《Justice in the One Piece World》25. Rocket Man

Chapter 25
After waking up on the Requiem, beating up Tim and sending him to the sick bay, getting another mouthful of complaints from doc, we arrived at Enies Lobby.
The Massive scale of the Marine Base was definitely downplayed in the anime. From the towers of Justice to the colossal Gates of Justice, this truly did show the scale of power and might the Marines had in this world.
The only question being, how was Enies Lobby beaten by a group of Pirates who still don’t even know how to use Haki? Shouldn’t there at least be someone at the rank of a Rear Admiral or some Marine Veterans from the New World stationed here for extra security?
Whatever the case, the defeat the Marines faced here at Enies Lobby, THEIR OWN HEADQUARTERS, against a group of ROOKIE PIRATES is a massive stain on the Marine’s power on the world. Hmm… well I guess it’s OUR headquarters now as well.
Diana: First, let’s check in to the base and get ourselves a room.
Me: A suite
Diana: Kara, I’m sure they’ll only have the best for Vice Admirals like us.
Tim & John: What about us?
Diana: We’ll take in Sarah in with us. You boys enjoy your rooms together, but don’t cause any trouble!
After we make sure that all our crew are indoors and safe, Sis and I will be outside, ready to intercept any signal or trouble.
Diana: We’re in Enies Lobby. It’s no question whether we’ll run into Straw Hats or not. But the question is Kara… do we let them go?
Me: If we don’t, then the Straw Hats won’t be able to meet Brook. Luffy won’t have a fight against Gecko Moria. If we send them to Impel Down now, there’s no guarantee that any of them would ever escape. After all, Luffy was breaking IN, not breaking OUT.

Diana: But do we have a good excuse for it though?
Me: I’ve got a general idea. But we won’t be doing much for most of the fight. But really, we came here to save lives. Luffy’s crew is important but not over the lives of thousands.
Sis just nodded at my words.
Diana: For Akainu and some others, this is the place of Absolute Justice while for us, this place is filled with Corruption and false Justice. Yet, the scale of this place keeps the World in Order. Preventing it from falling into Anarchy; for the sake of peace around the Blues, we can’t allow Enies Lobby to fall.
I nodded at her words as I activated my Second devil fruit. As I felt my body turn intangible, into pure energy, I started to pick up the electromagnetic waves from all over the island and beyond. Pretenses of everyone, Den-den mushi calls, jamming signals, everything; and from far away in the dark night…
Me: Sis…
With both my devil fruit and observation haki combined, I could make out a faint but unmistakable presence from all the way from Water 7. The roaring of a machine as the Rocket Man came to life.
Me: They’re coming.

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)

The New Buggy Pirates
As a fan of One Piece, I've never liked the way they handled Buggy. He's a great character and all, don't get me wrong, but he should be on the same level as Shanks. Instead, they turned him into the worthless character he is, and that never sat right with me. In this story, he becomes something more than just comic relief. AU. Strong!Buggy Intelligent!Buggy This story is also on fanfiction.net written by me under the same username: Tallictr. Credit for anything original that I added to the One Piece story goes to me. Credit for everything (characters, settings, etc.) goes to Eiichiro Oda. (He created One Piece)
