Chapter 1: House Elf aboard
Thousand Sunny
It has been almost a month since Harry finished his first term at Hogwarts. And as usual, he underwent countless adventures with both his crew and on his own, but what he wanted most in the world is hang out with his new friends Ron Weasley and his mischievous twin brothers Fred and George at their home. After a couple of weeks at sea, Harry finally got his permission from Nami, although it was it was easier said than done since Nami was hesitant to leave Harry on his own more than a few hours as usual, but with a joint convincing from Luffy, and their daughters Belle and Hinagiku, who wanted to come with Harry to stay over at the Weasley's... Nami begrudgingly caved in and accepted, after all they'll be under the watchful care of Molly Weasley, mother of Ron, Fred and George.
Even though Harry got his mother's permission to stay over at the Weasley's for the holidays, another complication got in Harry's way. When he received the alright from Nami, Harry tried to contact Ron via his Phoenix-embossed book to tell him, but for some reason, he couldn't find it. For the moment he left it in the children's quarters so to ask his mother, he returns to find it gone.
He tried to retrieve it with his Blink-Blink Fruit powers, but he couldn't summon it, which was odd in Harry's behalf. He tried to find the book, he searched every nook and cranny aboard the Sunny and yet he can't find the book anywhere, even with the crew helping him on the search, he still couldn't find it. Not even Franky, who knows the Sunny like the back of his robotic hand as he used his said cybernetics to find the book, by lifting up heavy crates and barrels so to look underneath. And not even Robin can find it, even with the use of her Flower-Flower Fruit and her encyclopaedic memory of every book stored in the ship's library, she used her sprouted arms and eyes to search for the missing book and even she is baffled at how elusive the magic book is to her, which gotten her suspicious as Harry is.
The others contributed in their search and it all ended in the same conclusion, no one can find Harry's book.
This got Harry worried however, for he has lost the means to contact his friends in the next world, he wanted to tell Ron and it's not like he can just owl him the answer. Fortunately, Hinagiku did give Harry a solution to send letters to his friends, on the condition that she can use Hedwig to send letters to her own friends she made in Hogwarts. She crafted an anklet made from the sprigs of Yggdrasil and wove it around Hedwig's ankle, granting the Snowy Owl interdimensional travel similar to Harry and Hinagiku. They trained Hedwig to use that power, which was easier said than done, but not impossible.
Hedwig had a knack of teleporting to one place to another, and the owl is enjoying the experience. Harry wrote a letter to Ron that he's allowed to stay over at his for the Holidays, Hedwig delivered the letter... only for her to return empty clawed. This made Harry confused, he tried again, but Hedwig got nothing from Ron. He even tried again, only this time he wrote to Hermione so that she can sent Ron his answer, but like before he got no response from Hermione.
This frustrates Harry, he tried to write to them again and kept on searching for his book, but the results remain the same. No letter, no book, no response, he got nothing from his friends, which made Harry suspicious and angry. It's not like the two to ghost Harry, and Harry knows this. He can't be sure why they aren't writing back, not when Hedwig is now capable of interdimensional postage. Nevertheless, this made Harry anxious and suspects that something, or someone is responsible for this... and he blindly has one suspect.
And that suspect is none other than his sister Belle.
"Give them back, Belle!" Harry as he tackled Belle onto the lawn covered deck, resulting in him and Belle in their brawling. Belle pushes Harry off and delivers a mean right hook to his cheek causing Harry to stumble and lie on the grass.
"What are you on about, Harry?" said Belle getting up from the lawn covered deck. "Give what back?"
"My book, and the letters Ron and Hermione have sent me," said Harry. "I knew it was a bad idea lending you my book to talk to Hermione. Now you want that book for self, so you stole it, and you took my letters so they wouldn't grass you up."
"That's absurd!" said Belle scoffing at Harry. "Why on earth would I nick that book when you can just make me one when if I can just ask you? I mean, you can make another one, right?"
"...of course I do, but I also lost the spell-craft schematics too," said Harry grabbing Belle by the scuff of her blouse.
"I don't believe it," said Belle with a groan. "You seriously need to take care of your stuff, Harry."
"Don't you dare lecture me about losing stuff, you thief!" exclaimed Harry
"I told you, I don't have it!" Belle before head-butting Harry in the head, making Harry let go of her.
"Liar!" exclaimed Harry, ignoring the from Belle's head-butt and tackles Belle to the ground where they starts wrestling angrily at each other, resulting in them punching, kicking, pulling hair, grabbing faces and tugging cheeks to ridiculous lengths as if they are made of rubber, ironically speaking. Fortunately, Luffy noticed their fight after leaving the Sunny's figurehead and rushed by to break them apart. Luffy is fine with Zoro and Sanji fighting, for he found their usual spats funny, hell he even let Nami and Hancock got at each other like feral cats since they usually fight for his attention, but he won't tolerate his own children fighting each other, family shouldn't fight one another. Brawl and argue maybe, but never fight.
"Alright, that's enough!" said Luffy holding each of his children. "Harry, I'm sorry you lost your magic book, but that's no excuse to accuse your own sister."
"Why not, she has a habit of fibbing and nicking stuff," said Harry crossing his arms.
"Like you're one to talk, Mr. Vanishing Child," said Belle sarcastically. "How do we know you didn't just made it vanish and forgot about it?"
"Screw you!" Harry spats at his sister.
"Screw you too!" Belle spats back.
"Alright, enough you two," said Luffy letting his kids go. "I think you had too much excitement for today, so I'm putting you both on ship duty with Usopp and Zoro today."
"But dad..."
"No buts, it's either that or spending your holidays cooling in the brig," said Luffy before leering sternly at his children. "And I'll forfeit your stays at the Weasleys if you think of escaping."
"...where do I start, Cap'n?" said Harry and Belle simultaneously in a defeat glum.
Luffy made a slight smirk for he knows that minor threat works, he needs to thank Nami for teaching him that... and reward her.
Harry, you'll be guard duty with Zoro in the crow's nest, and Belle will help Usopp with his Pop Green Gardens, along with the tangerine harvest for Sanji's cooking for tonight."
"So we're actually going there, huh?" said Harry with a disheartened look.
(Flashback: yesterday)
"are you kidding me?" exclaimed Harry in shock and anger, during lunch in the Sunny's mess hall, Luffy just announced that he's received a summons delivered by a Dracula Parrot, which were rarely used by Pirates to send in secret messages before the Den Den Mushi was introduced. Said parrot is currently perched next to Hedwig, enjoying a fruit salad Sanji made for it while ignoring the judgemental look from the Snowy Owl. When the Parrot arrived at the Sunny, it didn't take the Pirate King long to know what's up... and he doesn't like it.
"I'm afraid not, we're going to Fullalead," said Luffy showing a rather annoyed expression when he made the announcement. "The Pirate Court is called."
The Straw Hats frowned from this, the last time that happened was when Akainu and his Neo-Marines declared war on the pirates of the New World, just when the new Emperors of the Sea's position of power was recent. That declaration of war has forced the Emperors and the Pirate King to team up, despite their hostile rivalry, established this court meeting in Fullalead which resulted an epic naval battle that decimated both the Pirate Fleet and the Neo-Marines, causing them to end in a stalemate but not without Luffy brutally wounding the Ex-Fleet Admiral, both his body and his pride.
So whenever the Pirate King is summoned among the Emperors and newly appointed Pirate Legends, it means that something is up.
"Did they say that's going on?" said Nami
"I'm afraid not, the message is vague, but Rayleigh requests our presence," said Luffy as he gives Nami the letter. "Here, read for yourself."
Nami took the letter and starts reading it.
Luffy
I know it's sudden, especially when you just came back from Harry's home world so he could start his education in magic (Gloriosa told Shakky and she told me). But you are needed in Fullalead along with the Emperors and the Pirate Legends to an emergency meeting at the court for something crucial. The meeting will commence once everyone arrives, so don't take long.
Rayleigh
P.S
Give Harry my congratulations on his first term of his school. I can't wait to see him and see what he learned there.
"Strange, what could he want?" said Nami with intrigue. It's been a while since she and the Straw Hats talked to Rayleigh, ever since he reinstated his Pirate ways and became a Pirate Legend, which is a title full of honour and pride, depending on the infamy. If Luffy wasn't King, he'd be considered earning the rank of Pirate Legend as well as Emperor, given his own renown, such as the declaration of war against the World Government, his battles against the Warlords and thwarting their plots, as well as defeating the former Emperors Big Mom and Kaido in Onigashima.
"Beats me, but we're going to Fullalead to find out," said Luffy.
"Seriously?" said Harry with annoyance. "I hated it there,"
Harry did not have a good experience in the famed Pirate Island, when he first went there... his expectations were... disappointing. Ever since the downfall of Blackbeard due to his disappearance, Fullalead was no longer in his hold and was claimed by a pirate alliance which Luffy was involved in, turning Fullalead into a proper Pirate Haven and a place of Pirate Democracy known as the Pirate Court. Don't get Harry wrong, he likes going to Fullalead, especially when there is lots of fun things to do there. But when it comes to... political business, all the festivities come to a halt and it's not worth going when you have to behave, not cause trouble or do anything fun while the court meeting is established until it's officially adjourned.
And truth be told, he'd rather be in other Pirate Havens such as Jaya but his mother Nami wouldn't let him, given her past experience and humiliation from Bellemy's former crew. Still, it'd be fun there than waiting in the boring silence in Fullalead.
"Harry, I know what you're like when we ever talk about Fullalead, especially about the Pirate Court meeting," said Luffy with an exasperated sigh for he also hated going there whenever he is summoned. "And I know you rather be at your friend's than come with us. But seeing that you still have no luck contacting Ron, we don't have much of a choice."
"I'd rather be anywhere than there," said Harry.
"Unfortunately, you can't," said Luffy crossing his arms. "You're too young to be on your own, you're only allowed to go off exploring for a few hours, not for a few days. Not until you're 17."
"Surely that meeting wouldn't be that long, right?" said Usopp with a nervous chuckle.
"The last meeting in the court, regarding Akainu's declaration of war against us, it lasted almost a couple of day." Said Luffy with an exasperated growl. "True it was mainly resulted in harsh arguments and violent brawling, but that's politics."
The Straw Hats groaned from this, especially Nami who is part of the court due to her Pirate Queen status, along with the most of the Straw Hats (Robin, Zoro, Jimbei and surprisingly Usopp with their status of Pirate Legends).
"The point is, we don't know how long this court meeting will be, meaning I can't let you go on your own until it's over, Harry." Said Luffy. "So until then, when we reach there, you're under ship arrest."
Harry scoffs at his father and returns to his meal.
"This is bogus," Harry scoffed. "So, I have to stay here, be quiet and do nothing?"
"You're over exaggerating, Harry," said Nami. "You just need to stay on board the ship and be quiet, you can do something while the meeting takes place, but nothing noisy to disrupt us."
Harry still frowns and pouts in front of his untouched plate, Luffy smiles sympathetically and outstretches his hand to pat his son's shoulder.
"I know you hate this, so do I. But I assure you, it'll be over before you know it. And besides, you love Fullalead," said Luffy. "you like the beaches, exploring the towns, hanging out with the rookies, and visiting Skull Rock Castle."
"Only when your boring court meeting is over," said Harry. "and when it is on, all that is fun to do in Fullalead is banned until the court meeting is over. According to that stupid code you wrote with the Emperors."
Luffy forfeits with a sigh, this argument is about to go nowhere with Harry, given how stubborn the prince is.
"Well, there is the great feast we'll have in there afterwards. Along with a party in town, consisting the Davy Back fights, knowing you will join in to win prizes and glory against other rookies." Said Luffy with his usual grin at Harry.
"Yeah, when it's AFTER your boring meeting, and during that it's nothing but boring peace, doing absolutely NOTHING!" Harry still scowling at this news about going to Fullalead and storms outs out of the mess hall.
The Straw Hats rolled their eyes at Harry, there is no pleasing him.
(End of Flashback)
"Harry, I would agree with you, but you of all people should know how important this is, with me being Pirate King and all," Said Luffy
"I thought being Pirate King means you get to do whatever you want?" said Harry frowning at his dad.
"Of course it does, but in order to maintain that right, there is one condition I must uphold to keep it," Said Luffy. "and besides, there'll be a wondrous feast and party afterwards, including Davy Back fights."
Harry is unconvinced, he grumbled and blinked from sight so he can resume his duty as lookout with Zoro up on the crow's nest. Belle rolled her eyes and heads for the stern to help Usopp tend to the Pop Green Garden.
Luffy sighs from this as his two children leave the main deck, being a father is much harder than being a pirate, and that's saying much considering the dangerous adventures he had throughout the years. Hell, he'll take a rematch from Kaido or Loki anytime than deal with his own son and daughters. He's just lucky that Hinagiku is at her best behaviour this summer, despite her new pirate status as the Pirate Rookie Snakevine.
Speaking of which, the young Kuja Princess is currently helping Usopp with his Pop Green Garden, which also helps her practice her new Wood-Wood Fruit Powers, which she's getting a knack of for the past few weeks. And like Harry, she's making a name of herself when she does her own short adventures and minor heists against rival pirates. But right now, all she wanted to do is relax from her pirating and help Usopp with cultivate his Pop Greens, which she found quite fascinating, especially when she's now part of nature.
"So you found those in the Boin Archipelago?" asked Hinagiku whilst weeding the garden with a trowel.
"That's right, though the islands are actually giant carnivorous plants that grow food-based lures that taste like their original counterparts to lure in Sea Kings to prey on," Said Usopp as he harvests Pop Green seeds from his plants. "I was almost plant food myself when I over-indulged and gotten fat from it. Fortunately I had Master Heracles with me at the time."
"Do you ever wish to go back there, just to meet him again?" Hinagiku asked the gunner.
"It's... debatable," said Usopp scratching his temple with his index fingernail as he thought about it. Although his expression does show hesitation... no, nervousness. "I mean, I do miss Master Heracles, but I definitely DO NOT miss the Boin Archipelagos. I mean, why go back to a pseudo-island that wants to eat me? And besides, I don't risk it, due to my Go-to-that-island-and-I'll die disease."
Hinagiku rolled her eyes at that last part, but Usopp does have a point, the Boin islands are too risky to go, for they might end up deciding to have him or, Oda forbid, the rest of the Straw Hats for dinner instead of their usual titanic prey. It doesn't take long for Belle to join, especially when she was recently assigned to help Usopp as a form a punishment for brawling Harry, even though it wasn't her fault.
"Hey," said a disheartened Belle to her sister.
"Hey," said Hinagiku calmly to Belle. "Harry still at it again?"
Belle scoffs from this and joins in Hinagiku with tending the Pop Green plants.
"He accuses me for stealing that damn book," said Belle. "I mean, it's handy when I can speak with Hermione with it, but when it goes missing, he takes it out on me."
"Well, you do have a reputation," said Hinagiku. "Considering who your mother is."
"Hey, just because I'm the daughter of Cat Burglar Nami, doesn't mean that I'm a greedy klepto... most of the time," Said Belle.
"Tell that to those you swindled and conned off," said Hinagiku. "You remember how you asked me to make you a fake Devil Fruit with my powers and you sold it for millions?"
"Which I shared out with you," said Hinagiku shrugging her shoulders. "But that's not the point, I don't steal from family."
"What about that payback you gave Harry for him nicking your bottle of pumpkin Juice?" said Hinagiku with a raised brow.
"...okay, I'll admit I wanted payback for that and later hid away his Nimbus 2000," said Belle with annoyance. "But I gave it back."
"So you're being honest with not stealing his book," said Hinagiku
"Of course I am, I even helped to find it," said Belle. "Do you have any idea how long it's been since it went missing? I haven't talked to Hermione for a days. I even tried to owl Hermione, only for me to never get a letter from her."
"That is strange," said Hinagiku for something similar happened to her also when she once wrote a letter to Daphne Greengrass, who she became friends with during her short stay at Hogwarts after her training in Amazon Lily with the Kujas. But at the same time, she never got a letter from Daphne either, which is strange for the alleged Ice Queen of Slytherin isn't the kind to ghost the Kuja Princess. "Daphne definitely told me to owl her when it's possible, and yet, Hedwig returns with nothing? There is no way she can be that incompetent."
"I know right?" said Belle sharing Hinagiku's suspicion. "Something must be responsible for Harry's missing book and our missing post."
"Meaning that something or someone is trying to stop us from contacting with our friends on the other side," Said Hinagiku with a frown. This got her angry that vines starts to sprout and grown all around her arms, and the tips take the form of hissing snake heads.
"Hey, easy with the snake vines, Snakevine!" exclaimed Usopp when a couple of Hinagiku's sprouted snake vines starts snapping at the gunner.
"Oh, sorry Usopp," said Hinagiku when she took notice of this and recalled her snake vines back.
Crow's Nest/Training Room
Harry blinked into the crow's nest/ training room to assist Zoro on lookout duty, but it seems like Harry will be on looking out on his own since the Swordsman is currently napping on the job, especially when he's hugging a gourd of sake in his arms. Harry rolled his eyes and scoffs from this while heading for the window facing the bow where he can look down to see Jimbei working at the Helm with his mum Nami discussing the current route to him with a sea chart in her hand, which suggest that the route in question is their current destination, which is Fullalead at the New World.
Harry groans for he is not head over heals about the trip to the famed Pirate Island, not when it's strictly for business. He sighs from this and looks ahead at the horizon, making sure that the coast is clear which is doubtful since the Grand Line is always dangerous. Ignoring Zoro's snoring and drunk grumbling, Harry is getting bored up here for there is nothing interesting to do here. Up in the crow's nest, all around is nothing but workout items such as training weights, dumbbells, a workout bench, and other exercise equipment Zoro uses. Apart from being a lookout, the Crow's Nest is also Zoro's training room, for is daily working out, but right now the swordsman is asleep and would be very grumpy to wake up.
Not wanting to risk that, Harry remains quiet and does his boring job until he is relieved of duty by his dad, Oda knows how long will that take. Over time, he would procrastinate by doing some working out himself, such as taking a pair of weights and doing some reps on his arms, blow some steam on the hanging punching bags to help him vent off his frustration, and practice his bojutsu with his Bo staff that he summoned with his Blink-Blink Fruit powers. As he train and look out at the same time, all is fine on his end which is nothing but smooth sailing for the Straw Hats aboard their ship the Thousand Sunny. But Harry knows that the calm wouldn't last, especially when the sea they are sailing on is the Grand Line, especially the half of it is called the New World, which is considered the most dangerous than it's other half which is ironically called Paradise.
After his workout, Harry took a break and sits by the window to rest and resume his lookout duty, especially when he broke a sweat from his procrastinating workout. He looks afar on the horizon, and as usual nothing is on sight, apart from the clouds and the evening sun slowly setting on the horizon. Despite resting by the window, Harry is still bored and annoyed, with him unable to contact Ron since all communication to the other side is oddly inaccessible, all he could do is think is about missing the fun he'll have with his new friends.
Suddenly, Harry felt a presence behind him and swiftly turns to face it with his wand in hand. And what he saw immediately surprised him, for what he saw wasn't human, it's too small to be one. The creature is bald, short and skinny, it has big round eyes the size of tennis balls, a long pointed nose similar to a certain Foxy Pirate has, and a pair of large bat-like ears. But what's more shocking to Harry is the clothes it's wearing, it's a make-shift robe made out of an old pillowcase.
"Please, don't hex Dobby," pleaded the creature with his hands up when Harry aimed his wand at it. "Dobby means no harm, especially to you, Harry Potter."
"Who are you?" said Harry to the strange creature Harry sees himself facing. He keeps his wand out, out of cautions for he needs to remain vigilant while sailing the Grand Line.
"I'm Dobby, sir," said the creature introducing himself. "Dobby the House Elf,"
Harry lowers his wand, he read about house elves, and despite the controversy of wizards owning them as servants, he did find them fascinating. Especially when they are one the creatures who are capable of using magic themselves. This would be the first time he ever met a House Elf, and to be honest, he was expecting... something else.
"Not to be rude, but this isn't the right time and place to have a house elf around," said Harry, still annoyed for various things, like his missing book, not receiving post from his friends and especially going to Fullalead so his father can attend to a meeting in the Pirate Court.
"Of course, please forgive me, sir," Dobby said apologetically. "It's just that Dobby has come to tell you... It's difficult, sir."
"Sit down, please," said Harry as he puts his wand away and offers Dobby a place to sit beside him. But what Harry didn't expect is the shocked reaction from Dobby and him bursting into tears. This freaked Harry out, for he didn't want Dobby to wake up Zoro and alert the swordsman when he sees a strange stowaway on board, and that would get Harry even more trouble. "Please, shush, I'm sorry if I offended you."
"Offend Dobby?" said the House while in tears. "Dobby has heard of your greatness, sir. But never has he be asked to sit down by a wizard... like an equal."
This made Harry feel awkward, especially when he did learn about how the House Elves were is treated unfairly by their masters, even if the servitude elves give to their witch and wizard masters were consensual and fairly paid with magic.
"You can't have met many decent wizards then," Harry tried to joke around to make Dobby feel better. Unfortunately it failed.
"No, I have not," said Dobby as he makes his way to one of Zoro's training equipment, and starts banging his head with it. "Bad Dobby! Bad Dobby!"
"Hey," Harry quietly exclaimed to the House Elf and pulled him away from the dumbbell Dobby is hitting his head with. "That's enough of that."
"Forgive me, sir," said Dobby. "Dobby had to punish himself, Dobby almost spoke ill of his family sir."
"Your family?" said Harry
"The wizarding family Dobby serves, sir," said Dobby. "Dobby is bound to serve one family forever..."
"In exchange of some of their magic, I know," said Harry. "so is it like a symbiotic relationship between you and the wizard family you serve. You serve them and they give you magic as sustenance?"
"Yes, although most wizards don't see it that way, but Dobby doesn't mind," Said Dobby. "Dobby must be loyal, so that the bond remains indefinite, even if Dobby must undergo punishments for making mistakes."
"They punish you for making mistakes?" said Harry with a frown. "That's rather unnecessary you think?
"It's Dobby's fault, one time when Dobby accidently burnt the master's shirts, Dobby had to iron his hands to make amends."
"And they let you do that?" said Harry still frowning the more he hears about the mistreatment Dobby endures.
"Dobby dealt worse, sir. More than what Dobby will face should they find out I'm here, to warn you," Said Dobby. "Harry Potter must not go back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this year."
"What?" said Harry in shock.
"There is a plot, a plot to make terrible things happen," Said Dobby with dread on his face. "Things that will put Harry Potter in grave danger."
"What terrible things?" said Harry in confusion. "Who's plotting them?"
"I... can't say," said Dobby as he struggles to say, and judging how the way he acts. It's like a mental conflict battling in his brain.
But Harry got the gist, seeing that Dobby is loyal to the family he's serving an he can't speak any ill of them, especially committing treason by exposing them.
"It's alright, Dobby, you don't have to say anything," said Harry reassuring the house elf. "But regardless, I'm still going to Hogwarts."
"B-But,"
"Whatever awaits, it can't be as bad as the danger I'm currently in now," said Harry as he shows what's beyond the horizon.
Dobby looks out the window to see a pirate flotilla sailing towards the Sunny, Harry calmly grabs the receiver from the Den Den Mushi and shouts. "Ships ahoy! Flotilla sighted on the horizon!"
Harry then pressed a button which caused an alarm to klaxon before he takes his leave to assist the crew for battle.
"Zoro, wake up, we're under attack," Harry said while he nudges the sleeping swordsman with his boot.
"Huh, what?" said Zoro
"An ambush, heading towards us," said Harry as he climbs down from the hatch and lowers from the mast ladder.
"Oh, right," said Zoro as he joins in with Harry, not noticing Dobby inside the crow's nest with them. Even oblivious of the Elf's existence.
Main deck
Harry and Zoro descends from the crow's nest and heads for the bow with the rest of the crew, there they come across the incoming fleet of pirate shipping heading their way. Luffy is using a spyglass to see who is foolish to challenge him.
"Make way for the King of the Pirates! HA, HA, HA!"
WANTED: DEAD OR ALIVE
DEMALO "THREE TONGUED" BLACK
REWARD: 26'000'000 B
"Oh no, not him again," Luffy with exasperation.
"So, who is it?' said Harry
"That nutjob who think he's me," said Luffy. "You know, it's that bloody pretender back from Sabody Archipelago, where we regroup after two years of separation."
"Oh, no...not him," exclaimed everyone for they had the misfortune of meeting those fakers.
Demalo Black, crudely dressed as Luffy in his Gear 5 form and now batshit crazy. Over the past 9 years of conning gullible pirates by impersonating the big leagues... and failing, he suddenly succumbs to madness, and even believed himself to be the King of the Pirates and Luffy the imposter. Unfortunately, Pirates these days are so gullible that they believe Demalo Black is Luffy and Luffy is the imposter... which is bloody annoying to the Pirate King. The False King made himself known on the figurehead of his shoddy looking version of the Thousand Sunny, which is quite insulting to the eyes of our favourite Cyborg.
"Are they fucking serious, how dare they insult the Sunny like that!" exclaimed Franky, tightening his massive robotic fist to contain his rage.
"Indeed, it's is in poor taste," said Robin frowning disapprovingly at the fake Sunny. "I get his madness, but his insults we won't tolerate."
Luffy calms himself, this isn't the first time he ever confronted this mad charlatan and his unflattering imitation. In fact, Demalo Black went through many versions of imitations, such as him imitating Eustass Kid and Buggy the Clown. And what's sadder, those who are so gullible believed Demalo is one of those he claims to be. So when Luffy turns his gaze upon the other ships, it's a miracle that they're stupider than he.
"Surrender now, imposter, return the One Piece to me, your rightful king!" Demalo ranted madly at Luffy. "I am the incarnation of Joyboy, the greatest pirate that ever lived in the Void Century. The One Piece is my birth right! So is the great Will of D!"
Luffy palms from this and turn his back at the mad false king, he gives his crew a nod of approval and walks away for he doesn't want to fight this insane fool. And to be honest, neither do the rest of the Straw Hats, for they find Demalo's ranting and crazy display sad. Clearly the triple-tongued fraud delve into his lies too much, he even believed he's the real Monkey D Luffy and has succumbed to his own delusions, corrupting his already wicked mind to the depths of insanity. And because of that, it doesn't feel right to attack this poor fool when he's no longer himself.
But seeing that they are in a hurry, they have no choice.
BOOM
Suddenly, ships surrounding the Sunny starts to blow up one by one, the cause of this was by Robin using her Flower-Flower Fruit powers to light up a match to one of the power kegs in the hulls, igniting the gunpowder and blowing either each ship up or just cause enough damage to make them sink instantly. Regardless, each and ever ship that surrounds the Sunny is blown up and currently sinking, leaving only the fake Sunny standing before the True King's vessel. Demalo was outraged by this and yell "attack" to his remain crew to begin their assault. The False King's men leaps and swings aboard the Sunny, but the Straw Hats are well ready as they charge into battle.
During the battle, Dobby remains atop the Crow's Nest to watch the chaos rage, he can see that the Straw Hats are no pushovers when it comes to fighting pirates, but the news of the plot afoot in Hogwarts still concerns the House-Elf, and he need Harry away from the school by any means necessary.
End of Chapter
