had been furious that they were leaving the battle early, but they were under direct orders from the king himself. If they were to capture any of the strange magic users, they were to bring them back to him immediately. "What?!" Rektor barked.

The Ironborn pirate pointed over the side of the ship and Captain Rektor walked over and pushed his men out of the way so he could look at what all the fuss was about. They were a few minutes away from the island, but he could now see the crumbled houses and craters all over the shore they were approaching. "What the Hell is going on here?!" he shouted and told his men to hurry up.

The sail was already getting them moving pretty fast, but now everyone grabbed the oars and started paddling as fast as they could. When they reached the dock, everyone grabbed their weapons and jumped off the ship onto the wooden platform sticking out over the water.

One of the men grabbed the bag with the tied up talking animal thing that they had to keep beating to keep it quiet. Chopper was inside covered in bruises and cuts that made him bleed very badly, but he didn't know what to do. He could try transforming again, but last time they stabbed him several times and he barely hit any of them he was already so tired. He doubted he could even transform anymore at the strength he was at right now. If only I could control Monster Point! But they already took my backpack from me anyway...

The man holding Chopper also had the pack in his hand, having seen the creature reach inside and eat one of the yellow balls that gave him extra powers. If he could have that type of strength, he'd be invincible!

"What happened?!" the captain shouted as his crew charged off the dock and onto shore. "Is anyone around?! Come out and tell us what's happening here!" It looked like the damage was still fresh as pieces of houses that were barely standing crumbled at the lightest breeze.

"We didn't leave four hours ago," the first mate, Tyson, growled and slammed his sword into the ground. "What the fuck is going on?!"

"It looks like you ran away," a voice said and all the men looked up the path to see a figure walking towards them. The man had a green shirt on with its sleeves ripped off, he had black pants and three sheaths on his waist. "I wonder how long until the rest of your fleet comes running back here after you."

"ZORO!" a voice shouted in a high pitched voice at the top of its lungs.

The green haired swordsman looked through the sixty or so men in front of him and snarled deeply at the sight of the wriggling figure inside a bag over an Ironborn's shoulder. "Chopper!" he called out.

"Hey, I told you to be quiet," the man holding Chopper with one hand pulled back the other to punch him. He swung, but for some reason his fist didn't hit the bag. He looked down at his arm, and then dropped the bag with his other as he saw the spot his hand used to be which was now air filled with spraying blood from his wrist.

The other men heard a scream and spun around from where the figure just disappeared. They stared in stunned silence at their comrade who fell to his knees screaming and holding his right forearm where blood was pouring out. The green haired man they saw before was holding the bag in his hand and he untied the knot keeping it closed, opening it up and pulling the little creature out from inside.

"Get it back!" Captain Rektor commanded. "We're close now. If we get this one back to the king..."

"Your king is dead," Zoro said and the group of men looked back at the castle up on the cliff that looked like it was on the verge of crumbling completely. "And now," he continued and put down the reindeer who had huge starry eyes, "so are you," he finished. The man raced forward and drew his other two swords as he did. He cut them all up while he weaved in and out between them all.

The first mate jumped up in front of the captain and slammed the sword down on the man who was about to reach Rektor. Tyson managed to stall Zoro for a second, but the green haired pirate only changed directions and appeared behind the captain of this ship a second later. "I just told your king," he said and swung his sword, slicing through Rektor's neck and the neck of the first mate on the other side of him closer to the dock, decapitating them both in the same swipe, "but I guess I'll repeat myself."

Chopper was still confused at what just happened since Zoro was standing at his side a second ago, and was now on the other side of the crowd. Then, man after man started collapsing with wounds sprouting all over their bodies. They screamed over and over until all their screams merged together, and then two heads rolled off the last two bodies and the reindeer was stuck looking over everyone's corpses and at Zoro on the other side. "No one lays a hand on my nakama."

"Zoro!" Chopper exclaimed with tears pouring out of his shining eyes. "You're too cool!" he yelled and jumped up landing on the swordsman's head and clinging onto him with a huge hug.

"Oi," the man said as he walked back down towards the water and then down the long wooden dock. "Get off me," he said and plucked the doctor off his head, placing him down next to him as he sat on the end of the dock and put his legs off the side. "I guess we'll wait here then. Luffy will be here soon."

"How do you know?" Chopper asked as the small figure sat down on Zoro's right and put his legs over the side of the dock too. He had bruises and injuries all over his body, but he didn't want to look weak in front of Zoro so he was sucking them up for now. The swordsman held out his right hand and Chopper smiled wide at the object in his grip, grabbing the blue backpack and thanking Zoro again happily.

"I just do," Zoro said with a glance at his wounded nakama. "So sit still, and have faith in our crew."

"Got it," Chopper said seriously, mimicking Zoro's expression and looking out over the water. He didn't last long and started smiling again, so happy that he had a friend like this to save him from scary situations. Nakama.

Present.

"Wow Zoro, I thought you just got lost," Usopp laughed as they reached the dock where two figures were sitting in wait for them and Zoro jumped up on their ship. "But it turns out you were the only one who knew where they took Chopper."

The swordsman nodded his head and tried to hide the fact that it was pure coincidence he showed up on this island, and that he actually did get lost as he was trying to find his way back to the battlefield. The man put down Chopper who he jumped up with, and the reindeer was about to go on about his horrifying adventure, but then he saw Franky.

"AHHHH!" Chopper screamed and ran over to Franky, ignoring his own fatigue for now. "What happened?!"

"An arrow," Franky explained. "I pulled it out," he continued and then added before Chopper could scold him, "Go look at Bran first, he needs more help than me."

As he said this, Arya shouted from the next deck down, "Chopper!"

The reindeer ran down to the grass area with everyone else and he pulled off the backpack he just got back from Zoro as soon as he saw Bran's injuries. "Go inside and get the rest of my medical supplies," he ordered and Nami went running off inside to go fetch them for him.

Jon was looking at his brother and cursed the fact that he could do nothing for him. Ghost, the thought went into his mind and he looked straight down, wondering if his wolf was still okay. He'd been so preoccupied with everything that he'd yet to check on his large white direwolf. He took one last look at his brother and knew Chopper would do his best to help him, then he turned around.

The man walked inside the ship and didn't notice the black haired woman following him with her gaze as he went inside. Robin silently followed him as he walked down the stairs and through the busted up aquarium. The floor was all wet and there were dead fish lying around along with broken glass sharks and turned over furniture.

Jon walked down to the next floor and then opened up a door to another room that he was barely able to squeeze his wolf into in the first place. He got inside and stared at the form lying on its left side, its chest moving up and down very slowly as the wolf breathed deeply and very loudly. It still had the broken off shafts of the arrows that hit it early on in the fight stuck inside its side facing the ceiling and Jon walked over to the creature.

He pet his wolf on his furry side, up towards Ghost's head and then back down his back. He brushed over the wooden shafts that he snapped off to make it so they didn't get lodged any deeper, but it didn't look like it was doing much good. "You're a good boy," he whispered and bent down so he was on one knee with his face right above his wolf's chin. He leaned over Ghost's face and looked down into its right eye as it lay on its side, its muzzle resting on the wood floor.

Ghost's mouth was open and his tongue was sticking out. The woman standing behind Jon snuck away for a moment and returned while the man was still petting his wolf. "Jon," she said softly and the curly haired man turned to her, sadness filling his dry eyes. "Water," she said and walked inside with the bowl in her hand.

"I'm fine," he said and the woman shook her head softly. She walked up to Ghost and put it in front of the direwolf's open mouth, The white wolf lifted its mouth a little and it lapped up the water with its tongue. Jon sighed, seeing what she was talking about now. "He's, not going to make it," the swordsman said quietly.

"He could," Robin whispered.

"I know," Jon replied and clenched his fists tight. If I asked Chopper for his help, he might be able to... The man thought about his pale white younger brother on the deck, missing a leg and a whole lot of blood. "But I won't take his time away from Bran." I'm sorry boy, he pet his wolf around the neck and scratched him a bunch making the direwolf start wagging his tail, just like he did back when he was still a puppy.

The man remembered back when he first saw the direwolf pups, and when his father ordered them killed. He convinced his father otherwise. He saved them all, handed them out to his brothers and sisters, got his own in the process. He trained him, fed him, fought with him, went beyond the Wall with him, protected the Wall with him, went through the hardest times with him, and the happiest.

Ghost's breathing slowed even further and now his chest was puffing out only once every five seconds or so. Jon continued to pet his direwolf, and as the wolf could sense how he was feeling, he could feel how content his furry friend was at the moment. Ghost was happy and felt good from all the pets he was receiving. "Rrrr," the wolf growled in a happy way that sounded so sad to the two humans in the room with it at the moment.

"I love you Ghost," Jon whispered as his direwolf's chest sank back down. He waited to watch it puff out again, but Ghost was just sitting there. There was a puddle of blood underneath the large white wolf whose fur was a little darker now than Jon had ever seen it before.

Ghost was lying on his side with his gashed stomach facing Jon. The right side of his face became still and the room turned silent without the wolf's heavy breathing anymore. I guess you were never meant to leave the North boy, the man thought as he stared at his best friend.

Robin was down on one knee next to the man kneeling in front of his wolf. She slid the bowl away from the wolf's mouth and then lifted her arms. Jon was staring straight at Ghost's right eye; it was closed making it look like he was just sleeping.

At the exact moment Ghost's heart stopped beating, upstairs on deck, Bran's eyes opened and he gasped out a breath. Chopper continued working hard, but everyone on the grass covered deck sighed a breath of relief to see the boy conscious and alright. "G-Ghost," Bran whispered and the direwolf at the side of the group was already walking towards the door to the cabin.

A few of the others heard what Bran said and then the boy tilted his head back and followed with his eyes as Summer disappeared into the cabin. "Ghost I'm so sorry," he whispered.

"Ghost?" Sanji questioned and looked around, not seeing the white wolf anywhere. He noticed that Jon wasn't there either and looked where the kid was looking. Bran was a warg, so if he thought something had happened, that meant something happened.

"Why are you sorry?" Luffy asked the kid and jumped up fast. He sprinted into the cabin and the others all looked down and away as they thought about the white wolf who fought with them in Winterfell. They thought about their other newest member, and how he must be feeling at this moment.

Zoro thought about his captain, and how Luffy was going to have another hard time of this. It's not always your fault, he thought, but the man was clenching his own fists at the moment for breaking the promise he told those Ironborn. Someone didn't just hurt his nakama, they killed one.

Luffy ran down the stairs and looked all over the ship. He got to a door that was open and ran inside, stopping short and opening his jaw as he stared at the sight in front of him.

Robin was kneeling next to Jon with one arm around his shoulder, pulling him in close to her. She had her other hand on the motionless direwolf's muzzle, petting him softly up and down. Jon had his arms at his side and stared silently at his companion for the last seven years of his life. When everyone else came and went, Ghost was there through it all. He went to the Wall and joined the Night's Watch with his friend and only his friend, and he left with the same friend, the most loyal friend he could ask for.

There was one other in the room. Summer was curled up next to Ghost and kept nudging his brother with his mouth, shaking him over and over again. The white wolf with a golden fur coating on its back finally stopped and rested his muzzle on top of Ghost's back, whimpering quietly and then tilting its head up in the air, howling at the top of its lungs.

Everyone on the top deck of the ship felt their hearts break as Summer howled for his brother. Luffy stared at the wolf and knew exactly how it was feeling, his own heart clenching up as he imagined Ace's face.

In Winterfell hundreds of miles away, Shaggydog suddenly stopped walking next to Rickon and looked up in the sky, howling loudly and surprising everyone around him. Rickon had only seen his black furred wolf do this a few times before, and he started petting his wolf sadly, thinking about his brothers and feeling bad for whichever one of them just lost their companion.

In a forest in Westeros, a huge direwolf with gray fur coating its back lifted up its head in the air. The female wolf roared at the top of her lungs and then snapped its head to the right, staring off through the woods with a purpose. She started jogging, then running, then full out sprinting through the forest.

Back on the Thousand Sunny, Sanji found his pipe and ignited it, walking away to calm his nerves away from the rest of the crew. Zoro climbed up into the training room on top of the mast and Chopper distracted himself by finishing up emergency treatment on Bran and getting to work on Franky. He was going to have to check the boy's blood type in a little bit and see if anyone else on the ship was compatible to share their blood with him.

Arya suddenly stopped looking at her brother and looked over her shoulder. Bran saw her sudden turn and tilted his head at her. It was weird, a second ago he felt something in that direction too, but he felt it with his warg powers. His sister seemed to have felt the same thing, only much stronger. That, or she just wasn't used to feeling something like that. What if it's not just me? The boy realized and thoughts started racing through his mind of the possibility of his siblings also being wargs.

The black haired girl stood up and took a step towards the edge of the ship, looking out over the open ocean and back towards Westeros. "I," she knew what she heard, what she felt when she looked back. It's been so long, but I, I remember her voice. "She's there," the girl whispered and Bran knew for sure now that she had really felt it and it wasn't just a coincidence.

Chopper looked back and forth between the two children who seemed to have noticed something he hadn't. Arya put her right hand in front of her chest and whispered, "Nymeria."

A/N GHOOOSSSTTT! Hey guys, been a while since I've posted a chapter... a long while actually. Sorry about leaving the story on such a cliffhanger before, but I got really interested in another story I was writing. I've got a few chapters of this written out though now so I'll try to bring up my update speed a little, but college is pretty tough. I'm editing this between classes right now and after I'm done I gotta rush to Econ, but I'll still make some time to write more chapters and continue this story! Sorry that I killed off Ghost, a hard decision to make, but one I think is necessary to propel the training of the Straw Hat crew. They won't be having a time skip, and have already past the point where it would have started, so they'll have to get stronger during their adventure in Westeros. I hope you enjoyed, and leave me a review telling me what you think below!

iitrnr

Great chapter... loved all the fights. Wonder where Zoro got off to.

Lost Zoro happened upon the Iron Islands, who'da thunk it? XD

NotSoSlimSh4dy

I'm crying for brook. That poor skeleton man lost at sea never to be found because luffy's never went to thriller bark.

Haha, who knows, maybe some other kind-hearted pirates happened upon him. The world will never know!

Tsukishiro Sayuki

* talks like the preview of the next chapter * A weird man with green hair arrives in Essos and meet Daenerys then beat her best swordmans wounding then and is forced to help her for food, a bad deal for her... * giggles *

jokes aside good chapter, oh nice haki *o*

mooore pleas

Great idea/concept, I laughed out loud when I read it. Sadly Essos is on the other side of Westeros, a very long swim. They will make it there someday though, and now that Game of Thrones is starting back up I can figure out what Dany, Jorah, Tyrion, and the rest are up to over in Essos. Sorry for the long update ;(

Guest

Let me guess zoro got lost but because of his godly luck he found chopper first and the rest of the crew just jaw drop while thinking "how the hell did he get here first?!"

SHOUT OUT TO THIS GUEST! Nice call whoever you are. When I read this comment I was like 'shit, hope no one reads the comments as much as I do.' Haha, hope you enjoyed the chapter!

GumGumOnigiri

You do realise Luffy has the strength to create shockwaves and smash through stone right? Same with Zoro. Which against normal people wouldn't so much hurt them as explode them/cut them in half, ie kill them, right!? Hell even a casual punch from Luffy should be enough to break a guys neck, and that's when he's not being serious.

Sure Oda doesn't get that gory in the manga... but this is Westeros! The laws of physics are the same there as in reality for the most part.

It's just annoying how you stick to manga physics when it comes to the limited damage the strawhats can deal out to their very fragile enemies.

I stick to One Piece universe physics. You say Oda isn't showing the gruesome details, but he's not just "not showing" them, he's showing us the opposite, where everyone they punch and beat up is alright. You can imagine that all those people are really dying but Oda just doesn't want to show it, but when he shows clips of all of them alive afterwards I can't imagine it. This is still the OP world, even if they are on Westeros. Luffy's punches don't kill everyone he attacks, Usopp's normal explosions send people flying backwards, and normal slices of Zoro's swords just leave wounds that could be healed, (though in this chapter he goes overboard lol). Anyway, Westeros physics are pretty legit, for everyone who isn't a Straw Hat. Their attacks won't just start killing people now after never doing it before, unless they choose to, which in this last battle many of them chose to do. Hope you're satisfied by this response, and let me know what you think of this and future chapters. Thanks for the review!

Arthura

Wow. Just want to say how much fun it has been reading your story. Can't say I've ever enjoyed a one piece xover as much as this one! The storyline is somewhat straightforward but still very enjoyable. I'm glad that although the crew is very powerful there is some checks and balances you've put out there with devil fruits appearing and simply the fact that even they can't massacre an army unscathed. Interested to see where you go next and if the white walkers are truly gone. Be fun to see them have a rematch, wiser and stronger against them without the trump card of their cannon. Since I imagine they would see it coming next time. But if they're actually dead fair enough, there's always a bunch of southern armies and a few stone men / dragons to provide challenges haha. Great story, thanks for the read!

I'm really glad you enjoyed the story so much. Devil Fruits are pretty rare, and yeah the Straw Hats are having their fair share of difficulties as they've fought three armies now: Undead, Boltons, and Ironborn. They are all growing and I hope you liked this newest installment. Thanks for the review!

You wrote a lot so I'll just respond without pasting your comment here. Yeah, Arya ate the Yami Yami no mi, but it's not a new set of Devil Fruits for Westeros, as Luffy's brother did die and he found out by seeing Ace's fruit. Blackbeard would have invaded Impel Down, and without Luffy already in there, there would have been no need to let Shiliew out of his cage, so he wouldn't have given Magellan the antidote for the deadly poison that would have killed Blackbeard. It's a long set of coincidences, but I always thought that without Luffy being there, Blackbeard would have died, so... Yami Yami is available. Or, was, available. XD. I liked your other ideas too, though since Crocodile's still alive he'll have that Suna Suna fruit locked down, but Dorne is on the list of places coming soon to Luffy takes the Iron Throne. Haha, hope you enjoyed, and as always, thanks for the review!

A fantastic story so far can't wait to read more. Not to mention Luffy gave Arya his hat, that's pretty significant, maybe some strong feelings there?

Thanks a lot! Yeah Luffy gave her his hat, but I think that just shows he thinks of her as definitely a member of his crew now, just like he did when Nami was down back in Arlong Park Arc. Hope you enjoyed this chapter!

Dude, if only Ace were with them when they hit Westeros:
"You can't fight the White Walkers! The only things that can hurt them are dragon glass and-"
"FIRE FIST!"
"... well shit."

Haha, that would have been a funny sight for the wildlings and Night's Watch. XD

I'm going to be honest with you throughout the whole battle I kept thinking Yeah Luffy is going to blast them all down with Haki and Nami is going to summon lighting and Usopp is going to shoot bullets of plants but them I had a sudden realization that this is before the 2 year skip before they all got badass cause Brook isn't here and now I'm a bit disappointed
Keep on the writes

Yeah, Brook was missing since chapter one, but I'm glad you put the pieces together during the battle lol. Yeah, I figured pre-timeskip was best Straw Hats for Game of Thrones world, hope you kept reading through the story and weren't too disappointed in lack of skeleton musician on the crew.

Again, thanks to everyone who reviewed, and I promise the next chapter will be out quicker than this one took! 'Till next time!
