The fourth chapter of the bulk submit.


Soon after the events with The Flying Fish Riders and the Macro Pirates, they finally arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago. On the way there, Keimi and Pappug explain to them that there are two ways of getting to the New World, the first being to request permission from the World Government to pass to Mariejois, which was out of the question considering they were pirates, and the second was to go through Fishman Island, sailing through a passage underneath the Red Line. Making them promise not to attack any World Nobles, even if someone was killed before their eyes, Hatchan promises to take them to someone who would coat their ship so they would be able to get to Fishman Island.

Usopp and Franky stay aboard the Thousand Sunny to make repairs, and Sanji stayed to look after the treasure aboard the ship per Nami's request while the others left to explore the island. Zoro and Lucy left together, Lucy claiming it was to make sure that Zoro didn't get lost. The rest of the crew bought the story, but Nami and Robin didn't miss the secretive look Zoro and Lucy shared, or how Zoro didn't yell at her for suggesting he had a bad sense of direction. Both women smiled at each other, knowing what was going on.

While they are walking around together, exploring the island, they come across a World Noble. Lucy watches in horror and Zoro in anger as the Noble kicks over a stretcher that was carrying a dying man. When the doctors and the nurse with him protested and begged for the Noble to let them take the man to the hospital that was just behind him, the Noble got angry, saying that the man's life was less important than him receiving respect was. The nurse gave her try at pleading with the Noble, but instead was immediately chosen to be the Noble's wife. One of the doctors, the woman's fiancé, steps forward and protests. The Noble responds by shooting the man. Having had enough, both Lucy and Zoro step forward to attack the man and stop him. Angry at them for disrespecting him, he pulls out his pistol and fired two shots at them. They dodge and are preparing to attack back but were tackled by a child.

"Nii-san! Onee-san!" she cried, her eyes telling them to play along as she pretended that they'd been shot.

Satisfied that they were dead, the Noble moved on. The child berated them, asking them if they were trying to bring the Marine Admirals down on the island. Having no clue what she was talking about, Lucy and Zoro helped the dying man and the doctor that had been shot get to the hospital. Things got even stranger as they were picked up by a couple of Flying Fish Riders, Luffy being with them. Luffy informed them that Keimi had been kidnapped and they had to go to an auction house to save her.

Luffy decided it would be a good idea to crash right through the roof, an idea Lucy very adamantly disagreed with, but her protests were ignored and the three crashed right through the roof of the auction house. Everyone was shocked by their arrival. Luffy immediately rushes so save Keimi, who was being held in a giant fishbowl on the auction stage. Hatchan was forced to restrain Luffy, causing him to reveal himself as an octopus fishman when he'd been disguising himself as a human. A gunshot rang out and shocked silence fell . . .

The Noble from earlier had shot Hatchan. Everyone stared on in shock and horror and Luffy attempts to retaliate, but Hatchan reminds him that he'd promised to harm any of the World Nobles, and claimed he deserved it anyway. Hatchan says he just wants to make up for his time as a pirate. The Noble had heard enough and raises his gun to shoot Hatchan again, and Luffy didn't care anymore, striding angrily up to the Noble and punching him full force in the face.

Luffy apologizes to his crew but they understood, and no one was complaining about what he did. Lucy and Zoro even piped in, saying that they had wanted to attack him too. Zoro added that this made things less complicated since they were pirates after all. The others that had been there to buy a slave quickly cleared out. Zoro frees Keimi from the fishbowl as the rest of the Straw Hats as they begin to fight the other Noble's guards. The wall was suddenly destroyed, revealing Rayleigh and giant. He says he was only here to take the house's money, and the money of anyone who bought him, though no one would want to buy an old man anyway.

Seeing Hatchan and Keimi, who knew the man, Rayleigh quickly connected the dots about what was going on. He released a wave of energy that made Lucy gasp as it passed over her and the others, knocking out the guards. It was like standing near Gildarts when he was getting ready to battle Acnologia with the rest of them, just the sheer amount of power emanating from this man. He removes the explosive collar that had been placed on Kiemi while Franky gives the keys to the other slaves so they can begin freeing themselves.

There were two other pirate captains present in the auction house as well by the name of Law and Kidd, both rookie pirate captains like Luffy. When they address Rayleigh as the "Dark King", he replies saying he's just a simple coating engineer now and asks them not to use his former title as he would prefer to continue living his peaceful life. He then thanks Luffy to saving Hatchan and tells them they should leave, but by then Marines had completely surrounded the building, demanding the release of the World Noble they were holding "hostage", when in actually the Noble was unconscious on the ground.

When Kidd offers to take care of the Marines while the others escape, Law and Luffy take it as an insult and instead choosing to join him in the fight. The giant from before decides to help by aiding the rest of the Straw Hats in getting the slaves out. The Marine forces had been pretty much obliterated by the three captains by the time the others came out to help, but reinforcements were already arriving so they cleared a path for Rayleigh, Keimi, and Hatchan to escape before following Rayleigh to Shakky's bar.

As Hatchan's gunshot wound is treated, the rest of the crew speak with Rayleigh. He reveals that he was a member of Gold Roger's crew. Sanji asks him how he can be alive if Gold Roger's crew had been captured, to which Rayleigh responds by saying that The King of the Pirates had turned himself in, having contracted an incurable disease four years before he was executed, disbanding his crew beforehand. Turns out, he had conquered the Grandline in just three years, being executed a year after being "crowned" the King of the Pirates. The crew were actually shocked and awed by the story, especially about how he started the new pirate age. After telling the story, he offers to coat their ship for free and tells them it will take him three days to properly coat it, and until then they should lie low and avoid trouble.

To draw attention away from the shop, they decided to split up and they're each given a Vivre Card so they can find their way back to the shop. Rayleigh decides to move their ship to a safer location. Even Lucy and Zoro split up, but not before a secretly stolen kiss. This separation didn't last long however as they eventually end up together again, fighting a Kuma clone.

They manage to take it down but Zoro is decommissioned, still suffering from his injuries that occurred during Thriller Bark. He keeps fighting as a second clone shows up. Lucy collapsed to her knees, exhausted after fighting at her fullest and summoning several spirits. The rest of the crew are also completely exhausted as well. And then a third one drops out of the sky with a third clone and a woman who looked like she wouldn't be out of place at a sumo wrestling match.

It fires a laser at them and they dodge. Luffy orders them to split up and run, but this plan didn't turn out as they'd hoped as they were stopped by not only the PX-1, which was the clone that the woman had come down with, but they were also stopped by a man named Kizaru, the user of the Pika Pika no Mi and one of the three Marine Admirals. He kicks Zoro, completely immobilizing him because of his other injures. Lucy screamed out his name and ran to his side as Brook and Usopp tried to stop Kizaru from killing Zoro.

Tears on her cheeks, Lucy stood angrily. "Open, Gate of the Twins! I summon thee, Gemini!" she shouted out.

Once the twins popped out, Lucy had them recopy her and then turn into her. They took each other's hands and glared steadily at Kizaru as they began to chant together. During this time, Rayleigh had arrived and diverted one of Kizaru's kicks. The old man even manages to cut the light man's cheek.

"Survey the Heavens, Open the Heavens. All the stars, far and wide, Show me thy appearance With such shine. Oh Tetrabiblos, I am the ruler of the stars. Aspect become complete. Open thy malevolent gate. Oh 88 Stars of the heavens, Shine!" Lucy and Gemini chanted in sync.

The area around them became filled with floating orbs that appeared astral in origin. Both Rayleigh and Kizaru notice this and look over at Lucy. They were shocked to see that she had apparently doubled, but not only that, she and Gemini were glowing in a golden light. They opened their eyes in unison, their eyes golden magic circles. They looked like angry goddesses. Sensing the potential danger, Rayleigh immediately got out of the way.

"Urano Metria!" they shouted, levitating off the ground.

The eighty eight astral bodies surrounding them glowed brightly before shooting towards Kizaru in a bright light show. It looked as if the stars themselves were attacking him in broad daylight. When the lights cleared, Gemini disappeared back to the Celestial Realm and Lucy's eyes rolled back in her head as she passed out from the drain on her magic, collapsing next to Zoro. Kizaru appeared from the cloud of dust that was created from the attack. He was breathing heavily and scraped and bruised. Rayleigh was shocked that Lucy had done so much damage to him.

"Lucy!" Zoro groaned in concern.

Painfully and slowly, Zoro reached for her, right before the real Kuma attacks the clone, stopping it from killing Usopp. Kuma then hits Lucy, causing her to disappear right before Zoro's eyes. He screamed her name before glaring at Kuma with eyes full of rage that promised a painful death. Then he was hit by Kuma as well . . . . One by one, the rest of the crew were hit and sent to someplace far far away.
