SpiritWarriot: Well your theory is about 60% correct, but there are a LOT of other possibilities and rules to his power. Also thanks for the advice.
Gargoylegecko: Well I don't know how to say this, but thank you!
C: No, thank you for reading!
Log 13: It has been approximately 2 hours since acquiring the Moku Moku abilities. The first preliminary observation of a Logia abilities is complete nullification to physical attacks. Said subject was able to extend parts of his body, using smoke as a connection. Further testing is required.
Lyson stood in the middle of a hotel room he rented, shutting the windows and lighting up a candle for light. He places his bag on the bed before pulling out a large tin box and placing it on the bed. Unlatching the box revealed a foam interior with three items inside, a tennis-ball size sphere made of dark blue material with a hook attached to the side, a small dark ring, and a pair of thick gloves. Lyson first takes the gloves and puts them on before taking the ring in his hands. He sits down crisscrossed on the floor where his notebook is laid spread out and a candle illuminating the area. Lyson sticks his left hand out, closes his eyes, and focuses, the buzzing sensations returning before he feels a fluid feeling in his arm.
He opens his eyes to see that the area from his wrist to his elbow has completely been turned to smoke, clothing and all.
"This is...weird." Lyson quips as he flexes his severed hand. He tries to touch his forearm, but his gloved hand passes right through the smoke. Curious, he takes the small ring in his gloved hand and holds it right above his smokey arm. Taking a deep breath, he drops the ring and watches it fall. As soon as the ring falls towards his arm, instead of passing through it as everything else did, the ring is somehow bending the smoke, like how a marble falls on top of a pillow.
Not a moment after the ring impacts his smoke arm, it immediately reverts back to normal as Lyson slumps to the ground, the ring still caught on his arm.
"Ughhhh. I still hate that feeeeeeeeling." Lyson says tired, and with what little strength he had, he shakes his arm enough that the ring slides right off. The ring clatters to the ground as Lyson picks himself up. He goes over to his notebook on the ground and picks it up, along with a pen.
Log 13B: The effects of Sea Prism Stone on Logia users seem to be able to impact them, even if they are in their elemental forms. Contact with it also completely nullifies their forms, converting them back into their original forms. In contact with Logia users that have more fluid forms, the material seems to bend the element and revert it back into flesh. The effects on clothes need further examination. An instance of a Logia user being able to manipulate their element outside of their body needs to be tested.
Lyson leaves the hotel building after doing some more research and heads walks down the road and up some steps to a nearby bench. He sits down and sighs.
'I only have 1 hour left of use, I knew I shouldn't have tried to control the candle smoke.' Lyson thinks as he ponders what to do next. 'I have what I need here, but I need to keep going. Not many ships here are going to the Grand Line and I doubt that there's a pirate ship going there with a monster like Smoker here. I need to make a plan to secure a safe passage, but there isn't any merchant ship with the courage to go to the Grand Line.' He gets up and begins to walk down a set of stairs, hands in his pocket.
'The day a chance like that happens, monkeys are gonna fall from the sky.'
"aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh..."
Lyson stops at the strange voice he heard and looks around for the source but sees no one yelling.
"aaaAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"
Lyson then realizes the sound is coming from above and when he looks up the last thing he remembers is a blur of red, blue, and yellow before nothing but darkness.
"Man, I really flew far away," Luffy says as he lays on the ground after being flung. "What the heck was that guy's deal?"
Luffy then yawns as he takes his hat in his hands, "Guess I can take a nap-" but stops when he feels something twitch under him.
"Eh?" Luffy sits up and looks at the ground and sees that he landed on another person. A teen with purple hair, a bright sleeveless red jacket, and black pants laid unconscious, eyes white. Luffy stares at him for a good minute, still sitting on his lower half, before giving out a short, "Sorry," and getting up.
Luffy snickers at the expression of the teen "Nihihi, he looks like he got hit by a ship. Better get him off the ground." Luffy grabs one of his arms and pulls on it before turning and making his way to a nearby bench. When he gets to the bench he turns around, still holding one arm over his shoulder, and says "There you gooOOAAAAAAHHH!" Luffy's face morphs into one of bewilderment when he sees that the teen's arms stretched from his spot on the ground to where Luffy stood.
"AWESOME!" Luffy cries out, accidentally letting go of the arm as it snaps back to its owner. Luffy, excited, runs back to the teen and inspects his face.
"I thought I was the only one with the Gomu-Gomu fruit!" Luffy then tries to pull the teen's face and it stretches like his own. "Is he like my Gomu-Gomu brother?"
Luffy continues to play around with the rubber human some more, pulling his head until the neck extended, pulling apart his face and taking his arms, and run farther away until it stretched out.
"Ugh, my head..." Luffy sees that the teen is coming to and a mischievous smile comes to his face. He makes his way to the nearest lampost, stretched arms still in hand, and ties the arms to the post.
The teen finally comes to and when he opens his eyes, he tries to get up, and when he looks down at his arms, his eyes widen.
A moment passes.
'WHAT THE HELL!?" He screams, eyes bugging out of his sockets. He tries to get up but slips and lands on his face while Luffy laughs. The teen whips his head at the laughing pirate and his eyes widen in recognition before narrowing. He starts to walk towards the lampost, his back away from Luffy, and looks at the knot made by his wrists. He closes his eyes, focusing, and Luffy can only see some white smoke come from him as he pulls his hand free.
"Woah! How did you do that?" Luffy asks, "Are you a rubber human too?" but the other teen turns to Luffy, walking up to him, and asks in a quiet but stern voice, "How long?"
Luffy cocks his head at the question, but the teen roughly grabs him by the vest and violently shakes him, "HOW LONG DID YOU TOUCH ME?!" he yelled, earning him some strange stares from the bystanders.
Luffy, head bobbing back and forth, only starts picking his nose, "I dunno."
The teen then lets go of Luffy, takes a deep breath, and begins to walk away.
'Idiot! Imbecile! Moron! Ugh, I can't even think of any words for that guy! I had a Logia power in stock but now I probably have anything from 10 minutes to 10 seconds left.' When Lyson gets far enough from the teen, he stops to think about what exactly just happened.
"He said something about being a 'rubber human'. I swear I saw that somewhere", he reaches for the book on his hip and begins to flip through the pages until he stops at a page with a detailed picture of a purple swirled fruit.
The Gomu Gomu Fruit turns the user into a rubber human.
No further data.
"What? Is there nothing else to it?" Lyson says as he looks at the absence of data. There is only that small text and a picture of the fruit on that page. "How is that possible? This is the most advanced encyclopedia in the world!"
"Hey, that looks just like the fruit I ate!" A voice behind Lyson quips. Time seems to slow down for Lyson as two stretchy arms come from behind him, wrapping themselves around him as a heavy weight attaches to his back. Lyson stumbles from the added weight and while he was distracted his book is swiped from his hands. When it's gone from his hands, the extra weight disappears. Lyson turns around and sees that the rubber person behind him holding the book, turning it in various ways as if trying to read it.
"Hey! Give that back!" Lyson reaches to grab the book back, but the rubber teen in faster and moves out of the way. Even after Lyson's hand misses, it continues to stretch forward, freaking out the scientist.
"Gah! How do you turn this off?"
"Nihihi! You look stupid!" The rubber teen laughs as Lyson's hand flops to the ground, like a fish in the water. Lyson pulls his hand back and it comes back to him, but the force of the recoil causes him to fall on his back, much to the amusement of the rubber teen. Lyson growls in anger as he pulls himself up and reaches into his other leather pouch. In the other pouch, he pulls out a chain whip with a Morningstar at the end of it and begins swinging it in his hands. He swings it at the rubber boy and is able to wrap the chain around his wrist. With a quick tug, the book flies out of his hand and soars through the air towards Lyson as he catches it.
"Hey! I was trying to read that!" The boy exclaims but as soon as Lyson checks the condition of his book and sees no damage, he puts it back in its pouch and begins to walk away. Lyson hears the boy begin to call after him, but decides to ignore him and turns a corner into an alley. As soon as he does he closes his eyes, focusing, and mutters,
"Kopī:Hobā-Hobā*: Air step"
Like walking up an invisible flight of stairs, Lyson begins to ascend into the air with each step he takes, until he's high enough to sit on a nearby balcony. As soon as he sits, the rubber boys turn the corner of the alley, looking confused.
"Huh? I thought I saw him here." He says, scratching his head through his hat. He then cups his mouth and yells, "OKAY GUMO BROTHER. I'LL SEE YOU LATER!" and runs off down the street. Lyson, still on the high ground, quirks an eyebrow and sighs in relief before jumping off the balcony to walk back down, but when he tries to take a step on air, his foot hits nothing.
"Oh shiiiiiiiii-" Lyson falls off the balcony and hits the hard pavement headfirst with a hard smack. He lays there for a moment, groaning in pain from the impact.
"Oooowwwwww" he groans until he gets up suddenly, holding his face. "Wait, that didn't hurt at all." he begins to pat down his body, searching for anything sore, broken, or bruised, but finds nothing wrong.
"Well, I guess being a rubber human isn't so bad, even though I can't use one of my other powers for a while..." Lyson leaves the alley, first checking for any sign of the rubber boy, and heads back down the main road in hope of finding a way to the Grand Line.
*Hobā = Hover
Well, another chapter down, a few hundred left!
*Laughing loudly until it eventually turns to sobs*
There's about only one more chapter about their time in Loguetown until Lyson meets with the rest of the gang and shenanigans ensue, but I got a lot of stuff planned for you guys!
Until next time, peace out!
