"Ah. The village. Finally." Luffy said, as we continued trudging up the mountain.

"Mahahahaha!" Yelled an annoying sounding voice. A giant mouth appeared out from under the snow.

"Straw Hat Pirates! Welcome!" Wapol yelled, jumping out from under the snow.

"You…! ...Who are you again?" Luffy asked.

"Fool! How could you forget this face?! I am the great Wapol! The true king of Drum Kingdom!"

"...Who?" we all asked.

"Oh, right...That kind of rings a bell…" Sanji muttered, scratching his head.

"It does…?" Zoro asked.

"Excuse me everyone! But I think I remember him!" Brook announced.

"What are you prattling on about?! I don't even know you! We've never met once!" Wapol yelled at him.

"Oh dear me, really? Yohohohohoho!"

"So what'll it be? I have no qualms about sending the likes of you to an early grave." Nami said.

"Grrr…! Hold your tongue!"

"Be warned Wapol! I'm far stronger than I was when we last met…!" Chopper yelled.

"I got this, Chopper." Luffy said. "Second Gear! Gum Gum Eagle Bazooka!" He yelled, hardening his arms and sending Wapol flying into the sky with his attack. Luffy clapped his hands and dusted himself off.

"Alright. Well, let's keep going." We continued on.

"Fools! I have more than a few tricks up my sleeve!" Wapol bellowed from the top of the mountain. We looked up.

"Oh, he's still alive." Usopp stared with half-lidded eyes. All of a sudden, explosives planted on the mountain began to detonate, causing an avalanche to speed downhill towards us. Wapol stood there with his gun arm and kept firing at us.

"Mahahahaha!"

"Avalanche!" Usopp screamed.

"Luffy!" Sanji yelled.

"Right!"

'Ugh...Now I remember...Two years of absolute hell...Be it by hand...or by leg...I will protect them this time!' Sanji's leg became surrounded in flames.

"Luffy! I'll launch you in there! I'm counting on you! Hell Memories Gum Shoot!" He shouted, sending Luffy flying into the snow.

"Gum Gum Red Hawk!" The fire from the two attacks went right through the avalanche and dispersed it. Luffy jumped back down to where we all were.

"Because I had to go through those two years of hell...This time will be different!"

"Up above, huh? Hold on, everyone!" Luffy yelled. "Gum Gum Balloon!" He inflated himself to a giant ball and everyone got on.

"Um...we'll pass." Christina and I said in unison. I used my wind to make the two of us fly up with Luffy while he launched himself towards the top of the mountain.

"He must be here somewhere. Wapol! This time I'm gonna finish you once and for all!" Chopper announced.

"Where is he?" I looked around.

"Mahahahaha! This is your last chance to apologize!" Wapol yelled, standing in front of the castle. "If you do not, I will unleash moves so fierce that they'll have you shivering and shrieking in agony! Do you have any idea what I just ate?"

"! There!"

"Huh? What are you halfwits looking at?!" He looked behind himself. "Y-Y-You! You once destroyed my kingdom!"

"Zehahahaha! If I recall correctly, you tucked tail and ran! Some king you are!"

"O-Okay! It doesn't matter who! Whoever gets me out of this mess will be handsomely rewarded! Hell, you can even help yourself to half of my kingdom!"

"You're as despicable as ever...Thinking of nothing but yourself…" Chopper muttered. "Monster Point. Scratching Hoof: Palm Tree!" He knocked Wapol into the sky and far away, making him turn back into a leaf.

"You sure made short work of him, Straw Hat!"

"Ah…!"

"Did you know that I was watching from the shadows back then as well? So deeply moving. An older brother giving his life for his younger! I could almost cry! ZEHAHAHAHA!"

"Why you…!" Nami yelled.

"Nami!" Luffy held his arm out in front of her.

"Why the long face?! From the start, it was his destiny to die and your destiny to live on. That's all there is to it. It wasn't your fault! ...Or was it?" He grinned maliciously.

"...I've got nothing to say to you." Luffy muttered.

"Well I do." I said. I teleported in front of Blackbeard.

"Huh?!"

"SHUT THE HELL UP!" I activated Phase 2 of Demon Mode and smashed my fist into his face, sending him flying through the castle.

"Aaron!" Nami yelled. However, Blackbeard formed in front of us again out of darkness.

"I see...I was just trying to show a bit of courtesy the only way I know how. It matters little to me, Straw Hat! If death is your wish, I'll be more than happy to lay you at your brother's side!" He yelled, forming darkness on one hand and a white sphere on the other.

"There's a drawback to his devil fruit, Luffy. In exchange for nullifying devil fruit powers, he takes more damage than usual. He also isn't able to become fluid like a normal logia eater. So this one's simple. We just need to hit him hard enough and fast enough."

"Perfect." He grinned, smacking his fists together. "I'll hit him faster than he can imagine. Fifth Gear! He yelled, becoming engulfed in golden aura.

"What's this? A new power?" Blackbeard asked.

"I guess you could say that. Gum Gum Golden Pistol!" He yelled, teleporting in front of Blackbeard and firing a punch into his stomach faster than the eye could see.

"G-Gwah…!" He was sent flying backwards and hit the front gate of the castle. Luffy sped towards him again, but this time Teach saw through Luffy's attack. He grabbed his arms, nullifying his powers. He then smashed his tremor-powered fist into his chest.

"Severe Earthquake!" Luffy was sent flying back, and he coughed up blood when Zoro caught him.

"Luffy! Are you alright?!" Nami asked.

"Y-Yeah...I'll be okay…"

"If your power is darkness, then maybe I should shine some light on it. Moonlight Pillar!" Christina shouted, creating a pillar of white light that crashed down on Blackbeard, causing him to fall to the ground.

"I'll defeat you with Ace's power…!" Luffy said, standing up slowly and panting. "Gum Gum...Red Hawk!" He yelled, rushing towards Blackbeard and smashing his fist through Blackbeard's chest. A large explosion of fire burst through him, and when Luffy pulled his fist out, there was a hole going all the way through him.

Nami ran over to Luffy so he could lean on her. Pato looked up at the top of the castle, noticing Redfield looking down nonchalantly, then disappearing.

"Boss…!"

"..."

"Hey...Would you mind if I joined you? I've thought it through...Even now, I want nothing more than to serve my boss...But as long as my second self gets the job done, I guess it's almost the same thing...Nukiki! That's why I want to join you guys…"

"...Well, we don't want you." Luffy proclaimed.

"What?! But why not?! Didn't you say it was up to me to decide?!"

"...We don't want you."

"Wait a second! Luffy…?!" Nami asked, worried.

"Give it a rest...He's made up his mind." Sanji said.

"Besides, one raccoon's enough." Zoro added.

"I'm not a raccoon!" Chopper yelled. 'What's with you, Luffy? When it was me, you kept hounding me no matter how much I refused…'

"..."

"Don't worry! If you really want to be one of us, Luffy will eventually let you join." Chopper said.

"If I really want to be one of you, you say…? It's just...why not now? He was fine before about letting me join…Is he still mad about me tricking you?"

"No. He's clearly over that." I said, walking by and following Luffy.

"Huh?" He looked up at me.

"Rethink your reasons, Pato. To Luffy, they're not genuine. That's all." I said, continuing to walk.

"...Hey...Why are you named Pato, anyway?"

"...My boss gave me this name. I have no idea what it means, though…"

"I see...It has a nice ring to it. My name came from the doctor responsible for those cherry blossoms.

Back at the Inn…

"What do you think Red meant when he said he had 'unfinished business' to attend to on this island?" Robin asked.

"Now that you mention it, he did say that, didn't he?" Franky asked.

"We've spent all of our time chasing him, but we might be able to beat him to the punch if we knew his motives…"

"He's supposed to be after a certain devil fruit." I said.

"Huh? Really? Which one?" Luffy asked.

"I don't know. So other than that, I've got nothing."

"It's true. My boss is after a devil fruit." Pato said.

"We're grateful to learn even that much...But are you really allowed to tell us that?" Brook asked.

"Well, if you thought that I really wanted to join you, you'd eventually let me join, right? I just thought that Luffy might have a change of heart if I proved myself useful..."

"..."

"But we don't have any idea as to where to search for this fruit he's after…"

"Why not just let him have it, and see where it leads?" Zoro smirked.

"You just want to fight him after he's made himself stronger!" Usopp yelled.

"If we assume that he's the only one who knows of this fruit, it might be in our best interest to continue chasing him as we have been…" Robin mentioned.

"I agree. These islands he's creating are the best chance we have of catching up to him at this point. If we wait for him here, he may just find the fruit and leave without us ever knowing." I said.

"Then it's decided! We're going after him!" Luffy shouted.

X

"The Sky Islands!" Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp all yelled, bouncing around on the clouds.

"The clouds are so fluffy!" Chopper said, sleeping on one.

"Ahh! What a wonderful feeling! ...Do you think I died and went to heaven without knowing it?!"

"You're already dead…" Franky mumbled.

"Oh, you're right! YOHOHOHO!"

"Hey! So all of us ended up here after chasing Red?" Nami asked. "Do you know what that means?"

"Oh hey, Nami. Have you been up here long?" Luffy asked.

"We sure have. Feels great to be up in the clouds. It's been way too long!" Usopp cheered.

"It's been way too short if you ask me...I never wanted to come back to this place." I muttered.

"We have to assume that he created this terrain to buy himself some time…" Robin said.

"You're right! He's trying to slow us down! We have to keep moving!"

"Do we have to?" I complained. "I'm not looking forward to seeing Eneru again…"

"Eneru's here?" Luffy asked.

"Luffy, it's Skypiea. Who else would be here?" Nami sighed, exasperated.

"Whatever. Let's just get this over with." I said, walking further into the island.

X

"Yahahaha! You've come at last, Straw Hat!" Eneru bellowed, standing on top of a tree once we made it to the jungle. "This time I will obtain the Golden Belfry and make my way to the Fairy Vearth!"

"The Golden Belfry exists in this time and place as well? I'll never let it fall into your hands, Eneru!" Luffy yelled back up at him. He zapped away with a bolt of lightning.

"Wait a second! Weren't Eneru and the bell just created by Red with the help of the leaves?" Nami asked.

"Even if they are both fakes, do you really expect us to watch in silence as he runs off with the bell?" Zoro asked.

"Don't you guys get it?! That's how Red wants you to respond!" She yelled.

"Even though we know that the bell and Eneru are fabrications meant to buy your boss more time…" Robin muttered. "We'll never get anywhere if we don't abide by our captain's wishes."

"Umm, I'm not so sure that he knows they're fake…" Usopp said.

"Is becoming our ally what you really want to do?" Robin asked Pato.

"What I...What I really want…?"

"Well, in any case, we should get going. Nami, standing around won't get us anywhere. We know that they're only fakes, but wouldn't you rather fight them with the chance of catching Red's attention and stopping him?" I asked.

"Well, I…"

"Exactly."

"Come on, Nami! It'll be fun!" Luffy encouraged.

*sigh* "Fine."

"Great!" Luffy picked her up and started running through the jungle.

"LUFFY! SLOW DOWN!" I heard her scream.

X

"You'll never get that bell!" Luffy yelled as we ran to the final part of the island. Eneru looked at us and grinned.

"I'm going to start with everything I've got! Max 200 Volt Amaru!" He yelled, transforming into his Raijin form and creating lightning that ruptured through the ground towards us, shattering it.

"Fall Blue Sea People! Fall!" He yelled as we fell down the hole.

"We are!" I yelled back at him. I jumped off of one of the pieces of rubble and jumped towards Eneru, punching him in the face with a hardened earth fist, causing him to be thrown back a bit.

"Third Gear! Gum Gum Elephant Gatling!"

"Grahh! El Thor!" He screamed, creating a column of lightning.

"Dodge it!" I yelled to Luffy, who did.

"Let's see who's electricity is stronger!" Luffy yelled. "Nami!"

"Got it! Thunderbolt Tempo!" He yelled, electrifying Luffy. Luffy carried her up and he activated Fifth Gear.

"Gum Gum Golden Lightning Hawk!" They yelled together, piercing through Eneru.

"RAHHH! I cannot be defeated! I am a god!"

"Gear Third! Armament! Gum Gum Elephant Gun!" He yelled, smashing his fist into Eneru and defeating him once and for all. He was sent sailing straight into the bell, just like the last time.

"Well good for us, but we're still falling!" Nami screamed.

X

"If not for the clouds below us, I might have died…" Brook said. "If I weren't already dead, that is! Yohohoho!"

"Huh? There!" Luffy yelled, looking down to some ruins where Red walked out.

"Boss…!"

"It wasn't here either…How about it Nico Robin? How would you like to help me look for that fruit?"

"I assure you that your assistance won't go unrewarded." He smirked.

Sanji threw himself towards Red.

"She'll never fall for your hollow promises!"

"Mil Fleur! Gigantesco Mano!" A giant hand appeared and smacked Sanji again.

"Sanji!" Nami yelled.

"Could it be…?!" Usopp asked. When the hand disappeared, Robin stood at Red's side.

"Robin?!" Nami yelled.

"No, that's not me! It's my-!" Robin said.

"Ah. How could I forget? You already work for me. Guess my memory's going with age…Well then, Nico Robin. We best be on our way."

"Yes." she smiled and followed him.

X

"Damn that old man! He ran off with my Robin!" Sanji yelled.

"I'd hardly call her 'your Robin'..." Usopp muttered.

"Shut up! Fake or not, I have to rescue her! Ahhhhhh!" He started running out of the inn before Luffy smashed his fist into his head, knocking him out.

"Now that he's got his own Robin, we have no chance of finding that fruit before he does…"

"Well, we can still count on Luffy's animal instincts at least!" Chopper said.

"I smell food! Innkeeper! Is it time to eat yet?!" Luffy shouted excitedly.

"I only just started preparing it...That's quite a nose you've got on you."

"Ah! It's no use! He's focused on something else!"

"This sounds like a job for my Super Radar!" Franky yelled.

"Radar?!" Chopper said.

"To start, please insert the object you want to find into the transmitter…" he said in a robot voice.

"Some help that is!"

"At any rate, we can count ourselves lucky if mine is the only copy working with Red…"

X

"Luffy, there's another island!" Pato told him.

"How do you know?"

"My abilities are linked to that of my copy. I can tell when there are new islands being created."

"Well then, let's take off!" We all ran out of town to go to the next island. Soon enough, the landscape changed again and we found ourselves surrounded by a lush, green, and peaceful village.

"...Now where are we? Anybody remember this place?" Usopp asked.

"Anybody?" Brook asked.

"I've got nothing…" Franky said.

"This place…!" Luffy and I exclaimed together.

"What is it, you two? Do you know where we are?" Nami asked.

"Of course I do! This is where I was raised!"

"Fushia Village…" I said.

"Where you were raised?" They all asked as we walked through the village and into the forest.

"Yeah! This is where I grew up! Grandpa raised all three of us."

"You've been here before then?" Nami asked me.

"Yeah, when I was dropping Luffy off with Garp. Dragon and Amaryllis did say that it was too dangerous for a baby to be part of the Revolutionary Army. And with a then 1.5 billion beri bounty on him, Dragon was the most wanted criminal in the world." We continued walking into the forest before coming to the foot of a mountain.

"Luffy, do you know anything about this mountain?" Nami asked him.

"Yeah. This is Mount Corvo. The place where Ace, Sabo and I first met."

"Ace? Sabo?" Pato asked.

"Luffy's older brothers." Chopper told him. "Two years ago...ah, never mind…"

"Alright! Let's climb to the top!" Luffy said. We all followed him. Along the way we met a bunch of wild wolves.

"What an environment to grow up in, hehe." Robin chuckled.

"Can't help but grow strong in a place like this." Usopp added.

"Yeah." Luffy said, knocking a wolf out of the way. "And considering that Gramps would always throw me into here at night to become stronger…hahaha!" Luffy laughed.

"Now I'm kind of glad that I didn't grow up the way you did…" Nami said.

"Why would it make a difference? I thought you were out collecting treasure for your village most of the time anyway?" Luffy asked.

"Well, I was. But still, even if it was dangerous, it's not like I was constantly fighting off savage wolves, bears, and gorillas as a child."

"It's just like Usopp said. You end up growing strong in a place like this. You would be too. You'd learn how to survive."

"Hmph." she looked the other way.

"Besides Nami, you ended up being super strong anyway, even without this environment. You have all 3 types of haki, which only 4 of us have."

"Luffy, what's this place?" asked Zoro.

"Dadan's house. It's been ages."

"Dadan?" Chopper asked.

"She was a good-natured bandit. Gramps left us with her when we were kids. I wonder how they're all doing…" As we kept walking, we arrived at a clearing where there was a bridge that crossed over the gorge.

"Ace used to push me from this bridge sometimes. Back then, I got in all sorts of trouble. I even came close to being killed by a wolf. Shishishi!"

"That's no laughing matter!"Nami yelled at him. "That's why I said that I didn't want to grow up with you three terrors! But if that's the kind of relationship that you three shared…"

"I'm starving! Luffy interrupted.

"We could go hunt a bear or something…" Zoro suggested.

"Shishishi! Let's do it! Big game equals big meat!"

"There's a bear over there." I pointed further up the mountain.

"Yahoo! I love bear meat!"

"I'll leave the ingredients to you…" Sanji sighed.

"That settles it then! Bear stew tonight!" After taking care of the bears, some gorillas started coming towards us.

"Whoa, that's a gorilla we're up against! Just what kind of mountain is this?!" Sanji yelled.

"Luffy, how many more animals are there?!" yelled Usopp.

"Dunno...since these are made by Red, there could be a never-ending amount of them…" he said, thinking.

"Well, I'm sick of fighting them!" Nami yelled, walking forward and blasting Conqueror's haki through the area, knocking all of the animals out.

"There." she sighed annoyed, placing her hand on her hip. "Now we have a clear path up the rest of the mountain.

"That's my Nami." Luffy smiled, wrapping his arms around her.

"Yeah, yeah. I love you too, Luffy." she kissed his cheek. We continued walking up the mountain until coming out into a clearing at the top. There was a big treehouse at the back, and a tree stump over on the side with three small red sake cups.

"And this place…?" Nami asked.

"This is where we became brothers."

"The sake cups of brothers…" Zoro said.

"I've been waiting for you, Luffy." said a familiar voice. We looked up to see Ace standing on the top of the treehouse.

"Tch! Damn it all…!" Sanji cursed. "I should have known it'd come to this!"

"We have no choice but to fight, right…?" Nami asked.

"Right…" Ace said.

"Stand down, Luffy." Nami said, readying her clima-tact.

"No, I'll handle it." Luffy said, walking forward.

"But…" she said softly.

"He said he'll handle it…" Zoro said. "Let him." Ace jumped down and faced Luffy.

"That is not Ace…" Luffy said.

Luffy, let's do this!" Ace said, flames swirling around his arm.

"Fire Fist!" he yelled, firing a blast of flames towards Luffy, who dodged.

"Gum Gum Hawk Pistol!" Luffy yelled, hardening his fist and smashing it into Ace's stomach.

"Ggh...you know Armament too, huh? I guess I shouldn't have expected anything less from you…"

"Hmph. Second Gear! Gum Gum Jet Hawk Gatling!" he yelled, unleashing a flurry of fists that devastated Ace.

"Dai Enkai: Entei!" he yelled, swirling flames around on the ground, and jumping into the air, creating a massive fireball.

"RAHHH!" he shouted, throwing the ball down towards Luffy, who pulled his hat over his eyes.

"Fifth Gear. Gum Gum Golden Eagle Bazooka." he said, hardening his arms and pulling them back. He jumped towards the fireball and shot right through it, dispersing it and flying towards Ace. He launched his hands forward and smashed them into Ace, sending him flying. He hit the back of the tree and slid down to the ground.

"It doesn't look like old man Red is here anymore…" Luffy said.

"I'm not really sure what's going on…" Pato said. "Isn't this person important to Luffy? If so, why is Luffy fighting him so hard…?"

"It's because he's so important…" Nami told him. "He fights hard, because that guy really means a lot to him."

"He fights someone...Because they're so important to him?"

"Never mind Luffy's problems, what about yours?" Sanji asked. "How does it feel to be replaced as your boss's right-hand raccoon?"

"My boss's right-hand raccoon…? You…! You don't know him! You have no right to say that…!"

"You're right, we don't." Luffy said. "You're the only one among us who does." He continued walking past him.

"..."

"Pato! If you don't catch up soon, you're getting left behind!" Chopper called.

"Wait up! I'm coming!" We started walking down the mountain again.

"At least this time we don't have to deal with any wild animals. Nami took care of them all." Luffy sighed.

"You're welcome." she said.

X

We finally reached the bottom of the mountain and got back to the village, but when we tried to go back to Transtown, we couldn't.

"Huh? I can't get past. There's like, an invisible wall here!" Luffy said.

"What? That's impossible. 36 Pound Phoenix!" Zoro said, drawing one of his swords and using his flying slash attack.

"My attack went through fine…" He walked up and pressed his hand against an invisible barrier. "What is this?"

"It's a special kind of barrier that my boss can use. It only disappears after we finish everything we needed to do here. Which means that there's still something left to do." Pato said.

"Well, what is there? We already took care of Ace." Usopp said.

"Well, did you take care of me?!" another voice yelled. We all turned and looked towards the village to see someone standing in the middle of the clearing, in front of the windmill.

"Ah! Sabo!" Luffy said. Sabo grinned and brought his pipe over his shoulder.

"Heya Luffy. You still have to go through me if you want to go back."

"Grrr...fine! Gum Gum Red Hawk!" Luffy yelled, running towards him with a hardened fist and flames around it. However, Sabo simply caught the attack.

"Wha-?!"

"That won't work on me. I've been trained by Dragon and Aaron, Luffy. I'm stronger than Ace. In fact, I'm stronger than all of the others that you've faced so far. Most of them couldn't use haki, could they? But I can. This fight's not going to go as smoothly as you might think." Sabo formed his dragon's claw on his hand and hardened it with haki. He slammed it into Luffy's stomach and ignited it.

"Burning Dragon Claw Fist: Fire Flame Dragon King!" he yelled, unleashing a swirling flame and powerful impact from his attack, sending Luffy flying backwards.

"Hrghh...Yeah...This will be harder to work with. Then how about this? Fifth Gear! Gum Gum Golden Pistol!" Luffy yelled, becoming cloaked in golden aura and teleporting in front of Sabo.

"Wh-What-?!" Before Sabo could do anything, Luffy's fist slammed into Sabo's stomach, which sent him back. Sabo recovered by sliding back on his hand. He and Luffy rushed at each other, exchanging haki-enhanced blows. Each hit landed, and they were taking a lot of damage.

"Fourth Gear: Gum Gum Golden King Kong Gun!" Luffy yelled.

"Blue Fire: Fire Fist!" Sabo said, increasing the temperature of his fire, turning it blue. He launched the blue flames towards Luffy in a huge burst, while Luffy threw his most powerful single-shot attack combined with Fifth Gear towards Sabo. The two attacks clashed, and were equal for a time, but Luffy then charged up his other fist and unleashed a fury of attacks.

"Gum Gum Golden King Kong Gatling!" he yelled, now dominating Sabo's attack and defeating him once and for all.

"W-Well done...Luffy…" Sabo smiled before turning back into a leaf.

"Thank you...Sabo…" Luffy said before walking back to the others.

"The barrier's gone…" said Pato.

"Ah, good. Then let's head back." Luffy said, heading back to the inn, the rest of us following behind him.

End.
