Neb: I do not own One Piece
Luffy: Review to your heart's content!
Katsu ran outside after hearing all the commotion. Apparently the Mountain Bandit leader didn't take kindly to having one of his men shot and the others kicked the crap out of. Now he had Luffy outside on a boat gloating at how people would never believe he'd use the water as his means to end someone when he's a Mountain Bandit. The man tossed Luffy inside the water causing him to swim up. He got ready to through an ancor on top of Luffy before Katsu swung a punch from the Island hitting the man in the face. The bandit rubbed his face, but wasn't affected much by the hit.
"Dammit, I need practice," Katsu admitted.
"How did he hit me from over there the mountain," bandit yelled. Luffy grinned before swimming away from the boat. The man got angry and was about to jump in after Luffy, but a giant serpent came out of the water and ate him.
"What the hell," Katsu yelled. Luffy tried swimming back to shore as fast as he could, but the monster began swimming towards him. Next thing Katsu knew, Luffy was safe and Shanks was next to him starring down the beast. The beast had sweat forming on it as it starred at Shanks and then it left.
"Shanks, your arm," Luffy cried.
"It's not worth that much," Shanks smiled.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh," the Paradox man roared in agony.
"What the hell happened," Buggy yelled as he fell back from being terrified of the man's sudden outburst.
"Consistency," replied the man.
"What is that suppose to mean?"
"As I showed you before by freezing everything around us ten meters away, I control the tic toc fruit. That devil fruit in comparison to other devil fruits has a yin and a yang to it. A man and a woman, one who feeds off of the consistency in the time line and one who feeds off of inconsistency, contradictory, paradoxes if you will."
"Sounds like a hassle if you ask me," Buggy spat while picking his ear. The clown wasn't impressed with this devil fruit, he'd take his own rather than have to fight against himself all the time.
"Oh, but the prize in the end is worth it," the man grinned.
"Oh tell me," Buggy grinned.
"Complete control over your timeline, anyone or anything you lost you can just take back," he laughed. "Anything you could never reach, you can reach a hundred times over!"
"Sounds incredible," a man in a suit grinned. Alvida and him both showed up at the same time along with a man in gold armor. "But my men tell me that red haired shanks is with him and I don't feel like having to fight such an opponent." The man in the suit pushed his glasses up and Alvida, Buggy, and the golden armor man looked at him with confusion.
"Shanks, if I could kill that bastard, I would have by now," Buggy yelled.
"Calm down Buggy, he is no match for all of us, especially having you guys help me get rid of the brat then the biggest paradox ever will come killing my other half and giving me full power of the fruit. Then I will make your timelines better as reward. You will live like celestial dragons!" They all grinned at that idea.
"Why would the brat dieing be such a problem for the world," Kuro asked.
"Lets just say... he grows up to be a pirate that sees a lot, and effects a lot, but you guys are some of the first enemies he defeats before his journey, if you win, I win."
"Well will have to discuss it... in private, after all we can't be too careful can we?"
"Of course, I won't stop you, don't have the energy to stop you," the man in the brown cloak laughed. "I used to much of it traveling back to the past, but energy won't be a problem for me if you agree to help."
"If we refuse and kill you instead," Don Kreig spat. The paradox man looked up at the man in golden armor.
"Then you live the same lives and loose like last time, the brat will be in the grand line and you'll be forgotten," he responded. "Most of them anyways," he thought.
"Fine, if we want to win, we need to help him, no choice in the matter," Kuro decided.
"Oh no, you have a choice, by all means, live the same lives, if you pass up this opportunity, I will simply find other means, to end his life, he's made many enemies."
"We don't want to pass up the riches," Alvida grinned.
"That we do not," Kuro grinned and so did Buggy and Don Krieg.
The man in the cloak grinned with them.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"So we're headed to the island of this Straw Hat Luffy you speak of, Mr. Dragon."
"No, we're getting him more backup first, we are looking for another friend named Usopp," Dragon responded.
"K, and then we get him and he beats up Arlong," Nami responded.
"Yes... hopefully," Dragon replied.
"Why did you pause, he wins against Arlong doesn't he," Nami yelled.
"Yes, but he had a bit more training in that time period, it's not going to be easy, we need him to learn to fight first," Dragon explained.
"So Usopp will train him," Nami asked.
"Um, no," Dragon replied.
"Then why are we looking for Usopp," Nami yelled with sharp teeth.
"Consistency, I've found myself on your Island, so I work back from there, first I get Usopp then I get Zoro, then we find Luffy and work our way up from there with Sanji, Ch- not him, at least I'm not sure if he's old enough to perform Doctor duties, Robin, Franky, and... well the other man hasn't found his body yet, so not him either."
"And you can get us there fast," Nami questioned.
"Yes," he replied. "Did you not notice the wind in our favor the whole time we've been out here. You'll have to pick up on those things, learn everything about being a proper navigator or your Nakama will be lost."
"Right, sorry," Nami responded.
"No need to apologize, just get ready to meat your friends and I will do my best to lead us to our next destination."
