《The Legend Of One Piece: A Journey Through Divided Seas》4: The Town Circle's Statue
Advertisement
Eloia's trip down memory lane is interrupted when she senses something approaching her from the side. She instinctively tosses her head back as the sharp end of a needle manages to tickle past the end of her chin. Dozens more fly towards her and she manages to Instinctively dodge them. She scans around the area looking for the attacker as she senses an attack coming from behind her.
"More punch!" A voice approaches her from behind.
She turns around and sees a fist increasing bigger in size and speed moving towards her. It lands a hit on her, striking her through the statue. She lays on the ground, clenching onto the sharp pain throbbing in her rib cage. The fountain has been completely destroyed and she is soaking wet.
Eloia looks up in realization at another attack coming to strike her. This time, she's able to see the person clearly coming from above her. In amazement his whole body increases in size. He looks like a giant. He slams his body on top of Eloia crashing right into her, giving her no time to run. The ground beneath them caves in and Eloia is no longer in view. The town circle's center is completely destroyed.
"Brother Michael, I think you may have done too much." A silhouette in the distance approaches in laughter. She twirls a pin around her finger.
"I finally got the annoying roach, I think boss will be happy, my sister Catherine!" He exclaims.
He then pauses, something has startled him.
"Is everything alright, Brother..?"
Catherine approaches them closer and sees a painful look on his face. His body then starts to hover over the ground and Eloia is back in view completely lifting him up by both hands. She tosses him to the side and his huge body lands into a building completely destroying it. Defeated in the wreckage he returns back to his normal size.

Eloia pats herself off and shrugs off the shock of the attack.
Great, now i'm all wet. Eloia takes off her jacket soaking and tosses it to the side.
"How.. did you!.." The lady looks at her alarmed.
Eloia cracks her neck up and down and waits for Catherines next move. A serious expression is seen upon her face.
Catherine lifts her arm and looks at the watch on her wrist, her facial expression shifts into a sly smile.
"It should be anytime now.."
Eloia begins to feel nauseous. She starts stumbling as everything around her begins to darken and finally, her body loses strength and she passes out onto the floor. Dozens of men in suits approach to collect her.
"I only needed one of these to graze her skin, her fate was sealed soon after. Well, at least now Boss will be happy." She gives a cheerful smile.
"Take her to Captain Jack, he will know what to do with her. The rest of you come collect my twin brother, he's heavily injured." She says.
Cloud finally arrives at the town circle.
Well, no mistake, she was here. He instantly notices her jacket lying on the ground and sits his hands at the top of his hips examining the mess that surrounded him. His attention shifts towards the left overs of the statue.
Shanks, huh? He smiles. The bust of the statue was still intact while the fountain that surrounded it was completely destroyed. Something in the bust of the statue catches his eye as he moves closer and sits down to examine it.
"Not all treasure is silver and gold.." Were the words engraved at the very bottom of the bust. Curious, Cloud begins to knock around on the bust of the statue as suddenly a hollow sound returns from one side. He makes a fist and punches through shattering the bust completely. A smile grows on his face as he stares at the straw hat that sits in front of him.

And while our hero was ready to become the typical hero he was meant to be, things start out not even close to how he would have hoped. The story will be guided by the choices readers vote on. P.S.

What in the world is this place? I look around and see a line of empty jail cells next to us. The walls are covered with sharp stalagmites, and each of us have chains connected to our hands and ankles. Just a few hours ago I was eating top ramen in class and now I’m chained next to a weird dwarf. Maybe I’m dreaming, or maybe this is hell?

I flinch as his hand reaches to my face, and aggressively pulls down the cloak from my head. He surveys my tear stained face and jewelry all the way down to my dress. Then he speaks, "what's your name?" I open my mouth but no words come out. Fear grips me again. "I believe I asked you a question," his eyes grow darker. "Al-Alice" I whisper.His eyes wander outside to the window. "You will address me as 'your highness' and I do not tolerate mistakes. I will punish you and you will never forget to follow my orders.
