Prologue:
Where it all began
Dive to the Heart I
In the world beyond one's vision is the place called Dive to the Heart. Where many can venture towards their own hearts and see from within, currently Luffy who is slowly falling down towards the bottom is being guided by some ancient force. As his body slowly made its way down towards the bottom, Luffy eyes open slowly then widen in shock by his surroundings.
"What the?! Where am I?" Luffy shouted confused by this place, all Luffy understood is he's standing on some glass stain surrounded by darkness. When trying to make sense of his environment, he could only think it's a mysterious place. When Luffy look down he gasp at seeing himself along with Ace and Sabo when they first met many years ago. In the stain glass has several other people, Shanks he admired years ago and plans on becoming King of the pirates, his grandpa he sometimes dislikes but still considers him family, the bandits known as Dadan family including herself and other two Dogra and Magra who took care of him alongside Ace and Sabo, the Mayor of Foosha Village who scolds Luffy for his misbehaving deeds, but considers him as friends. And finally Makino who appears at the center surrounding the other 6 portraits of those close to Luffy.
Your an interesting one.
"Huh, who's there?" Luffy shouted to the voiceless person.
You have been brought here to change a dark destiny.
One that is meant to be our doom towards the future.
"!?" Luffy titled his head in thought trying to understand what that meant.
There is only one way to prevent this path.
While one cannot change fate as they are meant to happen by high above.
Destiny is only determine by Will's of their people.
In order to counter this, someone must be destine to destroy other destiny's.
The fact your here, means your meant to change this path towards another future.
Soon pillars of light shine all around Luffy each one had five different weapons. All as named in order clockwise, Dream Sword, Dream Shield, Dream Rod, Dream Gauntlet, and Dream Bow. Each of them oddly had the Mickey Symbol, the sword is silver with yellow and blue handle, the shield is red with black stripes and other parts, Rod has a blue Mickey symbol top and green handle like a staff, Gauntlet are silver with red mickey symbol on the back hand, and the bow is colored green and black mickey symbol on with arrows in brown and silver tips.
Chose your path,
Each of them symbolize one's aspect you chose about yourself.
The Sword represents path of the warrior,
Shield represents path of the guardian,
Rod represents path of the Mystic,
Gauntlet represents path of the Champion,
and Bow represents path of the Watcher.
With the sword comes great power, yet has cause massive destruction in their path.
The shield guards their allies and friends alike, focuses on defense lacking strength.
For the Rod allows one to seek hidden knowledge long forgotten.
Gauntlets brings the mightiest of all people, leading nations into battles.
Then Bow allows anyone to see beyond themselves and watches out for others in trouble.
Chose one and begin your adventure.
Many of these weapons sounded cool in Luffy's mind, however there is one he values more then strength. Without hesitation Luffy chose the shield knowing this will provide hum strength to defend his friends from danger. For sometime he has been working on his new rubber powers, as Ace has left for his pirate adventure he now has to train 3 more years before venturing towards the world. Once he chose his weapon, Luffy's surroundings change into another stain glass. This time however it has change, now he's surrounded by what appears as his current self with Ace right beside him and Foosha Village as the background.
"Ace." Luffy already misses him after his short departure. Now Luffy wants to join him soon once he sets sail into the seas.
While many will try to harm you, there will be those who seek your destruction through shadows.
Once the voice mention this, dark creatures started to appear from the ground. These are called heartless, specifically shadows the weakest of heartless among many others in worlds.
Use your new strength and defeat these creatures.
Without hesitation, Luffy charge in carrying his shield and punch the first monster in sight. Once he punch the heartless, Luffy bash the next heartless using his shield for defense and punching glove. Sometimes Luffy would kick the heartless since he's more so a brawler mix with free style. The heartless appeared easy for Luffy to defeat without too much effort. But then more started to appear as the voiceless being wanted to see Luffy's skill in combat. He kept on fighting defeating each heartless one by one until there are none left. Once he finish Luffy took a breather as the voiceless spoke.
Now you have learn the basics,
you will join the others for the final test.
Unknown Location I
Kanan Jarrus usually is someone that has experience with many things after joining people riding a ship called Ghost. Officially they call themselves Ghost Crew, that has been fighting the Empire for sometime. However this event has taken them for a loop, unlike before they had some destination in mind, yet as he got up what he experience was something different.
"Urgh, what happen?" Confused by the circumstance, Kanan look around to see all his friends consist of Ezra Bridger his apprentice throughout their journey together. Their have been some rough times, but the two formed a special bond between master and apprentice. Hera Syndulla a Twi lek that has some romantic interest in Kanan, despite being a Jedi from the order, he doesn't mind expressing himself to her. At the same time is the co-leader of the Ghost crew who leads their small band of rebels in mission that would be impossible, while also being the best pilot among the crew. Sabine Wren a Imperial dropout, graffiti artist, and Mandalorian who is always full of tricks while using what she learned in her training including explosions. Garazeb Orrelios aka Zeb for short, a Lasat that tried to oppose the empire, yet failed resulting in near devastation. C1-1OP or Chopper, an astromech droid with some attitude who helps the ghost crew in their adventures and tech support. Captain Rex formerly a clone soldier from the Grand Army of the republic before the Empire took over, responsible for the deaths of thousand Jedi, Rex remove the implant that would force him to execute Order 66 that would kill Jedi, while Kanan was distructing he eventually saw Rex as his friend.
Eventually everyone started to get up, and realize they are somehow on entirely different planet. Some tried to figure how they end up here, while others find this bizarre situation out of left field.
"What the heck happen?" Is Zeb's first question to their situation.
"More like where are we? We're in the middle of nowhere and our ship ghost isn't around." Sabine pointed out starting to freak out despite her helmet covering Sabine's expression.
"Feels like we somehow jump into a wormhole and traveled to some far away galaxy." Rex comment not liking their situation by the minute.
"More importantly why are we here? Is this another Jedi tricks Kanan?" Hera asked the former Jedi who is also confused.
"No, if this was a Jedi trick I would know." Kanan knew from what experience he has that this was something... different.
"Just what is this planet, I can sense the force yet it's both light and dark sides of the force are connect. Yet there seems to be another power that serve as in-between this planet." Ezra said confused by this planet, the sense of both light and dark sides of the force being pulled. Chopper made some beeping noise saying he detected some strange energy readings from where they are standing.
"I don't like, where is our ship and why here of all places?" Hera look around not liking this situation by the moment. After they had gathered their wits, everyone sat at the center of four way paths. Creating an camp fire for their the night staying until they can figure something out.
"Still don't remember what happen?" Zeb asked hoping he'll not the only one lost.
"No Zeb, we all remember riding Ghost towards something, yet I don't remember what?" Ezra tried to think of anything that could help them.
"We were going to... then you guys were... I know I'm old, but not that old to forget something like our next mission." Rex muttered the last sentence feeling embarrassed by this situation.
"The force is definitely different compare to other planets. Almost something no Jedi or Sith have venture before, would even argue this place might be the birth place of all Force sensitive users are made. But that's a stretch if not for this weird feeling." Kanan could still both relaxation and danger all around him, like something is threating and not at the same time.
"Our communications are down, we have no landing point and we're in the middle of four different paths, where exactly are we suppose to head?" Sabine asked what everyone is thinking.
Not where you should head,
but where you should go?
Hearing a voice everyone armed themselves preparing for anything. The voice sounded right behind them but has remain silent.
"Who's there?" Hera demanded.
If you want to find what you lost,
When they turn towards the left he vanish then spoke on their right.
then seek towards the in-between,
Once more the voice remain silent once they turn right, but then turning one side they found the figure dress in some black coat floating few inches above ground.
Travel towards the gray and the ghost will be found
The figure slowly vanish in the night towards one direction many felt suspicious or concern by this figures cryptic message.
"That was... different." Zeb said what everyone is thinking about this individual.
"Should we even follow this guy, for all we know it could be some crazy old man leading us towards a trap." Sabine said still on guard for him to appear.
"He mention about the ghost will be found, maybe that's where our ship is located." Kanan said
"Well it's obviously a trap, but what choice do we have." Hera didn't like where this was leading, but they had little to no options in the matter. So for now they might as well move forward and figure this out somehow.
Dive to the Heart II
Another sense change to someone name Zoro, who is slowly falling down towards the darkness. When awaken Zoro, everything appeared in darkness yet he remained calm believing this to be some dream. When looking down the stain glass, Zoro found his young self along with others in their portraits. One is his old sensei from his dojo in Shimotsuki village along with few other students and his childhood friend Kuina. Looking at the image Zoro discovers that this place can't be him dreaming otherwise he wouldn't be thinking of Kuina like this or so he tells himself.
"I must have overdrunk myself." Zoro said, looking around the area.
Dreams are certainly wonderful.
Hearing the voiceless being, Zoro grab his one sword on his side since he broke his other two swords, "Who's there?"
But sometime they can be dangerous as the thing they pursue.
Soon four lights appear, each with one floating weapon surrounding him. Four of the weapons consist of Sword, Rod, Gauntlet, and Bow.
Choose wisely.
Is all the voice said, Zoro walk towards the Sword clearing the path for the Warrior. Testing the sword, Zoro gave some swings finding it well balance despite the design.
There is more then just brute strength,
yet that doesn't mean you will learn all things in life,
sometime one step is enough to learn hundreds of lessons.
"Look pal, I don't know what game your playing, but leave me out of this." Zoro warned the voice, suddenly a Neoshadow appeared behind him, sensing danger Zoro block the sneak attack as the heartless jump back away from him.
Let us test your skills other then strength,
show me how to guard.
Then 6 more Neoshadows arrive circling Zoro, pulling his blade out he would use both swords to fight these monsters. Yet by unknown reason force himself to guard against their attacks. Not knowing why he wanted to listen, Zoro began to block all their attacks even when circling around him. From all directions, Zoro displayed his swordsmen techniques that he has acquired over the years since leaving his village. Now these days he works as solo bounty hunter that hunts criminals with certain among of Belis for their world. His dream is to become the World's Greatest Swordsman in the world. In order to obtain this he needs to defeat Hawkeye Mihawk in order to claim this title. But now with everything that has happen Zoro has to somehow escape this place. Once he block two more Neoshadows, practically everyone of them is dazed, ending this Zoro slice them up ending this fight.
Good you remember,
but now we must move on to your next steps.
Then some glass pathway created itself to another stain glass and if Zoro is seeing right a second path after this one.
Go through here and we can move to our next lesson.
30 minutes later
... You suck at directions?!
While Zoro could not here the voice shouting or sarcastic remarks, you can tell by the words how it finds Zoro ability to get lost is ridiculous itself. There was only one pathway and yet Zoro still couldn't find his way there instead went every other direction except for the one at his face.
"Shut up, your directions made no sense!" Zoro shouted annoyed by this voiceless individual. For the stain glass this time had his old Sensei from Shimotsuki village smiling as if he was here. It was bittersweet for Zoro as he couldn't help but smile back at the image.
Anyhow let us begin, try counter-attack.
The lesson moved on as Zoro now had to counter each Neoshadow and destroy them with only these counter. It took some effort since that usually the harder methods of fighting. When only using offense and defense to defeat your foes, that and Zoro hasn't fought many people that are good swordsmen to test his skills. With some effort the heartless are defeated now leading Zoro to the next stain glass. This stain glass has his childhood friend Kuina along with her former sword that Zoro is using now. Her eyes are close shut showing she is no longer here. Once he reach this spot the voice again instructed him.
Sometime you can't always block, counter or attack your opponents.
Every now and then you must learn to dodge these powerful strikes.
When warned by this voiceless being, Zoro instincts kick in as he jump away from some random dark fire ball attack. Soon more started to appear as Zoro not only dodge them, but also rolled around to avoid them. Realizing how dangerous these attacks are, Zoro had to move around with little to no space on the Stain glass, yet still manage to avoid these dark fire balls. After few minutes of dodging the attacks stop allowing Zoro to breath through them.
Good, you still no how to dodge.
"I'LL KICK YOU ARSE IF I FIND YOU!" Zoro shouted furious at the surprise attack.
Maybe another time.
For now others are to see you.
Unknown Location II
Garnet for all her experience and trying to remain a upstanding leader finds herself and her two fellow gems in some pickle. Before being place in this weird location her vision began to haze as if something was forcing them here. Once she took in her surroundings she stood at what appeared to be distances away from a wormhole that's located directly in front of them. When Garnet heard Pearl and Amethyst waking up, they started to shake themselves off whatever had made them daze.
"Wh-what happen?" Pearl stood and look around, "Where is this place, what happen to the Corrupt Gem, is Steven going to be okay?" Pearl started to worry only for Amethyst to push them aside.
"Lighten up P. I'm sure Steven is just hanging waiting for us to return." Amethyst assured but wasn't helping.
"Amethyst this is serious, when we were sent to take on corrupt gem. We were suppose to arrive on that location, yet everything is different. What's with this open field and why is that appear like some wormhole?!" Pearl notice earlier about the location distance from them.
"Hmm, looks like some donut hole if you ask me." Amethyst joke, this made Pearl groan sometimes annoyed with Amethyst constant need for joking.
"Garnet what do we do now?" Pearl asked their fearless leader, yet when waiting for a response Garnet said nothing, making the two gems worry for her.
"Yo Garnet, you leaving us hanging?" Garnet ignored Amethyst and was in deep thought. In fact two parts of her mind Ruby and Sapphire are at odds yet felt very calm about their predicament. Having nothing better to do, Garnet decides to walk only one direction as Pearl and Amethyst followed behind.
"What's with Garnet? She's not always silent, okay maybe all the time but this... doesn't feel right." Amethyst said concern for Garnet and starting to worry about their situation. Normally Garnet is the one with future vision that allows her ideas what to expect and what they need to do next. Yet now she seems more quiet and somewhat ominous giving this creepy feeling.
"For once I agree, something is serious wrong. Garnet is usually more strong and collect no matter the situation, yet somehow this time... this time I think... we're facing something we're not ready for." When Pearl said this, her memories came back to the Gem War. All the gems scattered to pieces leaving only her, Garnet and Rose. Amethyst join their group about 500 years back, But that eventually change when she had Steven come to life. Now it's just the three and corrupted gems around the world, the remaining crystal gems have done what they can to save the world from monsters and diamond authority.
This however, may end differently.
Dive to the Heart III
Sanji has always wanted to cook for those in need for food. When he awaken to this place, he tried to remember why he's here and how to escape this place so he can get back to the old geezer and the restaurant baratie.
"What kind of Sh$ place is this?" When Sanji look down he saw what appeared as Glass Stain with him serving others and meals carrying on his arms. On one side are portraits of people has place in his heart. The old man named Zeff, who has raised Sanji as his own son, former pirate known as Red-Leg Zeff. Then beside him are two other he knows as Patty and Carne who are assistant cheffs and waiters for the customers. But some parts of the stain glass seemed chip or removed from these portraits, Sanji can guess what this means but has no desire to remember his former life.
A past left unfinish is destine to resurface again.
"Hey, your the bastard that's trap me here?" Sanji demanded.
You I cannot do much,
but in time you will except your past,
and perhaps heal your wounds.
Then two more stain glass appeared in different colors. Each reflection of Sanji as he almost felt himself split into three people. The one is colored blue has Sanji holding the rod that gives his wisdom in magic, the orange has Sanji holding on gauntlets on his hands, and the Green shows Sanji holding the bow with arrows magically appearing in his hands.
Each of these represents one aspect of yourself.
The bow represents the Watcher able to keep his friends safe from distance but never entering the battle.
The Gauntlets hold much strength using your hands to fight champions greater then yourself.
The Rod gives wisdom and knowledge to those who seek mystic arts and powers beyond themselves.
Choose one.
While the voiceless being excepted Sanji to chose, "Like H#$l I would chose any of them. let's make one thing straight, I'm a chef and I use my hands to serve others who are hungry and need of food. I will kick the crap out of anyone who would try to fight, but I will not waste my hands to fight what battles you expect me to partake. So my choice is neither of them." Sanji refused keeping to his code of chefs he swore upon himself.
Very well.
While you must chose and except who you are,
your value in your gifts is recognize.
As such I will allow you to fight using your legs,
but there will be change for your benefit.
When the voice is finished Sanji's own persons fused into one along with the stain glass. Then suddenly Sanji felt his hands covered in something, examining himself his hands gain some black gloves matching his suit.
The gauntlets now represent as your hidden power,
how you use them will be up to you,
but know this power is for your own benefit towards the future.
Until you except your gifts,
others are waiting.

"Man this sucks." Tucker groaned as he slowly got up from resting. While he doesn't remember what he was doing, he does know about his time in Blue base with Church and Caboose so he hasn't lost any memories that's good. But when looking around he saw Caboose, Sarge, Simmons, and Griff are with him unconscious at the moment.
"Oh Terrific, trap in whatever this planet is and suck with these three idiots, fourth if Simmons wasn't a tiny bit smart." Tucker said annoyed by this situation. When he look around he found himself close to some building he can make out from far yet close distance.
"What the F%$k is that castle?" Tucker shouted then Caboose said in his sleep, "Tucker did it." Snoring away as everything is at play.
"Geez even asleep he's a pain in my arse." Tucker then proceed to knock Caboose out of his sleep then felt Caboose stood right up shouting, "Is it pancake day!" he shouted.
"No Caboose, we're all lost in this G&% knows in the middle of nowhere and we're stuck with Red Team with us." Tucker explained as simple as possible.
"Did they steal all the pancakes? Cause that would make me sad." Caboose said to Tucker, who facepalm at Caboose's own incompetents.
"No use delaying it, we might as well wake them up and towards that creepy place over there." Tucker pointed towards the castle which made Caboose said, "We better call the ghost busters, there very good at their jobs." Caboose told Tucker, knowing this is going to be long day.
"Grrr those dirty blues." Sarge growled waking from his suppose sleep.
"Great, just great. What have they got us into this time." Griff complain knowing somehow it's the blue team's fault. Simmons look around worried about their location, and scared about what they will face.
"Hey Sarge, you know exactly where we're located?" Simmons asked out of nervousness, mostly because the environment is very strange and unknown to him.
"Of course I know where we are, those dirty blues somehow teleported us to some secret base outside their base. Then they plan on brainwashing us to join Blue army, and then they will make us do Janitor duty and force us to make pancakes, which is the best meal of the day." Sarge explain the insane idea that goes on his head.
"Ah no Sarge, why don't we just go towards that castle over there?" Griff advised pointing towards the building that seemed far.
"Hold it, we still need to call the ghost busters, there are always ghost living in castles." Griff and Tucker groan at Caboose knowing this will be a long trip.
"Come on, we might as well get this over with." Tucker lead the way as Sarge lead his red team alongside side Caboose who insist on calling ghost busters or assume ghost haunt that building.
Dive to the Heart IV
Nami has always been a survivor in the world, trying to earn herself some money to pay pirates to free her village Cocoyasi. When she awoke someone else was falling beside her named Usopp, who lived in a village called Syrup. He appeared still sleeping despite their predicament, examining her surroundings Nami saw they appear slowly falling towards some stain glass. Normally she would be screaming or worried for her life, but for odd reason she felt content about her situation. What really bothered her is their situation.
"What is this place?" Is Nami's first question to their situation.
Once they landed, Nami examine the stain glass that appeared split in half. One half is Nami's side on the left, showing Cocoyasi village with portraits of Genzo, Nako, Nojiko, and surprising Bell-mere who appeared smile like she remembered. On the right side is Usopp in front of Syrup village, besides him are portraits of Kaya, Merry and his band of Usopp Pirates named Ninjin, Piiman, and Tamanegi who are enjoying themselves. There are two others who Nami can guess mean very mush to him, in truth they are his parents Banchina and Yasopp who Nami will despise. Nami's side is covered in ornage while Usopp's is in green.
"Must be nice to have your village free from pirates." Nami muttered then approach Usopp sleeping body and shook him up.
"Wh-what is it?" Usopp rub his eyes, blinking few times then took his surrounds and said, "Huh must be a dream, ah well."
Before falling asleep, Nami got frustrated and bash his head shouting, "GET UP!" This cause an effect as Usopp took everything as reality and screamed, panicking at his situation.
"Would you cut it out!" Nami knock the sense into him as he acknowledge her presence.
"Why did you do that?" Usopp complained rubbing his left cheek.
"Because you wouldn't stop yelling, besides this isn't the best time to panic is it?" Nami question Usopp hoping he would agree, after some deep breaths he stood and agreed with Nami's logic.
"Your right, but what are we suppose to do?" Before they could speak the voiceless being intervene.
"I don't know, but we better figure this out if we want to live. Names Nami by the way." Nami said.
"Usopp, you new from Syrup village?" He asked looking around with caution.
"I'm just traveling by, I come from Cocoyasi village." Nami said standing behind him facing opposite direction. Both are covering each other's back in case something happen, even if this is their first time meeting they had to make sure they somehow escape this alive.
I see many scars in your lives.
"What the... who said that?" Usopp demanded while being scared.
One who is raided by thieves who take what they desire.
The other who hides by deception from his reflections.
This startled them worried why this being is telling them this stuff. Suddenly two weapons appear the rod and the bow floating close to them.
Who your path and know yourselves.
For what shadows may lay will resurface to control you.
Both Nami and Usopp weren't sure what is going on. But the two decided to pick the weapons, for Usopp he chose the Bow and Nami the Rod. Both complement their skills, as Nami uses her Staff for combat while Usopp uses his slingshot.
You may play by your strengths
But what can you do in weakness or circumstance.
Suddenly both of them are blinded by shining light. When they open their eyes they saw six different people or groups, three for Nami are Genzo, Nojiko and Bell-mere who appear like statues, for Usopp there are Kaya, Usopp Pirates and Banchina. Both Nami and Usopp's eyes widen seeing tehri respective mothers alive and well in front of them.
"Bell-mere!" Nami whispered in shock.
"M-Mother!" Usopp muttered in shock as well.
"What are you most afraid of?" Both Bell-mere and Banchina asked Nami and Usopp respectively. Still confused and shock by their appearance they still answered.
"I'm afraid for the village safety, and need to pay Arlong to set them free." Nami said honestly
"I-I-I'm afraid of what's beyond my control, I tell lies because I want to be brave just like my father." Usopp hesitate in his answer.
"Is that really what your afraid of?" Bell-mere answered making Nami at Bell-mere who is shot by Arlong many years ago, "Of course that's why I'm afraid, why are you being heartless about this, you were shot by that bastard many years ago!" Nami covered her mouth in shock, not wanting this meeting to be ruined by anger and frustration. Seeing Bell-mere after many years made her heart jump with joy, but the way she's acting is like she doesn't care about her or the villagers safety. Nami then recollected herself realizing she's not here but some copy of someone she loved and cared.
"Are you that scared of the truth?" Banchina asked Usopp, when told by his mother he couldn't help but feel ashamed. When his mother died he always shouted "Pirates are coming" in hopes it would make her feel better. His father is a pirate, the best marksmen he knew at his village or is told at least. After many years from his mother's passing it become a habit at this point.
"What do you want outta life?" Both Genzo and Usopp Pirates asked Nami and Usopp. Both came to accept these people aren't here instead are somehow copies of people they care about. Whoever this voiceless being is will have to deal with them and have some personal chat from Nami's opinion.
"What I want, is to draw maps around the world." Nami answered Genzo staring suspiciously at him.
"I want to travel the seas and become the bravest warrior like my dad." Usopp said with pride, smiling as he thought about his dad.
"Is that so?" Genzo asked sounding cold to Nami, after this she hopes this was all some sick game someone tried to play on her. She hope when this is all over everything was some bad dream or she somehow was drug by some cheap shot pirate.
"Why does it matter if your brave warrior?" Usopp Pirates said together in sync, creeping Usopp out but found the reply insulting. Whoever made these copies didn't replica their heart and soul of the people he cares about. Sounding more like some heartless machine, he maybe scared but Usopp's more pissed at this being for copying people he loves and cares about for it's sick games.
"What's most important to you?" Both Nojiko and Kaya asked Nami and Usopp for the final time, getting this over with they answered.
"My family and friends." Ironic both Usopp and Nami said at the same time, catching themselves off guard by each other's response.
"Is it that important?" Both Nojiko and Kaya questioned.
Nami and Usopp are beginning to dislike this interaction. Nami then shouted upward, "What the heck is your problem, if your going to copy my sister's face or anyone else from my village at least have them act like them. I don't know what game your playing, but I'm not answering your question unless you face us!" Usopp tag in agreeing with Nami, "That's right, they are most precious people in our lives. I maybe scared, but I'll kick your arse for making fun of our friends and family like this!" For the first time in his life he actually is willing to fight without being a coward.
Maybe one day,
but others have to see you soon.

A group of people for hire by criminals that are station at Roanapur, small band of mercenaries willing to commit crimes by different organizations. Seeing this opportunity D'go went to test their skills and hired them for some task. Revy is only required since he wants them to earn his trust, afterwards they can travel with him around other worlds. This didn't go as plan since these people are unruly bunch, but they underestimated D'go and his natural skills. Leading to Revy who works as gunsman at the moment, though every now and then would attempt on murdering D'go for reasons unsaid.
Then there is King Dice, after what happen with the two brother Cuphead and Mugman. King Dice lost his boss(the Devil) when they beat him at his game, having no where else to turn D'go came in time to hire him for some personal job and will give the means for revenge if necessary. His ability to make contracts is past on thanks to his experience with his boss. Khan seems more of an enigma as he gave no reasons as to why or what his goals are about, except for the fact he has some personal vendetta against anything he deems inferior by his eyes and standards. GLADOS join because of peace for her experiments and will be offered test subjects when someone enters Castle Oblivion.
Little to no one's attention is Rei, the mysterious girl that belongs to Gendo. For what reasons is unknown, yet is still left unsaid until further notice. Together they make up the security forces of this fortress, once belonging to great keyblade wielders of this generation now in the hands of criminals who's own intention and desire will destroy other lives for their own goals. As they minded their own business a dark portal open alerting everyone since they can now sense the darkness. By first instincts Revy stood up and fire at the portal. But Yujiro went from behind Revy and attack someone in the shadows. D'go grab Yujiro with one hand and block his other hand then kneeing his chest with enough force to push him back. Finding her target Revy tried to shoot only for D'go to dodge her bullets with natural human strength, able to predict the bullets projection. With enough speed punch Revy few times then stop with his left foot front and right foot back. Then backfist Yujiro at his cheek and made strong punch towards Revy's stomach enough to clutch her stomach, falling on her knees. Yujiro recovered quick enough to strike using his kicks and some martial art moves with his hands. Sensing this, D'go drop forward, and interrupted Yujiro's plan of attack with both his legs like a horse kicking behind it. This hurled Yujiro falling on his back, both got up ready to attack once more.
As the two pause trying to measure each other up, Yujiro relax and smiled, "Humph, strong as ever I see and playing dirty as usually." Yujiro compliment and insulted him at the same time, "Thank you, but I didn't come here for such warm ups. Instead to inform of new recruits that will be station at Castle Oblivion." Everyone perk up hearing this, for Revy its recovery for that fight. D'go maybe some giant dude about 9 feet tall in black coat, but he's very strong for his stature.
"I hope there aren't as brutish as this beast. I'm actually tired of proving my strength against him." Khan arrogantly said even if Yujiro is in ears reach.
"Want to say that again, cause I remember I still have more wins then you, but then again your technique is sloppy as usually. instead of your that head of your why not make use of these equipment and train yourself." Yujiro mock Khan for his prowess, knowing they are somewhat evenly match, yet he still is greater then him.
"Actually you might enjoy these new guys. Unfortunately due to our latest recruit Aizen, I had to personally persuade him. He won't be joining due to his last actions as some backstabbing habits. But afterwards I will have him be here by the next year. Feist what are the reports of our findings?" D'go order as this Castle is being used for not only obtaining key elements for their plans, but also for something much hard to search.
Feist is D'go personal right hand man, someone that has serve by him like a brother. Feist wears blue armor with some sliver and black around his armor. His helmet is like motorcycle helmets in black visor, what makes him dangerous is his special ability he can use for multiple targets or certain situations. at the same time has develop survival skills when out in jungles and cities. Overall he's the number one guy D'go would suggest for very difficult if not impossible missions.
"The worlds needed for our task has quicken our plans much sooner then expected. Though I'm curious how this castle is able to manipulate not just memories of people, but worlds as a whole?" Feist knew this castle is special, but how it searches memories outside of people can be ridiculous at times.
"A little secret I pick up on, that and I have few tricks up my sleeves." D'go is being secretive about his methods once more, says it allows him better advantage if everyone didn't know his magic tricks.
"The list of people joining is on these paper, when they arrive will be random. But know they will be valuable if they prove themselves to join the organization. As such everyone here who has dedicated their time will be offered a seat for power, glory, and many opportunities beyond your imagination." He said to everyone, even if his hood covering his face, they know he's a man of his word, "So you guys better keep it safe until the task is done, of course if you proven yourself after sometime I will allow you to join our organization, but if anything happens... all of you are held responsible, am I clear Judge Doom." He glance at Doom who seemed unworried about this threat.
"But of course D'go, after working my way up I will never betray this organization or anyone for that matter." Doom said smiling as if playing innocent, D'go and Feist are no fools, but they need every able hand even if they are back stabbers. Sometimes finding people to work with are not easy at times.
"Alright, I'm going to check the Castle before I leave, everyone else... don't kill each other or I will know." D'go warned some of them who tried to look anywhere but him or simply don't care. once he left everyone went back to business as usual.
Dive to the Heart V
When everything started to clear away, everyone that is gathered glace at their new surroundings. Now all of them are together with white stain glass underneath without imagine or portraits. Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp and Sanji took one glance at everyone and knew they are experiencing the same thing somehow.
"You guys got force here too?" Usopp spoke first.
"Yeah, whoever this guy I like to beat the crap out of him." Zoro said, Nami shriek when Sanji moved towards Nami's side on his knees with hearts for eyes.
"Ah I never seen such beauty before in my life, if I was back at Baratie I would cook you a delicious meal. What's your name beautiful?" Sanji said creeping Nami out.
Usopp gave a deadpan stare at Sanji's behavior, "Is this how he acts all the time."
"Oh you can cook, make me something!" Luffy demanded, then he received a kick from Sanji, "Would you shut up Sh#$ty bas #rd."
"Why do I have the urge to cut you up just this instant." Zoro muttered, but is somehow heard from Sanji, "Huh, you want to say something." The two started to bicker at one another, Nami started to watch them interact and found herself smiling for some odd reason. She hasn't felt this since who knows when, if trying to pay Arlong about 100 million Beli to save her village. It almost felt like some dream watching these four interact with one another.
You have arrive.
Everyone stop what they were doing and listen to the nameless being.
Now that we have gathered,
Your final test begins,
for the destiny's future will rest on your hands.
The one responsible for this dark path,
is one far ancient and very powerful by his own right.
Before demanding what it means, everyone suddenly felt a chill running down their spine. Slowly they turned to face some strange figure in a black coat who stood in front of them. What amazed them most is how big is this guy maybe 7-8 feet or taller for that matter, while being big doesn't always scare people, what they are sensing is what truly terrified them most. Yet as they stare at this being they felt cold, hopelessness, and many dark thoughts started to appear.
"W-What is that?!" Nami stuttered to say.
KH1 OST - Disappeared:
Show me what you can achieve,
for the future to be saved,
you must defeat this being.
When saying they must defeat him, they wanted to question this voice. However the black coat figure made his move and launch some dark flames directing at Nami. She felt herself unable to move, ready to submit to her demise. But then in short seconds before the figure launch Luffy stood in front of Nami, raise his shield and block the attack. This force Luffy back as Nami got caught up, grabing Luffy from behind not realizing she's holding on for dear life.
"You okay?" Luffy asked making Nami blush for some reason at how caring he is despite the situation.
"Yea, what about you?" Luffy smiled and nodded as yes, "Names Luffy, I'm going to be king of the pirates." When he declared this everyone that heard are shock by Luffy's declaration. Before anyone could reply the BCF(Black Coat figure), ran towards Luffy and was about to punch him when Sanji kick the BCF at his head. he rolled on the side and stood up quickly to counter Sanji as he kick at the figure multiple times.
"How dare you attack a lady. I'll teach you some manners!" Sanji tried to kick BCF under his chin when he caught his leg and toss him aside. Zoro came from behind and tried to cut him using his two swords. However the BCF place two fist side by side and pulled apart to create some purple crude weapon made of crystal, then block Zoro's attack with little to no effort. He then grab Zoro and toss him upward. Once he came down the BCF punch Zoro at his chest launching at Sanji who already jump, unable to dodge as the two rolled back on top of each other. Luffy ran at the figure and tried to punch him only to be backside kick.
On the sidelines Usopp and Nami shake in fear as they didn't think they had to fight for their lives. This BCF stood out as someone they should run, but then Zoro slid right beside them as he stood once more.
"You two going to fight or what?" Zoro demanded ready to get back in only to try and have both Nami and Usopp to help. As much as he doesn't want to admit, they are being outmatch by this BCF power.
"Are you crazy! How do you expect us to fight someone like that?!" Usopp shouted now fearful for his life, wanting to hide in some deep hole away from all this.
"We don't have time for this, either you help us or we're-" Suddenly Zoro is flung back by Sanji's flying body crashing behind them. The two look to see the battle was not in their favor as Luffy tried punching the being who's twice his size. His shield kept on side covered but only for small time. The being then grab Luffy by the shirt and toss him towards the others. After seeing the three defeated he ran towards Usopp, on instinct Usopp fire one of his arrows that miss him by inches, yet still ran grabbing Usopp by his throat then toss him aside towards Nami who reacted in time to move. Nami didn't have time to react as the BCF kick her with enough force to nearly knock unconscious.
Before this being could attack once more, it had to block three attacks at once. Zoro jump on top reaching his height by few inches with Sanji kicking on the right and Luffy by the left. While Zoro's attack did nothing, Luffy and Sanji's strike around the stomach with much force as possible. When the three jump back after their team attack, Sanji charge along with Zoro and Luffy following behind. The BCF jump back towards the edge of the stain glass, then grab something from his coat's sleeve. Once he grab the item in question he toss it towards the ground, causing purple smoke to surrounded the area. This lead to the trio unprepared for the BCF counterattack, First was Luffy who couldn't keep up with his invisible blows from this smoke, Zoro couldn't swing quick enough as he tried to land his strikes on this individual, while Sanji felt this guy striking his stomach, face, back, chest and everything with strikes almost impossible to see.
When the smoke cleared up all three are on their stomachs trying to slowly get up. For Nami and Usopp being punch or kick like that hurt a lot, not always in combat since they usually use sneaky tricks to win or run from fights.
"What the heck is this guy? How we suppose to defeat a monster like him?!"
"No good, if we don't surrender we'll all die, and I don't on dying yet. I need that belis for everyone to be free."
"The old man is probably waiting for me, have to wake up somehow."
"How am I suppose to be world's greatest swordsman, if I can't beat this guy."
Before BCF could move away someone shouted, "Hold it." From behind Luffy seemed to have the will to stand more so then everyone else. All of them are amazed that Luffy has some strength yet to stand even in his condition.
"I don't know what's going on... but if we let you go... everyone is going to get hurt." Is all Luffy can say then charge at the BCF who seemed unfazed by Luffy's determination. As Luffy exchange blows to his stomach and defend against the counterattacks. The two seemed unaware by their surroundings as everyone watch in amazement at Luffy's ability to keep on going.
The time is not right
Luffy is kick once more, then got back up to charge at the BCF once more.
You fear what is the unknown
Usopp watch in shock and fear for Luffy he met starting to worry for his life.
Burden by guilt with rest
Nami slowly got up trying to think of another plan to save Luffy.
Unwillingness to let go scars
Sanji watch in frustration and almost disgust at Luffy's unyielding determination.
To weak to face greater challenge
Zoro stood as he slowly work his way towards Luffy and the BCF.
Your will is inefficient
Luffy is punch back landing on his backside, he look up to see the BCF standing over him ready to strike
You maybe not be strong enough now
But in the future, you will change people's destiny.
