Jayr POV - Blue Star, Grand Line, Sabaody Archipego - 21 GAP

  A few months passed sihe events that took p Sandy Isnd, and a new year started in the One Pieiverse which means that only one year is left before the ical start of Luffy's Adventure, not that it matters much as the current history of this world is way too different from the known ical one.

  A lot of things happened in these months, some iing, some eaining, some heartwarming, some happy, and some just pin b.

  Let's start with what happened right after Nico Robin woke up, I introduico Robin to everyone living ohena's God Bidoof and after having a hearty breakfast together, we all decided to go back to the Alubarna Pace to enjoy a few more days in the pany of Vivi, Igaram, Terracotta, Koa, Pell, Chaka, and King Cobra, of course, the main reason behind that was also to che Koa's situation to see how she was dealing with this new situation, and so, we spent a couple of day pying around, expl the city, and just rexing together, of course, all that without fetting about the daily training after all the grid ops.

  I also took advantage of these days to request King Cobra the permission to visit the Tomb of the Kings, an aomb located in Arabasta's capital, Alubarna, whereihe tombs and graves of the past kings of Arabasta, but more importantly, it is also the location of the Arabastan Poneglyph.

  Of course, I also told him about my desire to show Nico Robin the Arabasta Poneglyph Chamber which was hidden underground, below the Tomb of the Kings that be accessed through a secret staircase while also reassuring him that her nor Robin had any desire to find or cim the A on Pluton for ourselves but only to satisfy Robin's desire to learn more about this world's history.

  King Cobra easily aowledged my request and without aation he led us to the Tomb of the Kings and ihe hidden Arabasta Poneglyph Chamber where Robin took some time to study the cubic stoele, before letting out a disappointed sigh enting about the fact that the poneglyph really only talked about the A on and its location, but cheered up when I told her that I knew about the location of other poneglyph and that I take her there if she desires.

  After fulfilling Robin's desire to see the poneglyph, enjoying a rexing stay, and firming that Koa's situation is going well and that she is growing closer to her new loving adoptive parents with each passing day, we return to the Athena's God Bidoof with Hancod her sisters and finally left the isnd to explore more of this wonderful world.

  We tinued our jouroward the isnd, Jaya, a spring isnd in Paradise that was once shaped like a skull and much rger than it is now, it was the homend of the Shandia 400 years ago, but nowadays, it is known as a wless zone popur with pirates.

  And of course, when we explored the isnd, the wless people living there didn't hesitate to cause some trouble, especially sihere was a high number of high-quality women in roup, but unfortunately for them, they tried to harass Nikita, who didn't hesitate to curse them with a Biological Spell that turhem into squirrel while Zandeer knocked out everyone else on the isnd with his Reiatsu (Spiritual Pressure) that spiked because of the overprotectiveoward his lover.

  After enjoying a brief stay on Jaya, we moved on to the very iing isnd, the sky isnd Skypiea, of course, with a fantastic ship like the Athena's God Bidoof, reag that particur isnd was very safe and easy, after all, Bidi is more than capable of flying on her own without any problem, she is even capable of leaving the atmosphere with her own propulsion, travel at FTL (Faster Than Light) speed, and of course even travel across universes using Perceptual Teleportation while ected to Cratergann, reag a sky isnd like Skypiea is a child's py for her so no waiting for a Knock Up Stream.

  Skypiea in general is located on an absolutely gigantic mass of fossilized clouds known as an Imperial Cumulus.

  This cloud seems to wander around the skies near Jaya and happens to be so dehat it mao blot out sunlight almost pletely, instantly darkening the portion of the Blue Sea where it floats by and giving the impression that nightfall has instantly arrived.

  The first area we visited is the iic Heaven's Gate, which is located in the White Sea and serves as arao Skypiea.

  Visitors must pay 1,000,000,000 Extol per person to enter, which may seem excessive for a tax, but when one verts Extol into Belly the number bees 100,000 Belly which isn't too much, especially when one siders that Alvida's former bounty of 5.000.000 was more than enough to cover the cost, and her bounty was one of the lowest one ience, lower than her I remember only Tony Tony Chopper and Bepo, anyway, I easily paid for everyone and we calmly tinued on our journey.

  After passing through the Heaven's Gate we visited Angel Isnd which is Skypiea's main residential district, posed entirely of isnd clouds.

  Bisected by the famous Lovely Street, it tained a wharf, houses, and many shops, and is usually patrolled by the White Berets, we spent some time enjoying the sights, shopping, having dates, and pying around.

  But then, we moved our exploration to the Upper Yard, which is the other half of Jaya, bsted up by Knock Up Stream 400 years ago. It is much rger than Angel Isnd and as it tains a great amount of Vearth it is of high value for the sky inhabitants, being called "holy nd".

  The trees and animals on Upper Yard have grown to huge sizes, due to the decrease imosphere.

  A giaalk, called Giant Jack, towers up in the ter of the isnd, pierg through the ruins of a city Shandora and God's Shrine.

  The Upper Yard had bee the residence for rulers of Skypiea for turies now, including Ealking about Enel, well, he had a very unfortunate enter with a very charming and handsome young man who beat the shit out of him aracted the Devil Fruit that was fused with his body turning him bato a normal mortal.

  Enel's Devil Fruit was the Goro no Mi (Rumble Rumble Fruit) a Logia Type Devil Fruit that grants the power to create, trol, and bee lightning at will, making the user a Lightning Human, it is sidered by many one of the stro Devil Fruit in this world.

  I have to admit that it was quite strange and o have a Devil Fruit in my hands, especially one as "famous" as the Goro no Mi (Rumble Rumble Fruit) which is a round, pear-shaped fruit that tapers off towards the stem, resembling a loquat.

  Its golden-yellow peel features the overpping swirl pattern typical of Devil Fruits while f sharp, jagged outgrowths all over that vary ih, width, and dire, resembling sparks of electricity while the topping of the fruit is a green, T-shaped stem that zigzags into a stylized lightning bolt, with one end pointy and the other ft.

  Anyway, after extrag the Devil Fruit from a beaten-up Ehat young man allowed him to plete his destiny and teleported him to the moon and after that, he also graciously made sure to ensure a sting peace between the Shandian and the people of Angel Isnd under Gan Fall's lead who was reinstated into his office as God/Governor of Skypiea.

  Of course, while I took care of the aftermath of Enel's suddeure, Robin and the others explored the a city of Shandora where they found another Poneglyph whifortunately only taihe details of the location of Poseidon, the a on, not my uncle-in-w but still made Robin very happy about its discovery.

  Regarding the acquired Goro no Mi (Rumble Rumble Fruit), I offered it to Koby, but he resolutely refused to eat it saying that he prefers gaining strength and power his oithout res to shortcuts, as expected from a true hard-w shounen protagonist.

  Talking about Koby, in these months my training from hell showed truly remarkable results, not only did Koby fully master the Rokushiki the special, superhuman martial arts style, but he also fully awakened his Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation Haki) and Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki) reag a level of power that is parable to a capable Vice-Admiral, sure he is still far away from individuals like Garp, Sengoku, the Admirals, and the other top batant, but now the distaween him and them is much shorter than before.

  After spending some more time, enjoying the sights of the sky isnd, we tinued with our journey, where we quickly explored Navarone Isnd.

  The isnd was occupied by hundreds of Marine soldiers anized into different groups for various purposes, such as the Navarone fighting corps, of course, the only one who fully explored the isnd was Koby as only he had permission to ehe more secure areas that serve as Marine Base, but since we are officially all civilians, ign Nico Robin but I simply made it so that everyone who looked at her saw the appearany sister Shaina instead of her inal one, a simple but effective illusion to avoid plication.

  Of course, another reason why they didn't give us any trouble is also that Fleet Admiral Sengoku clearly received and uood the warning I sent them through Borsalino, a clear indication of that is that Koby still has his special rank and he even has the merits he gained until now by capturing some random pirates we entered on our way and by what he aplished on the Nanatsu Isnds.

  Anyway, Vice Admiral Jonathan and his marines didn't give us any trouble, in fact, they were quite the hospitable bunch, reminding me once again that the number of good, virtuous marines isn't as small as the anime and manga showed me, especially the Vice Admiral Jonathan who is truly a just, kind and generous person.

  This was especially surprising once I remembered that Vice Admiral Jonathan was actually Sakazuki's protege, the man who seems to represent everything that has gone wrong with the Marine.

  After spending a day with the marines of the G-8 Marine Base, we moved on with our journey reag the L Long Land Archipego, a of ten isnds in a ring shape, with a path between the isnds that surfaces once every year.

  We had quite a bit of fun expl these isnds especially the kids as all the animals that live there are unique in that they are all lohan normal in some way, such as a tall horse with a long neck, a bear with very long limbs, a dog with a veeery long body, a ptypus with a long beak and tahers, a leopard with a long face, all very funny looking and peaceful so we spent quite some time there rexing and expl all ten isnds to admire all those unique animals.

  Then we moved on to the isnd in our route, the very famous Water 7, also known as the "Capital of Water" a city in Paradise known for its shipwrights, and from the fans of One Piece for being the home of Franky, one of the Straw Hats, the pce where both the A on Pluton and Gol D. Roger's ship, the Oro Ja were built, and also the pce where some agents of the Wover's anization known as Cipher Pol are currently w undercover.

  Water 7 is quite a beautiful city where waterways and als are used for transportation almost like roads, often surrounded by sidewalks on the als.

  Many citizens use Bulls which are seahorse-like creatures that are attached to boats to move around the city which is quite a unique means of transport.

  The architecture is very colorful, often using a tan or peach color for the walls and roofs which are many times red and semi-circur; nearly all the roofs are of red color aure, and the houses are tiered to allow for more houses to take up room and are usually made keeping in mind the city sinks, some als are wide enough for ships, but those are mostly just to let some ships ehe city so they may be docked somewhere.

  The city resembled a giant fountain in a volo shape because of the tiered system of building houses and I couldn't help but have a nostalgic feeling while I walked through this city, simply because it gave me the same vibes and feeling of the city of Veni Italy and just like the aftermentioned city, Water 7 is truly an architectural marvel perfect fhtseeing.

  Of course, it was iable that after t the city for a while the CP9 agents hidden among the popution took notice of the presence of Nico Robin among us, especially since I didn't hide or mask her appearan any way to lure them out as I wao help Robin face her fear of the Wover, obviously, before doing that, I made sure to talk to her about it together with everyone else and it took some time and quite a lot of reassurance from my girls, Koby, Nikita, and Zandeer before she agreed.

  Another reason why I decided to act against the CP9 agents who infiltrated this city was to prevent them from harming Iceburg and Franky, especially sidering that it isn't sure now that Luffy would e in time to save them, and even if he would actually use the same route this time, even more so now that the Going Merry is almost iructible.

  As expected, the CP9 agents didn't hesitate to make their move once Robin was expl the city "alone" in the night, they encircled her and started to threaten her using our safety to further intimidate her and force Robin's pliahey even threateo summon a Buster Call to destroy and sink Water 7 then using us as a scapegoat, a cssic move that truly horrified Robin.

  But of course, before the farce could tinue, I appeared o Robin, reassured her, and simply khem all out, then we headed toward the Galley-La Headquarters, met up with Iceburg, and showed him the rec of the meetiween the CP9 and Robin before unmasking them and telling him who they were and the reason why they infiltrated into his pany and city.

  Iceburg was uandably shocked by the revetion that his secretary and two of his most trusted worker were Wover agents after the blueprint of the A on Pluton and even more by their viciousness about using the Wover's most terrible attack force, the Buster Call, to destroy Water 7, and frame us, making so that we will be judged at the judiciary isnd.

  After revealing the agents' identity and motives to Iceburg, we left the Galley-La Headquarters and I didn't hesitate to kill members of the CP9, even those that weren't present at the moment, Rob Lucci, Kaku, Jabra, Blueno, Kumadori, Fukurou, Kalifa, and Spadam, I didn't spare any one of them, after all, they were all ruthless assassins and scumbags and there was o spare them when they would have easily itted even more atrocities for the Wover and the World Nobles given the ce.

  We spent the few weeks enjoying the sights of Water 7, pying around, having romantic dates, or simply some window shopping with the girls before we moved on toward our destination, which is located in the Calm Belt.

  I'm obviously talking about Amazon Lily, an empire located in Isnd of Women, an isnd located in the Calm Belt adjat to Paradise, the home of the Kuja, a tribe of all female fighters, and more importantly, the home of Hancock, Sandersonia, and Marigold.

  Of course, the reason we headed there was to return back the Boa Sisters so that they could happily grow up with their people.

  Still, there was a little problem as the three girls were a bit relut to leave the Athena's God Bidoof as they had grown quite attached to us iime we spent together.

  We also felt the same, but we khat it was better for them to stay with their own people, especially since we won't stay in this universe forever.

  Luckily in the end, we were able to vihem to return bae by promising them that we would visit and e to their help whehey needed, and for that, I gave them an artifay owion that ehem to tact the Athena's God Bidoof across universes, I admit that it was kinda difficult to create, but by using the Perceptual Teleportation as basis and little bit of a cheat named cept Magic, I was able to pull it off successfully.

  Once we reached the Isnd of Women, for obvious reasons, Saori, Seika, and the irls were the only ohat set foot on the isnd with Hancock, Sandersonia, and Marigold, while the rest of the males respectfully remained ohena's God Bidoof with me to not upset the Kuja living here.

  After a few days, the girls returned and we quickly set off toward our destination, Florian Triangle, a stretch of sea that must be sailed through to travel from Water 7 to Fish-Man Isnd, notorious for the many ships that mysteriously go missing within it.

  Once again, the reason we headed there was to keep a promise I made to a certain Isnd Whale, to find Brook and make sure he reunited with Laboon.

  With the help of the pass of Eternal Paths finding Brook's ghost ship was quite easy, and I admit that the rea of Gad, Saphir, Rubis, and Emeraude to Brook's appearance was quite funny as he scared the shit out of them.

  The reason for that is that Brook aremely tall skeleton with afro hair, dressed in formal attire plete with a top hat and e, standing at 2,66 meters i.

  Brook's style was that of a gentleman sisting of a coat, top hat, trousers, and afro, which were bck, while the inner linings of his coat were yelle, the cravat that was tied iween his coat and around his neck was blue, the outer c of Brook's e sword which he carries urple, also, due to his many years of seclusion, his clothes were somewhat tattered.

  (Image Here - Brook)

  Spoiler

  [colpse]But while those 4 were shocked, everyone else was quite calm about it mostly because we already knew or had seen simir sights, well, Robin and Koby were surprised too, but Robi her usual calm when fag ued situations while Koby was already used to Eri's Undead.

  Anyway, I didn't chase around the issue and directly told Brook that I came here for him, I also told him about Laboon's dition and the promise I made to him, hearing that, Brook didn't hesitate to jump ohena's God Bidoof and e with us, but of course, before he leave the Florian Triangle I had to do something else, recover Brook's soul so that I safely teleport him to the Twin Capes.

  After our enter with Brook, I used the pass of Eternal Paths to find Thriller Bark, a giant ship that used to be an isnd located in the West Blue but was then verted into a pirate ship, the world's rgest one, by the Seven Warlord of the Seas, Georia, serving as the ship for the Thriller Bark Pirates.

  The isnd is surrounded by a huge outer wall that goes around the ship, with a gate resembling a giant mouth that opens and closes, there are four separate s that ect from the wall to the mast above the mansion.

  The isnd has an old broken ione wall encirg it with towers and a moat. There is a mansion in the middle of the isnd, surrounded by an apparently dead forest.

  The entire ship somewhat resembled the stereotypical sery in vampire or horror movies, such as Dracu or Fraein.

  Of course, once reached the ship, I didn't waste any time and simply used my Spiral o to knock out everyone on the ship/isnd, then I found Brook's shadow aur to him.

  Regarding Georia, I decided to not do anything to him, for a very simple reason, he isn't a fully evil individual, a clear indication of that is that the members of his crew care deeply for him, and surprisingly he also cares for them.

  Moreover, he also surprisingly didn't kill any i person, sure, he harmed them and stole their shadow, but he didn't do more than that, because for the shadow to exist, the people who had them must also still be alive, after all, even if the two are separated, they are still oy, and so, if the inal possessor of the shadow dies, so does the shadow.

  After returning to Brook his shadow, I didn't waste any more time and quickly teleported us to the Twin Capes surprising Crocus who almost attacked us with his harpoon, but stopped just in time as he reized both me and Brook's iic hairstyle and attire, and then, after being stunned for a few seds he quickly rushed to call Laboon.

  What followed was a very moving reunioween Brook and the Isnd Whale Laboon as the two sang and cried together, even if Brook didn't have eyes to cry.

  But while I was thinking such silly things, I remembered that I could easily fix Brook's situation, so I didn't hesitate and used Restoration Magic to return his body back to his living status, something quite easy to do, and after that, Brook truly cried.

  I spent some more time with Brook and Laboon and in the end, I admit I had grown quite close to the pirate musi, even more so because at one point, Brook and I truly reized oher and the hidden effey Blessing did activate as Brook became a fellow Man of Culture which also earned me the Seed of Culture of the One Pieiverse.

  Then I decided to give them spad returo the Athena's God Bidoof who was already heading out of the gloomy Florian Triangle and spent the rest of the time enjoying the pany of my children and lovers as my trusty ship headed toward the st stop of the first half of the Grand Lihe Sabaody Archipego.

  After going over everything that happened in these months, I sit more fortably on the captai of the bridge and start to think about the most ing issue, Nico Robin's overall situation, 'Apparently, everything seems going well... During these months I helped Robin chase after her dream by showing her all the Poneglyphs found on our route, helped her slowly get along with everyone on the ship, she started to spends more time with girls, reads stories and pys with the kids, enjoy some games with us, and after the events of Water 7, I even found her smiling genuinely more and more, making me sure that I was able tnite her will to live... but something feels a little off, it is like she isn't fully opening up to us like she tries to always maintain some kind of distance...'

  While I'm thinking about that, I'm suddenly brought out of my thoughts by Bidi's voice as she says, "Jayr-nii! We are about to reach the Sabaody Archipego... Should I head there as we pnned before or should we directly head toward Fish-man Isnd?"

  Hearing that, I start to think about our option, 'Well, my initial pn was to go there and erase those disgusting au houses while also freeing all the sves... but if I simply do that it won't ge much, which means that I 't just stop there but I will have to work toward improving everyone's situation. And the best way to do that is by burning down the Wover and building somethier from its ashes... Something that takes way too much work and dedication even from someoh my powers, especially as I don't want to force everyoo do my bidding against their will... But I also 't exactly igheir plight, especially if I see them... Should I actually ig and enjoy this vacation with my lovers and kids? No that isn't something I do... Damn, what should I do?'

  But while I'm unsure of what to do, all of a sudden, the ship starts to shake as the sea starts getting agitated, at the same time, Bidi quickly reports, "Jayr-nii! My radar picked up a huge mass quickly rising up from the depth of the sea! It's quickly heading toward us!"

  Odyin
