The sky was painted a vivid orange as the sun began to set over a vast plateau. A gleaming light scalded the air, glaring against Frisk. With a blinding burst, Kizaru launched his laser attacks. The world around Frisk crumbled into an array of colors and blinding light, sending her skidding across the ground. However, despite the overwhelming power, Frisk's eyes shone with unwavering determination. Even as the pain and searing light threatened to swallow her whole, she pulled herself to her feet. Her heart, the embodiment of her indomitable will, pulsed with vibrant life. Kizaru smirked, his body transforming into light, and darted towards her at an unbelievable speed. Yet no matter how many times he knocked her down, Frisk stood back up immediately. Amidst the blinding tempest of light and power, her spirit remained unbroken—a beacon of hope and persistence in the chaotic clash.

"I've faced many pirates, but none quite like you. What monstrous Haki..." Kizaru remarked.

Frisk chose not to respond.

As Kizaru drew his leg back, preparing a kick infused with the brilliance of light, Frisk faced the attack, dodging the light-speed admiral and even surprising him.

"My, my, you're full of tricks, aren't you? All the more reason to put you and this entire crew down," Kizaru taunted.

The plateau echoed with the sounds of Kizaru's flurry of light-speed attacks, each aimed to incapacitate. Frisk was thrown across the landscape, slamming through several buildings, creating even more debris.

The others watched in horror and awe as Frisk battled Kizaru, feeling utterly helpless.

"She must be the real deal to be fighting my uncle like this," Sentomaru noted.

"FRISKKK!" Nami screamed, attempting to rush towards Frisk.

Robin stopped Nami using her devil fruit powers. "Wait, Nami! We can't—"

"CAN'T WHAT!? DON'T YOU GET IT?! SHE'S GOING TO GET HERSELF KILLED BECAUSE OF US!" Nami cried out.

The rest of the crew looked on, speechless.

Suddenly, another Pacifista shot a laser at Nami. The situation was dire. Shockwaves rippled throughout Sabaody, and the ground trembled as Kizaru continued his merciless attack on Frisk.

Frisk lay on the ground, Kizaru's glowing leg aimed straight at her.

"GOD DAMN IT!" Sanji screamed, rushing towards them, but Sentomaru blocked him.

Desperate, Sanji shouted, "GET THE F*** OUT OF THE WAY!"

Despite Sanji's best effort, he was knocked back, with the rest of the crew too preoccupied by the other Pacifista.

"FRISK!" They all cried.

Just as Kizaru was about to fire, the Dark King intervened, deflecting Kizaru's laser. The impact pushed Frisk several meters away.

"Whoa there," Kizaru commented, regaining his composure.

"The spirit of someone this young is truly something rare. Kizaru, shouldn't an Admiral be above fighting a child? You shouldn't be plucking young sprouts like these. Their time is just beginning," Rayleigh admonished.

"This 'child' isn't ordinary, is she? I'd heard you were on this island, but to think you're really here," Kizaru mused.

"Go, young girl! I'm praying for your safety," Rayleigh urged.

Frisk got up, only to find Bartholomew Kuma looming over her.

"If you were to take a trip, where would you like to go?" Kuma inquired.

"...Home," Frisk whispered.

Kuma swung his paw at Frisk. Normally, the targeted person would vanish instantly. However, Frisk didn't disappear. It was as if an invisible barrier protected her, preventing Kuma's hand from touching her. Black lightning sparked around them, reminiscent of Thriller Bark. The pressure formed a crater around Frisk.

"EVERYONE!" Frisk shouted, catching their attention. "There's so much I want to say right now, but there's no time. Above all else, I have one question." Upon closer inspection, Frisk's stick clashed against Kuma's paw. Despite her injuries and the blood, Frisk managed a smile. "Do you believe in me?"

The crew watched, stunned. Amidst the violent streaks of black lightning, Frisk coughed up more blood.

"I NEED YOU TO ANSWER!" Frisk implored.

"YES! ALWAYS!" They all screamed.

Frisk's tears betrayed the smile she made—an overwhelming sadness.

"I LOVE YOU GUYS! I PROMISE YOU, WE'LL MEET AGAIN. UNTIL THEN, BE SAFE," she declared.

Everyone knew Frisk didn't make promises lightly. They all sensed something was wrong, but before they could react, Frisk released her determination. Frisk did not know what was going to happen next. Unsure of the outcome, she took a leap of faith.

The Strawhats had faced numerous challenges. Frisk, a quiet yet playful child, had won the hearts of every crew member. Their bond with Frisk was deep, and the child had come to symbolize the very soul of the crew. Now, the spot where Frisk once stood was hauntingly empty, and the crew's reactions were immediate and visceral.

"FRISK!" Luffy screamed, his eyes wide with a mix of rage and confusion.

Zoro said nothing, only clenching his swords so tightly that his knuckles whitened.

"No...! Not again. We can't lose her," Nami whispered, tears streaming down her face.

"How... How could he do that? WHERE DID YOU SEND HER, YOU BASTARD!" Usopp shouted angrily.

"FRISK-SAN! YOU BASTARD!" Sanji yelled, charging at Kuma with trembling lips.

"FRISK!" Chopper cried out in anguish, scanning the surroundings in vain hope that Frisk might suddenly appear. The thought of losing his first friend was unbearable.

Robin, usually the epitome of calm, was visibly shaken, tears in her eyes. "Frisk..."

"LIL-SIS! DAMMIT!" Franky shouted, his robotic hands creating a dent in the ground from sheer frustration.

"Young lady..." Brook murmured, his typically jovial tone replaced by deep sorrow.

"HEY! WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER? WHERE IS SHE?!" Luffy demanded, turning his fury towards Sentomaru.

"I may be known for keeping secrets, but I've heard those hit by those paws soar through the skies for three days and nights," Sentomaru replied cryptically. "Only the one sent knows where they've gone. But I can assure you, she's not nearby. She might even be on the other side of the world."

The Strawhats' defeat was as rapid as it was devastating. One by one, they vanished, despite their desperate efforts. A haunting silence settled, with only Luffy left standing.

"I... I COULDN'T PROTECT THEM! NOT EVEN ONE! WHY?!" Luffy's voice echoed with despair.

Kuma loomed over Luffy, raising his paw. "We won't cross paths again... Goodbye."

In the Grand Line, on the Sabaody Archipelago in Grove 12, a somber note marked the day. The pirate crew led by Captain Monkey D. Luffy, the renowned "Strawhat Pirates," was obliterated.
