hey guys this chapter is a bit shorter than the rest but i wanted to make this a two chaper arc so i'll leave it as it is for now. sorry.
Now onto reviews :)
Ultima-Owner: thanks I'm glad you liked the shouting match between Buggy and fairys. i couldn't stop grinning as I imagined it while writing it.

PCeshire: Sorry but Fairys is based on me (no matter how loosely it may be) for instance i am terrified of heights and always wanted to be a speed deomn. however as a result fairys won't get into any Yaoi and i'll even try to keep him from any relationships. Sorry but that's just how it is.

Kushjay805 (think I got it right) and Guest: thanks i'm glad you guys enjoyed it so far :) I hope you feel the same about this chapter.

Something was strange when we showed up to Syrup village. There was no slingshot attacks, or flags rising or Usopp appearing to threaten us with his eight million super being pirate soldiers. There was just quite.

Something was wrong.

"I know you are there. Come out and we won't have to hurt you," I shouted following a small hunch that maybe the famed liar was hiding.

There was a loud scream of fearr and then someone fell out of the nearby bushes, off the small cliff and into the sand right in front of us. The long nose and bushy hair made it obvious who it was.

Instantly Usopp righted himself and backed as far away from us as possible, pointing his slingshot at us as he did "st-st-stay back. I-i'm ar-armed and my c-crew w-will be along sh-shortly," he stammered fearfully.

Now I'm sure you're thinking just why is Usopp so terrified of us after all he wasn't so terrified of Luffy, Zoro and Nami in the manga. We can all admit that I'm not exactly terrifying as well, so why is he so scared? Well that would be my fault you see as a result of my actions the Strawhat's had a new member, even though he was terrified with us. I didn't want to bring him along but Luffy ordered it. Anyway Long story short show up to an island riding on a huge lion and apparently people freak out, who knew?

I looked at Luffy curious to see what our captains reaction to this would be. "You're a pirate too?" he asked excitedly. "Awesome you must have been on loads of adventures! Where's your ship? You got any meet? How many on your crew? Where's the meat? What's your name? Is it good meat?"

Luffy was forced to stop when Nami punched him "forget about the meat can't you tell that he's terrified?" she shouted.

"H-hey I'm not t-terrified," Usopp shouted back.

Zoro scoffed, Luffy laughed, Nami glared a him and I just gave him a kind smile "relax none of these idiots are going to hurt you. Just don't stand between Luffy and meat and you'll be perfectly fine, you may end up with a headache though."

"I'm not terrified!" Usopp exclaimed "after all I have eighty million Pirate soldiers that will squash you all like bugs."

"AWESOME!" Luffy shouted stars in his eyes.

"You idiot he's obviously lying," Nami snapped.

"Gah how did you know?" Usopp asked in fear.

I rolled my eyes at his antics "you do know even the great Whitebeard doesn't have that many men, then there's the fact that this island doesn't have enough space for that many men, there are almost no ships in the harbour...it's just a pathetic lie really," I pointed out.

Luffy and Zoro began to laugh at Usopp's dejected face while Nami just glared at the two as if they were idiots.

"SHUT UP!" Usopp shouted. He was standing there glaring at his with his slingshot drawn. "DON'T LAUGH AT ME!"

I smirked waiting for Luffy to say his famous words.

"Now that you've drawn your pistol are you willing...to use it?" Luffy asked suddenly serious.

"Wha?" Usopp asked too shocked to use actual words.

"I'm saying that guns aren't for threats they're for actions are you willing to risk your life?" Luffy finished.

Zoro drew his sword while I drew my gunblade, pointing the barrel at Usopp. "I can assure you we're real pirates," Zoro announced "choose your next actions carefully."

After a few tense seconds Usopp fell back on to his ass "real pirates are more intimidating because they can actually back up what they say, that's so cool," he muttered.

Luffy, Zoro and I just broke into laughter while Nami glared weakly at us, muttering something about boys no doubt. Shortly after Luffy explained how he had stolen the line he used from Shanks and everything was great.

…

We were walking to the local inn when it happened. When I say walking I mean everyone else was walking and I was riding along on Richie.

"Ummm you're not going to be allowed to bring that lion into town," Usopp pointed out nervously.

I glared at him, I'm pretty sure Richie did too. "Oh and why not? What's wrong with bringing Richie here into town?" I asked. I knew what the reason was and I fully understood it. This wasn't the grand line, a lion was very unusual and people would panic. I just liked messing with Usopp.

"Fairys stop it. You know everyone will get frightened if they see Richie," Nami declared glaring at me.

I gave a small pout "fine but can you guys make sure to pick us up some food? I don't want to leave Richie alone so I guess we'll just stay around here," I said gesturing to the long empty road.

Hearing the word food Luffy quickly ran off dragging Usopp and Zoro along with him. "Don't worry I'll get you some food," Nami promised before chasing after the others.

Once the others were gone I jumped off of Richie with a small grin. "okay I have a rough idea of how high and how far I can jump now for my speed. Let's see if I remember correct an average lion can do fifty miles per hour which equals about one hundred metres for four to five seconds (the same speed as soru funnily enough) you are a bit bigger so you'll be slower. You would probably do one hundred metres in seven to eight seconds if we include the fact that you have to accelerate," I murmur to myself more than to the lion, probably confusing him. Shaking my self out of my thoughts I turned to Richie "okay here's what's going to happen, you see that tree there?" I asked pointing to a nearby tree "and that one there," I pointed to another tree roughly three hundred metres away. "What we are going to do is have a race from one tree to the next. Understand?"

Richie nodded fearfully, guess he's still terrified I'll kill him. "Oh and you better go as fast as you can," I ordered "or..." I let it drop away knowing it would frighten the lion more that way. A second later he was standing beside one tree ready to go.

I grinned as I got into position, I didn't bother stretching or getting into a runners stance. "Okay on three we go," I order Richie. "One, two, three."

The race was short and quick, the time it took us to do it was faster than possible in my previous life. Problem is I had trouble stopping. End over end I went tumbling until I finally came to a stop. Groaning a bit I pulled myself to my feet and looked back. "fuck I tumbled over fifty metres," I muttered in surprise before looking at Richie. "Any idea how much I beat you buy?"

Richie stared at me nervously for a few seconds before tapping the ground four times. "four seconds?" I asked only to get a nod. I grin happily "assuming my guess estimate was right then that means I can do one hundred metres in six to seven seconds, not bad."

I grinned excitedly,, I had never been athletic in fact I used to be unfit but this was exciting I wondered just what I could do. Smirking I turned to a nearby tree and ran towards it as fast as I could. My plan was to jump and then rebound off of it using my legs. I crashed into the tree.

"That better not be laughing I hear," I growled at Richie. Instantly the lion stopped making any noise.

I pulled myself to my feet for the second time that day thanking god Manga physics meant I was barely even bruised. Once more I readied myself in front of the tree with a bit more distance this time. Taking a breath I ran forward, not at full speed, more like half speed. Just before I reached the tree I jumped...and got stuck in the branches.

"Okay third times the charm," I growled to myself as I dropped out of the tree. Once more I prepared myself, I ran forward, I jumped. My feet hit the side of the tree and then I pushed off. I was flying..."OH SHIT!" I screamed my fear of heights kicking in. Seeing the ground get further and further away was terrifying, it was horrible. Thankfully it ended and soon was falling. "Not good not good not good," I muttered, bringing my arms up I shielded my head and prepared for a rough landing.

I landed hard and stayed like that for several minutes, trying to ignore the pain in my body. When it was done I broke into laughter. It was great, I was faster than anyone had a right to be, I could jump higher and further than humanly possible. It was fantastic now if only I could control it and get rid of my fear of heights.

"What are you doing?" came Nami's annoyed tone, guess the laughing weirded her out or something.

Sitting up I noticed she was there along with Zoro and two brats, in her hand was a bag that I hoped contained food. "Just doing some thinking," I said with a small smile "is that my food?"

Nami nodded and passed me the bag "I wasn't sure what to get you but figured you would like a burger," she announced.

I nodded and took the bag quickly taking the burger out and beginning to eat. Once I was finished I noticed that Zoro was asleep, the two brats were staring at Richie in fright, Nami was glaring at me and Richie looked like he was starving. I sighed "Richie there's a forest down near the beach. Go and hunt for some food if you want but be back in an hour." None of us even saw him move, there was just a trail of dust.

We all just sat there in silence for a few minutes before Nami piped up "I've been meaning to ask, what kind of weapon is that?" she asked gesturing to my gunblade "how can it be both a sword and a gun?"

I drew it, holding it up to show her "it's a gunblade. It's quite simple really the blade part folds into the front of the gun barrel when it's in blade form. In gun form it folds over the barrel. Rumour has it that it was created by Vegapunk, I'm not sure if it's true but it's been with me for a long time," I lied.

Nami frowned in confusion "who's Vegapunk? He sounds familiar but I can't place the name."

"He's a genius scientist. It is said that his ideas are five hundred years ahead of anything else made today," I explained.

"Wow that's awesome," one of the brats exclaimed.

I nodded "yeah but I've never had proper training with it so I'm pretty much an amateur when it comes to a fight."

"But you beat Mohji," Nami pointed out in slight confusion.

"I got lucky," I replied with a shrug.

"WAAAAHHHH IT'S A CREEPY BACKWARDS MAN!" a third brat screamed running towards us.

I knew who he was talking about. Jango was on his way here. The master hypnotist, first mate of the Kuro Pirates and soon to be member of Black Cage Hina's crew in the Marines. Jango wasn't actually a bad person in this world, more like someone who did what he needed to do and what he needed to do was keep Kuro happy. Despite all of this I had no desire to meet the man just yet. I pulled myself to my feet "I'm gonna go and find Richie I'll see you guys later," I announced before running to the forest at top speed.

Once I reached the forest I slowed down to about half speed and made my way through the trees. I didn't bother trying to call for Richie, to be honest I was here to try and practice some more. It would be really hard trying to explain to everyone just how I was able to move faster than I could control after all.

I ran through the forest dodging trees, leaping over roots and streams doing my best just to keep moving. Every couple of minutes I would gradually increase my speed. After ten minutes I was running at seventy five percent speed. When I reached eighty percent I started to have trouble. The trees were to close together, the roots were too numerous. I tripped and hit a few trees but still kept going. At ninety percent I was doing more crashing and tripping than running eventually I decided to stop for a bit.

"Okay I can see perfectly fine I just can't react fast enough yet," I muttered before drawing my gunblade. "Let's see how fast I can move while attacking."

Once more I rushed through the tree's, attacking with my gunblade as I did. After a minute of that I stopped and looked at what I had done. I hadn't cut completely through any of the trees but deep cuts from my blade were everywhere. It looked similar to when Kuro used his Shakushi attack, though I wasn't at his level.

"I'd probably have a similar combat style to him," I mused aloud. "Just keep moving, never stay still all the while attacking every enemy in sight. Hit and run tactics would be useful as well. I would also have to take the time to teach myself some haki. I knew how to learn Observation but Armament I'd have to guess at. Maybe try and meditate, focusing all of my will on my gunblade then attacking with it would help?" I shrugged I'd figure it out later when I am able to use my body correctly at it's maximum.

Having a basic idea of what I could now do I went off in search of Richie, calling his name as I did. Training more today would be pointless. I would rest up and plan for tomorrow's battle, hopefully I will be of some actual use.
