"You know, we might have some problems/ Finding the zombies that have our shadows." - Zoro
"Yeah…! And Really, Luffy's zombie is huge! It's at least twice the size of normal giants! I don't think that we should be fighting it." - Chopper
"We don't have to look for our zombies! Even though i want to see mine." - Luffy
"What are you talking about? We can't step into the sun like this." - Zoro
"Yeah, but… That zombie old man told us that if we beat Gecko Moria, we'll all get our shadows back!" - Luffy
"... He did say that… Touche." - Sanji
* Luffy might not show it but when it comes to crucial moments Luffy knows exactly what to do. "Sanji, you go save Nami!" - Luffy
"Heck yeah! I'll kick his invisible butt to the other side of this fog! You're not getting married today!" - Sanji
"I forgot to say this but the invisible guy also took a long look at Nami while he was taking a shower." - Usopp
* Sanji is now literally on fire. You're kind of curious how much more he can heat himself.
"I'm going with Sanji! I feel responsible for Nami being taken before my eyes." - Usopp
"I'm worried about the skeleton so I'm going there!" - Franky
"I'll go with you, Franky. I Want to see the legendary Samurai's Zombie." - Zoro
"Nami and the skeleton, those two are our immediate problems… and then, the key to winning this is to beat Moira." - Robin
"You guys say it like it's really easy. But we're talking about one of the 7 warlords here!" - Chopper
"It's fine. He's basically the same as Crocodile, right?" - Luffy
"You almost died! Can you please take better care of yourself!? And we keep saying it but your zombie is huge!" - Chopper
* Usopp passes everyone salt bags.
"You people have no sense of danger, so I'm telling you right now! We have until dawn as our time limit!" - Usopp
"You're right! Let's go make Gecko Moria regret.. Ever picking a fight with us!" - Luffy
"We'll get twice our food back before dawn!" - Luffy
* With that you all start charging back towards the castle. With Zoro and Franky going towards Perona's room downstairs while everyone else goes to Moira's dance hall upstairs.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
* Things go smoothly as Luffy, Sanji, Zoro, and Franky are plowing through the zombies without the salt so far.
"Where's Moria!? Give me back my food!" - Luffy
"Which one of you pieces of shit… was peeking at Nami-san?!" - Sanji
"I guess we don't need the salt for now. They're filled to the brim with anger, eh?" - Usopp
* Shortly after though Luffy and Sanji are depressed on the floor. It's the ghosts that you saw earlier.
"Oh… no..!" - Robin
"What?! What happened?" - Usopp
"I want to be a mosquito larva…" - Luffy
"My eye-brow is too twirly… I should die right now…" - Sanji
* The zombies quickly catch Luffy and Sanji who aren't resisting against them. Usopp and Chopper are keeping the two from being captured.
"The ghosts! They make you depressed by touching you! We don't know how to reverse it or deal with them…" - Robin
* You tell them that you can deal with the ghosts.
"You can?!" - Usopp
* You tell Chopper and Usopp to grab those two while you deal with them.
"Okay!" - Chopper/Usopp
* Usopp, Chopper carrying Luffy and Sanji along with Robin start to head stand your ground stopping the ghosts in the tracks. You steel yourself in determination and expel it outwards. The ghosts screech and all explode in place. You turn around to run up the stairs but just as you begin the entire stair crumbles and is destroyed with a loud crash. You see something extremely big and pink blocking anything else you see. It must be Luffy's Zombie. As the building pieces fall to the floor, you quickly jump through the stones falling down trying to make it to where the others are. You make it to the top and see that Luffy, Chopper and Robin are safe.
"Frisk! You're safe!" - Chopper
* You ask what happened to Usopp and Sanji.
"They fell! Do we keep going?" - Chopper
"Yeah! They'll be fine!" - Luffy
XXXXXXXXXXXX
The group start running towards the dance hall. At the dance hall, a round man and a zombie woman are blocking the way.
"Hogback…!" - Chopper
"So that's Dr. Hogback…!" - Robin
"That's the guy who was with Moria! Do I kick his ass too?!" - Luffy
"Hold on, Luffy! I want you to leave him to me. You see the door right there? That's the freezer! Go there first with Frisk!" - Chopper
"...! You got it!" - Luffy
"Nu… How rude… to demand to see Moria-sama!" - Dr. Hogback
"Cindry-chan! Get them!" - Hogback
Cindry starts to throw plates towards Luffy as he run towards the freezer but Robin stops Cindry with her throwing them further.
"Go right ahead, Luffy." - Robin
Luffy went through the freezer unscathed. It's revealed that used to be someone Chopper admired.
"I'm disappointed! I won't regard you as a doctor!" - Chopper
"Oh… I didn't recognize you, Dr. Chopper. So you're a Zoan-type, i see… I thought you were just a weird creature. I'm not letting you guys go this time… Or how about you become a zombie right now after this one kills you…" - Hogback
A zombie appears that is wielding three swords. It must have Zoro's shadow. Zoro's zombie charges immediately toward Robin and Chopper. Frisk block's the blade with your frying pan. His attack's are heavy. Frisk continues blocking the blows and soon Robin is able to quickly help Frisk by binding him with her arms. However, he has enough strength to shake her bind off. However, that is enough time for you to put salt balls inside the Zombie's mouth. The Zombie quickly collapses as the shadow is returning back to its previous owner. Frisk and Robin do a high five.
"Give it up Hogback! Your horrific experiment ends now!" - Chopper
"You… You stupid reindeer! I am giving them life… It's a miracle! Where is the meaning in denying those lives?!" - Hogback
"Look!" - Hogback
Hogback kicks Cindry to the floor.
"Well! Lick the floor, Cindry." - Hogback
"Yes, Hogback-sama." - Cindry
Cindry starts to lick at the floor.
"..." - Frisk
"These useless zombies are loyal only to their commands. Even the usually rebellious Cindry-chan is like this when I give it an order." - Hogback
"I joined my master Gecko Moria out of one condition. That he must bring Cindry back to life! By stealing her corpse, I easily obtained an obedient actress Cindry. I didn't care for the character of the girl who had rejected me! If only I had that beauty…!" - Hogback
"This is the zombie Cindry-chan! I'm happy, and I'm sure she must be too… because she can once again live as a human in this world!" - Hogback
"... How is she "human"!? Make her stop doing that! A human whose heart and body aren't connected isn't a human anymore! Using corpses that can't say a thing… You are just creating monsters! For every zombie you make, you leave a human in misery! Because I understand that, I can't allow you to do this!" - Chopper
Chopper jumped towards Cindry grabbing both of her arms.
"You…!" - Cindry
Cindry smashes plates on top of Chopper's head and starts to resist.
"Chopper!" - Robin
"Fos Fos Fos, don't make light of her because she's a woman! I've increased her physical strength for combat purposes!" - Hogback
"You don't have to listen to what that person says…!" - Chopper
"I'll kill you!" - Cindry
Cindry does multiple kicks to Chopper's stomach trying to make Chopper let go but Chopper only grips harder in determination.
"I pity you…! You are already dead! How would your family feel if they knew about this?" - Chopper
"...! Let go of my hand…!" - Cindry
"Your wounds were patched up horribly…You were turned up into a soldier…! Your relatives won't be able to bear it!" - Chopper
"The "Heart" you were born and raised with is already dead. Your body is being controlled by the words of a single man. What on earth is that!?" - Chopper
"You doubt your eyes!? Acknowledge it! This is Mankind's Eternal Dream! Humans can be Rev-Ugh?!" - Hogback
Robin shut Hogback's mouth with her devil fruit with her mouth. It's not worth it listening to this man.
"Humans…. HUMANS HAVE MORE FREEDOM! HOW IS THIS TREATING THEM AS HUMANS!" - Chopper
"...!" - Cindry
Tears start to fall off of Cindry's face Surprising everyone.
"The tears just keep falling…! My body… can't move…" - Cindry
"You could let her go Chopper." - Frisk
"Are you sure…?" - Chopper
"Trust me." - Frisk
As Chopper let Cindry go backing off, she just stood in place crying. Frisk started to walk up towards Cindry.
"It's just as if the owner of the body is resisting…" - Robin
"... Although the person died 10 years ago… Does that mean a soulless body… has a will too…?" - Chopper
"Huuu…. Ha! Ha! I… Will… Kill… You…!" - Cindry
As Frisk got closer and closer, Cindry lifted more plates against Frisk looking as if she is going to attack Frisk with that. Robin freed her arms from Hogback about to use it on Cindry to tie her up.
"Yes, that's right! YOu finally regained your sanity Cindry-Chan! Enough with the fake tears! Buy me more time until I manage to escape!" - Hogback
"Unfortunately… We imagined some kind of miracle. Doce-" - Robin
"Wait Robin." - Frisk
"But Frisk….!" - Robin
Frisk smiled at Robin having her back down just out of trust.
Frisk stood right in front of Cindry looking up at her. Cindry swinged her plates towards Frisk.
"Frisk!" - Robin/Chopper
There was no shattering sound of the plate. Cindry stopped her motion just as it was about to hit Frisk.
"It's okay… You're in pain right? Let me help you…" - Frisk
Cindry dropped her plate causing it to shatter. Frisk gently clasped Cindry's hand together. Cindry fully relaxed with only tears dropping from her eyes.
"... You know… I have a friend… He's just like you… His name is Asriel." - Frisk
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING CINDRY YOU STUPID ZOMBIE! KILL HER AND OB-" - Hogback
Crack
Hogback's words were immediately cut off as Chopper broke Hogback's jaw with a punch. Hogback in pain and confusion just looked back at Chopper. Robin promptly shut Hogback's jaw up ignoring the pained cry he made from his broken jaw.
"You will not….! Ruin this moment!" - Chopper
"He's the nicest guy who would do the goofiest stuff… He's incapable of hurting a fly… However, he passed away because of mean people. When he died… He was also experimented on and also came back to life…
"...!" - Chopper/Robin
"When he was revived…He felt nothing. Nothing mattered to him as he couldn't feel joy, happiness, or Love… He became physically incapable of feeling it. Because he couldn't feel anything positive… He figured that he might as well hurt people because that gave a sick twisted joy. However… No matter how many times he did that, he was never truly happy." - Frisk
Frisk hugged Cindry. Cindry didn't resist. Frisk opened her mouth with a shaky voice.
"It's been …lonely right? All these years? You are suddenly awake… and you can't feel any positive emotions anymore… You don't even know who or what you are anymore… And the worst part is you can't go back to the good old days anymore…" - Frisk
Tears fell from Frisk's face like a waterfall.
"Why… Are you crying….?" - Cindry
"Because you've been in pain for so long. No one helped you while you were in so much pain… and for that… I'm sorry…!" - Frisk
A miracle happened with Cindry stroking Frisk's hair gently as Frisk was the one now crying.
"No amount…. No amount of research of all the libraries in the world would be able to explain this…" - Robin
The moment was ruined though a little while after as Luffy's giant zombie barged in, breaking the building down.
"Lu… Luffy's Zombie!" - Chopper
"The floor is collapsing! Chopper! Frisk! Come here!" - Robin
Chopper made it but Frisk was about to fall. However, Cindry grabbed Frisk and threw Frisk towards Chopper grabbing Frisk's t-shirt with his mouth
"Hogback and Cindry both fell to the floor beneath!" - Chopper
"Ugh..! Ahh!" - Hogback
Hogback made noises towards Cindry with him crushed under the stone that fell on him but Cindry ignored it. Luffy's Zombie was about to crush both Cindry and Hogback.
"AGHHH!" - Hogback
In the final moments, Cindry looked up at where Frisk, Robin and Chopper were. She made the most beautiful smile just like when she was alive and while they couldn't hear what Cindry said, they could tell what she said with her mouth motion.
Thank you
With that, Cindry and Hogback couldn't be seen with Luffy's Zombie blocking everything with his step. Before Frisk left hurriedly to join Robin and Chopper to see what was going on, she left a golden flower with a small memo.
May you find peace.
