Finally, after all these years, I finally finished the prologue arc!
Here is chapter 6. The voting is done and hope some got what they wanted. Also a thank you to Fox Boss, my co-author for his ideas.
Also, the poll results are in this chapter
I do not own Loud House or One Piece.
(Inside Lincoln's head)
"Thanks for the help, guys," said Lincoln smiling at the audience, "I'll go let them know right now."
(Campsite)
Lincoln woke up and saw that it was night, he groaned as he tried to sit up, seeing that he was patched up, he said, "I am getting really tired of waking up like this."
"Then stop getting yourself knocked out," said a voice behind him as Lincoln turned around and saw Ace.
"Geez, kid," said Garp as he approached, "You weren't kidding about needing the training."
"Yeah," said Lincoln, "And I'm going to need it even more now."
"What do you mean by that?" asked Ace curiously.
"Umm.." said Lincoln, "Well..."
(One story later)
"WHAT?!" shouted Luffy, Ace and Garp.
"Yeah," Lincoln said, now in his hybrid form, "I ate a devil fruit."
"Ugh," said Garp facepalming, "If I wasn't worried about how fragile you were, I would give you a fist of love right now!"
"That would be fair," said Lincoln changing back.
"You also ran into Bluejam?" ask Ace shocked.
"Yeah, I was surprised he survived as well," said Lincoln, "Maybe he just never had a reason to come back, or it could be something was supposed to happen to him out on at sea."
"Still," said Luffy pouting, "I can't believe you did that."
"Sorry captain," said Lincoln, "I had no choice, he would have just come looking for us anyway. After my family contacted me, there was no way I could keep it a secret."
"So now one of my grandson's future crewmates is going tumbling around in these woods with his now alive girlfriend trying to find you?" asked Garp with a deadpan expression.
"Pretty much," said Lincoln as Luffy looked at him annoyed, "But on the bright side, this could help our first mate and Kuina grow stronger, given everything that goes on in this jungle."
"I guess there's that," said Luffy pouting.
"Plus Luffy, even if they find Dandan's hut, what are the odds I will be there when they show up?" asked Lincoln with a smirk.
"And what do you mean by that?" asked Garp.
"I'll explain later," said Lincoln, "Right now I believe you have a side bet to keep?"
"Ugh, right!" said Garp facepalming.
"You mean..." said Luffy in joy.
Yep," said Lincoln smirking as he looked at Garp, "Since I made it back in half the time, you have to teach two of the Six Powers to each of us!"
"YES!" shouted Luffy as Garp groaned.
"What exactly are the Six Powers?" asked Ace.
"Oh, yeah what are they?" asked Luffy.
"Well, in Luffy language," Lincoln started, "They are mystery powers you can get but training your body to superhuman levels."
"Awesome," said Luffy with a smile.
"Okay, that's interesting," said Ace, "So what are they powers of this fighting style."
"Garp, can we give a demonstration?" asked Lincoln.
"Sure," said Garp with a deadpan as he got up.
"Here is what the Six Powers have to offer," said Lincoln as he gestured to Garp who was standing in front of a tree.
"Which one do you want me to show first?" asked Garp.
"The one I called before I passed out," said Lincoln.
"Alright," said Garp, he took a deep breath as Luffy and Ace watched, he then held out his finger shouted, "SHIGAN!"
To Luffy and Ace shock, Garps finger pierced the tree, leaving a finger sized hole in it as Lincoln explained, "Shigan, or the English dub of my country calls it, Finger Pistol, is move that allows the user pushes their finger into a certain target at a very high speed, leaving a wound similar to a bullet wound."
"And that's the move you called?" asked Luffy.
"Yeah, thought it would work with my talons," said Lincoln.
"Lucky," said Luffy sadly.
"Don't worry, the other five are just as good," said Lincoln as he turned to look at Ace, "In fact, Ace why don't you try hitting Garp now."
"What?" asked Garp confused until Lincoln mouthed the name of the two techniques he was talking about, "Oh, now I get it. Okay Ace try and hit me."
Ace ran over and threw a punch at Garp, who then said, "Kami-e"
Garp's body became flat and dodged Ace attack, Ace looked confused and kept throwing punches, but Garp's dodged it by bending in unnatural ways. This just made Ace more pissed off as he kept trying to hit Garp.
"Grandpa is flat?!" asked Luffy in shock.
"That is Kami-E, or Paper Arts. This power let the user make their body extraordinarily flexible in order to avoid any attacks. As well as float and bend their body like a piece of paper."
"Cool!" shouted Luffy.
Just then they heard a howl of pain, they turned and looked at Ace, who now blowing on a swollen red hand and even tearing up as Garp looked down with a smug look as Lincoln asked, "So I'm guessing you used Tekkai, huh?"
"Yes, I did," said Garp picking his nose.
"Tekkai?" asked Luffy and a teary-eyed Ace.
"Yes, also known as Iron Body, this technique hardens the users' muscles to the level of iron, which can nullify damage from an opponent's attack."
"Awesome!" said Luffy starry eyed.
"Yeah," said Ace sarcastically, still blowing on his hand, "Awesome."
"But that's not all," said Lincoln as he pointed to a tree, "Garp if you would."
"No problem," said Garp cracking his knuckles as he walked to the tree.
Garp pulled his hand back and threw a punch at the tree with a shout of, "Tekkai!"
The tree was then sent soaring into the air until it was out of sight. Luffy and Ace dropped their mouths and looked at Garp, probably now even more scared of him then before.
"Depending on the users' physical conditions, Tekkai can also be used to enhance attacks as well," said Lincoln.
"Awesome!" said Luffy in excitement as Ace looked amazed, but still tearing a bit from the pain.
"Now comes the ones involving the legs," said Lincoln.
"The legs?" asked Luffy and Ace.
Lincoln motioned for Garp to show them, Garp nodded and said, "Soru!"
Just then Garp disappeared causing Luffy to cry, "He's gone!"
"What?! How?!" asked Ace.
"What are you guys talking about?" asked Lincoln jokingly, then pointing to their right, "He's right over there."
Luffy and Ace turned and saw Garp looking smug as Lincoln, "That was Soru, or Shave, allows the user to move insanely fast to avoid attacks and attack at that speed as well. Even more fascinating, it can all be done just by kicking the ground ten times in less than a second."
Luffy started getting stars in his eyes seeing, Ace looked in bewilderment, though they both looked shocked as Garp seemed to be flying as he said, "Geppo."
"He's flying?!" shouted Luffy and Ace.
"No," said Lincoln, "He is using a move called Geppo, or Moonwalk/Skywalk, to kick in the air in order to float in the sky."
Luffy seems to be in excitement overload while Ace just looks bewildered, then Lincoln looked up and said, "Okay Garp, show them the last one."
"Will do," said Garp as he pulled his leg back and shouted, "Rankyaku!"
Garp then launched his foot forward and a slicing wind formed and launched to some trees cutting them all down. Luffy at this pointed fainted from awesomeness while Ace remained frozen in place...until Garp came down and hit them on the heads to snap them out of it.
"Pay attention, you damn brats!" shouted Garp.
As Luffy and Ace groaned, Lincoln explained, "Rankyaku, or Tempest Kick, where the user kicks so fast and so strong they can create a slicing wind."
"AWESOME!" shouted Luffy, "and we get to learn them all?"
"No, only two each," said Lincoln.
"Did you two honestly think I would teach all six to the three of you knowing you would become pirates?" said Garp with a deadpan.
"It's true," said Lincoln, "In order to get him to actually agree to the deal, I had to promise he could only learn two powers each."
Luffy wilted but Ace was about to say something until Lincoln said, "And I gave him my word that we wouldn't teach the powers we chose to each other."
Ace closed his mouth as Luffy groaned, "No fair! I want to learn all the cool mystery powers!"
"Not happening, brat!" said Garp laughing.
Luffy groans and grumbles, "No fair."
"Sorry, Captain," said Lincoln, "But on the plus side I believe I know which powers would work with us best."
"Oh yeah, which ones?" asked Ace with a raised eyebrow.
"Well for one, I think Luffy should learn Tekkai," said Lincoln.
"Why?" asked Luffy.
"Well, you know how you can't protect yourself from sharp stuff with a rubber body?" asked Lincoln trying to speak Luffy.
"Yes," said Luffy with a nod and a look of indifference.
"Well with the mystery power of Tekkai, how would they be able to stab you?" asked Lincoln with a sneaky look.
"Oh," said Luffy hitting his palm with his fist in realization, "That's right."
"Yes, also I would recommend Kami-E for you as well," said Lincoln.
"Why?" asked Luffy and Ace.
"Because one, your made of rubber, it would be the easiest one for you to learn," said Lincoln, "Two... spoilers!"
Luffy covers his ears, as Lincoln says, "And three, because Tekkai has a limit to the damage it can take, so it would also be good to dodge stabbing weapons as well."
"Oh, that makes sense," said Luffy once again hitting the palm his hand with a fist, "Okay, I will learn Tekkai and Kami-E."
Ace and Garp just looked at Luffy in shock before turning to look at Lincoln who just looked back and said, "What?"
"You were able to talk Luffy into something?! What the hell are you?!" shouted Ace and Garp at the same time.
"A Man with a Plan!" said Lincoln proudly.
"Then it's official," said Luffy having everyone turn to him, "You're going to be my crew's Man with plan!"
"You were strategist?" asked Ace.
Luffy thought for a moment then said with a smile, "Nah, man with plan is better."
"Agreed," said Lincoln with a smirk.
"So, what about me?" asked Ace.
"Wait," said Lincoln in shock, "You want me to decide for you?"
"You choose some good ones for Luffy, so why not?" asked Ace.
"Okay," said Lincoln, "In that case I recommend these ones because they will help you out with your Devil Fruit."
"Hey, no spoilers!" shouted Luffy.
"He just said that I'd get a Devil Fruit, he didn't say which one," said Ace.
There are hundreds of different kinds of fruits, so it could be any one brat," said Garp.
"Plus, I only said I wouldn't spoil your adventure, not Ace's," said Lincoln.
Luffy pouted and said, "Alright."
"Okay Ace, for you I recommend Soru and Geppo," said Lincoln.
"Why?" asked Ace.
"Well," Lincoln started, "Geppo because it will keep you from easily falling into the water and help you get around in a slightly more subtle way."
"And he needs all the subtle he can get," said Garp with a smirk.
"Hey!" said Ace.
"As for Soru," Lincoln started, "Just in case an enemy comes at you with a counter your fruit you could dodge more easily."
Ace thinks for a moment and then says, "Okay those are the ones I will learn."
"And I guess that means alongside Shigan, you want to learn Rankyaku?" Garp asked Lincoln.
"Yes," said Lincoln, "I'm going to be a flyer, so might as well have a ranged attack."
"Well then, that's good to hear," said Garp cracking his knuckles, "Cause as soon as you're better...you're training begins."
"Wait! I have more to tell you!" said Lincoln.
"No spoilers!" said Luffy.
"Not you, Garp!" said Lincoln.
"Good, you can tell me while we train," said Garp looking down with a crazy smile.
Lincoln just gulps and thinks, 'I'm in trouble.'
(Six months later)
We see Lincoln on the ground with bruises, black eye and was panting in exhaustion. We see he also has a chipped tooth as well; his hair is blown back like when Lynn burped in his face during her competition spree.
"You know what? I miss training with Lynn," said Lincoln as he lay on the ground groaning in pain, "My everything hurts! I feel close to death! And I am not sure I have enough liquid to even cry...so yeah an average Garp training day."
He then turns his head to the audience, "These past six months have been insane, from Grandpa Garps' training..."
(Garp training 1)
We see Lincoln run screaming as monkeys chase him, as Garp, Luffy and Ace watch on.
"C'mon Lincoln stand and fight them!" shouted Garp.
"I don't have the strength for that yet!" said Lincoln.
"And you never will if you keep running!" said Garp.
"Okay that's a low," Lincoln started before the Monkey grabbed him and threw him into the air.
"Well, at least he's getting some flying training in," said Ace as watched.
(Garp training 2)
We see Luffy, Ace and Lincoln running on a beach, but Lincoln is falling behind. He falls the ground panting in exhaustion until he heard, "Move it, Bird boy!"
Lincoln turned around and saw Garp running at him with a fist of love armed and ready. Lincoln screamed and resumed running as fast as he could past Luffy and Ace. Those two were confused until they heard a thundering behind them, and they also saw Garp. They picked up the pace to catch up with Lincoln.
(Garp Training 3)
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" said Lincoln as he swung through the trees.
"See he gets it," said Luffy.
"Ugh!" Ace groaned.
"Watch out for that tree!" said Garp.
"You can stop that quote," said Lincoln not watching, "I know I told you about Geroge of the Jungle but-
Just then Lincoln crashed into a tree leaving an imprint in it as the Monkey men and Roger's son winced at the impact as Lincoln fell to the ground with an "Ow!"
"How do you feel now...George?" asked Garp smugly.
"If I could feel my anything, I would be giving you the finger, Grandpa," said Lincoln.
(End of Garp training montage)
"...To moving into Dadan place and telling her, Makino and the Mayor about me..." Lincoln continued
(After they came back from the camping trip)
"You've got to be kidding me!" shouted a tall, overweight middle-aged woman with long, orange, curly hair and a big, masculine face. She was also wearing a white-collar shirt, a pink beaded necklace, checkered trousers held up by a large belt, and heeled boots.
"No, you are taking this kid in, or I squeal Dadan!" said Garp.
"I am getting really tired of that excuse," Dadan said.
"There is another reason," said Garp, "But Lincoln will tell you when the Mayor and Makino come."
"So, his name is Lincoln and what is this secret?" asked Dadan suspiciously.
"You will see when the Mayor and Makino get here," said Lincoln.
"Why? Don't trust me?" asked Dadan.
"Actually, I just don't want to say this three times," said Lincoln.
Dadan pondered for a bit then said, "Alright, I guess that's fair but the instance they get here you're explaining!"
"Promise," said Lincoln, "Also given your families drunken squealing I do ask that you keep it a secret from them."
Dadan was about to defend them but then thought about it and said, "Okay that's fair."
After a few days and having to fight over food at Dadan's place, Makino and the Mayor arrived, and Lincoln told them everything and to be expected they didn't believe him.
"You honestly expect us to believe that you're from a world where Luffy's tale is a comic book?" asked the mayor not believing what he is hearing.
"I believe you have a good imagination at least," said Makino with a smile.
"No, I'm telling you the truth," said Lincoln.
"Prove it!" said Dadan.
Lincoln looked at Dadan with a smug look and said, "So you're telling me you didn't sneak into the boy's treehouse with the intent to tuck them in because they looked cold, and in doing so set off a trap?"
"That was you!" shouted Ace and Luffy.
Dadan blushed and had a wide-eyed look at Lincoln, then said, "I'm...going to get a drink."
Dadan then walked away as the mayor looked shocked at this, while Makino giggled until Lincoln said, "And am I to assume Makino you really didn't have 'fun' with Shanks?"
Makino then blushed beat red and looked at Lincoln in shock and then...she fainted. The mayor screamed in shock at the site, then Lincoln said, "And as for you."
Lincoln then pulled a manga out from behind his back and showed him the page of the mayor bowing to the bandits, in perfect artistic form, "This is you, isn't it?" Lincoln asked.
"Wait for me, Dadan!" shouted the mayor as he ran after Dadan, leaving Lincoln alone with Luffy and Ace.
"Well, they took that pretty well," said Lincoln.
"How was that pretty well?" asked Ace.
"Because only one fainted," said Lincoln.
"He's right," said Luffy laughing.
Ace just facepalmed at that and went to try and wake up Makino.
(Present)
"...Also with my families worries of my training and Grandpa Garp..." Lincoln continued, "...mainly Grandpa Garp...trying to teach me how to fly."
(Reaction to flight attempt 1)
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" Lincoln screamed as he fell through the air towards the ground as he flapped his wings trying to fly.
"LINCOLN!" his family cried as he crashed into the ground.
"Are you ok?!" shouted Leni.
"I'm fine, I broke the fall with my face," Lincoln groaned.
"These are some 'Wile-E.' training tricks, hahahaha get it?" said Luan.
Lola then tackles Luan and starts to strangle here, "You think this is funny?!" shouted Lola.
"What else is going to keep me from going crazy," Luan gagged as she was chocked.
(Reaction to flight attempt 2)
"A CANNON?!" shouted Rita as the family watched in shock as Garp put Lincoln inside.
"Yep," said Garp as he lit the fuse.
"Lincoln get out of there now!" shouted Lynn Sr.
"Sorry Dad, but I think it's too-" the cannon fired as Lincoln was shot into the sky screaming "LATE!"
"LINCOLN!" they all cried!
"Relax," said Garp, "Zoans are tough, he'll survive."
"He's still a kid!" shouted Rita.
"Fine, I'll do something simpler," said Garp picking his nose.
(Reaction to flight attempt 3)
"THIS IS SIMPLER?!" the Louds shouted as Garp put Lincoln in a catapult.
"Easy...There is no gun powder in this," said Garp as he pulled the switch and sent Lincoln flying.
Lily picked up Lisa's wrench and threw it at the portal to Garp, Garp clutched his head and turned to Lily who just blew and raspberry at him...and Garp did the same thing.
'I honestly can't tell who is more childish,' thought Lori then they all heard an impact.
"Opps," said Garp as the Loud family looked dumbfounded by the fact Lincoln had hit a cliff wall, "Looks like I forgot to turn the catapult away from the wall."
(Reactions end)
...Needless to say, my family has to restrain themselves...and others from running through the portal...to kill Garp," Lincoln continued, "...Though they did stop after one incident...involving the Casagrandes..."
(Incident)
"I don't believe it," said Maria in shock as the Casagrandes and Louds looked the same.
"It's not possible!" cried Frida.
"But it is!" said Carl.
The scene before them was one even Lincoln thought he would never see. An inch from Garp's face was the tip of Rosa's chancla...that he had caught. Rosa looked dumfounded. She threw at Garp to discipline him for the way he trained Lincoln, but even her chancla was useless.
"I'll be honest," said Garp, "If I was a second late, it would have struck me, but if this was from my wife it WOULD have hit me...and she is the only one that can!"
Garp throws the chancla back and a dumbfounded Rosa catches it as Garp continues, "So as such I raise and train my grandchildren how I see fit and trust me the next time you throw that at me, you better make sure I'm a second slow...or I will throw it back...hard!"
(Incident end)
...Yeah, that was...a crazy day," Lincoln said, "As well...as when my friends...found out where I was..."
(Friends reaction)
"Oh my god, that is amazing!" shouted Rusty
"Rusty!" shouted Zach, "It may be cool, but he is away from us and will be for over a decade!"
"Yeah, but I'm not worried," said Rusty smoothly.
"How can you say that?" asked Sid.
"Because it's Lincoln," said Rusty, "If anyone can survive this he can!"
"Still Lincoln could be feeling more out of place than a swan in a duck pond," said Liam.
Clyde, Lincoln, Luffy and Ace watch the debate moving their heads to the person talking as it went on, even Ace asked, "How long do you think they can keep this up."
"I have no idea," said Lincoln as Luffy laughed at how silly Lincoln's friends were.
(Friends reaction end)
"While...they were...happy to...meet...Luffy and Ace...they debated...whether or not...I could...survive here..." said Lincoln, "But...the most awkward...was when Sid...found out...
(Sid's reaction)
"Oh my god!" said Sid as she watched on in excitement, "That is the biggest and most awesome crocodile I have ever seen! The Manga does not do it justice!"
"Are you forgetting that fact that it is trying to eat Lincoln, Luffy and Ace?!" shouted Ronnie Anne.
"Yeah!" shouted Ace as he chased the crocodile that Lincoln was running from in his hybrid form trying to fly, "So how about you call us back!"
"No, I want to keep watching," said Sid, "I should have brought Adelaide."
Ronnie Anne just facepalms as Luffy laughs.
(Sid's reaction end)
"With all this...overall...it's been...rough," said Lincoln finishing his discussion, "Though...I do...feel myself...getting stronger...that's good...at least..."
"Who are you talking to?" asked Ace.
"Sorry..." said Lincoln turning to Luffy and Ace, "It's just...a thing I do..."
"Well I find it cool," said Luffy.
"But if you're doing that why not also bring up your sister's inventions?" asked Ace.
Oh...yeah," said Lincoln.
(Lisa talk)
"Be honest Lisa," Lincoln said, "How many of your inventions fell in?"
"I honestly have no idea," said Lisa sadly, "I haven't had time to run inventory since I'm trying to see if I can find a cure for your devil fruit and move up the wait list."
"Well in any case, when you get a number let me know," said Lincoln, "Luffy and I, as well as the rest of the crew will keep an eye out for them."
"And Morag and Ryan?" asked Lisa nervously.
"I have no idea," said Lincoln sadly, "Given they fell through the time stream before I even reached Luffy, Ace and Garp's camping trip they could be anywhere and might have more experience here as well."
"Please be careful," said Lisa pleadingly.
"I'll try," said Lincoln, "And as a Straw Hat...that is all I can promise."
(Lisa Talk end)
"We'll find your sister's inventions when we set sail and if Morag and Ryan get in our way, we'll kick their asses!" said Luffy slamming a fist into his palms.
"And I'll keep an eye out when I start my journey," said Ace.
"Thanks guys," said Lincoln with a smile but thought, 'Still why do I have a bad feeling of where they ended up.'
(On a pirate ship)
On a certain pirate ship, the crew sails and enjoys their time, when suddenly something falls out of the sky and hits the boat causing everyone to freak out. Thankfully it doesn't put a hole in the boat, but at the center the pirate crew sees a set of boots.
(Marine base)
Another object falls out of the sky and crashes in the courtyard, a buff marine comes forward and sees a set of boomerangs.
(Forest)
In the middle of a forest, someone approached what seemed to be metal tentacles with a cannon attached to them.
(Bamboo)
Caught in a set of bamboo seemed to be a set of metal wings.
(Kingdom)
In the Kingdom, a pair of gauntlets lay on the ground surrounded by sunflowers.
(In a Desert)
Partially hidden in the said, was a long tail connected to a pack.
(At an abandoned research facility)
In a lab, there lay two guns, one glowing blue-white, the other red-orange.
(In a dark forest)
Jeff's body lay in a clearing, as the wind blew.
(At a certain orphanage)
Ryan lay in a bed. Having been found unconscious outside last night, the head of the orphanage brought him in and patched him up. That day though some people showed up.
(At a certain pirate town)
Morag started coming to, as she looked around, she saw she was in an alleyway and heard noises nearby. She walked out to investigate.
Finally done. Found my motivation, to finish this chapter at least. Once again I thank Fox Boss for his ideas and I hope you all like this chapter...and pray for Lincoln XD
Also to avoid this Ryan does not know about One Piece, but only because I don't think Lincoln can plan around that, especially with Akainu in the marines.
