I, along with the rest of these half-witted, odd excuses for pirates, have now found ourselves in the center of what appeared to be the shape of a large coliseum; carved out by the earth herself.
"This sea," I began to speak. "This world is by far the most bizarre place i have ever encountered. Am I dreaming?" I glanced about repeatedly, with a smirk on my face as i waited for an answer. "I must be dreaming. That would explain why nothing makes any sense. The feel of my body; how it interacts with the surroundings of this oddly displayed world."
The eyes of the young lass began to take chase as i moved away from the group. But was quickly halted at the tip of a long metallic staff. The bronzed staff wielded by the young girl was solid and heavy looking; very ornate. Tipped by a blunted edge that sprouted outward like a curved sabre. "I told you. You aren't going anywhe-"
With a much defined smile I glared back at the girl and swiped away the staff with a firm and steady hand. Her face scrunched up with anger and with a clean sweep of her staff, she pressed forward. Clash! With a set of cringed teeth and focused eyes, she icily stared at my cutlass sword, Un-yielded and UN sheathed. My dried out locks and loose garments whipped through the air as the impact of the force swept across the field. My legs rooted to the ground like a mountain. I grinned. "I think I'm starting to like this dream."
With the strong left foot i kicked off of the girl's ruff chest plate and sprung back in the distance. Out of instinct i quickly dashed forward as i advanced for a strike. Or perhaps it was the excitement of the dream that generated more courage than i had ever experienced. My body flew across the plain like the wind. And not figuratively but literally. This dream, or world, somehow amplified every bit of my physical strengths to extreme heights. With a powerful war cry the girl swung her staff downward. A massive explosion masked the area with a cloud of dust and rain drops of scattered dirt falling all around. My face had been pummeled into the ground. "I think I'm starting to not like this dream."
As I lay on the ground frozen and unable to move, the corner of my eyes spotted two feet as they planted beside me. I watched helplessly as the feet where soon accompanied by a hand. It was the swordsman. He had approached me as he lifted up my cutlass sword. "Zoro." Long nosed Ussop lightly whispered.
With his arm raised forward, the tip of his sword pointed directly at the girl, he smirked. "I got this Luffy."
I grunted ever so softly as I was laid out on the ground like a fish on a deck; motionless and on the brink of death. I watched feebly as the two stared down. Neither moving an inch. In some strange manner I felt a bit of pity for the lass. For I couldn't determine if it was bravery or nothing more than stupidity that fueled her. Like a monument of a goddess, or remembrance of a great warrior long ago. Tranquil and unafraid. What nourished her Will to stand against this titan in human form?
The brief dramatic pause had been broken when the swordsman, Zoro, sprung forward towards the mysterious challenger. Swinging both his and my cutlass sword diagonally. The Lass had quickly bolted out of the way but not before replacing herself with a wall that sprouted from the ground like a daisy. But the swordsman, without mercy, responded by kicking the severed piece directly to the girl. A large explosion and the faint grunting cry of the lass pierced through the air as she was now pinned between the massive boulder and the wall of the coliseum. Or so it seemed.
"Not bad." The girl remarked as she emerged from the rubble.
With a pleased smile the swordsman scoffed. "Still standing, huh? Good."
Once more Zoro, the swordsman, quickly dashed forward; gripping the swords out like wings for balance.
With a raging roar the lass' voice blasted through the air as she stepped forward, stomping her left foot "Seismic Wave!" The Island then vigorously shook about as cracks on the ground began to spider web their way across the field. Zoro dancing about like a new born calf as he attempted to regain his balance. The small band of pirates yelled for their life. And I, paralyzed on the floor, watching as the ground split before me. With a large leap, the confident swordsman pressed for the attack once more. "Two sword style…"
"Zoro!" The odd bunch screamed. I slowly began to regain control of my body; pushing for the strength to pick myself up. My eyes widened at the site that stood before me. "What the?" The swordsman questioned. I too found myself lost for words. Crucified and frozen in mid-air, Zoro's feet hung loosely while his arms spread out on opposite ends. Sweet began to pour from his face as he struggled to free himself. But then with out any reason to do so, the lass had freed him from the mysterious bind. Zoro then stood up and slowly began to retire alongside the other young pirates. "What the hell Moss ball," Sanji yelled. "First you attack this beautiful girl and now you simply give up!"
"Why don't you go up there then?"
"Yeah, like I'm gonna fight with this beautiful young lady."
"Cut the chivalry crap Chef Boyardee! "
"Magnetics…" Nami murmured.
"Exactly," Zoro confirmed. "Without my swords I'm useless."
"Enough! The lass shouted. "There is only one I want to fight."
Everyone then turned to the dirty straw hatted boy. The same boy who suddenly realized he was now the center of attention. "WHAT THE HELL LUFFY!" the entire group screamed. Oblivious and lost, the boy blinked his eyes as he was quietly eating ….a leg of meat?
"WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?"
"I found it."
"YOU IDIOT!"
Without much thought the dirty boy stood up before the lass and began to crack his knuckles. "You said you're after the one piece, right?" The young girl answers back with a light nods. "Then I guess I have no choice."
"Now Gum-Gum," The straw hatted boy, Luffy, cocked his right arm back but was then interrupted by the ground as it began to sprout weeds of pillars. "Wha…Hey!"
The ground began to spit out tomb liked structures of all sizes; triggered like well-placed traps. Luffy jumped about like a bouncing ball as he dodged the stone structures, laughing like a child playing a game of chase. "Gum-Gum," The boy then began to swing his arms wildly at an alarming pace. Did my eyes deceive me? Did this boys arms just multiply? ", Gatling!"
"Seismic Wave!"
"Whoa!" Luffy began to trip over the upturned earth causing his various hands blindly scatter about.
"Look out!" Long Nose cautioned.
"Luffy you idiot!" Zoro grunted as he franticly jumped about. Pow!
"Ahh!" I was then struck by one of the stray fists dazing me out, but not before removing a tooth or two.
"Now Gum-Gum…Huh?" Everyone, myself included, watched nervously as the lass began to float up in the air.
"Levitation too?" Questioned Ussop.
"Of course," Nami replied. "She must be a Paramecia Type. Her body is filled with whatever it is she manipulates the earth with."
"Enough of this," the girl spouted. "Time to end this. Terra…"
"Gladly," Luffy interrupted as he leapt in the air. "Gum-Gum…."
But before the lass could finish her next move she was quickly distracted by the stretched out arm that wrapped around her. "What?" And was then casted out in a rather deadly spin. Just before hitting the floor she stopped herself and quickly turned back facing her powerful opponent.
"RIFLE!"
We all stared in marvel as we watched the dirty boy's fist collide with the young lass' face in a very unpleasant way. Forcing her body to shoot out like a cannon and blast through the ground like a meteor. Luffy then landed on his feet rather calmly as he readjusted his hat.
The crater in the center of the coliseum began to rattle as the girl emerged from the pit of rocks. She smiled. "You are definitely as strong as I heard Monkey D. Luffy. I can admit when I have lost, but don't think you have seen the last of me."
"Shishishishi," he chuckled. "Lookin' forward to it."
"I am Mica. And with the powers of the Terra Terra fruit I am able to create and manipulate the minerals within the earth. I hope to see you at Grand Line Luffy."
After Mica, the mysterious Lass, had left, the rest of the pirates and I began to board upon their vessel.
"Do any of you young chaps know of how I can return home?"
"You mean you don't wanna join my crew old man?"
"How did you get here?" Nami questioned. "And how did you end up in our ship?"
"More specifically in my dear Nami's room?" Sanji added as he inhaled another drag from what appeared to be his 5th cigarette.
"I don't know," I began to speak. "I remember being on a ship and coming into contact with a heavy golden medallion with a hideous looking mustache."
"Medallion?" Nami thought silently. "Remember back in Syrup village when you were fighting Kuro and the Black cat Pirates?" Long nose and the others confirmed. "During your battle I snuck into their ship and stole their sad excuse of a bounty. Well, among the treasure was a medallion of a jolly roger with a headband and crossed swords. Maybe that's how he got here. It's in my room right now."
And just like that, it ended my adventures dream and I awoke in the same chambers as before. In what appeared to be Davey Jones cabin. Just as I was about to make my escape a voice approached, causing me to run back in the room with my hand over my mouth in attempt to stay quiet, but to my surprise I found something equally as alarming…I was missing some teeth.
