*During another encounter with the sea monkeys, causing a tsunami. You all encounter a ship that sinks because the pirates argue with each other unable to dodge and run away from the tsunami.
"Hey, you guys… Don't you think that ship was kind of weird? The captain wasn't there… Nor was the navigator… No flag. No sail… Then all the crew looked all disheartened and lacked discipline… How could they have been pirates?" Said Usopp
"Maybe they lost a fight. The captain died… And they lost all their stuff?" Suggested Zoro
"Not likely… I checked out their ship, and… Not only was there no sign of recent battle… There was NothingNothing on it to suggest that they were pirates! I have bad feelings about this..." Said Usopp
"You always do." Said Sanji
"I wonder if there is a town or shipyard on the island." Said Luffy
"I hope we meet a good repairman," said Chopper.
"" Ooo! Everyone… Listen to me…" Said Usopp.
"Chopper, Usopp is suffering from the die-when-going-to-an-unknown-island-syndrome." Said Sanji nonchalantly.
"I don't know how to cure that." Said Chopper
* It seems even Chopper is used to Usopps antics now. You think about what Usopp said. It is strange how empty that ship was—NothingNothing you can do about it right now, though. You arrive at the Island, and it is a vast plain with Nothing but tall trees. Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper jump down first excited to see what's here. While the three went on an adventure, a big ship blocks the front and the back of Going Merry, preventing us from escaping if you all wanted to. Everyone is on alert.
"Who are you, people? Come out, cowards!" Zoro demanded
"Come on down and fight!" Said Sanji
"What do you want from us…?" Said Nami
* The ship with a fox head announced themselves.
"We are the foxy pirates! Don't be so anxious… Our duel shall begin shortly."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
* The pirates at the fox ship explain what the Davy Back fight is and how their captain is already trying to challenge Luffy.
"Why bother? We never turn down a fight anyway!" Said Zoro
"Uh... Have you never heard of it before? This isn't just a fight. Davy Back Fight is a gambling game played between pirates." Said Sanji
"Groups fighting over pirates…?" Said Nami
"You didn't even know that, and you call yourself a pirate? Davy Back Fight is the contest for human resources! The format we use is the 3 coins rule." Said the foxy pirates
"If you lose the game, you lose your friend! Lastly, if there is no desirable crew left in the losing team, the winner may choose to take the loser's pirate flag." They continued on.
* Nami refuses to play this game, understanding what happened to the ship they saw earlier, but it seems only the captains have a say on whether this game will happen or not. Nami tries to go stop, but you all hear the gunshot indicating that the game has begun.
"That means…!" Said Nami
"He accepted it…" Said Sanji
"Perfect…" Said Zoro
"Interesting…" Said Robin
* A battle where if you lose, you lose your friends. You are filled with determination to protect your friends.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
* You all regroup together and start looking at who should be going.
"Hey! You know the rest of the rules, right? Each person may have no more than one round. Exactly 7 people from each team will participate in the game. You may not change the grouping once the game starts." Said one of the foxy pirates
"I knew that. Get out of here." Said Sanji annoyed
"The games are racing, sports, and combat. I'll take combat." Said Zoro
"What!? No! I want to fight!" Said Luffy
"No. Let me! My legs are itchy already!" Said Sanji
"It's decided then. I'll turn in our listing." Said Robin
* For the first round, the donut race, Nami, Usopp, and Robin decides to go, and the second race, the groggy ring, is Zoro, Sanji, and Chopper. For the last combat round, it's Luffy.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
* For the first round, your team has lost, unfortunately. It was close, but Foxy slowed your friends using the slow, slow beam. Allowing the foxy pirate's team to win by catching up while the others were slowed down.
"The first one that I will take is… the doctor. Tony Tony Chopper!" Said Foxy
* Chopper gets dragged by the foxy pirates, having him sit down with the Foxy mask with the rest of their crew. Chopper starts to cry at their seat.
"Everyone! I… I don't want this! I started sailing with you guys… Luffy! Luffy asked me… I only went because Luffy asked! I don't want to join these people!" Cried Chopper
* Zoro slams the beer down.
"Shut your mouth, Chopper! You are disgraceful! It was your choice to get a life on the sea. Dead or alive, the choice was yours alone. Don't blame it on others. We accepted the challenge! Usopp and the others tried their best. In the pirate's world, tears won't get you anything… If you are a man… Then just sit tight, and… Quietly watch the game!" Said Zoro
"How could you say that!? He must feel terrible right now…" Said Nami
* Chopper seems to stop crying because of what Zoro said. Hardening his spirit.
"Much better… Let's get ready for round 2." Said Zoro
"Win Chopper back!" Said Luffy and Usopp cheering on
"That's right… There are two more matches. We have to retrieve our emergency food, friend." Said Sanji
"Cook me. Fry me. I don't care. I'm a man!" Said Chopper
* You start walking where Zoro and Sanji are, but Nami grabs you. You look at her.
"They're going to be arguing with each other often…" Said Nami with a wry smile
* You nod your head understanding what Nami means.
"Just don't get in my way," Said Zoro
"What was that?! You shitty Marimo!" said Sanji.
"You want to fight now!?" they said at the same time.
* While the two argue, the rules for the 2nd round are explained. The goal is to throw the enemy ball into the enemy's side. However, the ball will be a person.
"So first, each team must choose a person to be the ball! Which one of you will be the ball?"
* Before the two argue again, you decide to be the ball. Apparently, no weapons are allowed. Zoro gives the swords to you, and you store them inside the inventory.
"Fine. Not like it matters at all." Said Zoro
"Are you sure you'll be alright? A swordsman without a sword is…" Said Sanji
"Yeah? Better than you, sandbag."
* Because Chopper was taken, only Zoro and Sanji can participate in the game as there are no substitutes. The two start arguing again. You think this will be an exciting game.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
* After a beat down, Zoro and Sanji manage to put their pride aside and work to beat the Foxy Pirates for the second round. You guys think about taking Foxy away so that the game ends immediately but conclude that no one wants Foxy to be traveling with the others.
"Chopper! Come back!" Said Luffy
"Wuokay! Thanks for saving me!" Cried Chopper jumping towards Luffy.
"Stop crying. It's not like Zoro and Sanji could've lost." Said Luffy with a smile.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
* For the final battle, it will take on the Foxy ship with Luffy against Foxy. Luffy comes out with afro hair and boxing gloves. The rest of the crew is at the spectator seat, eating popcorn and drinking. However, as the fight goes on, Luffy becomes more injured and beaten up harshly. You all started to worry about Luffy. Even then, despite being beaten up and bloodied up numerous times, He still stood back up.
"To save… My Nakama… I will fight… To death!" Said Luffy determined
* To give his life for his friends… You are filled with mixed emotions. You see how much Luffy values his friends… But also how much Luffy is willing to sacrifice himself for others… You see a reflection of yourself within Luffy. You and the others have unwavering trust in Luffy… That he will overcome it. However, no matter how big Luffy may be willing to sacrifice… There is a limit…You pray, wishing that you will help Luffy share his burden.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
* In the end, Luffy manages to beat Foxy by reflecting the slow, slow beam back to him using a mirror. Luffy redraws the Foxy's pirate flag, making it look hideous, and the Foxy pirates leave. Luffy brings the original Foxy pirate flag to an old grandpa named Tonjit, and you all are about to leave.
"Why don't we take you to your people on our ship?" Said Nami
"No problem. No problem. I'm an easy-going guy. I'm not in a hurry." Said Tonjit
* Tonjit bumps into a tall man that has an eye mask sleeping while standing. Robin immediately falls to her knees and is in a state of panic.
"Ah...Ah...Eh!?" Said Robin
"Robin!?" Said Luffy
* The others are all on alert.
"What's wrong, Robin-chan!?" Said Sanji in a worried tone
"Arararara… You have grown to be a fine young woman… Nico Robin…" Said the stranger
* You are all ready for battle.
"Robin, what's wrong? Do you know this guy!?" Said Luffy
"We met once before…" Said the tall man
* Robin can not make words right now as she is shaking in fear.
"To terrify Robin to this extent… Who is he!?"
"Ararara… Little boys shouldn't be so aggressive. It's not like I was ordered to come here. I'm only here for a walk." Said the tall man
"Ordered? Who do you work for!?" Demanded Zoro
"The marine. He's a supreme admiral of the marine headquarters…" Said Robin out of her shocked state.
"Admiral!?" Said everyone in shock.
* You remember reading about the admiral. The second-highest-ranking next to the fleet admiral.
"The highest-ranked fighters of the marines…?" Said Sanji in shock
"In the entire marine navy, there are only three people with the title of admiral—Akainu the red dog, Aokiji the blue pheasant, Kizaru, the yellow monkey. The only one superior to them is Sengoku, the commander in chief. Those three men are crowned the ultimate assault force by the world government, and he is one of them!" Exclaimed Robin
"What is someone like him doing here? There are plenty of pirates, more than 100 million. Go get them!?" Said Usopp
"Oooh! What do we have here? Another sexy lady!" Said Aokiji ignoring Usopp
"What the fuck do you think you're doing!?" Said Sanji angrily
"Pay attention to what I said, damn it!" Said Usopp
"I told you to chill, kids… You are the ones who should learn to listen. I told you I am only here for a walk. No need for so much hostility." Said Aokiji
"Are you sure you're not mistaken, Robin? There's no way that someone like him can be an admiral of the marine!" Said Usopp
"Hey, Don't judge people by their Cover." Said Aokiji
* Despite the admiral's relaxing nature, you see that Robin is still scared of the admiral. There must be a reason she is afraid of him. You stand next to Robin, worried for her. Aokiji offers to help Tonjit meanwhile you comfort Robin. The others don't believe in Aokiji.
"It's true… with his help, it's possible…" Said Robin
* You all help pack Tonjit's equipment up and walk up to the coast of the sea. Despite the light conversation Luffy is having with Aokiji, Robin still looks nervous.
"So… What now? Are you going to pull everything along while you swim across?" Asked Luffy
"Now that is impossible…" Said Aokiji as he dipped one of his hands into the water.
"Move away… For a little bit, please…" Said Aokiji
* A moment of silence. A massive seaking erupts from the water and is about to attack Aokiji.
"Roar!" Screamed the seaking
"Watch out!" Said Luffy
"Ice age." Said Aokiji quietly.
* With that, the whole ocean froze along with the seaking.
"The sea… Froze over!"
"Elemental class… The freezing power of the ice fruit. This is the extend of the power of an admiral of the marine headquarters…!" Said Robin
"That should hold for about a week… You can take your time. Good luck with locating your village. It's a little cold, by the way… You should wear more clothing…" Said Aokiji.
* You all say farewell to Tonjit and start heading back. You all see Aokiji sitting down on the grass. Thinking about something.
"...What?" Asked Luffy
"How should I say this… You and your grandfather are really alike, Monkey D. Luffy… Is it open-minded…? Or is it absent-minded…?" Said Aokiji
"G...Grandpa..!?" Said Luffy
"Luffy's Grandpa!?" Said Usopp
"What's wrong, Luffy? Why are you sweating so much?" Said Usopp
"NothingNothing! It's just… Uh…" Said Luffy
* Luffy's grandpa seems to be linked with Aokiji somehow. Maybe he is also part of the marines.
"I dealt with your grandpa a long time ago. Even though I only came to see Nico Robin… Maybe all of you should… Just die here and now." Said Aokiji
* The atmosphere changed.
"The government isn't taking you seriously, but… After carefully analyzing the situation, it has become obvious that you are a very determined group of individuals… Your group currently consists merely of a handful of rogues, yet… judging from the degree of troubles you've been causing… There is little doubt that as time passes, you will become an acute threat… In the time between the issuing of the first bounty on a member of your party… To the present time… Your growth, so to say, has been… Quite extraordinary… And though you have so far limited yourself to fighting other pirates… I am concerned with what the future holds once you grow tired of your prey and search for a new game… Your party is now especially dangerous… Because of you… Nico Robin." Said Aokiji
"So you came to take Robin away after all! I'm gonna send you flying!" Said Luffy
"The size of your bounty does not only reflect the threat your combat abilities pose. It also shows how dangerous you are to the government. And even though you were only eight years old… You had such a high bounty put on your head. As a child, you were a true survivor. Betraying your partners… Using them as tools… After the recent feat of survival, you have undertaken… Are these the new tools that you have chosen to manipulate to achieve your goals?" Said Aokiji
"You freaking asshat! Don't you dare say things like that! What did Robin-chan ever do to you!?" Said Sanji
"She didn't do anything to me… She escaped once after I arrested her… But that's a long story… One that you will learn eventually… That woman's curse will bring that day to pass soon enough. Here's the proof. Every group that Nico Robin has ever associated with… Has ended up completely annihilated. Why is that so, Nico Robin?" Said Aokiji
"Shut up, you! What happened in the past doesn't matter!" Said Luffy
"I see… You have already earned the trust of these people…" Said Aokiji
"What are you trying to do?! You want to arrest me? Come get some! Trienta Flores!"
* Robin created a bunch of arms on Aokiji
"Robin! Don't do it!" Warned Usopp
"Ararara… It seems that I have said too much. How disappointing… I thought you would be smarter than this…" Said Aokiji
"Clutch!" Said Robin as she snapped Aokiji in half
* You don't think this is over. His broken ice body regenerates back to normal.
"Hm… That was harsh…" Said Aokiji
* Aokiji blows into some grass and makes an ice sword
"Ice Saber. I wasn't planning on killing you, but…" Said Aokiji
* Aokiji swings at Robin, but Zoro stops his ice sword with his own. Sanji follows up and kicks the sword away. Luffy follows up by punching Aokiji in the stomach. However, all three are frozen—Zoro with his shoulder, Sanji with his Leg, and Luffy with his arm.
"He took down the three of them with one strike…!" Said Nami
"This is bad! We have to treat them immediately, or their hands and legs will never heal!" Said Chopper
"... You've got some good friends this time… But… You're still yourself, Nico Robin." Said Aokiji
"You're wrong… I have…" Said Robin
* Aokiji is wrapping his arms around Robin with her slowly freezing from the top. You immediately jump in and hit Aokiji with your frying pan. You do 100 damage; however, one of your arms is frozen as you did that from contact.
"Frisk!" Exclaimed everyone
* You see Aokiji slowly get back up.
"So you guys already have a Haki user…" Said Aokiji nonchalantly.
"Wha… Haki?" Said Usopp confused.
"Stand aside, Little missy. If you don't want to get hurt…"
* You shake your head. Saying that Robin is vital to you and everyone.
* The others are still down. Aokiji is about to wrap Robin again. Robin is trembling in shock and fear. You think there is no choice. You go back towards Aokiji, swinging the frying pan at him again. This time, he blocks it with his arm; you do 30 damage. He freezes your legs this time. You throw the frying pan but dodges it easily. You tell him to get away from Robin and that he doesn't define the trust you all have with her.
"...Sigh… I really didn't want to do this..." Said Aokiji
* Aokiji touches your head slowly.
