Disclaimer: I still don't own One Piece :(
It had been a day or two since they started sailing , and the crew was doing their own thing. Sanji , Usopp , Luffy and Carue were drinking something Sanji had made. Zoro was napping with Leo jumping around the ship for some reason , he jumped from the crows nest towards the tangerine grove that Nami had and then jumped back. Vivi was concerned about the crews actions by now. These people had huge bounties and they didn't care about the Grand Line weather or anything.
She voiced her opinion when Nami came out of the kitchen , two drinks in her hand.
"What are they doing?" She questioned and Nami shrugged , handing her a drink. "Don't worry about them , they get things done when needed."
Leo took this moment to take a break and get a drink. But what he saw while heading there stopped him in his tracks.
"Guys" he started , in a voice that gained all their attention. "there is a dolphin right there." He pointed at an empty patch of sea.
"I don't see anyth-" before Sanji could finish , a dolphin came out of the water in its magnificent glory.
"Its cute." Nami exclaimed , and Leo ran to get the sails in shape. This confused Zoro , but they then heard his shout.
"Its huge , at least hundred times bigger than the ship!" The crew knew to trust Leo's sight and got to work. Which was proven effective as the dolphin showed its true colors , or size , to the crew.
"Full sail! We'll ride the wave out of here!" Luffy shouted , hand on his hat to keep it on. The dolphin fell towards the sea , creating a huge wave that the Going Merry rode away from it.
Vivi was surprised at first , which then turned into a smile. They knew what they were doing for sure. Leo jumped down from the crows nest, going in to the kitchen. Vivi was curious , so she followed him inside. Only to finds him sitting on a chair , drinking orange juice. He noticed her and gave a small smile.
"Did you need something?" Leo asked , eyes slowly spinning. Vivi was kind of anxious , she never interacted with Leo before. And the eyes didn't help.
"Don't worry , I won't bite." Leo said with a grin , trying to relieve the tension. Which surprisingly worked as Vivi took a seat in front of him.
"I'm curious , what is your role on the ship? Luffy-san introduced most of the crew but you and Usopp-san weren't mentioned." She asked , to start a conversation. Leo smiled at her.
"Usopp is the sharpshooter , and he fits the role. The guy has perfect aim." Leo started , and Vivi leaned on her arm.
"As for me," he continued , eyeing Vivi for a second "our captain learned about my eyesight and immediately made me the lookout. But whatever." Leo dismissed whatever thoughts were running through his head and Vivi sweat dropped. Even he wasn't sure.
Leo muttered something to himself , and turned to Vivi." So , how was being a spy?" Leo asked , getting a curious look from Vivi.
" I mean no offense , just curious. I was interested in spy games as a kid , and always wanted to be one." He explained with a bitter smile.
"Oh , it was exciting to say the least." Vivi noted the sad face he made for a second , and decided to lighten the mood by answering the question.
"I had to get into character" she started listing.
"Hmm hmm." Leo responded , urging her to continue.
"And always adapt to the environment and people around me."
"Yes." Leo seemed quite interested in the subject.
"After those were done , we accomplished our main mission. Even though miss All Sunday practically let us do it." She added in a small whisper.
"Well , you were really brave. I saw people that used their wealth to do selfish things. Not caring about their subjects , they saw themselves as high class even though they are the worst scum you could find. So I would say that you are doing pretty good." Vivi looked surprised , her eyes on Leo as he left the kitchen.
'This crew really has strange characters.' She thought. But she couldn't deny the fact that she liked them.
Outside , Leo was talking to Nami about something that came to his mind.
He was explaining his idea to her , and she listened intently.
"It would be easy , considering my sight and speed." He reasoned further , and Nami nodded. It made sense.
"Okay , do your thing." Nami patted Leo's back , who grinned in response.
"Hey Zoro! Let's spar." Leo shouted , jumping down to the deck.
-Five minutes later-
Leo had gotten faster , a lot faster than Zoro estimated. He used a different fighting style too. Silent , with hit and run tactics , he was hard to catch. Zoro barely blocked another high kick by a grinning Leo. I fell behind in training , Zoro thought , dodging a barrage of punches from Leo , who jumped away and disappeared again.
Vivi was watching in the sidelines with wide eyes , he was so fast. The rest of the crew –except Luffy- had went to their regular duties , saying this was normal. She never saw someone as swift and agile as Leo , and by what Nami told her , he could strengthen his punches. This is inhuman , she thought.
Zoro had finally gotten used to Leo's attacks and could actually counter this time. He had a few bruises , while Leo had gotten some cuts over him. His left sleeve was cut open , revealing a crack line going all over his left arm. Maybe a tattoo? Zoro could only guess as he went for another slash towards Leo's side as he threw a high left kick towards Zoro's neck. They both stood still , panting and their strikes inches away from their target.
"So *pant* a draw then?" Leo asked , and lowered his leg when Zoro nodded. They both stood still , and staggered to the showers. "You go , I'll keep it open." Leo said , and Zoro nodded.
After taking their baths , they joined the crew just in time to have dinner. To say it wasn't an all out war against Luffy would be a lie. Zoro slapped his hands away while Nami stabbed them away with her fork. Leo just sat there , eating his meal. He was on the far side of the room while sitting cross legged on the chair. Luffy tried taking his meal away once , and that ended with the deadliest glare from Leo.
Nami made a note after that day to never take his food away , he was scary when you took it away from him.
They all went to sleep , while Leo sat on deck , stargazing. He was always fascinated by what he saw. He sometimes took a walk on the deck and then went with watching their route.
A few hours later , Sanji found him drinking hot chocolate while sitting near Luffy's spot , near the figurehead of the ship. He slowly walked towards their lookout , who sipped his drink.
"Let's switch , you can rest." Sanji said , and Leo nodded. This was regular routine for the two of them , sometimes Leo would join him keeping company. He sometimes took Sanji's turns keeping watch , saying he couldn't sleep. This time , he walked to the men's quarters.
Grand Line must be getting to him too , Sanji thought. Leo tried to keep a hard face , and helped the crew. Looking over the Pose for Nami , helping Sanji in the kitchen and sparring with Zoro. He only got a rest when with his captain , and it was getting to him.
"I need new clothes , Zoro keeps cutting my pairs." Leo muttered grumpily , finishing his chocolate and going in to the kitchen.
"Good night Sanji." Leo called , walking to his bed.
"Good night Leo." Sanji called back , turning back to the Pose to see If they went off course.
They had finally reached Little Garden in the morning. Leo was the first one to get up so he woke the others. When they were nearing a river mouth , Leo walked closer to the edge.
"I want to explore a bit , captain." He said , getting surprised looks from the crew. Luffy nodded , and Leo jumped off the edge towards the island. Landing near the trees , he turned and waved at them before disappearing to the tree line.
"Sanji , prepare a lunchbox!" Luffy exclaimed , jumping up and down with stars floating around him.
"A pirate lunchbox with tons of meat and no vegetables." He demanded with a grin. Sanji sighed , walking to the kitchen.
"Do you mind if I come with you?" Vivi asked , she was curious about the island.
"Not you too." Nami exclaimed , tears running down her face.
"Sure!" Luffy responded with a grin.
"Then I'll make a special lunchbox of love for Vivi-chan." Sanji exclaimed from his spot at the kitchen door. Vivi turned to him.
"Can you make your drink for Carue?"
"Of course , Vivi-chan~" Sanji responded , going inside to get the orders done.
Leo was casually walking through the forest , checking to see if there is anything interesting. He had found a dinosaur , now on a leash next to him.
"I think I'll call you Tommy." Leo shouted over to the dinosaur , who just whimpered in return. Tommy had huge bruises on its hind legs while one of its eyes were closed in pain.
While Leo was looking for something interesting with his pet tyrannosaur , Luffy and Vivi were in another part of the forest.
"Hey look! It's a shell squid." Luffy exclaimed , holding a squid , that was covered in a shell.
"It looks like an ammonite." Vivi said , examining the strange creature.
"They are supposedly extinct for thousands of years." She continued , but Luffy had his attention elsewhere.
"Why is there a Sea King on land?" he asked , getting Vivi's attention.
"T-that's not a Sea King. That's a dinosaur!" she exclaimed , eyes bulging out of their sockets. Luffy grinned and used 'Gomu Gomu Rocket' to latch onto the dinosaurs neck.
"What are your doing? Get down from there!" Vivi shouted , fearing for his safety. But Luffy didn't listen , he climbed up its neck. "The view is amazing from here." He muttered , looking around.
Meanwhile , Usopp and Nami had been left alone in the ship. Zoro and Sanji left on a hunting contest , and Nami was looking for a book of some kind.
Leo had found a giant while riding Tommy –he wanted to see from higher up- , and he was a cool guy. "I'm Leo." He shouted , even though he was riding Tommy the tyrannosaur , the guy was huge.
" You are a weird fella , I'm Dorry." The giant , now named Dorry , responded. Leo huffed ," You calling me weird? That's rude." He muttered , and turned to the giant.
"Do you have anything interesting around here?" he asked , on top of a tyrannosaur , one would think he had found something interesting already. Dorry laughed , this kid was funny.
"There are volcanoes nearby , and huge dinos just eating leaves where I'm heading." He explained , first pointing towards a nearby volcano , then pointing towards the jungle. Leo shrugged.
"Not interested in volcanoes , can I come with you?" he asked , eyes zooming in the giants face to see his reaction. Dorry nodded , walking towards his destination.
At the Going Merry , Usopp and Nami were terrified. They were face to face with an actual giant , he was asking them for something.
"Sorry , what did you say?" Nami asked , tears slowly dripping down her face. Brogy smiled.
"I asked if you had any ale." Brogy repeated , these people were funny. Nami and Usopp took a step back.
"Yes , we do have ale. We mostly use it for cooking , you can have all of them." Nami quickly responded , and Brogy suddenly let out a roar of shock.
Turning around , he found the source of the problem , a t-rex was biting him. He quickly decapitated the animal , turning towards an even more frightened Nami.
Sanji walked down a jungle path , a huge dinosaur of some kind on his shoulder. "This is definitely bigger than what that moss head could ever get."
Said moss head was holding his own dinosaur , muttering something along the same lines. Until they bumped into each other.
"Mine is bigger!" Zoro shouted , bumping heads with the ships cook.
"No , mine is bigger." Sanji shouted back , (and if the author didn't know what they were talking about , this story would be rated M).
This shouting contest went on for a few more minutes , until they decided to catch something to compare again. At that moment , a volcano erupted and Sanji turned towards it.
"The next eruption signals the end of the contest." He declared , and they went their different ways to look for prey.
Half an hour earlier, Dorry and Leo had found Luffy getting eaten by a dinosaur. Both of them jumped to help him , but Dorry was faster as he swiftly cut the dinosaurs head off , releasing the captain in the process.
Said captain fell next to Leo , on top of the tyrannosaur. "Oh hey Leo! What is this? Its so cool!", Luffy exclaimed , moving all around Tommy.
"That's Tommy captain, he is just giving me a ride." Said dinosaur just grumbled in response. "Thanks for saving me!" Luffy added , and Leo shook his head.
"As much as I would like to take the glory , my giant friend helped you , not me." Leo shrugged , pointing at said giant , who was grinning behind them. Luffy turned to Dorry.
"Thanks , are you human?" he asked , getting quite a laugh out of the giant. "You think I am?" Dorry asked , still grinning.
After introducing Vivi and Carue to the giant , Leo and the gang went to his cave. Luffy and Leo were eating dinosaur meat , while Leo also fed Tommy. Luffy had let the giant have a taste of Sanji's cooking.
"This is real good , even though it is small." Dorry complimented the food , and Luffy nodded , a piece of bone sticking out of his mouth.
"Sanji's food is the best , if you said otherwise I would kick your ass." Leo grinned from his spot next to Luffy , Vivi , Carue and Tommy lined up next to him. Dorry laughed even further.
On the other side of the island , a man with a real weird hairstyle was plotting with his partners. They were part of the organization , Baroque Works , and were sent by the boss to eliminate Straw hats. The weird hairstyled man –his hair was shaped in a three- , had some interesting information for his partners.
"The two giants that fight here have 100 million bounties each , which is why I asked Mr 5 to use his abilities to finish their duel." Off in the distance , a huge boom resounded. "It seems like everything is going according to plan." He continued , walking towards the window of his wax made hideout.
His partner , miss Golden week , sipped her tea and nodded to everything he said. The other two figures , the aforementioned Mr 5 and his partner , Miss Valentine were on board with this plan too. They had failed in finishing off the Straw hats and an extra 200 million to appease the boss didn't sound so bad.
After discussing some more with his partners , Mr 3 and the rest left the hideout , to watch the giants fight. A few seconds later , Sanji , who had stumbled upon this place while hunting , got up from his hiding spot. Curious as to what these people were trying to do , he went in to the wax structure.
Leo was watching the two giants fight it out , Dorry had explained his village , Elbaf and the laws they had. He was fighting for 100 years , which Leo was surprised to hear. He nodded to himself in acceptance when Dorry explained that giants had 3 times a humans lifespan.
The fight was spectacular to watch , each strike that got blocked sending a shockwave throughout the island. Everyone present were amazed , and Leo saw the sheer power emanating from the giants. This was awesome , to have this much power at your disposal was frightening and exciting at the same time.
Leo , along with his captain , were left in a daze. "What is it?" Vivi asked the captain, who was lying on the ground.
"They are HUGE!" He exclaimed , and his lookout laughed. "They sure are!" and they both laughed while Vivi just stood there , not saying anything.
The giants exhanged blow after blow , using their shields when their weapons were thrown away.
At their last moments in the fight , they both slammed their shields in each others faces.
"73,466 fights." Brogy said , through gritted teeth.
"73,466 draws." Dorry finished , both of them falling at the same time. After some silence , they both started laughing. Brogy mentioned Usopp and Nami , and how he had some ale to drink.
"Its been a while since I last drank ale , gimme some!" he shouted , laughing.
Dorry had gotten a few barrels of ale from his friend , now sitting in front of Luffy , Leo and Vivi again.
Dorry told them about Usopp and Nami being with his friend , and Luffy laughed.
"So this is your ale then?" Dorry laughed , drinking said ale.
"Yep!" Luffy laughed , sitting with his lookout in front of the giant.
"Does the log really take one year to set?" Leo asked , he had encountered the other giant -Brogy- and heard it from him.
"Haven't you noticed the human bones and skulls around here? Humans can't last a year here , they either become dinosaur meat , give in to the heat or try to kill us." Dorry explained and Leo nodded. He was trying to find a solution about the problem at hand. There probably aren't any Eternal Poses around here , he guessed , eyes accelerating their spinning as he was in deep thought.
"We have an Eternal Pose to Elbaf , you can try and take it if you want." Dorry joked and Luffy shook his head.
"We are just trying to get to the next island." He explained , and Dorry laughed.
"Maybe you can try and sail without it , take our chances." Dorry reasoned , and Luffy laughed.
"We just might." He replied , laughing with the giant. Vivi was in an inner turmoil right next to Leo. How can they be so carefree about this , she thought , eyeing the rubber captain.
Suddenly Leo's eyes widened , he could feel something about to happen.
Then , it happened.
Something exploded , but it wasn't the volcano. Leo quickly looked up at the giant in worry , eyes fully active ,now with six lenses spinning in front of his eyes.
The barrel had exploded inside of the giant.
Don't worry , Tommy will be back. Thanks for reading!
