I REALLY want to see fanart with Zoro's smile. I want it on a poster. The explanation of magic and devil fruits makes sense. Question: will Lucy become a zombie, or will she be spared?
Omg, yes! I want fanart of smiling Zoro's too. Even more I want to see fanart of this pairing. I'd draw some myself but unfortunately, my drawing skills are no where near as good as my writing skills. And as you read these chapters you will discover that no, Lucy will not be turned into zombie.

I love your story and was curious to know if Loke will be making an appearance or has he already hm...I have to look back and I know you want to focus more on the new spirits but will we have time to have at least one appearance from Lucy's keys. I kinda miss them but I'm more curious about the new ones. I can't wait for your next upload. Keep up the great work!
More than likely yes. I just need to look for a spot to squeeze him in at. Even briefly.

Just imagine thier faces the moments they she her powers. Whaaaaaa. Please do it please... Its really an amazing chapter. Thanks for the update. (灬ω灬)(灬ω灬)
Unfortunately, as much as I would like to, I don't think she will be. I would like this story to be finished and I simply don't have the energy or will to write her into that arc. There will be a chapter dedicated to her island training though.
Shortly after they entered the Florian Triangle, the crew of the Going Merry would hear a haunting song echoing throughout the fog. Then suddenly a large ghost ship appeared out of the gloom behind them. As it sailed past them, they would be able to see the tall, singing skeleton aboard the ship, striking horror into several members of the crew. Of course Luffy was ecstatic to meet the singing skeleton, so the crew drew straws to see who would go on board with the Captain. Nami and Sanji drew the short straws and ended up having to go on board with the rubber man.
When the three bring the skeleton back to the ship, the rest of the crew were shocked to find out that the skeleton, who had introduced himself as "Dead Bones" Brook, was now a member of their crew . . . thanks to Luffy and his impulsive nature. He ended up joining them for a meal and he explained to them his devil fruit ability, which contributed to his existence of a skeleton. When the crew he was with entered the Florian Triangle, they were quickly wiped out. His Devil Fruit, which granted him a second chance at life, allowed his soul to linger and return to his body. However, he got lost in the fog and when his soul finally found his body, he was nothing but bones.
It was at this point that Usopp, who had donned exorcist attire, noticed that the skeleton didn't have a reflection. Brooks tells them that his shadow had been stolen, and that he can not leave the Florian Triangle with the crew as the sun would turn him to dust. For their own safety, he refused to reveal who the culprit was, but thanks them for brightening his existence. A ghost appears just as Brook was preparing to play them a song, causing Lucy, Chopper, Usopp, Nami, and Brook to scream. As it flies away, large gates entrapped the Straw Hats and their new ship. Brook tells them to escape before running across the water to the nearby island.
While the others want to heed Brook's warning and find a way to escape, Luffy decides they should explore the island instead. Using her powers, Robin informs them that they are currently encased by a large wall that surrounds the entire island. At this, Nami and Chopper claim to have contracted Usopp's "can't-get-on-this-island disease" and, seeing how creepy the place was, Lucy did as well. Luffy, on the other hand, had no such qualms, grabbing a net and a box to catch anything of interest, and further encouraged by the prospect of adding Brook to the crew, Usopp's attempts to dissuade him fall flat. Robin and Franky decide to go with them.
Believing that they'd need a smaller ship to make it to the shore, Franky revealed another Soldier Dock Channel, the Mini Merry II. It was a small paddle boat that resembled their previous ship, the Going Merry. Eager to try it out, Usopp, Nami, Chopper, and Lucy immediately jump in and head for the shore, leaving behind the other five members of the crew on the ship.
In their excitement, they crashed the Mini Merry II into a waterless moat, having been going too fast to stop or slow down by the time they spotted it, and were thrown off the small rowboat and into the moat. Out of the darkness, a patched and sewn together looking three headed dog came out of the shadows. Usopp threw a smoke bomb at it and the four weaker members of the crew managed to escape up a tree on the other side of the moat. But the horrors didn't stop there, as they encountered a suspiciously vampire looking man who went by the name of Hildon, who offered to take them back to Dr. Hogback's mansion.
Chopper recognizes the name and explains that Dr. Hogback was a famous doctor that went missing many years ago. As he was doing this, they had gotten into the carriage that was nearby. On the way to the mansion however, they see several frightening, stitched together monsters, which causes them to request to be taken back to the shore. Hildon seemed to agree and went outside the carriage to relay their request to the coachman. Minutes pass and they look out to find Hildon and the horses gone, leaving them alone in the middle of a graveyard.
Lucy was the first to notice the zombies rising up out of the graves. Her shriek caught the attention of the others and was then copied as they all ran towards Doctor Hogback's mansion. Upon arriving, they encountered a Frankenstein maid who proceeded to attack them by throwing plates at them until a man came out of the mansion and told her to stop. The maid's name was revealed to be Cindry, she had been kicked out of her home because she had tested her lover's feelings by breaking all his important dishes. The man introduced himself as the one and only Dr. Hogback and invited them in for dinner, where he explained that he was on the island to research the zombie inhabitants.
Chopper was ecstatic and accepted immediately, Lucy on the other hand had a really bad feeling, and she had learned to trust these feelings. After dinner, she and Nami took a shower together while talking to Chopper and Usopp as they guarded the door, per Nami's orders. Nami informed them that she thinks Dr. Hogback is lying and knows more about the island than he's letting on.
Lucy pipes in. "I think Nami's right. I've had a bad feeling about this place since we arrived. Then there's how Hildon just ditched us in the graveyard when we told him we wanted to go back to the ship."
Nami made a sound of agreement behind her. Suddenly Lucy felt herself being pinned to the wall and her mouth being covered, but she couldn't see her attacker, as it appeared to be invisible. Screaming into the hand covering her mouth, her knee reflexively jerked up. Whatever had attacked was humanoid and definitely male, judging by its reaction to her knee ramming into the apex of its thighs. She was immediately released with a pained grunt and Lucy then proceeded to Lucy Kick her attacker through the wall, literally. She had kicked him so hard it left a man shaped hole in the wall. The commotion summoned Chopper and Usopp into the shower room, which promptly earned them a smack, a scolding, and a fee from Nami . . . at least that's what Usopp got.
Later that night, the group decided to explore the mansion. They were attacked by several zombies and upon escaping them, they stumble into a room decorated with pictures of Cindry. Nami realizes that Cindry was a famous actress that had reportedly died ten years ago. Bolting once again upon opening a chest and finding a zombie jack-in-the-box, they accidentally enter a secret passage hidden in a fireplace. Following the passage way, they come across Dr. Hogback's lab and find him actually creating a zombie. Suddenly they were knocked forward into the lab and when they turn around they see a zombie samurai who introduced himself as Ryuma. Upon seeing Lucy and Nami, he asked them if he can see their panties, angering them until they realize . . .
"He's just like Brook . . . " said Lucy.
Ryuma responded by drawing his sword and running straight past them. Confused but relieved that he didn't done anything, they started to run but collapsed, unconscious from the wounds that they had not noticed had been inflicted as the zombie samurai ran past them.
An undetermined amount of time of time later, Nami, Lucy, and Usopp were woken by Chopper and find themselves what looked like a forest, but was actually a garden on a bridge spanning from the tower of Dr. Hogback's mansion. Soon they found themselves surrounded by animal zombies, one of which was a penguin with a dog's face. They turned tail and began to fight through them to escape. When any of the other animal zombies tried to attack either Nami or Lucy, the dog-penguin protected them, saying it will never harm a lady.
Then a hippo zombie wearing a wedding dress tries to attack Lucy but she is picked up by a lion faced man, who name was Absalom. Nami took her Clima-tact and electrocuted him, allowing the group to continue escaping as they were pursued by Lola and Absalom mistook being electrocuted for love. During the chase, Lucy somehow got separated from the others and was cornered by Lola. Once Lucy found out why Lola was trying to kill her, she managed to convince her that she was a man, telling Lola that if she wanted Absalom to marry her, she would need would need to go after her. The hippo zombie took her advice, going after Absalom. Lucy takes the chance to rejoin with Usopp, Nami, and Chopper, who happen to be hiding in a large stuffed animal zombie named Kumashi.
They all watched in horror from inside Kumashi as a man named Gekko Moriah removed Luffy's shadow and causing him to lose consciousness and he orders spider mice to take the body back to the Straw Hat's ship while the shadow is quickly taken away. Awhile later they heard a very loud voice bellowing for food. The gang fell out of Kumashi and were discovered, but whatever it was roared for food again and they took advantage of the momentary distraction to escape. As they run down the stairs, they're enveloped by explosions that came out of nowhere. In the commotion, Lucy was knocked out and stolen away by Absalom while the rest got surrounded by zombies.

Sometime later, Usopp, Nami, and Chopper, having rejoined with Franky and Robin, return to the ship. Upon their return to the Thousand Sunny, they find Sanji, Zoro, and Luffy all positioned in rather amusing, but immature, ways. In an attempt to wake them, Franky and Nami both hit the three several times, with no response. Then Usopp gets an idea.
"A BEAUTIFUL LADY who is a STRONG SWORDSMAN has just brought A TON OF MEAT!" he shouted.
Shamefully, the tactic worked and the three strongest members of the Straw Hats began coming to. They explain the situation to the three and Franky informs them that Brook was a member of the crew that had promised their return to Laboon, a giant whale waiting at the Reverse Mountain. Zoro however, becomes a bit more concerned at Lucy's absence, something responds to by immediately running off the ship to go look for her, Sanji stays to make sure Nami stays safe.
Zoro finds Lucy just in time to see Absalom trying to kiss an unconscious Lucy, who was being held up by a couple of zombies. Rage burned like fire through his veins and his body moved before he could to tell it to. Absalom's puckered lips met Zoro's palm as the swordsman grabbed him by the face and threw him through the wall before doing the same to the zombies holding Lucy up. He caught her in his arms as she fell before drawing one of his swords as Absalom began rising out of the rubble.
"Oi, you, give me back my bride!" Absalom groaned as he stood.
"She not yours." Zoro told him with a heated glare, his voice nearly a growl. There was the slight undertone of "she's mine" to his voice that he himself didn't notice.
Absalom fired an explosion at him, which Zoro deftly dodged without much change in facial expression. Zoro nearly cut him in half with a one sword slice, which Absalom barely dodged. The lion man proceed to fire two invisible guns strapped to his hands, only to be blocked by Zoro's blade. Seeing he was clearly outmatched, he attempted to escape by turning invisible, but this didn't work all that well as Zoro was able to instinctively sense him. Finally, with the lion faced man unconscious, Zoro hiked Lucy up onto his shoulder like a sack of potatoes and began running to rejoin the others.
Along the way, he comes across Ryuma about to cut off Brook's afro. He blocks the hit. Noticing he had a nice blade, one that would make a great replacement for the one that was destroyed back at Enies Lobby, he challenges him. Zoro set Lucy down, placing her in the protection of Brook, informing him that if he does anything to her or if anything happens to her, he'll kick his ass, and with that, he begins his battle with Ryuma.
It was a tough battle, the opponents being nearly equal in strength, but Zoro won in the end, defeating the zombie samurai with an attack involving blue flames. As he dies, Ryuma gives his sword to Zoro, claiming him to be worthy to yield it. Shortly afterwards, Brooks shadow returned to him following the zombie's death.
Now to rejoin with the crew . . .
Well I hope you enjoyed that chapter and please leave a review.
