During the Journey
Lucy: How come your body is made of Rubber?
Luffy: I am a devil fruit eater. I ate Gomu Gomu Fruit.
Shikamaru: What is a devil fruit? If it is a devil fruit, should it not be eaten by a devil. Are you a devil then?
Luffy: Scorching his head in confusion. I suppose you are right but I am not a devil but this is a devil fruit…ummm… umm….. I do not know…
They start laughing. Luffy talks about his crew, Shikamaru talks about his Hidden in the leaf and Lucy tells about her guild. All three of them get to know about each other’s different world and the question “What is this place and what are we doing here?” continues to ring in their head.
After many days of journey they spot a village.
Shikamaru transforms himself into a local person to not get identified as foreigner and heads to village to gather information…
Luffy: SOO COOOOOLLLLLLLLLLL……….. How did you do that?
Shikamaru: It is called transformation Jutsu…
Shikamaru enters the village and heads to the unexplored market. People are dressed in shirts and pants. He goes to a shop, starts a general talk and naturally questions about the earthquake which he felt when he was in his village.
Shikamaru: Is there any casualty reported from the last week Earthquake.
But the shopkeepers glares at him puzzled and in doubt. He realizes it as a dumb question because it never happened here. He interacts with other people of the village for information of the place and at evening he heads back to the outskirts of the village.
Outskirts of village
Shikamaru: Luffyyyyy, lucyyy (shouts), where are you?
From the bushes two people appears. It seems they were waiting for an ambush. Shikarmaru is caught off guard. One of the assailant launches himself into the air, bouncing off various surfaces with tremendous speed and force aims for Shikamaru’s face. But in an instant the assailant gets knocked out.
Luffy: Gear second… Gomu Gomu no jet pistol.
Luffy jumps and hits the assailant.
Meanwhile lucy
Lucy summons taurus, using Celestial Spirit Gate Keys. Taurus charges towards the other assailant and catches him by surprise and boom. His axes comes in direct contact and the other assailant and he is sent sprawling in the air.
Immediately both the assailant get defeated.
Shikamaru uses shadow possession jutsu and seals their movements.
Seeing Luffy one of the assailant identifies Luffy and screams in shock. His mouth half open in surprise and shock. With anger in his voice he points out to luffy: youuuuuuu!!! What are you doing here?
Luffy: ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm… Who are you? And why did you attack us?
First assailant: You don’t remember me…. I am Bellamy…. Bellamy Hyena…
Luffy: Ohhhhhhh..
Assailant smiles and says so you have recognized me finally…
Luffy: No.. I still can not remember you…
Bellamy: I am Bellamy Hyena one of the man of Doflamingo….
Hearing the name of Doflamingo, Luffy becomes serious….
Shikamaru enquires about their motive behind the attack. In exchange of their lives they are given choice to tell whatever they know… They began spitting every information they know.
They work for Captain Gin Ichimaru, Captain of the king Martin Luther but the king is just one of the puppet of Captain Gin… Even the king fears him. King represents only the town but the real power and decision lies in the whims of Captain Gin.
One of the assailant get immensenly terrified and his whole body started shivering by just a mere thought of Captain Gin. He felt powerless and failed to even manage his weight and falls down but continues with his story, ” His calm and collected exterior make it difficult to discern his true intentions, leaving individuals to question his motives. Presence of Captain Gin is a constant unease, haunted by the possibility of becoming entangled in his manipulation. The very thought of facing Captain Gin evokes a sense of powerlessness”.
Shikamaru (In shock): Does he belong to this town? And from where you both came?
Bellamy: Few months back I was thrown at this place and there I happened to meet Captain Gin. Just looking him reminded me of Doflamingo and I followed him. Later, I realised I have made a blunder and wanted to escape but it felt like even a thought of escaping could cost me my life. So here I am just following his orders.
This morning a team of scout spotted you three but as soon as we arrived here, you were already gone so we waited to ambush you guys. That’ s all we know about this place.
Bellamy: This place is not our world. I have never met such people before. They do not know what a Devil Fruit is, they even do not know about Pirate King or One Piece. It feels like I have come in another dimension.
Shikarmaru: I also feel like the same. This world is not mine either but it is too early to be sure… there is only one person who can confirm this hypothesis.
Bellamy and the other assailant looked at Shikamaru in shock and questioned, are you talking about Captain Gin?
All three of them shouts in unison, YESSSS.
Luffy: I will kick his ass…
Lucy: I will find my friends no matter the cost…
Shikamaru: It is such a Drag.. All three of them crack their knuckles and enters the Itomori village.
