“So, that’s Loguetown?” Luffy asked as the island appeared on the horizon.

“Yeah.” Nami responded.

“What are we all going to do when we arrive?” Gohan asked.

“I want to see where he died.” Luffy said, first.

“I’m going to stock up on ingredients.” Sanji said second.

“I’m going to see if I can find any useful equipment, for Nami’s staff.” Usopp answered.

“I need to buy two new swords...” Zoro trailed off, looking at Nami whose eyes seemed to shine.

“I’ll loan you the money Zoro… at 300% interest rate.” Nami said with a big grin.

“You witch!” Zoro shouted.

“…Isn’t that a little excessive?” Gohan asked, looking to Nami, who just shook her head, “…You know what, how much do you need Zoro?” he asked, reaching for the pouch hanging from his waist.

Gohan had found out that Perception Filter Ability made people not question anything related to the system, which is why he decided to have the storage look like the pouch that used to carry the Senzu Beans. When he did that, he received a reward of 15 million berries some of which he was going to give to Zoro, so he didn’t have to pay Nami’s excessive interest rate.

“I can’t…” Zoro started but stopped when Gohan raised his hand.

“No, I should be the one to pay for your new swords anyway since it’s my fault the other two broke.” Gohan replied shaking his head. The one’s he made earlier had broken during a sparring session after he transformed the Power Pole into a sword to practice his skills.

“Why don’t you make him two more?” Nami interrupted.

“I did but they broke too, I think I need to practice making swords some more before I can make some proper ones.” Gohan explained.

“…Oh ok.” Nami said nodding.

“So?” Gohan asked looking at Zoro.

“…Maybe 1 million.” Zoro answered after thinking for a bit.

“Here’s 3, just in case.” Gohan said handing him the money.

“Thank you, Gohan.” Zoro said nodding at him, “I’ll pay you back.”

“Don’t worry about it, just continue helping me practice my swordsmen ship and we’re even.” Gohan said.

“Hmm…you got it.” Zoro said smiling at him.

“…so, where are you going to go?” Nami asked.

“I don’t know…maybe I’ll go to a few bookstores.” Gohan answered.

“Really?” Nami asked.

“…Yeah, I mean the book I got on Fishmen Karate is pretty interesting, I want to see if I can find more books on different forms of Marital Arts.” Gohan answered.

“You already know a few forms of Martial Arts, and you are trying to learn from that book you found. Why would you want to learn more?” Usopp asked.

“…I’m the crew’s Martial Artist, right?” Gohan asked as they nodded, “Well, it’s my job to know the different forms of Martial Arts that are out there and how to defend against them, and maybe I can find one that will work better for you guys.”

Gohan had tried to teach them The Demon Style, but he quickly figured out that it didn’t suit any of them which is why he started reading the book on Fishmen Karate, he had started practicing a few of the moves with some success. “Also, I want to find some books or magazines to help me practice creating more objects. If I know what they look like I can create things better.” He added

“Ah, I see, well that makes sense.” Usopp said nodding his head.

“Yeah, well we all have our plans, let’s meet back here after we’re done.” Nami said looking at everyone.

“Yeah, sounds good.” Gohan said as they started disembarking, and the others started heading off to find what they needed for the journey. “Where are you going?”

“I’m going to buy some clothes.” Nami said with a smile, “Don’t worry I’ll make sure to buy some extra clothes just for your eyes.” she added, giving him a quick kiss and leaving with an extra sway in her hips.

Gohan scratched the back of his head still not knowing how he ended up in the situation, but he wasn’t going to complain, he watched Nami until she disappeared into the crowd before shaking his head and asking someone for directions to a bookstore.

Sanji

Sanji had bought almost everything he needed and still had some money left over, which is why he was browsing some of the stalls looking for something to cook for later, when something caught his attention. It was a massive fish with elephant-like features, “Wow, I’ve never seen this type of fish. What is it?” Sanji asked the fisherman.

“Oh, it’s a Blue-Finned Elephant Tuna.” The Fisherman replied with a grin, “Or Elephant Tuna for short. It’s usually found in the South Blue but sometimes you can get lucky and find a few in our ocean. Today was my day and I was able to catch it this morning.”

“That’s incredible.” Sanji said, nodding at the man, knowing how difficult it must have been to catch such a large fish.

“Thank you.” The Fisherman said smiling, “Will you like me to cut you some?”

“…No thank you I’ll buy it whole.” Sanji answered, when he saw that he had enough money.

“Oh, wow thank you for your purchase.” The fisherman said smiling, “Let me wrap it up for you.” He said getting to work. “…Here you go.”

“Thank you, have a good day.” Sanji said as he placed the fish on his shoulders after paying, “…I should get this back to the Merry.” He muttered as he started walking back.

“Sanji?!” Usopp asked, from behind him carrying his purchases.

“Usopp, you came at a great time, help me carry this to the Merry.” Sanji said.

“Woah, where did you get this?” Usopp asked, shifting his purchases to his other hand to help.

“By the fishermen stalls.” Sanji answered handing Usopp the heavier end of the fish.

“Hey, why do I have to carry the heavier end?” Usopp asked, as his struggled to lift it.

“Hey, you know what Gohan said you need to do some more training to get stronger.” Sanji replied with smile.

“Hmph…fine.” Usopp responded knowing that Sanji had a point, “Speaking of how, are those leg weights?”

“Oh, they taking some getting used to.” Sanji said shifting his legs a bit.

After Gohan learned why he only used his legs to fight he had come up with a different solution to help him get stronger, and that was to give him leg weights. Gohan told him that wearing them will help him by building the strength in his hip and leg muscles which in turn will in turn help increase his speed, power, and even protect his shins.

“Yeah, but that’s why he’s our Martial Artist right?” Usopp responded.

“Yeah…come on let’s get back to the ship.” Sanji said.

“Alright.” Usopp replied.

Zoro

“That was shocking.” Zoro muttered as he strolled through the streets, “…that girl looked too much like Kuina, she was almost a perfect copy. Then there’s also the fact that she’s a swordsman too.” He continued muttering before shaking his head, “I hope I don’t run into her again.”

Zoro eventually came upon a weapon’s shop where he was greeted by the shop keeper, “Hello, my name is Ippon. How can I help you?”

“I’m looking to buy some swords.” Zoro replied.

“Great, we have all manner of swords…” Ippon started rambling as Zoro tuned him out having heard the same type of speech before. “Wait!” he said suddenly shouted making Zoro look at him.

“…Yeah?” Zoro asked, eyebrow raised.

“T-that sword…c-can I s-see it?” Ippon asked stuttering as he pointed to his katana.

“…I guess.” Zoro said, eyeing Ippon for few seconds making him sweat a little, “…here.” He said placing the sword on the counter.

Zoro watched as Ippon gawked as he unsheathed the blade sweat forming on his brow as he looked over the sword with a look of awe, “…It’s a good blade, with matching craftsmanship. I’ll be willing to make you a deal for any sword in this shop.”

“Sorry but it’s not for sale, it was gifted to me by a late friend, along with our dream to become the best.” Zoro said, shaking his head, as he held his hand out.

“O-of course.” Ippon said nodding slowly, as he was about to hand it back before being interrupted by the women who looked like Kunia, who came rushing up to them.

“I knew it! It’s the Wado Ichimonji! ‘The Straight Road of Harmony’” The women said, grabbing the sword from Ippon’s hand to get a closer look at it, “This is one of the 21 Great Grade Swords!” as she placed it back on the counter and pulled out a small book with pictures and descriptions of different swords. “It’s worth a fortune.”

“…I don’t care about the Grade or anything like that.” Zoro stated picking Wado back up, “It’s more important to me than any nonsense like that.” He said sheathing it and hanging it on his hip.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t know.” The women said bowing to him, “Wait, you’re the guy who helped me out earlier. I never thanked you for helping me find my glasses. I’m Tashigi.”

“It’s fine.” Zoro said walking over to some barrels holding several swords.

“…Here’s your Shigure!” Ippon said handing a blade to Tashigi.

“As a paying customer feel free to continue looking around.” Ippon said, to Zoro, “But you if you aren’t going to buy anything than get out!” he added glaring at Tashigi.

“Why are you looking for more swords if you already have a good one?” Tashigi asked, ignoring Ippon.

“I need two more.” Zoro said, placing a blade he took out back.

“Three swords?” Tashigi asked ignoring Ippon, as she watched Zoro browse, “You must really like them. You remind me of a certain bounty hunter I’ve heard about.”

“…I remind you of a Bounty hunter?” Zoro asked.

“Yeah, Roronoa Zoro, do you know him?” Tashigi asked.

“I’ve heard the name in my travels.” Zoro said, placing another sword back

“Yeah, he seems to have quite the reputation here in the East Blue.” Tashigi said shaking her head, “It’s a shame that he uses his swords as a means of making money. The swords must be crying being used for evil.”

“…You can’t just paint everyone as evil just because they do something you don’t agree with, everyone has their own circumstances that lead them to walk the path they’re on. In someone else’s eye you could be the bad guy.” Zoro replied.

“Well, I like bad guys!” Ippon shouted, “I remember when my shop used to be filled with customers. That was before that monster Captain of yours was placed in charge here, now look how empty this place is.”

“Captain Smoker is not a monster!” Tashigi replied quickly.

“He’s a Devil Fruit User! That makes him a monster in my books.” Ippon shouted back.

Zoro glanced up when he heard that, “Crap, she’s a Marine! I need to hurry out of here before she recognizes…huh?” Zoro’s train of thought stopping when he touched a sword that felt…wrong.

Zoro pulled the sword out of the barrel to look at it better, its sheath was deep red with a matching hilt, with two golden clasps around its middle, and matching golden end, he pulled it out of its sheath to look at the blade. The sword was moderately curved with a white edge and with a blue flame-like pattern running down the blade; he couldn’t say how he knew but the sword was different.

“I’ve seen that sword before!” Tashigi said as she started flipping through her book coming to a stop at a certain page where she glanced at it and at the sword a few times before nodding, “Yes, this is Sandai Kitetsu. It’s a Grade sword. Why is it in the 50,000 barrels?”

“Wait! I can’t sell that sword!” Ippon shouted standing up quickly.

“Why not?” Tashigi asked.

“…It’s cursed.” Zoro stated as he held the blade up to look at it.

“You know?” Ippon asked, glancing at the blade nervously.

Zoro shook his head, “I…could feel it.” He replied as he continued staring at the blade almost like he was having a conversation with it.

“Yeah, ever since Shodai Kitetsu, that line of swords have all been of great quality, but they also carry a curse, every person who’s carried one has met a tragic death.” Ippon explained.

“…Hmm, I’ll take it.” Zoro said, grinning.

“What! Weren’t you listing I can’t sell that sword! If you ended up dying because I sold it to you than it’s almost like I killed, you myself.” Ippon shouted.

“Then we’ll just see what’s stronger.” Zoro responded, with a grin, “My luck or the curse…if I lose than that means that I wasn’t meant for anything special.” Zoro said as he tossed the sword into the air and stuck his arm out to his side.

“You fool!” Ippon shouted stunned by Zoro’s action as he watched frozen in place as the sword continued its descent heading towards Zoro’s outstretched arm. Tashigi and the shopkeeper watched in horror as it looked like Zoro would lose his arm only for the sword to turn at the last second missing his arm and embedding itself in the ground.

“I’ll take it.” Zoro said with a grin, “Now I just need to find one more.” He said as he pulled the sword out of the ground.

“Wait!” Ippon shouted managing to stand back up after what he just witnessed, “Wait right there!” he said as he ran into the back.  He eventually came back with a sword resting on a stand, “This is Yubashiri, one of the fifty Skillful Grade swords. This is the best sword I have.”

“…It’s a good sword.” Zoro said, picking it up and inspecting it, “How much?”

“Don’t worry about it.” Ippon said shaking his head, “It’s been years since I’ve seen a swordsman as good as you. I’ll pray for you on your journey.”

“You said this sword was worth at least one million, right?” Zoro asked looking at Tashigi who was still kneeling on the floor.

“Y-yeah.” Tashigi nodded.

“Great.” Zoro said placing the money on the counter, “Thank you.”

“Wait I said you didn’t have to pay.” Ippon said, trying to refuse the money.

“Don’t listen to him!” A slightly plump women said coming from the back, “That’s the biggest sale we’ve made ever since, that woman’s captain was stationed here.”

“B-but honey.” Ippon tried to say.

“Take the money, it’s only right I pay you for your job.” Zoro said bowing his head and quickly leaving, the shop, “I’m lucky that women didn’t recognize me.” He thought as he tried to put as much distance between him and that women.

Nami

Nami was all smiles as she tried on a variety of outfits ranging from a corset, skirt, and a fur coat to an elegant evening dress with a fur scarf, “That outfit looks amazing on you miss.” The shop keeper said smiling at her as he held his hands cupped in front of him, because of all the clothes she was trying out.

She only ended up buying two new outfits much to the disappointment of the shopkeeper, she then ended up going to a few more stores leaving a few displeased shopkeepers when she would try on a large range of outfits only to buy a few. “How can I help you miss?” a lady asked her as she walked into a shop dealing with intimate outfits.

“Oh, I’m looking for something special.” Nami answered looking around the shop.

“For a special man?” the lady asked.

“Y-yes.” Nami said, smiling widely at the thought of Gohan seeing her in some of the outfits that were in the shop.

“Well then follow me and I’m sure we can find something that will leave him all hot and bothered...” The lady said, smiling at her. “Thank you for your patronage.” She said as Nami walked out with her hands full.

Nami ended up spending more than she planned but she knew it would be worth it once Gohan saw her in the outfits she bought, she had even found a few magazines for Gohan. Stepping outside she felt a slight change in the air, “The air pressure is dropping…looks like storm is coming. Man, and I wanted to browse some more.” She thought before heading back into the store to get some plastic for her clothes.

After that she started making her way back to the ship hoping to make it back before the storm arrived, “Hopefully everyone else finished what they needed to do.”

Luffy

“Woah! This is the last thing The Pirate King saw, before he died.” Luffy exclaimed standing on top of the execution stand looking out over the plaza as people went about their business, some of which had noticed him and stopped to point at him.

“Hey! Get down from there right now!” A police officer yelled through a megaphone.

“Why?” Luffy asked tilting his head to the side much to the amusement of a few in the crowd.

“That execution stand is property of the World Government!” The officer replied, “So get o-” he started to say only to get smashed away by a large iron spiked mace.

“Now, now there’s no need to be so uptight officer.” A woman in a cloak covered in hearts, wearing a white cowboy hat. The civilians who saw what had just happened to the officer started panicking a little. “I’ve been looking for you Luffy, for a long time. It’s been a while hasn’t.” the women said smiling at him.

Luffy looked at the women, crossed his arms across his chest, with his head tilted to the side, “Who are you?” he asked.

“Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten my face?” the women asked, looking a little sad, which made a few people in the crowd gasp at her beauty.

“I don’t know any pretty ladies like you.” Luffy said shaking his head.

“Aw, thank you.” The women said, smiling, “But It doesn’t matter if you don’t remember me, since I’ll never forget you. After all you were the first man to hit my beautiful face. The way you beat me…left me breathless.” She said smiling causing the men in the plaza to let out gasp as hearts appeared in their eyes.

“I don’t know who you are!” Luffy said, frowning.

“This is the police, Freeze!” Officers shouted as they came rushing into the plaza. “You are under arrest for harming a police officer! And you on top of the execution stand get down now!”

They were then interrupted by an explosion causing a piece of a broken fountain to head towards the woman but as it got closer it seemed to have slipped right off her, “Oh wow that was quite dangerous.” The women said tossing her hair behind her.

“My apologies but with your smooth skin, nothing can harm you, isn’t that right My Lovely Lady Alvida!” a man covered in a cloak said.

“Alvida! Where is she!?” Luffy asked looking around for the large women.

“I’m Alvida! You idiot!” Alvida yelled.

“What!?” Luffy shouted, “But somethings off…” He said scratching his head.

“Ah, I was wondering when you would notice. I ate the Smooth-Smooth fruit making me a smooth women meaning that no attack can land my beautiful body. Although the only other thing the fruit did was make me lose my freckles.” Alvida said, touching her face.

“No, that’s not the only thing that’s different.” Luffy said, shaking his head.

“I’ve teamed up with this man to test out if you are really fit to be my man.” Alvida said, gesturing towards the group appearing behind her.

“Ever since you sent me flying, I’ve fought tooth and nail to reunite with my crew to get my revenge against you. Today is the day you die by my hands, the Great Captain Buggy!” Buggy shouted as he and his men tossed their cloaks.

“Oh, it’s Buggy.” Luffy monotoned.

“You cheeky brat!” Buggy shouted, as his men drew their weapons and started pointing at the crowd to make his way forward. “None of you go anywhere, I’m going to show you what happens when you cross me.” He shouted as the crowed tried to run.

Luffy was too distracted by what was happening to notice that Cabaji had snuck up on him and placed him in some stocks, “W-what!?”

“It’s been a while. I noticed Roronoa has a bounty now, how’s he doing?” Cabaji asked, sitting on top of the stock preventing Luffy from escaping.

“Great job Cabaji!” Buggy shouted, “Now everyone here will bear witness to your flashy execution.”

--

The Others

“This storm is going to be here soon…I need to hurry and find the others so we can head back to the ship.” Nami muttered as she checked her barometer.

“Nami-San!” Sanji shouted when he saw her.

“Oh, there you guys are.” Nami said seeing that almost everyone was there, “We need to get back to the ship. There’s a storm coming and by the looks of those clouds it’s going to be a big one.”

“Ok, then let’s head back.” Usopp said, getting a little tired from carrying the Elephant Tuna.

“Before that where are Luffy and Gohan?” Zoro asked.

“I ran into Gohan earlier he already knows but he said that he needed to buy something that we absolutely needed for The Grand Line, before heading back to the ship, so we don’t have to worry about him.” Nami answered, “And Luffy should be up ahead, that’s where the execution platform is.”

“Ok, let’s look for…” Usopp started saying only to trail off when they noticed Luffy trapped in stocks.

“What the hell is he doing on the execution stand!?” Everyone shouted

“For the crime of angering me I sentence Monkey D. Luffy to a flashy execution!” Buggy shouted to the crowd.

“Damn it!” Nami said shaking her head, “I’ll leave saving him to you two, we’re going back to the ship.” She said looking at Zoro and Sanji after glancing at the sky.

“…Damn, where’s Gohan when you need him.” Sanji mumbled, “He could just fly up and save us the hassle.” He added, before tossing the Elephant Tuna to Usopp, as he and Zoro started running towards Luffy.

“Oh wow, I’ve never seen an execution.” Luffy said looking at Buggy.

“It’s your execution!” Buggy shouted as his eyes popped out of his eyes.

“What!? Really!?” Luffy shouted. “But I don’t want to die!”

“Stop joking around!” Buggy shouted, drawing a sword.

“No, I’m sorry, please let me live.” Luffy deadpanned.

“As if!” Buggy shouted, “Now do you have any last words?”

Luffy took a deep breath before shouting, “…I’M THE MAN WHO’S GOING TO BECOME KING OF THE PIRATES!”  his response left the crowd silent.

“…famous last words.” Buggy said, raising the sword up.

“WAIT!” Zoro and Sanji shouted as they fought their way through Buggy’s men.

“So, you are here Zoro, but you’re too late!” Buggy said as he raised the sword.

“Zoro! Sanji! Usopp! Nami! Gohan! Sorry but it looks like I’m dead.” Luffy said with a big grin, as Buggy swung his sword down towards Luffy’s neck.

“NO!” Zoro and Sanji shouted, as they tried to break through the crowd, but they were still too far away.

Right before Buggy could deal the finishing blow a large bolt of lighting came crashing down from the darkening skies striking the execution stand engulfing it in flames and bringing it crashing down as the first raindrops started falling. Once the smoke cleared it revealed an unscathed Luffy who stood up and picked up his straw hat placing it back on his head, “Wow, that was very lucky!” he said laughing.

Meanwhile Buggy laid unconscious on the ground burnt with smoke coming off him.

“…we should go now, before more trouble comes our way.” Zoro said shaking his head, at the scene before him.

“…yeah, let’s go the others are waiting.” Sanji agreed, before they started running.

While running towards the ship they temporarily spit up from Zoro who fought with Tashigi who appeared in front of them, then they came face to face with Captain Smoker who was blocking their path, “This is as far as you go!” he said raising both arms, “White Blow!” he shouted as his arms turned into white smoke and flew towards Luffy and Sanji but his attacked was stopped by a small explosion in front of them.

“W-what!?” The three exclaimed.

“Gohan!” Luffy and Sanji exclaimed when he landed in front of them.

“It-it’s you!” Smoker exclaimed.

--

Earlier with Smoker

“Captain Smoker Sir!” A Marine shouted rushing into the room, before coughing from all the smoke in the room. Inside the room was a white-haired man sitting on a couch, he had two cigars in his mouth concentrating on the pile of rocks in front of him.

“…damn.” Smoker as the rock pile came crashing down on the coffee table. “…What is it?”

“…we’ve received a report of pirates causing chaos in the plaza and this came in for you.” The Marine said holding out a letter bearing Marine HQ logo.

“Hmm…give it here.” Smoker said, standing up and putting on a white coat that had several cigars strapped to it, “Let’s go deal with those pirates…where’s Tashigi?” he asked putting the letter in his coat.

“Sergeant Major Tashigi went out to pick up her sword.” The Marine answered.

“How long does it take to pick up a sword?” Smoker muttered as he as he walked outside followed by his Marines.

As he stepped outside a little girl accidently ran into him causing her to spill her ice cream, on his pants making her cry a little, “C-Captain Smoker…please forgive my daughter!” the father said rushing to her side.

“Aw, looks like my pants ate your ice cream. Sorry about that, here go buy yourself five scoops.” Smoker said, crouching down as he put some money in her hand as he patted her head.

“T-thank you.” The little girl said, smiling at him.

“It’s no problem, no go on with your dad.” Smoker said, as he stood back up.

“T-thank you Captain Smoker.” Her father said as he hugged his daughter and bowed his head at Smoker.

Smoker just nodded his head at the pair as they walked away, “Excuse me sir.” Someone said causing him to turn around.

Smoker was surprised by what he saw, it was a man with short black spiky hair, black eyes, and a scar across his left eye. The man was wearing an orange outfit that reminded Smoker of what Martial Artist would wear, “Yes?” Smoker asked, eyeing the man.

“Sorry to bother you but can you tell me where I can buy a log pose?” the man asked, politely.

“…yeah, you can go that way.” Smoker said, creating a finger with his smoke to point the man in the right direction.

“Hmm that’s pretty cool….” The man said, eyeing the smoky finger before giving him a bow of his head, “…thank you very much, have a good day.” He added before leaving in the direction Smoker pointed

“…Yeah.” Smoker muttered as the man walked away. Smoker noticed he had a red pole tied to his back, and a brown fur like belt, there was something about the way the man walked that let Smoker know that he was dangerous but before he could think too much about it, he heard someone shout for him.

“Sorry I’m late, Captain Smoker!” Tashigi shouted as he came running towards him.

“…Hurry up Tashigi we’ve got an emergency to deal with.” Smoker said, putting the man out of his mind as they headed towards the Plaza. “Status Report!” Smoker said as they entered a building overlooking the entire plaza.

“There are currently three people with bounties in the town square.” A Marine started reporting, “Iron Mace Alvida, Buggy The Clown, and Straw-Hat Luffy.”

“Luffy… I’ve never heard of that name before.” Smoker said, walking forward.

“He is a relatively new pirate his bounty came out the other day it’s 35 million…here you go.” The Marine said, handing him a stack of wanted posters.

“Hmm, 35 million he should be pretty strong then.” Smoker muttered eyeing the poster.

“…actually, he’s the one who’s about to be executed.” The Marine said handing Smoker the binoculars.

“Hmm…that’s a shame.” Smoker said, handing the binoculars back.

“Sir what do we do?” Another Marine asked.

“We wait, let the pirates kill each other first then we round the survivors up.” Smoker said, reaching into his coat for his lighter only to feel a paper, “Hmm…I forgot about this.” He muttered taking the letter out.

“Captain Smoker what is it?” Tashigi asked.

“A letter from HQ.” Smoker said, getting ready to open it when one of his men shouted.

“Roronoa Zoro, is in the plaza!” A Marine exclaimed.

“What!? What is he doing here?” Smoker asked, putting the letter away.

“Recent reports state that he’s a member of Straw Hat’s crew, he even has a 25 million bounty on his head now.” The Marine said, pulling out the wanted poster.

“I-it’s him!” Tashigi exclaimed looking at the poster with wide eyes.

“You know him?” Smoker asked.

“He’s the man I told you about, the one from the weapons shop.” Tashigi said, crushing the poster, “He was right in front of me, and I let him get away!”

“He hasn’t gotten away yet.” Smoker said, “We’ll catch all of them soon.” He said raising his hand to signal the assault.

That’s when everything went to shit, Straw-Hat smiled just as he was about to get executed but he was saved at the last second, the way he smiled reminded Smoker of Roger’s execution, “Sir they’re heading towards the harbor, but because of the sudden rain it’s undefended since we’ve had to head back to restock.”

“Damn!” Smoker cursed as he noticed that the way the wind was blowing would give them the perfect chance to escape, “…go get my Billower Bike while I round up the pirates in the plaza!”

Smoker quickly dealt with Buggy and Alvida remembering to use a Seastone net before heading to cut off Straw-Hat and his crew escape, after catching up to them he got ready to attack them, but his attack was stopped by an explosion, “W-what the?” Smoker uttered.

“Gohan!” he heard Straw-Hat and the blonde guy shout as the man from before appeared in front of him.

“It-it’s you!” Smoker exclaimed.

Gohan

Gohan had spent most of his time going from bookstore to bookstore finding a few books on different subjects that interest him and finding a few magazines that he thought would be useful. While browsing he would also talk with people asking them about any useful information or stories they had about the Grand Line.

Which is why he was looking for a place to buy a Log Pose something he was told that was necessary for the Grand Line, while looking for them he ran into Nami who had her hands filled with bags of clothes. She told him that there was a storm coming and that they needed to head back to the ship, he promised her that he would head back once he bought something that they needed for the trip.

While walking he came upon a tall white-haired smoking Marine giving money to a little girl who had accidently spilled her ice cream on his leg, he didn’t want to risk getting involved with the Marines but no one else could tell him where to get a Log Pose so he had to risk it. Especially if he wanted to find the store before the storm came end, after he received directions from the Marine he left after thanking him but not before getting a good look at him with his status viewer.

[Name: Smoker

Race: Human (Smoke-Human)

Gender: Male

Age: 34

Title: Captain Smoker, Smoker the White Hunter

Abilities/Skills: Devil Fruit: Logia: Smoke-Smoke Fruit (Allows user to create, control, and transform into smoke at will)

Items: Seastone Tipped Jitte (Seastone can negate Devil Fruit Abilities)]

“Damn, that’s not good, we should avoid him.” Gohan muttered closing the window quickly leaving as a women came running towards Smoker.

Gohan eventually found the store and bought a Log Pose and was heading back to the ship when he received a new quest.

[New Quest: Help Luffy & Sanji Escape From Smoker. Reward: Power Pole Upgrade: Seastone (Power Pole will be upgraded to have Seastone properties.)]

“Well, shit.” Gohan muttered as he closed his eyes and focused on finding Luffy’s Ki, “Nami, and Usopp seem to be back at the ship…Zoro is… heading towards…there he is!” he said, taking off into the air and flying towards where he sensed them.

Gohan arrived to see Smoker attacking Luffy and Sanji with his devil fruit, but Gohan fired a small Ki blast creating his own cloud of smoke countering Smoker’s, “Gohan!” Luffy and Sanji exclaimed when he landed in front of them.

“It-it’s you!” Smoker exclaimed when he saw him.

Gohan didn’t say anything as he waited for Zoro to appear and to see if the person watching them would do anything, “G-Gohan what are you doing we need to go!” Zoro exclaimed running towards them.

“…waiting for you.” Gohan answered, after seeing the person watching them didn’t mean them any harm.

“You four aren’t going anywhere!” Smoker exclaimed.

“You’re not stopping us!” Luffy said, grabbing his arm getting ready to fight him.

“No!” Gohan said stopping Luffy, “He’s a Logia user, we can’t hit him with normal attacks, we’re leaving now, hold on tight!” Gohan said creating two Ki blasts, firing one at the ground in front of Smoker and the other at the ground in front of them as he quickly grabbed Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji from the back of their necks taking off flying towards the ship.

Gohan saw a man standing in the rain on a rooftop he was wearing a cloak, and he wasn’t sure but he thought he saw the man give him a slight nod but he chalked it up to a trick of the flash of lighting. “Gohan!” Usopp exclaimed as they landed on board.

“Thank goodness you’re here we need to go now!” Nami said, as Usopp pulled the anchor up so they could set sail.

Which they did and with the help of the sudden gust of wind appearing behind them they quickly left Loguetown behind them, until a light could be seen in the middle of the storm, “What’s that?” Luffy asked.

“It’s known as the Light of Guidance.” Nami explained.

“Really?” Usopp asked.

“Yeah, it’s a lighthouse, that points to the entrance to The Grand Line.” Nami explained.

“Really? Then that calls for a celebration.” Sanji said, heading inside to bring out a barrel, he placed a foot on top of it, “To Find The All Blue.”

“To Become The King of The Pirates.” Luffy said placing his foot on top.

“To Be The World’s Greatest Swordsmen.” Zoro said, placing his foot on top.

“To Draw A Map Of The World.” Nami said, placing her foot on top.

“T…To Become A Brave Warrior Of The Seas!” Usopp said, placing his foot on top.

“To…” Gohan said but the rest was cut off by a large boom of thunder, the group then rose their feet’s and brought it crashing down onto the barrel and breaking it.

(AN: Grand Line here we come as I said earlier this will be the last chapter for this fic. The reason I cut off Gohan’s dream is because I don’t really have a final idea for what his dream is, I mean yeah, he wants to go back to his world but that won’t happen for a while, so what is his end goal. One idea I’m currently leaning towards is for him to just enjoy his new life while learning new fighting styles, fighting strong people, and whatever else he wants to do. (Like maybe he can finally become a scholar like his mother wanted.)

The reason why I’m leaning this way is because after all the fighting Gohan has done, I think he should get a chance to enjoy life a bit and he can do that by sailing with Luffy and the crew. Especially since Polycosmos has shown him that Trunks does end up killing the Cyborgs so now Gohan thinks that he doesn’t really need to rush back.

But I’ll leave what his dream is for later when I’ve had some time to think about it some more. So, until then thanks for reading and until next time, and if you find any errors please let me know.)
