20.03% One Piece: Dream of Immortality / Chapter 102: Chaos on Sabaody Archipelago

章 102: Chaos on Sabaody Archipelago

Cherry gazed at the buffoon, completely flabbergasted at the words that came out of his nasty mouth. She glanced at the men who looked like knights in armor and government agents in black suits and sunglasses. None of them were notable enough for her to have paid any attention to, which was why Cherry didn't bother to avoid them.

"Go get the mermaid for me." The buffoon spat, both figuratively and literally.

"Yes, Saint Charlos!" They replied with way too much enthusiasm.

"Wait wait wait!" Cherry said, realizing what the title 'Saint' meant in this world. "THAT thing is a Celestial Dragon?! PFFT, BAHAHAHAHA!"

She couldn't help but laugh. The wretched creature before her barely passed as human at all, let alone a supposed superior specimen of humanity.

"Who are you laughing at?!" Saint Charlos shouted in rage. He fired his gaudy golden pistol at her until it ran out of ammunition.

"Why aren't you dead?! I shot you!" Saint Charlos' disbelief held no fear, only frustration.

"Shoot me with what? These?" Cherry opened her hands revealing all the bullets that had been fired at her. Saint Charlos was much weaker than the average person, so he naturally did not see her hands catching them out of the air.

The same was not true of his guards, however. They were still weak by Cherry's standards, but they at least managed to catch sight of the after images of her arms. Nervous sweat beaded all over their bodies, but they held firm with the faith that the woman in front of them would not recklessly attack Saint Charlos or his entourage.

Cherry flicked the bullets away to somewhere behind Saint Charlos causing him to flinch.

"Don't you know what will happen to you if you touch me?!" He shouted incredulously. His men started to move towards Cherry. Outmatched they may be, but they would not have been chosen for these positions if they would abandon their duty because of fear.

"Why would I touch filth like you? Besides, I don't need to, isn't that right boys?" Cherry's face split into the visage of a smiling demon.

"U-unhand me, slave!" Saint Charlos squealed. His men turned around to see the slaves no longer had their collars and had taken Saint Charlos hostage with his own sword.

"I won't live as a slave any longer! Bring me a ship or I'll cut his ugly head off his fat neck!" The formerly enslaved pirate shouted with crazed eyes. No one doubted he would hesitate to do it either, not even for a second. In fact, they were only afraid he might realize there was no chance for him to escape and kill Saint Charlos right then and there.

Whilst they were busy with their hostage situation, Cherry dashed away with Camie who was trembling in fear.

"Y-you shouldn't have done that Cherry. Now their going to send an admiral!" Camie said, feeling like it was her fault this happened.

"I don't know about that. Slave revolts probably happen from time to time and I didn't lay a finger on the pig or his men. There's a chance they'll resolve it without involving an admiral. That pig seemed as stupid as he is ugly, too. He might forget all about me by the time they rescue him." Cherry said.

This helped Camie to calm down, but she still felt bad about it. She cheered up quickly, being the optimist that she was, though.

Cherry brought Camie back to the Thousand Sunny at an easy pace that Camie could handle. Although, the others were still frantically looking for her, Cherry felt that Camie should be somewhere that felt safe. Serene and Merry were there guarding the ship. Serene could handle anyone without Observation Haki pretty easily, so the safety wasn't just an illusion.

Cherry went back towards the auction house where the others had converged a while ago. She wasn't sure what they were waiting for exactly, they should have just confirmed that Camie wasn't there and left right?

Cherry walked up to the front door of the auction house. The guards tried to stop her from going in, but she simply brought them down with a few well placed kicks to the family jewels. She added a little Hasshoken in there so that they'd hurt until a doctor decided it was better to amputate, too. She really didn't like slavers.

She opened the door and was greeted by the sound of a gunshot. The celestial pig from earlier had shot Hachi who was trying to stop Luffy from barging in backstage and accidentally revealed his other four arms, revealing his identity as a fishman.

Saint Charlos was doing the same stupid dance and cheering that he'd caught his very own fishman.

When Luffy started walking towards Saint Charlos, Cherry knew what was about to happen. She didn't have the heart to stop him though.

A well placed punch sent Saint Charlos flying through several set of chairs with a satisfying crunch as the majority of the bones in his body shattered. Cherry could only admire Luffy's restraint with how Saint Charlos was still alive.

A fight broke out amongst World Nobles' guards and the Straw Hats as the other auction goers fled for their lives.

Rayleigh came out from backstage and used his haki to knock out the other guests and guards, leaving only the pirates conscious.

Cherry and Rayleigh made eye contact across the auction hall and shared a look of exasperation.

"Oh, Hachi! How are you doing?!" Rayleigh shouted with a big smile when he saw the octopus fishman. "Seems you've gotten into some trouble. Thank you guys for helping him."

"Old man, did you see a mermaid back there?! We came to save her!" Luffy shouted.

"Hm? That little lady by the entrance already saved her though?" Rayleigh pointed at Cherry.

They all turned to see Cherry standing there rubbing her temples.

"Idiot! I told you that you should just be patient!" Nami wacked Luffy on the head.

After setting the other slaves free, Rayleigh said they should talk more later. The building had already been surrounded by the marines and it wouldn't be long until an admiral came to the archipelago.

"Never thought I'd get to see 'Dark King' Rayleigh in this place." A pirate with spiky red hair said with a cruel smile. He was Eustass 'Captain' Kid.

"That was quite the power he used on us, he even made it look casual." A pirate with tattoos on his arms and a spotted fur cap said. He was 'The Surgeon of Death' Trafalgar Law.

"I'm not going to use that power again here. I don't want to have the government on my tail again. You'll have to deal with the marines yourselves." Rayleigh said.

Eustass Kid went towards the door first, saying he'll deal with the marines himself so they can just sit back and relax. A provocation of course, but it was effective against Trafalgar Law and Luffy.

He glanced at Cherry as he passed her and he felt a chill go up his spine when he met her eyes that seemed to pierce directly into his soul.

Fighting through the marines was like cutting through melted butter with a hot knife with this group of super rookies.

A beam of light pierced down grazing the leg of Eustass Kid. Cherry looked up and saw what appeared to be Bartholomew Kuma, only it didn't seem to possess either his devil fruit and very little vital energy.

The Straw Hat group got away from the fight safely and without pursuit along with Rayleigh. they went back to the bar he usually lived at when he wasn't getting himself into trouble.


章 103: Pacifista

Cabernet went to the ship to pick up Camie, as it would be safer to leave her in someone else's care. Serene and Merry stayed on the Thousand Sunny.

"'Shakky's Rip-off Bar', how delightful." Cherry liked the blunt honesty of it.

They went inside and got settled down from all the excitement. An Admiral would be arriving on the archipelago soon given the distance between this place and Marine Headquarters, so they wouldn't be sticking around for too long.

"I'm back Shakky!" Rayleigh called out.

"Oh my, what happened to Hacchan?!" A thin woman with a black bob haircut, presumably 'Shakky', asked.

Shakky closed down the bar, not that there were any customers around.

"I'll introduce myself properly. I'm Silvers Rayleigh, former right hand of Gol D. Roger." Rayleigh said nonchalantly.

"EHHHH?! You were on the pirate king's ship?!" Luffy became an instant fan boy.

"You didn't realize that?" Robin asked, whilst everyone else felt silly for not putting two and two together before now.

"Ah! That's where I recognized you from!" Cherry pointed at him. "Old Man Chinjao complained about you all the time!"

"Oh, you know Chinjao? I heard a while back that his head was restored and he re-entered the Grand Line. Caused quite the stir." Rayleigh said.

"Oh, I'm the one who fixed his head. In exchange I got to learn Hasshoken, pretty sweet deal right?" Cherry spoke proudly.

"Haha, it is quite the deal. Although Chinjao was never taken seriously by those at the top, he's not weak by any means."

They chatted about how Hachi had saved Rayleigh's life after being shipwrecked long ago and about how Gold D. Roger hadn't been captured, but rather turned himself in as he had a terminal disease. In doing so he was able to set off the next age of piracy with his dying words. They talked about Crocus, the lighthouse keeper at the entrance to the Grand Line and how he had been the doctor of Roger's ship.

"One of the people in the plaza that day was Shanks, you're familiar with him right? You have his straw hat after all." Rayleigh observed.

"You know Shanks?" Luffy asked, stuffing his face with meat.

"He and another man named Buggy, who should be a pirate in East Blue, were cabin boys on our ship." Rayleigh said.

"Shanks was on the Pirate King's ship?!" Luffy exclaimed.

They finished up their meal and drinks, then Rayleigh stood up.

"Well, I should be getting started on coating your ship. I won't charge since you're Hachi's friends." Rayleigh offered generously.

"Rayleigh, I have a question..." Robin stopped him. "Just what is the 'Will of D'? I saw the words Roger left behind in Skypeia carved in the ancient language. Do you know what happened during the void century?!"

Robin was getting uncharacteristically excited and tense.

"Yeah, we found out what happened during the void century. However, I think you should slow down and take your time. Travel the world. Maybe we, and Ohara too, were going too fast. Even if I tell you what I learned, there's nothing you can do about it as you are. Who knows, perhaps you'll come to a different conclusion than we did. Still, I'll tell you if you really want to know." Rayleigh said.

Robin sighed. "No, that won't be necessary."

Rayleigh smiled. "You'll get there someday. What happened at Ohara sickens me. We were just pirates, not scholars, we didn't really understand those words. We just heard... the voice of all things, that was all..."

"Wait, Rayleigh! Is the One Piece real?! Is it really on the last-" Usopp asked on the edge of his seat.

"USOPP! I don't want to know where it is, or even if it's real!" Luffy said angrily. "If I find out now, I'll quit being a pirate! I don't want to go on a boring adventure!"

Usopp stumbled over an apology, understanding Luffy's meaning.

"Well, it's probably that the real One Piece is the friends you made along the way." Cherry said with a smirk.

"Don't say that, you'll jinx it!" Luffy redirected his anger towards Cherry whilst she laughed at his antics.

"Can you do it? You can't imagine what the Grand Line has in store for you. The enemies will be stronger than you could ever dream of. Can you control that wild sea?"

"I don't want to control it! The Pirate King is just the freest man on the sea!" Luffy replied, earning a smile from Rayleigh and Shakky.

"I guess you're not just going to say it outright, are you old man?" Cherry said, drawing everyone's attention.

"What do you mean?" Nami asked.

"He's been dropping hints this whole time, but he won't say it directly because he doesn't want to influence your 'adventure'. The New World is too much for you guys right now, so you should take it slow and get stronger first." Cherry stated bluntly. She was honestly of the same opinion.

"What?! But we're so much stronger than we were when we first entered the Grand Line!" Usopp insisted.

"You guys can go right now if you really want to, but I won't follow you in. Even with all my strength, I'm not that arrogant to think I belong in that sea just yet." Cherry said resolutely. "I know exactly what sorts of monsters dwell beyond that giant red wall. Facing them head on without the strength or the backing of someone with the strength is tantamount to suicide."

This sudden proclamation caught them off guard and they had no choice but the consider her words seriously.

Even the usually headstrong Luffy had to stop and think about her words. If Cherry was anyone else perhaps he would have dismissed them as overly cautious, but he knew Cherry was just about reckless and crazy as he was. He glanced at Rayleigh, but the old man had quite the poker face and surrendered no opinion on the matter.

"Well, it'll take 3 days at least to finish the coating, so you have some time to think. First thing's first, you have survive the admiral that going to be here soon." Rayleigh said.

"The admiral that is already here." Cherry corrected, causing the others to snap out of their stupor.

"We should split up and meet back here in three days." Zoro suggested, this was accepted by the group, though Sanji didn't miss the chance to mock his poor directional awareness.

Rayleigh split up a sheet of vivre card material so they could find him when the time came. Camie and Hachi thanked them for their help once again, then they set off to figure out what to do with themselves for three days.

Cherry could hear the sounds of battle around the archipelago. The admiral in particular was making quite the cacophony, and he was fast. Faster than Cherry ever imagined the people in this world could move, even lightning didn't compare.

A heavy figure landed on the ground in front of them.

"Kuma?!" Zoro shouted, drawing his swords.

"That's not Kuma." Cherry said.

"What do you mean?! He looks like Kuma to me?!" Franky asked.

The fake Kuma took off his gloves and fired a beam of intense light at them. Luffy jumped out of the way and the area behind him exploded.

Cherry released her sword which snaked into the fake Kuma's body and wreaked havoc on its robot components, which made up most of its body. It jerked around trying and failing to maintain control of itself as smoke started to spill out from it. Eventually it collapsed after a couple tens of seconds, proving to be remarkably resilient to electric based attacks.

"Did you kill him?" Nami asked.

"IT is still alive, if you can call it that. All I did was fry to robotic parts." Cherry said. "I can't imagine who would even bother making a cyborg in this way when it doesn't possess a will of its own."

Cherry had sensed the faint vital energy within, but her observation haki sensed nothing from it, suggesting it lacked free will.

"There might be more than one of these things. With armament haki you should be able to damage them, but you haven't all awakened that." Cherry said.

"Should we hide the body before we leave?" Sanji suggested.

"That'll take time we don't have. That guy is pretty fast after all, I think the fake Kuma must have alerted him." Cherry said.

"Who-" Chopper could finish before a man dress like a sumo wrestler with a giant, double sided battleaxe landed nearby with another fake Kuma.

"You guys did a real number on PX-4, huh. These Pacifista cost as much as a battleship to build, too. It'll be a pain to write a report for Vegapunk about this." The sumo man said.

Cherry looked at the axe the man was holding with scorn. The craftmanship was familiar to her of course.

"Where did you get that axe, friend?" Cherry voice had a sinister and cold undertone.

"I won't be answering any of your questions. I have the best guard in the world, no secrets can escape my well guarded mouth." He said.

"What's you name?" Chopper asked.

"I already told you! I'm the one with the best guarded mouth in the world, Sentomaru!" Sentomaru stated. "That was an accident, I wasn't answering your question."

"Begin, PX-1." Sentomaru commanded, and the pacifista beside him attacked immediately.

Cherry's sword flashed into its body and once more wreaked havoc. Sentomaru clicked his tongue in annoyance.

"I don't bear any grudges against you, but don't think I'll let you get away that easily!" Sentomaru said.

He blocked that attacks from Luffy and the others seemingly with ease. Still he was alone against all of them, so they had some confident at breaking through.

Cherry didn't consider Sentomaru a real threat. His haki was more refined that her own, but Hasshoken was designed to penetrate defenses no matter how strong.

Cherry sensed someone appear almost instantly behind her and a kick slammed into her head before she could react.

"It's too late for you now." Admiral Borsalino said with a lazy tone.
