"It happened one day when Zoro was in this restaurant, having a meal as a man walked into the room. It was Helmeppo, the captain's son and the same man who teased Zoro with my rice ball. This time he had brought in something dangerous to everyone, his dog... or should I say wolf since it was wilder animal then anything else. It was growling and howling while snapping at people as if it was trying to take a bit out of anyone it could reach.
It was then the leash broke with the wolf getting loose and ready to attack. Zoro took a moment to knock out the wolf with one of his swords before turning it on to Helmeppo, saving everyone in the place from an animal attack. He then told off the captain's son and knocked him down, telling Helmeppo he was an idiot and would pay if he tried it again.
Helmeppo did nothing then other then running home to daddy. Once home, he got all the Marines he could so he could arrest Zoro as well as everyone in the restaurant. Likely so they could not tell the story of him getting beaten up by a bounty hunter. He said they had committed treason and were to be executed for threatening a superior, but I think this was just to get Zoro to do what the meanies wanted. Cause the swordsman made a deal with the slimeball that he could be arrested instead.
Then came the deal that if Zoro could go without food and water for a month, while on the cross rig, he would go free." commented Rika as she finished the story for all of them to hear. They had walked with her as she headed back to the restaurant where it all started from what she told them.
In the eating establishment was the man in the purple suit who was the captain's son. He was talking to several the people inside, "I can wait for tomorrow so I can kill... execute that treasonous pirate hunter for insult... for committing crimes against the world government. Bet he is really a pirate pretending to be a bounty hunter, I could get a reward when he gets the noose. Do not want to waste the bullets on that piece of crap."
Koby was watching Luffy who had been emotionally involved with the story, his head strangely shaded by the straw hat he wore. He kept on walking, changing direction so he was heading to the location of the Marine's child. Without warning a fist smashed into the face of the rude blond man, one connected to a body and a head wearing a straw hat. All noise stopped. A hand grabbed the shirt of the man and dragged him from the table to the street outside. Helmeppo landed hard, taking moments until he got to his feet.
"You're dead meat. My father is going to send you to the gallows, then I will feed what is left to my dogs. Hear that dog meat? " said the man in purple as he began to run off to the base.
"Luffy, what are you doing? What have you done? Are you out of your mind? " asked Koby as he started to freak out with anger.
At the base...
A stone statue of a muscular man with an axe for a right hand and a jaw made of metal was being raised on the top of the Marine base. Looking on was the identical man, dressed in a sleeveless dark blue shirt and pants of a light blue with stripes the same color as the shirt. He was blond with a sleeveless coat of a pale blue with red inner trim and lapels, with blue and gold tasseled shoulder pads. He also was wearing combat boots.
The man in the violet suit, who could have passed as a younger twin, ran up to him. Panting for a moment, the man spoke, "Daddy, some criminal attacked me at the restaurant again. You have to arrest him and have him executed like Zoro."
A mean left hook slammed into the face of the younger man, as the older man spoke, "You're worthless, you know that? Getting beaten twice within a two month span. I should just let you get your licks until you can man up and fight back. But this is going to reflect badly on me with the rest of the villagers and I can have that, can I? So can you tell me who this idiot who dare strike at a Captain's son is?"
"It was a guy on a straw hat with shorts and a sleeveless shirt, he was also wearing sandals and had some kind of weird thing on his wrist. I did not get the greatest look at him, since he just snuck up behind me and pop me one by surprise. I think his hair was black or brown. He must be out of his mind, maybe he is criminally insane psychopath who attacks people for no reason. Who knows how many people he has killed... or eaten? He is mad blood-drinking, brain-eating mass murder who wants to kill everyone here at the Marine base. Cause it's the only source of law and justice in the area so if he can bring it down he can build a fortress of crime and evil. He is a pirate, daddy, I bet you he is a pirate! " explained the man-child as he expanded on what he had been saying, letting his mouth run away as he could persuade his father of the worse of a man who had the most limited encounter with Helmeppo.
Meanwhile...
Luffy was once again on the wall of the Marine base as he hopped over the bricks and mortar so he could get next to Zoro on the wooden structure. He steps behind the pirate hunter and started to untie him which provoked a response from the green haired man. He spoke weakly, "What do you think you are doing? Leave me alone. I have to stay here and..."
"Helmeppo is going to execute you tomorrow. You have to leave now." Luffy said as he tried to untangle the knots as he hoped he would not get his rope mixed up.
"I can leave without fighting then and I can fight without my swords. You have to get my swords back and I can help you. Help these people. They are in Helmeppo's room as trophies, or that is what he told me." said the man tied up as he moved a little with his loosened ropes.
"Okay, be back in a second." replied Luffy as he turned to his wrist and started the Omnitrix. He cycled through the number of creatures within the device before setting on the one he wanted.
"Omni Omni Mr. Ray! " cried out Luffy as he triggered the transformation, changing his human body for one more alien. His arms gained a flap of skin like a bat but while keeping his arms and hands. He gained a tail as his hands and feet took on claw-like nature, green eyes and red skin with black stripes as the face remained on his chest. He also had yellow horn-like structures and a mouth of white teeth in a shape similar to a shark, an upside grin like form. On his head with the horn-like things sticking out was a yellow straw hat with a red band.
"Time for some Omni Omni Super Flying." said Luffy as he took to the sky and flew to the roof of the Marine base. The straw hat made a mistake with his flying, as he forgot to slow down and was going to crash into the statue which had just been put up. With a last second move, he shot twin light beams from his eyes and blew up the statue into rocky shrapnel.
"What the hells are you and what have you done to my statue? You will pay for that with your life, Freak! Get him! " said the man with the iron jaw as he pointed with the axe-hand.
"Okay, tell me where your room is and where Zoro's swords are. " asked the alien boy as he drag the captain's son after him.
The marines around him echo with, "Yes, Captain Morgan! "
A burst of speed was the answer from straw hat, as he flew and picked up Helmeppo before moving into the base.
Elsewhere
"So that is the whole story, Helmeppo is going to kill you, Luffy and I are trying to free you. Luffy wants to make you his first mate for his pirate crew and I wanted to be a Marine, so that is why were's here." answered Koby as he untied Zoro as well as displaying the expertise with knots of a sailor, pirate or Marine.
While this was happening, Koby could have sworn he saw a redheaded woman running around the Marine base with a huge bag of something.
Back with Luffy...
Luffy finally got to the room of the captain's son and dropped the idiot he had been carrying, taking in the sight of the expensive room filled with wealthy touches like a four posted bed. He then noticed the trio of swords and figured that one of them had to be the sword of Zoro, the question crossed his mind, 'Which one is his and which ones are not? Better take them all so Zoro can choose the one he wants.'
The manta ray-like creature lifted all three swords in his hands, and flew out of the window so he could land in the courtyard with Zoro and Koby. He noticed the Captain there with a group of marines with guns all pointed at the pink and green haired males. The order was given, "Soldiers, when I are ready, fire and send the two of them to hell. Fire! "
Luffy was already above them when he used the secrets he had gained to shift from Mr. Ray to Mr. Diamond. His body transformed into a being of greenish crystal of huge size and a sense of strength. Bullets hit the crystal and caused them to chip off the body, yet every piece was soon repaired with more of the greenish crystal as the metal slugs were deflected.
Zoro turned to the creature and looked at him before asking in shock, "What are you? "
"I'm Monkey D. Luffy, and I am going to be King of the Pirates! " was the answer the bounty hunter got.
The marines were shocked at the ability of this man of crystal to take their bullets at the close ranger they were at and continue to exist, if not remain at his peak form. In reaction they kept on shooting their guns at the figure hoping for one bullet to harm or kill the being. They kept on firing until their guns ran out of their metal slugs which left their guns useless for more then clubs.
"He must be some kind of devil fruit user, so we just have to find a way around the power of the fruit's demonic power." shouted the Marine Captain as he looked the crystal humanoid for a weak spot.
"What kind of fruit turns you from a human to a flying manta ray to a crystal man, Luffy? " asked Zoro as he tried to understand the strange man before him.
"I did not eat a devil fruit, this is something better and different then that. It's the power of the Omnitrix, the coolest thing in the world and it takes on great adventures. Even if I fail at becoming Pirate King, which I will not, it still gives me options for fun adventures and new dreams. Oh yeah, I forgot. Which one of these are yours? I could tell which one of them was taken from you." said the diamond man as he turned his back and took the swords he had been carrying.
"All three of them are mine, my style is that of the three blades. I need them to fulfill my vow, my ambition, my dream." said the bounty hunter as he reach for the trio of sharp objects.
"I'll give them to you, you can become my first mate, and I will do my best to make your dreams come true. That is a promise you can count on! " said the would be king as he passed the blades to his new first mate.
"You better, because if you come between me and my vow, I will kill you. I will not die until my promise has been finished. " Zoro took the trio which took their places in both ands and his mouth. With quick motion of his twin hand blades, the old wooden cross was sliced into pieces.
"Don't just stand there and act like the idiots you are, attack them now! " cried the Marine Captain as his axe hand chopped the air in a motion to mimic the lethal blow he wanted.
"Omni Omni Diamond Lift! " cried out Luffy as the marines were lifted by sudden pillar of the same crystal which comprised Mr. Diamond. This left most of the Marines several feet in the air as well as removed from the battlefield.
This caused the captain to rage at the turning of table, and reacted by taking off his blue coat. He told everyone who was in the yard with him, "I'm Captain Axe Hand Morgan, a man who has taken down the most dangerous pirates. I am going to take you down demon user, unless your a weak coward."
"I keep telling everyone one, I am not a devil fruit user. I am going to fight you and kick your butt. " said Luffy as his stone body began a charge at the other captain. The alien boy begins to shoot out crystal darts from his fingers or it should be said from what had been his fingers. Those fingers becoming sharpened and launched from the hand, even as the fingers grew back from where they broke off. The marine leader responded by using his axe hand to bat away the darts. By then the Diamond-Luffy was on him, an arm turning into a bladed sword like structure which ran the length of his arm.
Steel axe and crystal sword began to dance as the two captains did their best to take the other down with their own weapons. They continued to faint and slash to gain the upper hand with the other, which seemed to have been gained by Morgan as he slam down hard on his axe hand so Luffy's sword arm was sliced off. The omnitrix wielder just smiled as he grew back the arm into the same shape it had been by addition of more of his stoney mass. Luffy countered this, turning his sword into a giant mace hand which was swung against the one handed Morgan, knocking him to the ground and into a weak position before Luffy.
"So do you give up yet or do I have to stop holding back? " asked the crystal man as he looked down at Morgan.
"Stop right there, whatever you are. I do not think you want to do it with what I got." said the familiar voice of Helmeppo, the captain's son. They all turned to see the coward holding a gun to the pink haired Koby's head, which was obviously a threat to stop what he had been doing or have Koby killed or harmed.
"I do not care if you kill me, if it means I will not stand in the way of Luffy's dream. So go ahead and shoot." cried the marine wannabe, as he looked to the friend who rescued him from slavery. Luffy turned his back and got ready to take down the man in violet, he sense something behind him. Still Koby was more important as Luffy formed crystals in the barrel of the gun as he also formed a rock out of his hand and shot this out as well. Behind Luffy, the now standing Morgan swung his axe.
