One Piece: And The Original - Chapter 17

I slowly make my way back while hiding from soldiers and hunting some dinner. Even though we’re hiding, dinner must still be prepared.

I walk into the cabin and see Ace yelling at Dadan, while Luffy I being bandaged around his face and arms. Dadan seems injured more badly than the rest of the bandits, as they only have some scratches while she is bandaged up around her head and legs. “Jess hasn’t come back yet, and I haven’t seen Sabo either! We should look for them, I should look for them!”

“No! can’t you see you’re injured, you first need to heal!” Dadan yells as she grabs Ace by the arm, trying to stop him from moving. But she didn’t hold on long, as Ace is far stronger.

“Let go!” Ace yells as he jerks his arm free and tries to storm out of the cabin, only to crash into me.

“Watch it!” I say as I give him a fist to his head. “Calm down and let them bandage you. I already got Sabo out. If he isn’t here, he should be at the tree house. We’ll look when you get pathed up.” I sit down at the door opening, not letting Ace pass until he got his wounds looked after.

“What happened to Bluejam?” Ace says as he waits for Dadan to finish wrapping.

“Hmmm… let’s say he is off of the island and won’t be coming back” I say as I slowly tilt my head as my thumb and index finger support my chin.

“Now let’s go get Sabo, he must be waiting” Ace stands up the moment Dadan ties the last knot.

I sigh but nod. We both walk out of the door, leaving Luffy in Dadan’s care.

Ace is going to the tree house and into the forest to look for Sabo, while I look for him in the city. Those soldiers weren’t only patrolling the grey terminal after all. On my way down I can still see the soldier patrolling the forest and apprehending people who have escaped the fire. “Not a lot a scum have escaped, only a few. Most of them where beggars, but have you heard about the boy they found last night?” A guard says while the duo drag a man with them. “What is so special about a boy, there where a lot of them, how was this one different?” The guard replies with al little laugh. “Well, this boy is different, the boy they found was a noble”

“What! you must be kidding, what would they have to do in the terminal! It must be just a tall tale, don’t believe everything you hear!” The guard replies as he waves his hand in disbelief.

What an idiot, I broke him out but he still got caught. Sigh. Well I did it once, twice wouldn’t be that hard. As I think that I walk down toward the city. I ‘borrowed’ another set of clothes and made my way down to the noble district. Only to find an empty room at my arrival. Seems like he’s learning while making me work harder.

I stroll down town as Sabo must be making his way toward the forest by now. The streets are packed with people as they make it hard to pass the crowd.

“What is happening?” I say as I tilt my head at the confusion of the situation. Sabo knew I would get them right. He wouldn’t be that stupid right? Feeling that Sabo might be stupid, I try to make my way through the crowd.

” A celestial dragon is coming to our city. The people are welcoming him as we speak. wait..” The man picks me up before I could get further and lifts me above the crowd. “See that ship, that is a celestial dragons ship” The man laughs as he puts me down again. But that little view made something clear. A flag with Sabo’s initials on it. “That damn fool” I make my way through the crowd toward the sea, only to see the ship getting shot down. The moment the blast hits my heart aches. Tears begin to well as my eyes slowly turn black. My blood is rushing to my head as I can feel heat rise. My head starts to hurt as I grab my head. It feels like my head is splitting in half over and over again. My vision blurres as I can feel consciousness slowly fade away. I knew this happened in the anime, nothing changed at all. The tiles of the street are closing in as I can feel my body tilting forward. “F*ck…”

“Girl are you okay?… little girl?….” A man nearby tries to reach out toward a girl that seems to have passes out. The moment his hand reaches for her shoulder something blood red appears on her back. As crystals appear on her back, big wings start to form. What once was human is swallowed by a bloody red/black mass. Eight arms or legs form on the side of the wings as pinches form at the front. The mass keeps increasing in size. One it reaches 15 feet in hight it stops growing. What remains now is a being that looks like a terrifying spider with razor sharp spikes and wings.

The being starts to move as the wings open up. One moment it stood on the shore, the next moment it is flying in the sky toward a huge ship in the harbor. As it lands people begin to scream and blood begins to flow. In the first moments you could see the limbs and blood fly into the sky as the screams increased, but not long after the ship starts to collapse and the sea is dyed red. A sea serpent appears at the place where once was a ship with a dragon on it. Now it is just feasting on what remains.

Screams fill the shore as people are terrified at the tough that a dragon died in their kingdom. While they look at the scene that has unfolded a huge spider dyed in blood appears in the noble district. While the people are watching the ‘show’ at the harbor, the nobles and the royals of Goa kingdom are losing their home.

When night falls a man dressed in white finds a girl passed out in a destroyed part of the forest.. “Well, what fine specimen have we found here” The man whispers as a smile forms at his face.
