Hello, guys! Here is the first chapter of Grand War Chronicles! Luffy, Blizzard, Ichigo, Tatsumi, Kuroko and Nagisa reunite with their close friends and family to discover why are they're on Planet Earth and their purpose. Enjoy!
Chapter 1 - A Crew Reunited
Unknown Land
In a strange dimension full of decay and death, a large lone figure was sitting on their empty throne recently seeing footage of Luffy and his new friends dominating against Lucci and Hordy by some form of strange magic.
"Aw, well. They played their part well." The figure said, revealing the voice to be male.
"But that's merely a prelude of what's to come." The figure added.
Standing up, though his figure was covered in the shadow of his throne, both his hands revealed one of light and one of darkness in some kind of energy.
"Zehahaha. See you soon, Straw Hat." The figure said.

It was a bright and early morning for any person to either sleep later or wake up now. In the case of the young boy, he was bright and early while his parents and supposedly younger twin sister sound asleep.
Carefully, he tiptoed from his bedroom down to the dining room right near the kitchen to hopes his new "guests" didn't make a racket.
To his surprise, he sees Tatsumi and Nagisa playing a game of UNO, Blizzard is laying on the floor, and Ichigo keeping Luffy occupied from eating the family's food by giving him Frosted Flakes cereal with almond milk.
"I see you guys made yourselves at home." The boy said.
"Well, we had to keep Luffy-san from making noise and eating up all your food in return for your hospitality." Nagisa explained.
"Well I'm hungry." Luffy said, while also chewing on some cereal.
"Eat first. Then talk." Blizzard, Ichigo and the girl said in unison, annoyed.
"UNO." Nagisa declared, having only one card left to win.
Tatsumi whistled in defeat. "You're good."
"Not bad yourself for a first timer." Nagisa commented.
"By the way - who are you?" Ichigo asked, referring to the young boy.
"My name's Sam Spartan." Sam introduced.
"You can call me Monkey D. Luffy." Luffy said, finishing his cereal.
"Blizzard here is my buddy." Luffy added, pointing to his trusty guard dog.
Blizzard raised his head and nodded.
Sam sheepishly waved.
"I'm Ichigo Kurosaki." Ichigo said.
"Call me Tatsumi." Tatsumi said.
"And I'm Nagisa Shiota." Nagisa said.
"Hey, there's only five of you. Where is the sixth that was hear last night?" Sam asked.
"Right here." Kuroko said, appearing in front of Sam with a DASANI water bottle in his hand.
Everyone immediately freaked out because of Kuroko's "lack of presence".
"HOW DOES HE DO THAT?!" Luffy, Blizzard, Ichigo, Tatsumi, Nagisa and Sam thought in unison.
"A-Anyway… can I ask how did you guys get here?" Sam asked, trying to shake off his initial surprise earlier.
The five heroes were pondering on that factor with so many questions to mind.
Nagisa suddenly got a ring on his smartphone and took it out of his pocket. He looked at some kind of text which earned a soft smile.
Meet up at 16 Shoreview Ln. Now.
"Hey, guys. I've got an address we need to get to." Nagisa called out.
"Is it legit?" Tatsumi questioned, not sure how even "technology" works in a message like that. Nagisa face palmed.
"I'm pretty sure it is." Kuroko said.
"Does this mean you guys are leaving?" Sam asked.
"Don't worry. We'll see you again soon." Ichigo said.
"Thanks for the food." Luffy said.
"Good grief." Blizzard said.

16 Shoreview Ln, Danbury
Once leaving Sam's house quietly, they used a GPS through Nagisa's phone and calculated that it would take 16 minutes to get their destination (by mostly car).
Without warning, Luffy took Blizzard, Ichigo, Tatsumi, Kuroko and Nagisa, doing the same Gum-Gum Rocket stunt from yesterday to get there very fast in a few seconds. The others weren't thrilled for going through that a third time in a row and made a note to beat the living daylights out of Luffy later.
Luckily, they managed to reach their destination. To their collective surprised expressions, they are standing in front of a 4-floor estate/mansion hybrid with a driveway on the front, and a large backyard with a huge balcony at the back of the estate with a 16-person table with chairs and a sun umbrella, stairs connecting the balcony to the bottom, a large playground, and even a nearby port all the way down to the lake with a very familiar ship docked to it.
"Now that's big." Tatsumi commented.
"Woah…" Luffy said, in awe.
"C'mon. Let's see if anyone's here." Kuroko said, being the first to walk around.

In the large backyard behind the house, , there were lots of people who are very much the friends/companions/comrades-in-arms/"family" of Luffy, Blizzard, Ichigo, Tatsumi, Kuroko and Nagisa: Luffy's fellow Straw Hat Pirates Roronoa Zoro, Usopp, Tony Tony Chopper, Nico Robin, Franky, Brook, and Luffy's younger half-sister Monkey D. Aika (in her wolf pup form) and her Akita pup Kumi; Ichigo's fellow Soul Reaper comrades Rukia Kuchiki and Renji Abarai, Quincy Uryu Ishida, fellow humans with powers Orihime Inoue and Yasutora "Chad" Sado, and his Mod-Soul sidekick Kon; Tatsumi's once dead Night Raid comrades Mine, Leone and Lubbock, along with one of the two surviving members Akame, and her new partner Dyno; Kuroko's fellow basketball peers Taiga Kagami from Seirin High, Kuroko's pet Akita pup Tetsuya 2, the Generation of Miracles Seijuro Akashi (from Rakuzan High), Ryota Kise (from Kaijo High), Shintaro Midorima (from Shutoku High), Daiki Aomine (from Toou Academy), and Atsushi Murasakibara (from Yosen High), and Satsuki Momoi from Toou High; and Nagisa's graduated Class 3-E peers Kaeye Kayano, Karma Akabane, Tomohito Sugino, Yuma Isogai, Hiroto Maehara, Manami Okuda, Rio Nakamura, Toka Yada, Yuzuki Fuwa, Ryunosuke Chiba, Rinka Hayami, and Ryoma Terasaka, and lastly, Nagisa's new pet wolfdog, Blue.
All were sitting and waiting for Luffy and the others to show up.
On one side, Kagami was with Momoi and Tetsuya 2, anxiously awaiting Kuroko.
"What the hell is taking him so long…" Kagami grumbled.
"Oh, I hope Tetsu-kun is okay." Momoi said, concerned as she pet Tetsuya 2 on the top of his head.
"I know he's fine. Probably here already." Kagami explained.
"Hey, Kagami-kun." Kuroko said.
"See, what did I te-" Kagami said, before jumping upon seeing his partner with Luffy, Blizzard, Ichigo, Tatsumi and Nagisa behind him.
"Dammit! What did I keep telling you to stop doing that?!" Kagami exclaimed.
"Tetsu-kun!" Momoi shouted, tackling Kuroko with a "hug of love" as the two crashed down.
Hearing the crash, everyone turned to see Luffy, Blizzard, Asta, Eren and Kagami watching Momoi joyfully hugging a stoic Kuroko while Tetsuya 2 licked his face.
"We knew this was gonna happen." Akashi, Kise, Midorima, Aomine and Murasakibara thought in unison.
"Big brother!" Aika hollered, jumping onto her brother.
"Aika! It's so good to see you're alright!" Luffy hollered, ruffling her head, thus making the young wolf girl smile.
"I'm glad to see you're okay, Luffy." Nami said, walking over and giving her fiancé and younger sister figure a hug, which the Straw Hat captain and wolf pup returned.
Tatsumi himself couldn't believe his eyes at seeing Leone, Lubbock and especially Mine, all alive and well after dying in the cause of bringing down the corrupt Empire and got teary eyed.
Akame noticed Tatsumi herself and start to tear up a little too, seeing four of her friends miraculously back in another world almost took away all her pain.
Mine, seeing Tatsumi getting sappy, decided to play her usual antics by walking over and flicking his forehead.
"Don't get teary-eyed right now, dummy." Mine teased. Tatsumi, while rubbing his forehead, smiled with a small blush on his face.
"Now that we're all here - we should be getting started." Akashi explained.
"Yeah. Been so bored I wanna sleep." Zoro explained.
"You already slept the whole time yesterday and did nothing." Sanji muttered, which Zoro would obviously heard the insult and growled.

Five minutes later, everyone gathered in one big circle near the back doors with several people sitting at the table separate or together, or sitting on the ground near the pavement within range of close communication.
"Why don't we start." Nami said.
"Certainly, Nami." Robin said, beginning to explain about the pirates among this group.
"My friends and I come from a world that's in the Pirate Era." Robin explained.
"Pirates from another world? In the open sea, you mean?" Dyno asked.
"Yep! We're the Straw Hat Pirates and I'm the captain!" Luffy proudly claimed, much to the bewilderment of those who can't imaging Luffy being in charge.
"There are rare fruits called Devil Fruits and whoever eats them gains extraordinary power at the cost of being unable to swim." Robin explained.
"Now that's cool." Tatsumi and Lubbock commented in unison.
"My name's Monkey D. Luffy, thee future King of the Pirates who've eaten the Gum-Gum Fruit." Luffy explained, stretching his cheeks.
"King of the Pirates?" Ichigo's Group, Night Raid, Dyno, Kuroko, Kagami, Momoi and the Generation of Miracles asked in unison.
Only Class 3-E have a keen idea of what he means.
"The crew's swordsman, Roronoa Zoro." Zoro said
"I'm Nami, the crew's navigator." Nami said.
"The brave captain Usopp, the crew's sniper!" Usopp hollered.
"I'm Sanji, the crew's illustrious chef." Sanji said, in a charming-like expression.
"And womanizer." Zoro muttered.
"I heard that!" Sanji snapped.
"I'm the crew's doctor, Tony Tony Chopper. I've eaten the Human-Human Fruit that allows me to walk and talk like a human." Chopper explained.
"He's adorable!" Orihime, Rukia, Mine, Leone, Momoi, Kaede, Okuda, Nakamura, Yada and Fuwa thought in unison, adoring the little reindeer from their respective seats.
"The Straw Hats' archeologist, Nico Robin." Robin said.
"The shipwright Franky. It's SUPER nice to meet you!" Franky hollered, doing his signature pose.
"He's a robot!" Tatsumi, Orihime, Leone, Lubbock, Kise, Sugino, Maehara, Nakamura, Yada and Fuwa hollered in unison, extremely excited.
"Humming Swordsman Brook. Pleased to meet you all." Brook said.
"A walking skeleton?!" Mine, Orihime, Lubbock, Sugino, Maehara, Okuda, Nakamura and Yada thought in unison, scarred as their bodies turned white.
"By the way, Nami-san… can I see your panties this time?" Brook asked, only to get a powerful kick that sent him flying high into the sky, before falling back down hard as everyone (except for the other Straw Hats) watched with dumbfounded expressions.
"How many times no!" Nami snapped.
"Idiot." Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Franky and Blizzard thought in unison, deadpanned.
"This is my dog, Blizzard." Luffy said, introducing Blizzard.
Blizzard barked.
"He's gotta be WAY bigger than me!" Blue thought.
"My name is Monkey D. Aika!" Aika hollered, now transformed back into her human form.
"And this is my pup, Kumi." Aika said, holding Kumi.
Kumi yipped.
"She's also my baby sister." Luffy said.
Aika nodded with a smile, causing many of the girls to get all mushy at her cuteness.
"We'll go next." Uryu said, adjusting his glasses.
"In our world, we're known as Soul Reapers who exterminate Hollows and it's our jobs to send souls to the Soul Society, which is a peaceful place for them to rest." Rukia explained.
"We also use swords called Zanpakuto to combat these hollows." Renji explained.
"Rather impressive." Akame commented.
"Are Soul Reapers like ghosts?" Mine questioned, trying to put up a brave face when in fact she's terrified of ghosts.
"Something like that - but we're very much alive." Rukia explained, which made Mine sigh in relief.
"Most humans can't see us, except you guys for some odd reason." Renji explained.
"That is rather strange indeed." Maehara said.
"I'm Ichigo Kurosaki. Substitute Soul Reaper." Ichigo said.
"Lieutenant of Squad 13. Rukia Kuchiki." Rukia explained.
"Uryu Ishida. I'm a Quincy." Uryu explained.
"Quincy?" Akashi asked.
"They're the opposite of the Soul Reapers, despite being capable of sensing spiritual beings and destroying Hollows." Rukia explained, now showing a picture of Quincy, only to be bunny drawings.
"I see your crappy art makes no sense as usual." Ichigo commented, only to get responded by an annoyed Rukia's thrown illustration to his face.
"Sosuke can draw better than that." Nakamura thought, thinking about her boyfriend Sosuke Sugaya capable of drawing something much better.
"My name is Orihime Inoue!" Orihime hollered.
"Yasutora Sado." Sado explained.
"I'm Squad 6 lieutenant, Renji Abarai!" Renji hollered.
"And this annoying little stuffed pervert is Kon." Ichigo said.
"WHAT WAS THAT?!" Kon exclaimed.
"We're up next then." Lubbock called out to his Night Raid teammates.
Akame stood up to do introductions next. "My friends and I hail from a once corrupted world ruled by a tyrannical empire."
"And the group we are is called Night Raid… we're mainly assassins." Akame explained.
"Real assassins?" Kuroko asked.
Fuwa wanted to say some things, but Nagisa and Kayano kept their hands on her mouth to prevent her babbling. Though Class E, being assassins themselves, have learned skills that don't kill their targets compared to Night Raid.
"But we don't kill out of cruelty. We kill those who are corrupt and still protect people." Tatsumi defended.
"So are you guys like vigilante heroes in the dark?" Orihime asked, being air headed as always.
Ichigo and Rukia face palmed in irritation.
"Nope. Regardless of our intentions, Night Raid's full of murderers." Leone explained.
"The sins we committed will stay with us even after the duty is done." Mine warned.
"We can relate to that." Robin and the Generation of Miracles agreed in unison.
"Our group here also wield powerful weapons called Teigu. Crafted from materials from monsters and rare metals, they each have different abilities to use in battle." Mine explained.
"As for names… my name is Tatsumi." Tatsumi introduced.
"I'm Akame." Akame said.
"Leone. But you guys can call me Sis." Leone explained, giving a wink that made Sanji, Kon and Maehara swoon, only to be hit by Nami, Rukia and Isogai.
"Call me Mine. A badass Sniper Genius." Mine boasted.
"She could give you two a run for your money." Karma said to Chiba and Hayami, which the two nodded in agreement.
"And I'm Lubbock." Lubbock introduced.
"Is that guy also a Night Raid member?" Nami asked, referring to Dyno.
"No. I'm just a lonely man. Call me Dyno." Dyno introduced.
"I've been traveling with him since the Empire fell in search of some serious stuff that may be related to what's happening now." Akame explained.
Leone gave a devilish smile and hung her elbow on Akame's right shoulder.
"Guess that means he's your new boyfriend?" Leone teased, getting an irritated look from Akame.
"We should go next, Akashi." Midorima said.
"Very well." Akashi said.
"In our world, we're just ordinary high schoolers who play basketball." Akashi explained.
"BASKETBALL?!" The Straw Hat Pirates (except Robin), Ichigo's Group (except Sado) and Night Raid exclaimed in unison. Class 3-E have a very clear idea who they are.
"Among this group basketball players, five of us who have extraordinary skills beyond the normal high school athlete are called the Generation of Miracles." Akashi explained, referring to himself, Aomine, Midorima, Kise and Murasakibara.
"But in actuality… we bare the souls of our counterparts from another world." Aomine explained.
"A world of knights, monsters and magic." Momoi explained, showing her magic staff. The others showed their own weapons.
Everyone from the Straw Hats to even the Class E students were taken totally by surprise, and now feel very interested to know more.
"I'm Tetsuya Kuroko of the Seirin High Basketball team. Also the Phantom Sixth Man of the Generation of Miracles." Kuroko explained.
"You guys can call me Taiga Kagami, ace and power forward of Seirin High's basketball team." Kagmai explained.
"I'm Seijuro Akashi. Point guard and captain of both the Generation of Miracles and Rakuzan High." Akashi explained.
"You guys can call me Ryota Kise! Small forward for Kaijo High!" Kise hollered.
"Pretty boy." Sanji, Lubbock and Maehara thought in unison, annoyed.
"Shintaro Midorima. Generation of Miracles and Shutoku High's Shooting guard." Midorima explained.
"Today's horoscope is Gemini. And my lucky item for today is a pair of fuzzy dice." Midorima continued, holding on a pair of pink-colored fuzzy dice.
"Where did you get that, Midorima-kun?" Kuroko asked.
"Oh, since the month is June, he managed to found a dirty pair that was on the ground near this place and couldn't help but pick them up." Kise explained.
"What's so important about *lucky items*?" Zoro asked.
"Because I believe in the Oha Asa horoscope and having lucky items can bring good fortune, moss-head." Midorima replied, irritating Zoro and amusing the others. Sanji was trying his absolute not to laugh.
"My name is Daiki Aomine - ace and power forward of the Generation of Miracles and Toou Academy." Aomine explained.
"I'm Satsuki Momoi, Toou's manager, AND, Tetsu-kun's girlfriend!" Momoi hollered, happily clinging onto Kuroko's arm.
"Kuroko… do us all a favor and die!" Sanji, Usopp, Renji, Lubbock, Sugino, Maehara and Terasaka thought in unison, very irritated a plain and boring guy like Kuroko is dating a beautiful and perky girl like Momoi.
"Knock it off, Satsuki." Aomine said.
"Oh, boo you, Dai-chan." Momoi said, blowing a raspberry.
Aomine grew irritated.
"And I'm Atsushi Murasakibara. Center of both the Generation of Miracles and Yosen High." Murasakibara explained, chewing on a bag of Doritos cool ranch chips.
"This guy's almost as tall as Franky?!" Sanji and Usopp thought in unison, perplexed at seeing Murasakibara's height almost compared to Franky's in the 7 feet range.
Tetsuya 2 yipped, which made Kagami jump.
"Oh, this is Tetsu-kun's pet puppy, Tetsuya 2." Momoi said, addressing the little pup as most of the girls were adoring and petting it.
"Why don't we go last?" Karma asked.
"Sure." Isogai answered.
"The world we come from is normal. But with some exceptions." Isogai explained.
"Exceptions?" Ichigo asked.
"We're students from Kunugigaoka Junior High School's Class 3-E. And we're also assassins." Nagisa explained.
"Assassins?" The Straw Hats, Ichigo's Group, Dyno, Kuroko, Kagami, Momoi and the Generation of Miracles thought in unison, surprised.
"They're like us?" Night Raid questioned in thought, worried young students might've gotten into something dangerous that forced them on that path.
"It's a long complicated story. But we can tell you our class had an octopus teacher named Koro-sensei." Nagisa explained.
The other Class E students were stiff, realizing their secret might get out too soon.
"A whole year of crazy of having that nutty octopus as our teacher." Terasaka said, saving face a little.
"For our names, I'm Nagisa Shiota." Nagisa said, introducing himself.
"And this is my pet wolfdog, Blue." Nagisa added, introducing his new pet.
"Sup." Blue said.
"She looks like me at her size." Blizzard commented.
"You think so?" Kumi asked.
"My name is Kaede Kayano." Kaede said, introducing herself.
"Karma Akabane." Karma said, introducing himself.
"I'm Tomohito Sugino." Sugino said, introducing himself.
"My name is Yuma Isogai." Isogai said, introducing himself.
"The name's Hiroto Maehara. Nice to meet you." Maehara said, introducing himself.
"I-I'm Manami Okuda." Okuda said, introducing herself as she stuttered a bit.
"Rio Nakamura." Nakamura said, introducing herself.
"I'm Toka Yada. Nice to meet you." Yada said, introducing herself.
"I'm Yuzuki Fuwa." Fuwa said, introducing herself.
"Ryunosuke Chiba." Chiba said, introducing himself.
"Rinka Hayami." Hayami said, introducing herself.
"And I'm Ryoma Terasaka." Terasaka said, introducing himself.
"Oh, and this is our trusty AI, Ritsu." Fuwa explained, showing Class E's digital friend on her phone.
"Hello!" Ritsu hollered, showing a salute.
Luffy, Aika, Usopp, Chopper, Franky, Orihime, Tatsumi, Leone and Kise were in awe, while Sanji, Brook and Lubbock were enamored.
Akame looked over to see Kagami hiding behind one of the trees.
"What are you doing, Kagami?" Akame asked.
"W-Well… dogs and I… don't match." Kagami replied.
"Don't be so mean, Kagami-kun." Kuroko said, appearing behind him with holding Tetsuya 2; both giving eyes of pity.
"Yeah. My sister's also a dog, you meanie." Luffy said, holding a transformed Aika in his hands as well with the same look as Kuroko and Tetsuya 2.
Kumi, Blizzard and Blue were sharing the same look as well.
"You all get the hell away from me!" Kagami snapped.
"But they're all so cute!" Kuroko and Luffy hollered in unison.
Luffy, Kuroko, Aika, Kumi, Blizzard, Tetsuya 2 and Blue chased after a frantic Kagami in a playful manner.
"Stop it! I'm serious! I'm gonna murder you all!" Kagami hollered.
"They're doing this on purpose." Ichigo, Tatsumi, Nagisa, Nami, Zoro, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Franky, Rukia, Uryu, Renji, Mine, Akame, Leone, Lubbock, Dyno, Momoi, Akashi, Midorima, Kise, Aomine and Murasakibara thought in unison.
"Well, we need to start in get-" Maehara said.
"Already coming, friends." A very familiar voice answered, appearing out of nowhere to answer Maehara.
Everyone were startled and jumped out of their seats a little.
Nagisa's eyes widened upon seeing who it was: Class 3-E's very own teacher back in the flesh: Koro-sensei!
"K-K…" Nagisa said, starting to tear up.
"Nurufufufufu~! No need to explain all the details right now, my boy." Koro-sensei explained, comforting the blue-haired boy with a tentacle to the head.
"Just know that I'm a living ghost back to give my all as a teacher!" Koro-sensei added, showing a green face.
"Teach lives up to his unkillable reputation." Karma commented, attempting to perform a knife thrust at Koro-sensei, only for him to dodge at lightning speed.
The rest of Class E joined in with their Anti-Sensei guns and blades while everyone were merely watching the spectacle.
"This almost feels like old times." Zoro commented.
"I see you all are enjoying yourselves." A voice commented, which Ichigo cringed upon recognizing that goofy tone.
The gang turned to see none other than former Warlord of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and whale shark fishman Jimbei, another former Warlord of the Sea and captain of the Heart Pirates Trafalgar D. Water Law and his pet wolf-husky hybrid Jupiter; owner of Urahara Shop Kisuke Urahara and Flash Master Yoruichi Shihoin; and leader of Night Raid Najenda.
"Jimbei?! Traffy?!" Luffy exclaimed.
"Jupiter too?!" Blizzard exclaimed.
"Kisuke?! Yoruichi-san?!" Ichigo exclaimed.
"And the boss?!" Tatsumi exclaimed.
"They were here with all of us last night before you guys showed up." Akashi explained.
Blizzard, Ichigo, Alear and Nagisa glared at Luffy, who was picking his nose before Nami slapped the back of his head for disgusting behavior.
"Figures that was Straw Hat's doing." Jupiter thought, annoyed.
"With everyone here, let's get started." Jimbei said.

With everyone now gathered around, it is time to full understand their situation.
"It's unfortunately bad news on what we're dealing with." Kisuke explained.
"How bad?" Kise asked.
"We've only learned this little information just yesterday when we all came here." Najenda answered, blowing a cigarette.
"They go by Blackbeard, Sosuke Aizen, Astor, Shiro, and worse of all, Esdeath." Najenda grimly said, causing the five groups to react to shock and horror.
"None of us have even the slightest idea why one still alive and growing in power, three that were once dead, and one that's supposed to be imprisoned for all eternity are teaming up." Law explained.
"And they're not alone. They're backed up by certain foes from our worlds: alive and dead." Yoruichi explained.
This shocked everyone again, while Luffy, Blizzard, Ichigo, Tatsumi, Kuroko and Nagisa clearly remember their fight against Lucci and Hordy from yesterday.
"But… what are they after?" Mine asked.
"We suspect they're after two of the six most powerful weapons weapons in the cosmos: the Cosmic Stones of Mind and Space." Yoruichi explained.
"And to make matters worse, we can't go back home until we stop them." Law explained.
"A very grim situation indeed." Jupiter said.
"I know this not a very ideal situation. Heck, I'm still trying figure how I'm brought back as a wandering spirit." Koro-senseei explained.
"Same with us." Tatsumi, Mine, Leone and Lubbock thought in unison, agreeing with Koro-sensei.
"The question to you all is: are you prepared to fight?" Jimbei asked.
Everyone became very silent on not sure what to do. That is, until Luffy stepped forward.
"Look. I don't get any of this at all - but let me say this." Luffy explained.
"We have dreams that give us meaning. And we're free to pursue them, not let some freaky demon take that away." Luffy continued.
"And what's more, I want my friends and family to see their dreams to the end, no?" Luffy finished.
Blizzard smirked. "You said it, bud."
Ichigo, Tatsumi, Kuroko and Nagisa also stepped forward beside Luffy.
"Luffy's right. What matters the most is the people we love, and I will do what ever it takes to protect them all." Ichigo explained.
"No matter who we face, I'll take down any one who threatens innocent people for their own selfish gain." Tatsumi explained.
"Our teamwork is stronger than any one powerful person. And that's our path to victory." Kuroko explained.
"And what ever happens, we decide our own fates to the very end." Nagisa explained.
"So… is everyone in?" Luffy, Ichigo, Tatsumi, Kuroko and Nagisa asked in unison, turning to their many companions.
One by one, each raised their hands or rose from their seats in total agreement.
"That's more like it." Jimbei said.
"Let's do it, guys!" Luffy hollered.
"YEAH~!" Ichigo, Kon, Tatsumi, Kuroko, Nagisa, Blue, Nami, Blizzard, Aika, Kumi, Zoro, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Robin, Franky, Brook, Jimbei, Law, Jupiter, Orihime, Rukia, Uryu, Sado, Renji, Kisuke, Yoruichi, Mine, Akame, Leone, Lubbock, Dyno, Najenda, Momoi, Kagami, Akashi, Kise, Midorima, Aomine, Murasakibara, Kaede, Karma, Sugino, Isogai, Maehara, Okuda, Kanzaki, Nakamura, Kataoka, Okano, Yada, Fuwa, Chiba, Hayami, Terasaka, Ritsu and Koro-sensei yelled in unison.
Tetsuya 2 barked in agreement.
The newly formed team of heroes start making preparations for the soon-to-be war and the trials that lie ahead.
Preview Skit:
Luffy: This is gonna be so awesome!
Zoro: I'm itching for new fights.
Sanji: I'm more itching to see so many beautiful women!
Zoro: That is all you think about, swirly-brows.
Zoro and Sanji clashed.
Sanji: Wanna fight me right now, Moss-head?!
Zoro: Any time and place!
Nami entered the scene, knocking out Zoro and Sanji.
Nami: Cut it out!
Luffy didn't bother to intervene and focused.
Luffy: Next time: Chapter 2 - City Sightseeing.
Luffy: I can't wait to see what it's like in a world with different cities.
Nami: It almost feels like your hometown. Only a little bigger.
Did you like it? Now this is a better version with the addition of Kuroko's Basketball and Akame ga Kill! I'm posting this early like I did with Super and Omega War Chronicles to keep strong and clear my head a little bit.
I also want to take a moment of silence to mourn the loss of Dragon Ball's creator and "father" of the manga world, Akira Toriyama. He passed away early this month and taken far too soon. He inspired all of us to love the world of Dragon Ball and manga/anime worlds beyond it. May he Rest in Peace.
