Chapter 10
Luffy Meets the Son of Spyro
Sunrise came in the Dragon Realms. Usopp and Luffy headed for the forest outside of Warfang, riding on Chopper.
"Hey, Usopp, I thought we were gonna be around Warfang for a few days to know the mountain," Luffy said.
"Sanji said to find some food in the forest," Usopp said.
"Really? I thought we had food from the campsite."
"Yeah, well, after all the trouble we had being lost in the forest, you had to hog the rest of the food we had packed up!"
"I think we should get started," Chopper said. "I'll go for the Dragonberries."
"I'll go for the fish," said Usopp, taking a fishing pole. "You can come with, Luffy, but don't go getting lost again!"
"Aw, cut me some slack, Usopp."
Meanwhile, flying across the sky was a human with artificial wings and a suit of steel and leather. Not to mention purple clothing. He also wears an aviator's cap. He landed on a boulder. He took off his goggles, revealing himself to be a fifteen year old boy with pink eyes. He breathed in fresh air and sighed. He saw a few birds flying by, chirping.
"Things had changed since dad had saved the world," the boy said. "I can't wait to see him again."
The boy heard voices, and he flew into the forest. Landing near the trees, he hid behind a bush, and he saw a reindeer with a blue nose, a blue cap with a pink hat in it, and pants and a tank top, a pirate with a scar under his left eye, sailor coat, blue jeans and a straw hat, and another with curly hair, a long nose, a white hat, and yellow pants with suspenders.
"Do you think we could catch a grouper?" said the pirate in a straw hat.
"How should I know? I don't know the fish in this world," said the long nosed pirate.
"We gotta catch something."
"I might find the Dragonberries eventually," said the reindeer. "I couldn't find them."
The pirate in a straw hat swung his pole, and the hook flew, only to hook the reindeer's pants, and when he swung it, the reindeer screamed as he was sent into the lake.
"Gah! Chopper!" cried the long nosed pirate, diving in the water. He swam and carried Chopper out of the water, and setting him on the ground, he took the hook off his pants. "Damn it, Luffy, watch where you're swinging that pole!"
"Huh?" Luffy looked at Chopper. "Oh, hey, Chopper. Any luck finding fish?"
"I almost drowned in the lake, and I can't swim, you jerk!" Chopper yelled.
The boy left the bush, accidentally causing a rustle.
"Gah! Who's there?!" The long nosed pirate said.
Luffy got up. "Huh? What?"
"I heard it too, Usopp," Chopper said. "I think we're not alone."
Luffy stood on his feet and looked around. "Hey, Usopp, you heard that?"
"I'm not the only one with ears, you know!" Usopp said, annoyed.
Luffy approached a bush nearby.
"Luffy, we don't even know what's behind the bush!" Usopp said.
Luffy hopped over the bush and looked around. He saw a figure flying down the forest. "Hey!" he yelled, running.
Luffy chased the figure down the forest. He ran for miles, looking from side to side, and then he stopped. He panted as he looked around.
The boy hid behind a tree and took a peek to see Luffy. "Alright, stranger," he said quietly, before shouting, "here I come!" He jumped out and tackled Luffy.
The two wrestled around before Luffy wrapped his arms around the boy while stretching them.
"Gum-Gum...!" Luffy began but got cut off when the boy kicked his crotch. He fell to the ground after releasing the boy, covering his crotch. "Damn it! That was a cheap shot!"
The boy pulled out the blades of Spyro's enemy Gaul. "I don't know who you are, but I can just beat you anyway!" he said. He swung the blades, but Luffy dodged them.
Luffy jumped backwards. "Gum-Gum Gatling!" He threw a barrage of multiple punches, but to his surprise, the boy dodged them without taking a hit. "No way! He dodged all the punches!" He stopped his attack. "Alright! Gum-Gum...!"
"Stop!" Spyro's voice called out.
The two saw Spyro flying in, landing his feet in the grass. "What in the world is going on?" he asked. He noticed the boy and approached him. "What are you doing here in the forest?"
"Dad, it's me," the boy said.
"Huh? 'Dad'?" Luffy asked.
Spyro looked at the boy and gasped from seeing his pink eyes. "Raymond?!" he exclaimed.
"Hi, dad," Raymond smiled.
"Raymond!" Spyro cried, happily hugging Raymond and wrapping his wings around him. "I missed you so much, son!"
Luffy's eyes bugged out as his jaw dropped, shocked at what he's seeing.
"I missed you too, dad!" Raymond laughed.
"Wh-What?! You mean to tell me Spyro is your pops?!" Luffy cried. "What, what the hell is going on here?!"
"Where had you been, Raymond? I had been thinking about you," Spyro said.
"I was doing some training after what's happened," Raymond said. "I'm sorry about Ignitus."
"HEY!" Luffy screamed, trying to get their attention. "What is going on here?!"
Spyro approached Luffy. "Luffy. I want you to meet my adoptive son, Raymond Dragonfang."
"Luffy? That's your name?" Raymond asked.
Luffy suddenly grinned. "Yep. Monkey D. Luffy of the Straw Hat Pirates," he said.
Spyro fell perplexed. "You were shocked earlier," he said.
Raymond chuckled and shook hands with Luffy. "I'm Raymond, good to meet you."
"Luffy!" Usopp cried.
The group saw Chopper and Usopp running in.
"Luffy, what are you doing?!" Usopp said.
"Wait!" Spyro said, holding his paw out to stop the two. "It's alright. There's no harm done."
"You knew them, dad?" Raymond asked.
Chopper's eyes bugged out. "Did he just call Spyro 'dad'?!" he gasped.
"It's a long story," Spyro said. "Come on, Raymond. I'm sure we got some catching up to do."
"Wait, how the hell is this guy your son?!" Usopp cried.
"I'll explain everything when we get back home."
Back in Warfang, the rest of the Straw Hats had to help Kane repair damages from their battle against the Rat Tribe. Zoro had to chop some wood using his three swords.
"Hey, the guys are back!" Franky said.
The group saw Luffy and the others arriving.
"Back so soon?" Nami asked.
"We just met a new friend," Luffy said.
Robin saw Raymond's suit and wings. "I see he's wearing a suit with artificial wings," she said.
"Oh, my, a human living in the Dragon Realms!" Brook said, amazed. "My, seeing him in person made my heart beat, even though I don't have one."
"Who is this guy?" Zoro asked. He noticed Gaul's blades. "Are you some kind of a warrior?"
"Technically, in a way," Raymond said. "The name's Raymond."
"Raymond? What a nice name," Nami said.
"You guys won't believe who Raymond is," Usopp said.
"Who is Raymond, Spyro-san?" Brook asked.
"Guys," said Spyro, "meet my adoptive son."
Hearing this made Robin gasp and caused everyone's eyes to bug out, screaming. Well, everyone's eyes except Brook's, since he has none.
"Spyro's son is that human?!" the group cried.
"How can dragons give birth to humans?! It doesn't make sense!" Sanji shouted.
"There's no way this kid could be Spyro's boy!" Franky added.
"That guy is really Spyro's son?! I must be losing my brain, even though I don't have one!" Brook added.
"Your father is that purple dragon?! What kind of messed up idea was that?!" Zoro added.
"Will you guys shut up?!" Nami yelled, covering her ears. "I'm sure there's an explanation."
"I guess we're not the only humans here," Robin said.
"It's a really long story," Spyro said. "I will tell you all about it."
Spyro explained to the Straw Hat Pirates about how he met Raymond, when he entered the human world and saved Raymond from bullies, and how he got into driving a car and had an exciting adventure, collecting artifacts to return home, a battle with Gaul, and Raymond's happy life in Spyro's world.
"You can drive a car?! I didn't think you had a license!" Usopp said.
"He could not," Nami said. "Dragons don't drive, stupid."
"I know it's hard to believe, but I had figured it out when the Apes were after me," Spyro said. "I really missed driving."
"Oh, man, I can't wait to tell you how to steer the ship!" Luffy said, excited.
"You're not bringing this up!" Nami objected, punching Luffy.
"Ow! Come on, Nami, that hurt."
"And I guess those blades you have were Gaul's," Zoro said.
"That's right," Raymond said.
"And what's with the suit and the purple clothes?" Chopper asked. "Do you ever take them off?"
"Only after dark. See, I'm an albino."
"What?! You mean you're sensitive to light and sun?! No way!"
"And those artificial wings look incredible!" Usopp said. "You made them?!"
"No, they were a gift."
"I see. But they're still incredible!"
"Can you fly?" Luffy asked.
Usopp slapped him. "Didn't you see him flying earlier?! What's wrong with you?!"
"I think we'd like to see how much he has learned," Cynder said.
"Right," Spyro said. "Come with us."
Inside the temple, the dragon statue went underground, and the dummies appeared. Raymond took out his blades. The Straw Hats watch as he used the blades to chop them, and he shot fire from his hands.
"Whoa, he shot fire like Ace did!" Luffy gasped.
"Even ice like Kuzan!" Usopp added when Raymond shot ice.
"He can use our abilities, like Spyro's and mine," Cynder said. "He possesses the Spirit Gems."
"Spirit Gems?" Chopper said.
"Are they for ghosts?!" Brook added, scared.
"No, they just enhance his abilities, his human lifespan," Cynder said, "and he can also learn spells from the magic books."
"No way!" Usopp gasped.
Raymond shot light Convexity from his hand, which made Luffy more excited.
"This is so awesome!" Luffy cried.
After showing off his magic attacks and abilities, Raymond had finished, and the dragon statue rose from the ground.
"Oh, man, that was really awesome stuff!" Luffy said excitedly.
"That's what I've been learning since I got a new home here in the Dragon Realms," Raymond said. "But I was curious. How did you stretch your arms out?"
"My arms? Oh, my stretching was from eating the Gum-Gum Devil Fruit."
"Devil Fruit?"
"We'll explain everything later," said Zoro, "unless you want to know about it."
"I can tell him how we became Luffy's friends and crew," Chopper said.
"Hold on, guys, before we jump to ideas..." Usopp said before turning to Raymond. "I'd like to tell you how I took down the Arlong Pirates!"
"I would like you to join my crew!" Luffy said.
"Uh, thanks, but..." Raymond said but got trailed off.
"I can also tell him how I brought our Thousand Sunny to safety without any sign of danger!" Usopp said.
"His flying can be of some help!" Luffy said.
"Guys," Raymond said.
"I can teach him how to use a slingshot!" Usopp said.
"I can convince him to be a pirate! It's so much fun!" Luffy said.
"Guys?" Raymond asked.
Nami groaned with agitation. "Enough!" she yelled, punching Usopp and Luffy with her fists. "You guys are about to drive him crazy! I won't have it!" She then dragged them by the feet.
"Aw, Nami, you're so beautiful when you're angry!" Sanji said lovingly.
"Are they always like that?" Raymond asked.
"Yeah, always a couple of idiots," Zoro said. "How's about you and I do some sparring some other time? I must warn you, I am the master of Three-Sword Style."
"You don't say," Raymond said curiously. "Perhaps I'd like to see your moves. But I got some catching up to do with my parents." He turned to his dragon parents. "Shall we?"
"Absolutely, since we missed you so much, honey," Cynder said.
"Come along, son," Spyro said, and the three left the statue to do some catching up.
"Um, do we have to talk to Raymond about Agatina? I don't think he knows," Chopper asked.
"I'm sure he will one day," Robin said. "Right now, I think they got some catching up to do. I might need to know about this world anyway, since we're all new here."
Chopper smiled. "I think you're right. This is their reunion after all."
The group watched as Raymond walked with his dragon parents Spyro and Cynder.
