Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or One Piece.
A/N: OK as the site was done due to a power failure not too long ago that also messed with the reviews and the email alerts, I decided to wait for that to be fixed by writing ahead then noticed I had a Ch for all but two stories so decided on doing all as one large update.
Also, I'll be having some rain go by for the week so also sped through USM, RWBY, and Young Justice stories so apologies for the quality mainly on those as they were the last ones I worked on, and was running on empty, and speeding through to get them up in case power/internet goes out.

Chapter LV.
Last Time.
The others then left as the two watched the fight.
"Gomu Gomu no... Reddo Hōku! (Gum Gum Red Hawk!)" Naruto looked to see Luffy hit Doflamingo with his flaming fist. "Gia Sādo! (Gear Third!)" Luffy inflated both his arms before attacking. "Gomu Gomu no Gurizurī Magunam! (Grizzly Magnum!)"
Doflamingo dodged and kneed Luffy in the face before landing on a string. "So you don't wanna let Law's attack go to waste, huh?" He asked looking down. "How long will it take you... To take me down? By a one-hour time limit, I mean... The Torikago (Birdcage) will take that long to completely collapse."
"I'm sure there are people who have a leg problem. There are also bedridden old people and babies at the breast. Who will fall victim first? After 30 minutes, people start dying somewhere. After 40 minutes, we'll hear screams here. After 50 minutes, the country will be covered in red as if tomatoes have been crushed."
"After an hour, there'll be no voice whatsoever. I know what will happen to Dressrosa is none of your concern but... People who are going to die will hold a grudge against you guys. If only you guys hadn't come here, Dressrosa could have been peaceful!"
"Cut the crap! it was only on the surface!" Luffy yelled up with a glare.
"You see unlucky people everywhere in the world. If you try and save them all, there's no end. You're just a passionate pirate. Are you trying to be a hero? How dare you get in my way!" Doflamingo yelled down at Luffy who just glared.
"No! You got in my way! You made my nakamas (Friends) cry, you made my crewmates mad! But you still haven't fallen So I will take it upon myself! I won't let anyone die! You and the Torikago (Birdcage) are standing in my way!" Luffy said before bringing his arm to his mouth, coating it in Haki, and bit into it.
"Gia Fōsu! (Gear Fourth!)"
Now.
Luffy Vs. Doflamingo.
Naruto sat beside Cavendish, and Law, whose arm was reattached by Leo and Mansherry's healing power, and looked at the palace. Cavendish went on to talk about how the Straw Hats and Law's crew would be the talk of the world after this one.
"He's using it," Naruto said seeing steam coming off what looked like a black arm.
Inside, Luffy, who was still biting his arm, looked at Doflamingo. "To beat your ass, I'll get stronger! It's neither second... Nor third!" Luffy kicked off his sandals, took a deep breath, and bit his arm again. It suddenly grew several sizes like it was going in Gia Sādo. (Gear Third.)
"Kin'niku Fūsen! (Muscle Balloon!)"
Luffy's proportions become warped and his body becomes much larger, with his arms, upper torso, and legs coated in Busoshoku Haki. (Armament Haki.) The coating across his torso resembles the wispy ends made from flames, giving it the appearance of tattoos, and he gained shading around the inner and outer edges of his eyes.
He's also taller, standing around 3 meters tall. Similar to when using Gia Sekando (Gear Second), Luffy is emitting steam. Luffy instead of standing still, is bouncing on the spot.
"Gia Fōsu~~~~~~~: Baundoman! (Gear Fourth: Bounce Man!)"
"Whoa-whoa, is this some sort of joke?!" Doflamingo asked with a chuckle looking at Luffy's new form. "You got quite big... Look at that inflated body of yours! I thought you had a secret stratagem or something... Can't you be more serious?!"
"This is my secret stratagem and I am serious!" Luffy yelled as he continued bouncing.
"You can't even stand straight since you're bouncy because you're rubber. How can you kick my ass like that?" Doflamingo asked the bouncing pirate.
"For two years, I fought against monstrously big savage beasts!" Luffy said remembering his training and fighting against the large animals. "To wrestle them to the ground... I needed this giant body and bounciness!"
"How would bounciness help you...?" Doflamingo trailed off as Luffy's hand seemed to be compressing into his arm making it look like the barrel of a cannon.
"Urusai! (Shut Up!) You won't... Be able to do anything!" Luffy said before dashing to Doflamingo using a bounce, his feet compressing into his legs.
"Gomu Gomu no Kongu Gan! (Gum Gum Kong Gun!)" Luffy unleashes a devastating short-range punch that has enough strength to break through Doflamingo's Haki-enhanced defense and hurl the Shichibukai (Warlord) from the Palace to the middle of the city.
Luffy jumped towards Doflamingo who got up and threw a red string at him. "Ōbāhīto! (Overheat!)"
Luffy dodged it and continued towards Doflamingo before appearing behind him. "Gomu Gomu no Rino Shunaidā! (Gum Gum Rhino Scheider!)"
With both compressed legs, Luffy delivers a double-flying kick to Doflamingo's face. It sent the Shichibukai (Warlord.) crashing through dozens of buildings and across the town center. Luffy followed by bouncing over to him. Luffy kicked the air and flew over to Doflamingo who was by Pica's statue and flew to him as well. Doflamingo threw several strings at Luffy who pushed his palm out, breaking them.
"Goshikīto! (Pentachromatic Strings!)" They clashed attacks several times before Doflamingo shot a string bullet at Luffy who dodged and appeared before Doflamingo.
"I told you! You're no match for me in Gia Fōsu! (Gear Fourth!) Here I come, Mingo! Prepare yourself!" Luffy yelled getting Doflamingo to frown and coat his limbs in Haki.
They each hit each other's fists, having Luffy push Doflamingo back, and have him shake his hand. They each attacked each other with several punches and kicks before Luffy kicked the air, and speared Doflamingo.
Doflamingo used both hands together to punch Luffy who just head-butted him in the chin. As Doflamingo flew higher, Luffy compressed his left fist into his arm. "Gomu Gomu no Karuvarin! (Gum Gum Culverin!)" Luffy delivers a punch, but Doflamingo dodges it.
"Asurīto! (Athlete!)" Doflamingo kicked Luffy in his ribs, only for his side to compress slightly. 'Armored but still rubbery?!'
"A crappy attack like that... Won't work!" Luffy throws out his arm and pushes Doflamingo back. Luffy suddenly redirected his punch several times. Without losing its momentum, it followed after Doflamingo. "Go, Paison! (Python!)" Luffy yelled at his stretched arm that moved around several times before Doflamingo threw Ōbāhīto (Overheat) at it.
"Gomu Gomu no Karuvarin! (Gum Gum Culverin!)" Luffy punched through the heated string and hit Doflamingo with tremendous force, sending him crashing through another dozen buildings.
Franky.
Franky ran in as the strings got to the factory, missing it just pushed the building instead of cutting through it. He called for the Dwarves. The factory started to tip as they got out.
"It's tilting!"
Franky explained the walls were coated with Kairōseki (Sea Prism Stone) just as Zoro, Kin'emon, and Kanjuro dropped by them and explained they were going to buy Luffy time by stopping the strings.
Luffy Vs. Doflamingo.
Luffy panted as he stayed in the air before dashing towards Doflamingo.
"You're using your ability pretty well. But it must be quite the burden..." Doflamingo said as he stood up. "But there must be some risks. Straw Hat, how many more seconds can you stand?" He said as he put his hand on the ground, having it turn to string.
"Gomu Gomu no Daburu Karuvarin! (Gum Gum Double Culverin!)" Luffy pulls back his arms before throwing them at Doflamingo.
"Ofu Howaito! (Off White!)" Doflamingo creates two large masses of strings from the ground near him before swiping at Luffy. "Listen Fledgling! Devil Fruit abilities have... Yet another stage to them called 'Kakusei! (Awakening)'!" He explained having the area around him turn to string. "Very rarely, an ability will "awaken", and begin to affect things other than the user's own body!"
He attacked Luffy with the strings, forcing Luffy to dodge. Every step Doflamingo took towards Luffy had the ground turn to string and return to normal. He attacked Luffy to get him to wear out on his new form, while he chuckled. He fixed the damage Luffy gave him while strings wrapped around Luffy who pushed them off. "It won't work!" Luffy yelled before looking down.
"Damn. The strings get in the way and I can't get close! I gotta hurry!" Luffy flew to Doflamingo who brought String after him. Luffy punched the strings away before dodging columns that tried wrapping around him.
"Bureiku Howaito! (Break White!)" Luffy bounced around as Doflamingo created more strings from buildings and sent them at Luffy. "Birō Howaito! (Break White!)"
"Mingo! Get blown away!" Luffy shouted covering his head in Haki and compressed it into his body.
And shot it at Doflamingo's chest having him fly back, he caught Luffy's arms with string from his hands and threw Luffy back as well.
Luffy dashed to Doflamingo and blocked more strings as he continued. He compressed both fists and dodged strings before going to Doflamingo who was holding his stomach. Luffy appeared right in front of Doflamingo and attacked.
"Gomu Gomu no Reo Bazūka! (Gum Gum Leo Bazooka!)" Luffy 'fires' his arms at Doflamingo with a double open-palm strike. And sent him flying over Dressrosa and caused him to create an enormous crater when he slammed into the side of the King's Plateau.
The people cheered thinking Doflamingo was beaten as Luffy bounced on the ground near them. And saw the strings for Torikago (Birdcage) were still moving. Luffy got ready for another strike, only to go back to normal, panting hard.
Up with Naruto, he saw Burgess drop down towards where Luffy fell before cursing and saw Sabo fly towards him. Suddenly, Doflamingo came out of the crater as the people helped get Luffy away before the Colosseum announcer carried him.
"It'll take Luffy ten minutes to get his Haki and strength back!" Naruto yelled out before flying up.
Doflamingo dashed to Luffy who was being carried. Only for Naruto to get in his way. "I'm your opponent for the next ten minutes."
Naruto quickly dodged strings as Doflamingo glared at him before Naruto appeared behind him and kicked him. Doflamingo blocked the kick and shot strings at Naruto who jumped out of the way, and into a gold fluff ball that instantly rejuvenated him.
He flew high in the air to dodge another strike and saw Bartolomeo create a barrier for the people near him and Robin to try and push against the strings before glancing to see people going to the factory to push against the building, or against the strings for the fighters and Marines who can use Haki. Naruto dashed down and traded punches and kicks with Doflamingo and dodged a string attack.
'Two minutes to go!' Naruto thought before getting hit with a large column of string. He jumped back by jumping in the air. He glanced over to see Law land in front of Luffy before skidding as he landed on the ground by Viola and Rebecca.
Doflamingo appeared in front of Viola and tried to kick her. Only for Naruto to block with a gold chakra-infused arm. Naruto smirked as he noticed the Torikago (Birdcage) stopped for a moment before pushing Doflamingo back.
Naruto dashed to Viola and Rebecca and stopped a string from attaching to the back of their necks. Naruto glared at Doflamingo before hearing the Colosseum announcer talk about Luffy who's almost ready to fight again.
"Ten seconds to go," Naruto said before dodging another attack, grabbing each woman, flipping Doflamingo off, and disappearing just as Luffy appeared in front of Doflamingo.
"What a flashy comeback. But you just now got your Haki back. You're barely able to stand, are you?" Doflamingo asked the panting Luffy who just stared at him.
"I know... You're in the same boat!" Luffy said before being hit by several string whips.
"Ebā Howaito! (Ever White!)" Doflamingo kneels and touches the ground with his hands before turning a vast amount of the surrounding area into string. Several strings attached to Luffy who cursed.
"Furappu Sureddo! (Flap Thread!)" Doflamingo condenses the vast amount of string into countless points before sending them at Luffy in the formation of two wings.
Luffy added Haki to the parts of his body that got attacked before getting pierced in the chest. "What's the matter? I thought you made your comeback." Doflamingo said with a grin before attacking with the strings again. "Did you regain your Haki, Lucy?" He asked before sending Luffy flying to the plateau in the same spot he was sent in.
He then sent the strings to Luffy again, creating a large dust cloud. Doflamingo used his strings to move Luffy's body over to him as Luffy remembered talking with Rayleigh during his training. He then forced his arm up and bit it again.
He went into his Baundoman (Bounce Man) form and glared at Doflamingo as he broke his strings. "Gia Fōsu! (Gear Fourth!)"
"You only have a little strength left. How long can you stay in that form?" Doflamingo said as steam erupted from the bouncing Luffy.
Luffy just jumped up in the air and had Doflamingo follow him. "Mingo!" Luffy yelled as Doflamingo caught up. "You always try to strangle everything in your hands... And try to manipulate everybody! It makes me feel like I'm suffocating!"
"Blame your birthright! You all, who were born as trash, are only fit to be manipulated!" Doflamingo yelled back at Luffy with a grin. "You humans and I are different!"
"Urusai! (Shut Up!)" Luffy said bringing his fist back in his arm. "I'll kick your ass and get out of here!"
"Do your worst Gaki! (Brat!) Kumo no Sugaki! (Spider's Web!)" Doflamingo yelled creating a spider web from his strings.
"Gomu Gomu no..." After Luffy compresses his fist, he blows a large amount of air into his arm, drastically increasing its size.
"Goddo Sureddo! (Divine Execution!)" Doflamingo summons sixteen thick strings which he sends at Luffy in a piercing formation.
"Kingu Kongu Gan! (Gum Gum King Kong Gun!)" Luffy then unleashes his attack on the threads with a devastating blow. It broke through the Shichibukai (Warlord) Spider's Web and Divine Thread techniques simultaneously.
Luffy's punch still maintained enough momentum to send Doflamingo flying into the city below with enough force to completely level the town and cause the ground to fold in on itself.
Naruto dashed over to catch Luffy who returned to normal before coming back to a building with Law, Viola, and Rebecca before dropping him on the ground.
The Marines arrested all the beaten Donquixote Pirates except Bellamy and Baby 5, with Doflamingo being wrapped in Kairōseki (Sea-Prism Stone.) shackles. Maynard broadcast himself to neighboring islands, revealing what had happened to Dressrosa.
Elsewhere, the citizens demanded that Riku become king again.
Riku tried to deny them, but they persisted, touching him. Issho and the Marines then arrived and bowed down to Riku in apology for Doflamingo using his World Government status to take over Dressrosa with all the Marines following his example. The news about the Straw Hat and Heart Alliance's victory over Doflamingo was then revealed to the entire world. Meanwhile, Naruto, Law, and Luffy fell asleep against the wall.
Naruto then woke up as he heard Usopp and Franky argue behind the wall. He got up and walked to see the others with Kin'emon and Kanjuro with them as well.
Red Line; Mariejois.
Akainu stood in front of five men.
As a result of his intense battle with Kuzan at Punk Hazard, the right side of his neck and face are scarred, and a chunk of his right ear is missing. He also has a mustache and goatee. He has also replaced his red suit with a white one and is still at the same floral pattern shirt underneath. He is also smoking a cigar.
The first man in front of him has a scar on the left side of his face, wearing a hat over gray dreadlocks, and is holding a walking cane.
The second man is a tall and thin bearded man with long white hair.
The third man is bald, has large birthmark spots on his forehead, and has a large white mustache.
The fourth man is the oldest-looking. He is bald, with glasses and a white gi. He also holds a samurai sword with him. He is the only one of the five not wearing a black suit or tie, and the only one without facial hair.
The fifth and last man is the youngest-looking of the five. He has blond hair, a beard, and a scar on his chest. He's also wearing his suit with the shirt buttons open and without a tie.
"So, reporting Doflamingo's resignation from the Shichibukai (Seven Warlords), and revealing it was a false report... Was it all by the order of those above you people?" Akainu asked the five. "Why does the world have to be thrown into confusion... For someone like Doflamingo?!"
"If something like this ever happens again, it'll disgrace me as a Fleet Admiral! Don't ever do that again on any account!"
"Don't give us any of your cheek, Sakazuki." The dreadlocks man said.
"Your honor is completely inconsequential!" The bald one with a mustache said picking up where the first one left off.
"The Navy is only the public face of the Government!" The man in the gi yelled out slamming his sword on the ground.
"We left this case entirely up to Cipher Pol." The blonde haired one said getting Akainu to scoff.
"Cipher Pol, huh? To put it simply, you people have been walked over by the Tenryūbito (World Nobles) puppets, haven't you?!"
"Watch your mouth, Sakazuki!" The first yelled at Akainu.
"What about Kuzan?" The balding one asked. "I can't believe a powerful man like him sides with Blackbeard now! That's a dishonor on the Navy for sure!"
"He isn't a Marine now," Akainu said to calm them down. Suddenly, a Marine ran in and said the Straw Hat and Heart Alliance victory was just made public getting shocked looks from the six men.
All around the world, people were reeling from the news. Countries, brokers, and pirates lost their connection to weapons, and Akuma no Mi (Devil Fruits.) provided by Doflamingo.
A Town Somewhere.
Bonney, wearing a brown cloak reacted with happiness upon seeing the news while eating a slice of pizza.
"Oh, they took down Doflamingo. Good job. I'm happy to be in the same generation with them."
Somewhere In The Sky.
Urouge arrives at a Balloon Terminal to heal wounds he has.
"Monk Urouge! S-Somebody's here!" A group of men yelled running to him
"Don't be silly, We're on a Sky Island." Urouge stopped hearing footsteps as the clouds shook with each step.
He got up and saw a large shadow walking towards him.
A Sea Somewhere.
"Whoa-whoa, they have some nerve, the pirate alliance." Capone Bege said sitting on a ship belonging to Big Mom.
He now has a thick goatee, a darker hat, and sunglasses on.
"Looks like my friends are kicking ass! We'll capture Caesar at any costs, guys!" He said to his crew.
"HAI! (YES!) FATHER!"
The Kid Pirates Safe House.
"They went ahead of us before we knew it." Kid said to Hawkins and Apoo whom he's allied with.
Kid has slightly longer hair that appears to be pushed back. He also has a large scar that drags from the left side of his forehead and goes down his neck and another smaller one goes through his left eye. There are two parallel scars on his lower right arm.
His left arm also appears to be entirely mechanical as well as somehow connected to his nervous system, shown by the presence of several metallic wires embedded directly into his skin. His attire consists of his spotted pants, and a black opened vest, held down by a belted war kilt.
He also has a long dark red coat, worn over his shoulders. He appears to have become more muscular and has scars on his right forearm, left pectoral, and on the left side of his abdomen. He's also not wearing any jewelry.
Beside him, is Killer who is more muscular and with a thicker neck. He has grown a goatee and is shown to have a scar on his left arm. His hair is shorter, now only reaching down to his back. He has changed his attire after the two-year time skip to a blue t-shirt with his customized Jolly Roger on.
Hawkins hasn't changed other than he's wearing a dark blue coat and black and green gingham trousers.
Apoo is wearing a set of black headphones, and changed to a different garb that has the kanji moved to the right side of his pants, ropes as buttons for the shirt, and epaulets on his shoulders.
"It's a huge victory! Doflamingo is connected to Kaido behind the scenes for sure."
"Then, it'll make Kaido mad," Apoo said eating a crust from a pizza.
"If they planned this, their target must be..." Kid trailed off as Hawkins took a drink of wine.
"The Yonkos (Four Emperors) as we thought."
"'King of the Beasts' Kaido," Apoo said picking up another slice of pizza.
"I'm glad our targets are different from theirs," Killer said eating noodles through his mask. "Our target is the other one of the Yonkos (Four Emperors') 'Red-Haired' Shanks! And Drake who once provoked a battle in Kaido's territory..."
An Island Somewhere.
"Your father got killed by Doflamingo?" A man asked Drake who was reading the paper.
Drake no longer has his bicorne, exposing his now light orange hair spiked into a fauxhawk. He also has a black headband with an eyehole that is slanted so it only goes over his left eye.
"It was a long time ago. I'm not holding a grudge." He replied before following after them to a building yelling for Kaido about not getting any more SMILEs.
Dressrosa, Night.
Night fell in Dressrosa, and the Straw Hats, Law, and Bellamy went to Kyros' house to recuperate. Sabo then arrived just to see Luffy's face one last time, warning that CP-0 would be returning to Dressrosa. Sabo then revealed his past to Zoro, Naruto, Robin, and Franky as they are the only ones still awake. Twelve years ago, his ship was shot down by the Tenryūbitos, (World Nobles), but Dragon pulled his unconscious body out of the water.
Dragon took Sabo to his ship, where he regained consciousness. However, he did not remember anything, even his name, but he still had the gut instinct that his family was evil and he did not want to return to them.
Ten years later, Sabo heard the news about Ace's rescue and about Whitebeard's death. This caused him to remember his childhood, and he collapsed in grief and entered a coma for three days. Two years later, Sabo arrived at the Corrida Colosseum, and he revealed himself to Luffy.
Sabo bid his farewells to the Straw Hat Pirates and company and gave them a Vivre Card. He left the house and contacted the other Revolutionaries as he headed back toward the harbor.
Back with the Straw Hats, Naruto took a drink from his glass.
Zou.
Nami, Olive, Monet, Brook, and Momonosuke in his Dragon form were running away before Nami tripped as the ground suddenly buckled. Brook dived to grab her, only for Nami to grab him, and skid down the jungle. Suddenly, a man and a woman on a large alligator caught up to them.
The man is a muscular man of average height with short, light blonde, slicked-back hair and two small black horns on his head. He's wearing goggles over his eyes and an open black cloak that exposes his bare chest. There is a scar running the length of his chest, and his left forearm is entirely tattooed.
He's wearing a belt with Jolly Roger on it. The Jolly Roger is a skull in the middle of a pair of intersected crossbones. The skull has horns, and there are two shapes flanking the skull.
And he has long black pants.
The woman is a pink-haired woman with light blue eyes. She's wearing very little clothing, limited to two pieces of armor covering her breasts, a thong, a pair of gloves, golden earrings, and an open black cloak. She also has a pair of small, black horns on her head.
"Is this it, invaders?" The man asked with a grin. "Hey! Where did you hide that girl?! How did you guys get on this island?! Answer me! This place is quite atypical..."
"Nani?! (What?!)" Nami asked as the ground started to ripple.
"It's a Rain-Ruption!" Suddenly, a volcano erupted water on them and washed them down further into the jungle.
The man and woman caught up to the Crew who landed on a branch over a waterfall before he pulled out a sword.
Clang!
And had Brook block it with his Sōru Soriddo. (Soul Sword.)
"Shīpusu Hōn! (Sheep's Horn!)" The man transforms his hands into sheep horns and has his hair grow longer and looks like a sheep's pelt before punching at Brook.
"Sōru no Parādo! (Soul Parade!)" Brook holds Soul Solid backhand and blocks the attack.
"Brook! Keep stalling him!" Sanji yelled from up in the air, dropping down, leg on fire.
"Mūton Shoto! (Sheep Shot!)" Sanji delivers a flurry of kicks onto the man, setting him on fire and fall into the stream.
"Sheepshead-sama!" The woman yelled before Sanji saw her, and gained a heart for an eye. The woman covered herself up before a man yelled.
"Gin-Rummy-sama!"
Gin-Rummy looked back to see men on a boat before ordering a retreat saying they couldn't find a Samurai. Suddenly, the water seemed to go away. And the Crew missed a woman watching them from the shadows.
Sanji lit a cigarette and looked at the unconscious Sheepshead and focused on his buckle before leaving as Chopper yelled for them.
The Kid Pirates Safe House.
The ground shook having the men get up, and go outside. They ran to a large crater just near the shore with all three crews getting weapons out. Inside the crater is a human-sized hole just slightly smaller than the crater.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed the edge and a large man stood out of the hole, getting the three Captain's to widen their eyes.
"Damn, my head hurts. I guess it's hard to die. I survived again!" The man said holding his head.
"He managed to pull off dying... That ojiisan, (Old Man), Whitebeard..."
The man standing in front of them is an abnormally large, extremely muscular man, who towers above the group. He has a relatively small face, with yellow bloodshot eyes underneath small eyebrows, a hooked nose, a long chin, thick veins on his forehead, pronounced lines around his nose stemming from his angry sneering, and extremely pronounced crow's feet below his lower eyelid creases.
He has very long, thick, swept-back black hair that resembles a mane, a wavy, waist-length fu-manchu mustache, and a spiky goatee along with a pair of long, thick, light horns curved forward on each side of his head.
On his right abdomen, he sports a large, cross-shaped scar, and on the left side, he has a red and gold tattoo resembling reptilian scales, going from his chest down the front of his left arm to end with a white skull at the lower forearm.
He's wearing a dark blue feather coat draped on his shoulders, below which is a plain, dark purple, long-sleeved, close-fitting, and open shirt held together by a light rope belt, a shimenawa, below which hang various light tapes, ribbons, and two thick chains attached each to a separate fabric piece on each side.
Below that, he's wearing unspecified dark pants, and slightly above his wrists are spiked bracelets.
"I have no choice now, do I?" He yelled out dropping his arm. "Damn it! Hurry up, Joker! Make preparations for the final battle!" He yelled out sending a shock wave across the island.
"KAIDO!" A man yelled looking at the now-identified Yonko. (Emperor.)
"I don't care if this boring world is destroyed! Let's start the greatest war the world has ever seen!" Kaido yelled out holding his hands up in the air.
Dressrosa, The Next Day, South Shore.
Another Two days went by, as Sengoku and a woman named Tsuru arrived on Dressrosa, finding out that Issho refused to go after Luffy and Law because of a die roll. And that Issho was punished by not reporting sooner by being banned from all Marine Bases until he caught Luffy and Law.
Sengoku now has gray hair gray. He is wearing a dark blue shirt with red and green zigzag patterns, an orange tie with white marine shorts, and a Marine coat.
Tsuru is a tall, thin, and elderly woman with gray hair tied in a bun. Her attire appears to be less formal than the other high-ranking officers, consisting of a shirt left hanging out, with the sleeves rolled up and a tie around her neck, and calves-long pants. She has earrings made of beads, and on her right wrist, she has two bracelets.
The epaulets on her Marine coat are purple.
With them are three women Marine officers dressed in less formal uniforms like Tsuru
Issho put down his Die as Mansherry appeared on the table to help heal the Marines and Citizens.
Royal Palace.
At the royal palace, Viola walks around wondering where Rebecca is as she remembers Rebecca confronting Riku earlier about Kryos giving her a lie that her father was a prince that her mother ran off with. In the downtown area below, Gatz is getting the citizens excited by announcing that today will mark Dold's return to the throne and Rebecca becoming the crown princess.
Back up in the palace, Elizabello is with Riku before speaking.
"Everyone wants you back after getting fooled by Doflamingo, being prepared to stake their future on your pacifist ideals."
Riku sighed as he remembered looking over Dressrosa while inside the Birdcage. "I wish I could be a king who could fend off natural disaster... Kidding!" He said to an appalled Elizabello. "We will continue our efforts until the day Rebecca inherits the throne."
"I wonder if that will turn out alright, I remember how stubborn Scarlett was when she was young," Elizabello said with a chuckle.
Kryos' House.
Kin'emon and Kanjuro bring the groceries they got to Kyros' house, causing Luffy to wake up and scarf down the food. Kin'emon and Kanjuro tell the others about the rumors about Rebecca's father, and Luffy is surprised by this as he sleepily eats the food, though is also in a rush to get back to the others, causing Zoro to tell him to take it easy.
Luffy is angered by the story, but Kyros reveals that he was the one who made it up. He explained that he did it because he used to be a criminal and was never meant to interact with the royal family as he did, so he wants Rebecca to live happily without the shadow of his past behind her. Luffy, however, does not buy the explanation.
Right then, Bartolomeo races up to Kyros' house as Kyros receives a call from Leo, and Bartolomeo becomes entranced when he sees eight of the Straw Hats together. He reveals to them that the retired Sengoku and 'Great Staff Officer' Tsuru are on Dressrosa as well.
While trying to come up with a plan to escape without a ship, Bartolomeo explained that the other pirates were hiding in the city to distract the Marines to get them out. And that they can use his ship to get out.
Suddenly, Marines surrounded the house having the Crew run out as Bartolomeo used his barriers to block any bullets.
Naruto noticed Luffy stopped and ran to the Palace. "Shit! Go on, I'll get Luffy!"
Marine Camp.
Tsuru rolls a six with Issho's die getting him to mobilize to capture Law and Luffy. Naruto grabbed Luffy and looked at him. "What the hell are you doing?!"
"I need to talk to Rebecca!"
"(Sigh.) Fine." Naruto glowed gold before taking Luffy to the palace in the air.
He suddenly appeared in front of a window where Rebecca was in a yellow sun dress. "Rebecca!" Luffy yelled out as they went to the window. Rebecca heads toward Luffy despite a guard attempting to block her, and Viola is surprised to see them.
Luffy asks Rebecca if she is all right with what Kyros did, knowing that she will never see him again. Rebecca acknowledges that her father is trying to distance herself from her, wondering if it was because she said horrible things to him remembering arguing with Kyros back when he was a toy that he would never be able to defeat Doflamingo since he was only a one-legged toy soldier.
"No, he just doesn't want you to grow up with what he did in the past," Naruto said before pulling his blade out to a guard that tried attacking. "I'll make you famous."
"No, I can't!" Rebecca emotionally.
"Then come with us!" Luffy tells her to come with them.
Viola and the guards are bewildered by this, and Viola attempts to step in, but Rebecca turns to her and asks her for a favor. Luffy breaks Rebecca out of the palace, and a man runs to Riku to reveal what just happened. The citizens below are astonished by this turn of events and start to turn against Luffy by saying they should have never trusted a pirate. Gatz is also astounded but proclaims that he still likes Luffy.
Maynard points to this to prove his position that pirates cannot be trusted and orders his men to go after Luffy, and Naruto to rescue Rebecca.
Luffy leaps into the city with Rebecca holding onto Naruto as he holds her bridal style, and the Marine snipers take careful aim at them.
However, their rifles fire blanks, and they suddenly collapse. Bastille hears about this and wonders if this is from Haki, but it is revealed the Marines are still conscious. Bastille grows tense knowing that the criminals are nearing escape, and orders all his forces to head to the east.
S.H.C., Law, Bartolomeo, And Bellamy.
Law notices Sengoku and a gorilla sitting nearby, with Sengoku reassuring a fallen Marine that the rescue team would soon come.
Sengoku then sees Luffy, Naruto, and Rebecca running through the city, and angered citizens join the Marines in pursuing Luffy as he leaps from building to building.
Naruto, Luffy, And Rebecca.
The Trio continues running across rooftops as the citizens angrily pursue them, saying they should never have trusted him. Some citizens climb up to the roof they're on, but they leap over them onto another building and continue running. Luffy leaps back down to the streets as the citizens continue pursuing him when he suddenly runs into a platoon of Marines.
The Marines shoot nets at him, and Luffy attempts to dodge them by going in the air, but one soldier manages to hit him. Luffy is unable to make it onto a roof and collapses on the ground due to the net being made of Kairōseki (Sea-Prism Stone.)
Naruto dashed down and created clones to knock them out before pulling the net off of Luffy who shot into the air.
Luffy wrapped his arms around Naruto and Rebecca and pulled them with him, causing Rebecca to scream in fright, but Naruto managed to grab onto her and dashed along to Flower Hill. "We'll leave you up here behind the hill while we divert them," Naruto tells Rebecca knowing that the citizens will take her back to the palace if she is caught.
"Just get to the small house on Flower Hill before your father leaves," Naruto said putting her down and giving her a Hiraishin kunai. "If you ever need my help just stab or drop that into something."
Kryos' House
Kyros is packing his belongings inside his house, and holds up a pair of brown gloves, remembering how he held a young Rebecca with them after initially refusing to touch her with his bare hands.
'Scarlett. I fulfilled my roll. Forgive me for telling a lie about your husband. I did it all so Rebecca can live a happy life.' He thought before moving to the door.
Outside, Rebecca reaches the Flower Field and remembers when she and her parents were picking flowers. And how she joyfully gave flowers to them before they sold all of them in the city, which she was ecstatic about when they got home.
She then races through the forest leading to the field, but trips over a tree root. She then remembers Kyros going to the burning palace ten years ago when the Donquixote Pirates were taking over, and how they shared one last embrace as a family.
Days later, Rebecca was approached by Kyros, who was now turned into the Thunder Soldier toy, carrying the dead Scarlett in his arms.
Thunder Soldier apologized to Rebecca for failing to protect her mother, and Rebecca grieved over her as Thunder Soldier promised to protect her. However, Rebecca got angry at Thunder Soldier for not protecting Scarlett, as she had forgotten who he was. Rebecca remembers spending the rest of her life happily living with Thunder Soldier.
"Soldier-san... Please don't go! I... Haven't told you... Anything yet!" She silently begs.
Rebecca then gets up and keeps running. Kyros heads to the door, remembering how he protected Rebecca when he was Thunder Soldier, and how she once told him that she wanted to live with him one day. Rebecca continues running and stumbling through the forest, gaining bruises and cuts on her face and tearing her dress.
As she trips again, Rebecca remembers how Thunder Soldier taught her to fight, and she determinedly presses on.
Kyros prepares to leave, knowing that Rebecca was ridiculed for the past ten years for being a member of the deposed royal family and wanting her to finally live happily as part of the royal family. He has also decided that he should not stay here either.
As he opens the door, he is suddenly face to face with Rebecca. "Rebecca!"
"Don't lie!" She yelled at him.
Realizing she was talking about his letter, Kyros just sighed. "Everything I wrote was true, I was once a mass murderer."
"I don't care about that! I only have one father!" She yelled back at her father/
The two begin crying as Rebecca embraces her father. "Stay with me. Like you promised!"
Kyros slowly embraces her back. "You want to be with me?" He asked having Rebecca nod, and the two emotionally reconciled.
Royal Palace.
At the Royal Palace, Viola approaches Riku, revealing that Rebecca had asked her to become crown princess in her stead, much like Scarlett had done years ago.
S.H.C., Bartolomeo, Kin'emon, Kanjuurou, And Bellamy
The Straw Hats, Samurai, and the Colosseum gladiators have reached the Eastern Port, but are forced to wait for Luffy and the suddenly missing Law to return.
Suddenly, Issho comes flying toward them on a piece of rubble, and Zoro grins, eagerly anticipating a clash.
Zoro sends a flying slash at Fujitora, but the Admiral leaps off the piece of rubble he is sitting on, which is destroyed by the slash. Zoro prepares to draw more swords, but Bartolomeo blocks him. "Leave this to us!"
Bartolomeo puts up a barrier to block Fujitora, who unsheathes his sword.
Law.
"Want some rice crackers?" Sengoku asks and offers Law okaki, which he refuses. "No thanks, just start talking."
Sengoku tells Law about what happened thirteen years ago when he was talking to Donquixote Rosinante about a boy with amber-lead disease. He warned Rosinante to not let this get in the way of his mission to spy on his brother Doflamingo, which Rosinante agreed to.
"One day, a Navy soldier died," Sengoku said to Law. "He was someone special to me. I met him when he was a kid and his sense of justice was very strong. However, he did lie to me once." He continued remembering hearing that Doflamingo had heard about their upcoming exchange of the Ope Ope no Mi (Op-Op Fruit.)
He and Rosinante discussed the plan to bring down the Donquixote Pirates during the exchange.
Later, he received a report that Rosinante had died on Minion Island, causing him to weep bitterly.
"He betrayed me. But he must have had a reason." Sengoku said to Law. "Four things were lost that day: the Barrels Pirates, Rosinante, the Ope Ope no Mi (Op-Op Fruit.), and the boy with the Amber Lead disease."
"Hai! (Yeah!) That's me!" Law said revealing he was the boy from thirteen years ago.
"I thought so," Sengoku said eating a chip.
Law then tells Sengoku how Rosinante took him to hospitals before getting him the Ope Ope no Mi (Op-Op Fruit), and that he had spent the thirteen years after Rosinante's death working to kill Doflamingo.
"I don't know if this is how he wanted me, bearing the name 'D.' to live."
"'D.'?!" Sengoku asked shocked that Law carries the initial in his name.
"As the former Fleet Admiral, do you know something about the meaning of 'D.'?" Law asked Sengoku who gave his chips to the gorilla.
"No, I do not. Rosinante had no idea. Don't go looking for reasons why someone loves you."
Law remembers his experiences with Rosinante before Sengoku spoke. "I will not arrest you. If you want to do something in his memory. Then you and I should... Keep remembering him!"
Eastern Port.
Issho approaches the pirates and gladiators huddled behind the barrier. Fujitora notices the barrier and unsheathes his sword, causing the loose rubble all across Dressrosa to tremble.
The citizens are bewildered as it starts rising into the air.
Issho Lifts all the rubble into the air, forming a giant mass blocking out the sun. The pirates and gladiators stare at it in shock.
Law Suddenly appeared with the pirates and gladiators. "Get to the ships!"
Naruto dropped down in front of the woman and saw Luffy engage Issho in a fight yelling when he was going to punch or kick as he likes Issho. And saying he won't run away like they did two years ago, before being forced to the ground by Issho's power.
"Mōko! (Fierce Tiger!)" Issho generates immense levels of gravitational forces around him that push out horizontally, which knock away anything unfortunate enough to be in the attack radius. The force is so strong that it easily destroys the ground and buildings, reducing them to rubble.
It also causes Luffy's vision to warp as he is sent flying into Dressrosa's coastline, destroying a large chunk of it.
"It's Straw Hat, Hajrudin!" Cavendish yelled out having the giant grab Luffy and head for the port. All the while Luffy is trying to escape from the giant's grasp and get back to his battle.
"Alright, Luffy! Now it's my turn!" Zoro yelled as he prepared to have his turn fighting Issho.
"No, no! Please stop Zoro-Senpai! (Senior!)" Bartolomeo says and stops him from his attack. "We have our arrangement!"
The Straw Hats, Samurai, and the Gladiators rush onto the coast.
"How are all of your ships docked there?" Usopp asked wondering how they could have docked all their ships there.
"My ships are all lined up single file, holding up a makeshift dock leading to the rest of our ships in a foggy area five kilometers away!" Orlumbus explained as they saw ships lined up with plans tied to them floating on the water.
As the criminals run onto the makeshift dock, Luffy attempts to escape from Hajrudin's grasp yet again, but the giant retains his grip.
"Maybe, some other time! But we have something to do!"
Issho stands by the Eastern Harbor, intent on not allowing the criminals to escape. He moves the large mass of rubble floating in the sky over the Nita Maria, shocking the people below.
"I know you're trying to escape but I won't allow it!" He yelled before he started to reflect. 'How is that, Straw Hat? Although I can't see it, I know it's right before your eyes. The dark skies are telling you that you have nowhere to run. When you set sail, this huge rubble cloud will fall on you.'
'All the ships will sink. Can't you see? If by any chance you get by me, the Yonko (Four Emperors) will take action. And your future from now will be hell. You pitied my blindness but... I asked for this. I blinded myself because I saw so many things that I wish I hadn't.'
"Now... Let me guide you to hell!" He raised his sword having the rubble go towards the pirate ships. And had it explode so that it extended over the entire line of ships. Issho begins dropping the rubble when he is suddenly approached by a horde of citizens.
He attempts to stop them, but they run past him, shouting their intentions to get Rebecca back and take down the criminals themselves.
The citizens run to the coast as the criminals notice that the rubble is not coming down, and Luffy stands on Hajrudin's shoulder after convincing him he will not go back.
"What are they doing?"Luffy asks as he sees the citizens going after him.
As the citizens run past Issho, he hears one of them ask why they are doing this, as Rebecca was really with Kryos. Another citizen replies that they knew this, as well as who the 'fairies' really were.
As such, the citizens are only putting on a façade, shouting threats with smiles on their faces, and stopping at the edge of the coast to cheer on the Straw Hats. Issho reflects that everyone does want to help Luffy and begins wondering what Luffy looks like, as he regrets blinding himself.
S.H.C.
The Straw Hats are awestruck when they reach an enormous flagship.
The ship is massive, as even Hajrudin is dwarfed by its size. The ship has three masts and its figurehead is a woman looking upwards with angel wings and a helmet based on the design of Ancient Greek helmets.
Bartolomeo promises to show them his ship later.
"Straw Hat! I have four giant mercenary friends! I wanna pull together all the Giant tribes with them eventually and we'll revive the Giant Pirates that once terrorized the world!" Hajrudin said before Orlumbus spoke.
"Our Yontamaria Fleet numbers 56 ships! I know we can help you out!" He yelled which confused the Straw Hats.
"Luffyland! We got permission from Chief Tonta! Let us join too!" Leo exclaimed
"Luffy... They all want to sail under our Flag. To be a Fleet!" Naruto said piecing together what was happening as several Crews have formed alliances as well.
Bartolomeo prepares to complete the agreement for each Captain and each of their crews to serve under the Straw Hats. He pours cups of sake for himself and the six captains before emptying the rest of the sake into a very large cup for the Straw Hats. Bartolomeo then restates their request to serve under Luffy, whom they will officially bond with by drinking the sake
"I don't like the taste," Luffy said trying to get out of the situation.
The seven captains are shocked, saying that this is not about the taste, but Luffy continues to refuse, knowing that he would have full control over thousands of people. Some of the captains get annoyed at the refusal, with Sai and Ideo suggesting that they should force him to drink. All the while Zoro and the others drank Luffy's share.
"I don't want control over you all because it would not let me sail freely and become King of the Pirates!" Luffy said to the others before continuing. "We already have a bond after we worked together to defeat Doflamingo If we need help, we'll call. And we would come help any of you if you call!"
Suddenly, a pirate alliance arrives and starts firing at the seven crews' fleet. Orlumbus has one of his ships deal with the enemies as the captains resume their discussion.
Suddenly, Issho's rubble begins dropping on the attacking ships, which are quickly annihilated when Pica's stone legs fall on them as a parting gift to thank Luffy for cleaning up the World Government's mess.
On the Yonta Maria, the captains grow emotional over their admiration for Luffy's desire to be free, and they decide to drink their sake cups and pledge allegiance to Luffy regardless of his wishes, as Zoro drinks all the sake in Luffy's cup.
The seven crews then bring out food for a banquet to celebrate the formation of the Mugiwara Dai-sendan (Straw Hat Grand Fleet.)
Luffy is angered about this and that he cannot reciprocate the action, but the captains tell him that this is a one-sided alliance where they will come and help him whenever he wishes.
The crews then take part in the party, with Leo telling Cavendish that he will head back later on the Yellow Kabu while Orlumbus orders his fleet to set sail, continuing the party.
Flower Field.
On the Flower Field, Rebecca, and Kryos watch the Straw Hats depart as they hold each other's bare hands for the first time in ten years.
Yonta Maria A Few Days Later.
Luffy chuckled as everyone partied on the deck. Robin was sitting beside Naruto. Naruto smiled before taking a bottle, placed the cap on the edge of a table, and slammed his other hand down on the top.
The cap popped off as foam came out of the bottle before Naruto brought it up to his mouth. He stood up and walked to the stern with Robin where Law was watching the sea.
"You can't see Dressrosa anymore," Robin said looking out at the sea as Naruto took a drink from his bottle. "You achieved your goal in taking down Doflamingo, didn't you?"
Law just walked away, shouldering Kikoku. "Leave me alone."
Naruto waved over his shoulder before flipping the doctor off.
The Next Day.
"What. The. Hell?!" Naruto yelled out looking at Bartolomeo's ship.
The ship's design is based on both Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates' former flagship, the Going Merry. It also possesses a structure resembling Chopper's hat and antlers at its stern. It is slightly larger than the Thousand Sunny. On the ship's deck is a large pedestal with a glass dome holding a piece of Luffy's Vivre Card that he gave each Captain. The deck of the ship is littered with gum.
"All right! Look around as you please!" Bartolomeo yelled at the Crew and Law. "This is the Barto Club's pirate ship filled with love for the Straw Hats! It's called… The Gōingu Rufi-senpai-gō (Going Luffy-Senior Go!)"
"I regret joining." Naruto groaned out as he face-palmed and dragged his hand down. Bartolomeo's crew is revealed to be just as big fanboys as he is before taking them inside Bartolomeo's room where there are wanted posters.
"We have new posters!" Luffy yelled out pointing to the wall that had a frame around each of the Straw Hats' new posters with new pictures with Naruto's old bounty that didn't go up. As well as the autographs of each one who stayed in Dressrosa. Naruto's picture is him in his gold chakra cloak yelling out.
Wanted Dead Or Alive.
Monkey D. Luffy: $500,000,000.
Luffy's poster was him reaching for the camera eyes closed in a smile.
"It's 500 Million! Yeah!" Luffy shouted with his arms raised.
Roronoa Zoro: $320,000,000.
Zoro's was him with his bandanna on looking to the left.
"Oi! (Hey!) Do you have any booze?!" Zoro asked with a grin.
Demon Kurama: $90,000,000.
Kurama's poster is him with red chakra covering him, red-slitted eyes, and killing a Marine.
"Welp, guess it was inevitable," Kurama said walking in, hands in his pockets
Nico Robin: $130,000,000.
Robin's picture was a close-up with her left hand and arm covering her mouth from the picture.
"Oh no. It's gone up." Robin said looking at her new bounty.
Franky: $94,000,000.
Franky's picture was him in his General Franky armor.
"Just a little short!" Franky said noticing he was just under 100 million. "On top of that, it's General Franky's picture…"
'Kami' Usopp: $200,000,000.
Usopp's picture was him injured when he stopped Sugar.
Usopp just switched between extremely scared and ecstatic before Franky strangled him, having the only bounty under 100 million who fought at Dressrosa.
(Only Alive.) Sanji: $177,000,000.
Sanji's picture is a close-up without a shirt and a heart for an eye, smiling.
"Well, that's weird," Naruto stated seeing the only alive on the poster.
Gina: $70,000,000.
Gina's picture is her in a bikini top and short shorts posing with her hands running through her hair.
Nami: $66,000,000
Nami's picture is a close-up of her with her hands in her long hair.
"They got taken again?" Naruto sighed at the sexy photos of his girls.
Chopper: $100-
Chopper's updated picture is him in his new hat eating cotton candy.
"Ooh! I don't wanna be the one to break it to him." Franky said as he knew Chopper wouldn't like his still very low bounty.
Brook: $ 83,000,000.
Brook's picture was a picture that looked like his poster from when he was singing during the two-year training. With the 'Dead or Alive' in his hair.
"It's like a poster for his concert!" Franky yelled out.
"Everyone who was in Dressrosa or a part of the crews went up by at least 50 million!" Bartolomeo said after explaining Law's is 500 million as well. "Ours went up by 50 million as well. But… Take a look at that. For 'Black-Foot' Sanji-Senpai, (Senior,) the price has gone up strangely high and the text is odd."
"'Only alive'?" Franky asked as Usopp walked up to the posters.
"Since it's Sanji, I bet someone holds a grudge against him over a woman and wants to do the honors themselves." He said getting the others to chuckle at that.
Marine Headquarters.
Kizaru was cutting his nails at his desk as a man was reporting to him.
"The A.O. Pirates, formerly of the Whitebeard Pirates, have just been wiped out."
"Is it that guy again?" Kizaru asked lazily.
"Hai, (Yes,) it's the Shichibukai (Warlord) Edward Weevil."
"How many captains who used to work under Whitebeard… Have been brought down?"
"16 captains, sir." The man replied to the Admiral.
Kizaru looked down at the reports on the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Like the other cases, it seems like they were blown up along with the town after some kind of argument. The casualties are about 600. He always causes a lot of collateral damage. Even though he's the Shichibukai (Warlord) we can't just overlook it."
"What should we do?" Kizaru asked looking up.
"He says he's Whitebeard Edward Newgate's biological son and that makes him special but many people aren't buying it..."
"Hmm. Well, it doesn't matter to us if it's true or not. Whoever his father is, he has one sure value. As a pirate, he's overwhelmingly strong. Pretty much like Whitebeard when he was young. That's the only thing they have in common."
To Be Continued.
A/N: Thanks for reading and let me know of any mistakes.
Beta: ANUBIS the god king
OK as the site was done due to a power failure not too long ago that also messed with the reviews and the email alerts, I decided to wait for that to be fixed by writing ahead then noticed I had a Ch for all but two stories so decided on doing all as one large update.
Also, I'll be having some rain go by for the week so also sped through USM, RWBY, and Young Justice stories so apologies for the quality mainly on those as they were the last ones I worked on, and was running on empty, and speeding through to get them up in case power/internet goes out.
Naruto's bounty won't go up for a while in case someone thought he would go up for this arc but he's already over 2 billion
Remember to vote if you didn't!
Also got some PMs on using the Japanese word followed by English. I'll do my best to keep that for titles weapon names and attack moves but you might see it once in a while (For this I had already written it out when getting those PMs.)
When getting to the last full week of October uploads will slow down for a while… Just until I write out a chapter ahead for all stories so I can be one Ch ahead for the holidays and upload all either the day before or on it same for Christmas end of Nov I'll again write out a chapter ahead for each story before updating one to have them all be updated on Christmas
I just saw the Live Action show… Wow, it was actually good. From all the sites that combine scores, I've seen have it at an 8.5/10 and yeah that's where I would give it. Can't give it a higher one ONLY due to them omitting some characters and changes to the story.
Spoilers under this stop reading if you don't want to be spoiled.
:SPOILER:
Don Kreig is killed by Hawkeye before coming to the Baratie. Gin still shows up but as a random guy stumbling in to tell Luffy how terrible the Grand Line is and Arlong is the guy Luffy fights there and loses/does him being thrown underwater there. Nami stays to watch Zoro's fight, Arlong is the underground Kingpin of the entire East Blue, and the villagers hate Nami instead of knowing she's just doing it to raise money/help them.
Merry dies, and Garp chases Luffy through each arc and Luffy reveals he's Garp's grandson when getting attacked like at Water 7 before going to the Baratie. Some fights are shorter/inside like Kuro's fight is in the mansion at night with wood over the windows to help with the rubber effect, Buggy is inside a circus tent 100% and we don't see the town outside a quick scene and they leave out Chouchou, though he does show up at the last scene when Luffy and the others leave.
Hatchan isn't in though they tried but took him out due to budget concerns. Jango isn't in neither are the kids with Usopp.
:SPOILER END:
So for those reasons, I can't give it a higher score but it is renewed and I'm excited for S2.
Next to be updated will be Shinobi on Board as I'll start over on the published order
Nothing else to say.
Talk To You Later,
Lone Wolf Out.🐺
