Omni-Piece: Race to the One-Piece!
I am working on a second Ben 10/One Piece crossover as I work on the Oneshot with what happens without Ben in the crew.
I will work on this and other projects in my spare time and keep you all updated!
Anything with '¬¬' will be bounties.
Chapter 1: ALIVE!
Marcus Aurelius once said: "Time is like a river made up of the events which happen, and a violent stream; for as soon as a thing has been seen, it is carried away, and another comes in its place, and this will be carried away too."
No one knows where this quote came from but the man who gave Marcus Aurelius the forefront of time... This man was outside of the normal flow of time; most universes heard tales of him and even Celestialsapiens somewhat feared him.
He knows all the shortcuts all the twists and turns that time may take; all the future events, and all the trials and disasters that could happen if time was just one endless flow of events... but time isn't like that.
He is Paradox, a man who saw time as 'just a bore' and 'irrelevant' in his first millennia alone outside of existence... he saw reality made and fall, heroic journeys come to a ghastly end... and his favourite, outside of time he saw the multiverse come to be. All the twists and turns that could happen... they did. Some even piqued his interest like a universe where humans rode on dragons... what fun that one was... but being outside of time, he also saw the dark truth... some universes don't have a happy ending...
Some even have darker fates in store for them... but an event will soon happen, and a hero misplaced and out of his reality will return...
...
...
Right about Now!
Water filled the floating island of Water 7; the Aqua Laguna struck the city almost sinking the badly damaged ship, a familiar-looking ship... a ship with a familiar-looking logo; just with a mild modification to its sail as a symbol of respect of their fallen crew mate, sitting in the jaw of the skull wearing a Straw-Hat was a symbol of great respect between the crew members of the Straw Hat crew... the symbol was of MULTIFORM'S logo.
Sitting on the deck of this ship sat a man covering his face, he sat sobbing into his arms that were folded upwards covering his face.
"Why did I do that?" the man asks no one, he was shouting at the island like it stole everything from him. Which was kinda true; even his new 'Devil Fruit' power didn't help him...
"WHY COULDN'T I GET A GOOD POWER!" the man adds punching his fist into the mast of the ship, but then winces as he cradles his hand.
"Why indeed?" a voice asks from behind him; he ignores it because it's not possible... 'he' died at Alabasta... fighting a fight that 'HE' knew 'he' wouldn't win... but 'he' wanted to do it for the crew... the crew that out of respect all decided to update the Straw Hat Logo... even Luffy... who decided to let Chopper wear 'his' coat.
Gods... Chopper didn't stop crying until he killed a marine who mocked the coat... his 'brother's' coat... his bounty arrived not that long after that.
The smile that broke on Chopper's face matched the tears that were shed that day... ¬Tony Tony Chopper 'True Monster'¬ The crew raided a marine headquarters after that... they forgot to add 'his' name. It was updated after that... hell even Sanji and Nami got a bounty that day. How Sanji got a weirdly drawn picture still annoyed the man in question.
"Come on Ussop get off your butt and do something." the voice says; Usopp turns around to make sure that 'he' wasn't on the deck of the ship... but nothing, but the voice of his dear former friend was right... He had to do something.
Sitting chained up in a train wasn't the highlight of Nico Robin's life, but at least she could do something to help out... especially after what happened.
Leaving Alabasta wasn't joyful for her new crew... she never met their lookout... and from the sight that greeted them when they got to their ship she probably never would... the doctor broke down in tears when he found his 'Brothers' coat it was almost buried under the sand that accumulated from whatever happened.
Luffy stood shocked before grabbing Chopper and the coat, they had to leave too quickly... too fast to morn the loss of a crew member, but when they hit open waters leaving Alabasta tears flowed from Luffy who wrapped his arms around Chopper... they cried together until night came, Luffy didn't eat for a while... it scared their cook... who wasn't even the same for a while.
Took them raiding a Marine headquarters to update Chopper's bounty to get Luffy to smile and eat again, their cook and swordsman were back to being normal... bickering like usual; then came the island in the sky... now that brightened the cloudy mood in the crew; only until the lighting man showed up... took some doing but they beat him.
Luffy broke his rule when they found Chopper hunched over 'his' coat to make the captain of the Straw Hats snap and kill him... now that was something to see... Luffy broke again when we left back to the waters below, but saw that killing was ending a dream especially when you try to burn something that is family-owned.
Nami ended up eating that man's Devil Fruit; took some talking to Luffy to allow it though... how it ended up on the Going Merry no one knows... it was sitting on her desk with a single gumball beside it... We had our heading... wind filled the sails of the Going Merry.
After a while came Foxy... Luffy did jump into a fight with him, but a one-round affair, he didn't want even think about losing any more crew members. So it was decided that he'd fight him head-on... and he won of course; he didn't even want anything from Foxy... but just to leave and never return, which the pirate of cheating took without any word.
Then the ship came to Water 7... and now is where we find ourselves and where we find Nico Robin on her way to Enies Lobby, a fortification of immense size... and where Nico Robin will finally end...
"HEY COME ON!" a voice, a familiar voice says, the familiarity of that voice shakes Nico Robin from her musings...
"I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" the voice adds, Nico Robin pales... she didn't want them to follow, but here he is... Usopp owner of the Ammo-Ammo Fruit... the ability to create any sort of ammo from anything he can touch... Nico Robin saw him use it when they were on Jaya just before the Straw Hats left for Skypiea. It was kinda funny watching him freak out when touching a door and it became little door-shaped bullets... he then freaked out after finding out he had to swap from his slingshot to a musket. He adapted quite quickly...
"Can you shut up you yappin' it's messing with my 'SUPER' Hearing!" the second voice says; his voice still as grating as when he first landed on the train, Nico Robin had to tune him out... took a while... but eventually he became white noise to her.
"Be quiet!" the voice of her nightmares states his grin filling her view; even though it's not him exactly... Nico Robin can't help but see his face on this dillweed... his son or something... Spandam... Nico Robin still sees his face over his dillweed of a son...
"Ah, you still don't like me?" Spandam adds his grin wide and annoying to Nico Robin, who'd love to smack that look off his stupid face.
He leans back in his chair his smile never leaving his face; he pulls out a golden snail from inside his coat he rubs the button on top of the snail's back with his gloved fingers.
"DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!" Nico Robin says finally; her eyes full of unshed tears she watches as the torment of her life teases her with the snail of her nightmares, the one that haunts her every thought, especially with what happened to her home...
Rushing through the waterlogged streets of Water 7 was the Captain of the Straw Hat crew; his name is Monkey D Luffy, and painted on his jacket was the updated logo of the Straw Hat Pirates; rain covered his face as he headed towards where 'Icepops' told the rest of his crew to head towards.
The Crew had a plan to save Robin and no one, not those fake shipwrights would stop Luffy... especially after telling Robin that he'd always protect her. Never again will a crewmember have to die under his lead.
Zoro would cut up anyone who'd get in their way!
Nami would shock everyone with her new Devil Fruit powers!
Sanji... where ever he is would kick, and continue to kick any ass that got in his way; he still had his morals about women though.
Chopper would show everyone that his 'brothers' legacy lived through him, and live up to his new bounty of being a 'True Monster' and even though Luffy and Ussop fought to save the Going Merry, he hoped that his sniper would come to save Robin at the last possible moment...
Hell, Luffy even hoped that this storm was a sign from 'him' the friend and brother 'he' came to be in Luffy's eyes... A Hero that will always be remembered.
"Shitty Gramps!" Luffy's soft voice says, his eyes not showing from under his soaked Straw Hat... This storm was a sign that Robin would come home... come back to the Merry... and watch her last journey together... Luffy promised that...
"Ah Young Monkey D Luffy. Is it that time again?" a familiar voice shakes Luffy from his thoughts; standing with his back leant up on the wall of a house was the strange teleporting figure... the EXACT same man that left Luffy to care for his dearly departed friend.
"You... Strange teleporting man... Poradox right?" Luffy asks forgetting the man in question's name; the man laughs off Luffy's question with a wave of his gauntlet-covered hand as to say 'No worries about that or anything else'
"Yes, that's me... my young friend. You have a journey ahead of you... a journey that will change your crew for the worse... or is it the better? Since leaving my young charge within your care time here has become out of tune." Paradox says pulling a clock from inside his jacket as he looks at the clock his face brightens.
"Ah time is back on course, let me remind you... Brighter Before the Dawn a return will come... that is all!" Paradox says as he says 'Brighter Before the Dawn a Return will Come' he gets right into Luffy's face, and with a cheeky grin he vanishes when he adds 'That is all' Luffy looks where the strange teleporting man was, and in his former place was a gumball, and a Vivre card; signed on the back was a name that was impossible... because 'HE' died at Alabasta... but this card never lies... and it's full... no burns or nothing to signal that anything happened to him... but that means!
"BEN IS ALIVE!" Luffy shouts out; his voice seems to carry around Water 7; the crew members who are separated seem to hear that shout of joy from their captain; who tucked the Vivre card into his Strawhat that fell onto his back, with two cards tucked safely into his hat Luffy, he put the hat back onto his head. Luffy then lept into the air... and as he landed his smile fell as he was reminded that Robin was still in trouble... but if Ben was back... then getting Robin back would be easy as pie... and Luffy hates pie.
