《Reality Check (One Piece Fan-Fiction)》Chapter XVIII: A "Simple" Gift

Lyon POV
I blew a puff of smoke out as I watched the sun raise from up in the crows nest, it was rather a peaceful scenery for me. I sat down & closed my eyes & let the sun shine on my body, I chuckle to myself & cross my legs but my eyes opened when I felt something land on my leg. I open my eyes & saw that it was the seagull with the newspaper
"Why hello there." I flipped him a coin, he saluted & flew away, I chuckled at that. I set my cigar on my lips & read through the newspaper, nothing to important in my case. A few new pirates here & there, things getting destroyed, people dying... the usual. One seemed to have caught my eye though, 4 new pirates
The Mysterious Electriess: 735.000.000
Dark Mistress Kiruko: 540.000.000
The Shadow Reaper: 650.000.000
The Unknown Monster Tamer: 730.000.000
They seemed to have appeared a few years ago but weren't exactly a big threat, but now they are. The Unknown is a Shichibukai that doesn't talk, reminds me of when I was younger, in the papers it says that there's a theory that a few of them lost a few limbs &/or maybe an eye... just a theory. I take a closer look & it was the four of them together, they looked awfully familiar as well, I go to take a closer look when--
"Argh, fuck!!" I accidentally got a little to close & I... set the newspaper on fire, I throw to the ground & start stepping on it to make it go out, I was successful but I destroyed it completely. I groan to myself before putting my cigar out & coming down from the crows nest

"There you are Leo-yoi." I waved "Whats up?"
"Nothing to important." he raised an eyebrow
"Where did does ashes come from?" Thatch asked as he wiped them off my face, I waved my hand limply before wiping the ashes off
"Don't worry about it."
"Are you sure?" I thought for a bit before nodding "Alright, hope you have a good morning chief-yoi." Marco said as he ruffled my head, which I grinned at him
"& here are your french toast my good man." my grin increased
"Thank you." I took it from him & go to my room, I was greeted here & there & in return I smiled & greeted them back. Thanks to Nami & Nojiko, & a tiny bit of Luffy, I've gained so much confidence from what they told. I just gotta be myself & not care what others say, its their own opinion
I kick open my door before kicking it close after I walked into my room, I sat down on my wheely chair (Swivel chair but I don't care) before spinning over to my desk. I set the plate down & noticed a range of different wanted posters, some of them were old while a few others looked pretty new
Everyone was pretty shocked to hear that I was Commander of the 2nd Division but since I didn't want to be a commander (thinks its to much work), I became Second in Command, right after pops. Even though Marco was like the Commander of the 1st Division, he's all goods though, saying that I'm way stronger then him
"Hmm, maybe I should talk to Luffy. Haven't talked to him in awhile." I was thinking for awhile before shrugging & grabbing the transponder snail & dialing in the number to the snail I gavee to Makino to give to Luffy, hopefully he didn't lost it... or eat it

"Dadan! That's mine! Give it back!" I chuckle quietly when I heard Luffy's voice in the distance, I've called him a couple times & told me that his grandfather took him from the village & gave him to mountain bandits, I wasn't to thrilled but he told me these were different bandits... I still wasn't thrilled
"Is this who you've been talking to this whole time Luffy?!"
"Yes, now give it back to me! Its really important!"
"Hey!" I put a piece of french toast in my mouth when I heard him run away from this "Dadan" person "Where did you go?!"
"I think I lost her, is that you Leo?"
"Mm hmm, how have you been Luffy?"
"Happy!" I carried on eating my food as Luffy told me whats been going on with him, I got a little shocked when I heard that every time he chased after this "Ace" kid he either gets hurt or almost dies
"That doesn't sound great but, are you okay?"
"I'm great! Oh oh! & I think I came up with a jolly roger for my crew!"
"Oh yeah, what is it?"
"A skull, with a straw hat & a scar under its left eye! Like me!" I raise an eyebrow at that, I kinda got an idea as I look at an old newspaper article that was lying next to the wanted posters "U-Uh Leo? You still there?"
"Luffy, what are your favorite colors?"
"Hmm, red!"
"Hopefully that Dadan lady will show you this in the newspaper, Luffy."
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
"You'll see, talk to you later, Luffy."
"Okay, bye bye!"
*ca-cha*
I push back on my chair & grab the newspaper before walking out with my plate, bow & arrows & my hat with my sunglasses. I walk into the kitchen & set the plate there before walking out, I was on the deck & was stretching my legs when I felt a hand on my shoulder
"Where are you going, Leo?" it was Sil
"Its a surprise, read this & you might get it." was all I said before flying off, I was just a little far away when I saw that Sil's eyes widened & he screamed out
"WHAT?!" I laughed at that
Third Person POV
Here we are back on Dawn Island, the sun is shining, birds are singing, a perfect day for a walk in the woods... nah! Luffy (& Ace) woke up when they heard Dadan screaming, they both tiredly walked into the room where she was & saw that she was screaming at the newspaper
"Whats the matter Dadan?" Luffy asked
"Whats the matter?! Look at this!!" she screamed at him & showed what the headline was
"Um... I can't read." she face palmed, both him & Ace looked at the picture & his eyes widened with a smile when he saw that his jolly roger... was on the walls of Marineford with Leo in the corner making a peace sign with a large grin (he was wearing his sunglasses as well) "Its Leo!"
"Leo?"
"My "non biological" brother? Is that the word?"
"What a sec! You mean to tell me, you know Virus Archer Lyon?! & he's somehow your non biological brother?!" Luffy thought for a second before grinning & nodding, Dadan fainted while Ace stared at him with disbelief. Luffy looked at the newspaper again & saw his (Luffy's) name in the corner of it
"He is so nice."

8 210The Cataclysm
A story of multiple people and their adventures across the southeast of the United States, specifically Georgia. In a world where technology has stopped working and the laws of physics have rewritten itself, the "heroes" of this story must find a way to survive what has succumbed to their world. We follow many characters and see them develop within a year of discourse, love, sorrow, and even mayhem. Ariel struggles with morality and leadership. Erik only sees his way as the best and brightest options. Luis struggles with faith. This is only a fraction of what the world has to offer.
8 141A little bit of Villainy
Our world has become an apocalyptic wasteland where the only law is that of the strongest. In this nightmare, a band heroes rise up to save the remnants of humanity from itself.They build a great city to shelter the weak, only for the city (and all its inhabitants) to get blown to pieces by what many would call a villain. All the heroes die in the explosion but the goddesses of light and order transport their souls to a fantasy universe where they need to vanquish the demons and save humanity. The heroes succeed and 'peace' returns. These acts left the goddess of Chaos dying and as you all know desperate times call for desperate measures. "The only thing that can defeat a hero is a villain and luckily I know where to find one, one that has already killed them once." , -The goddess of chaos The Villain that once bested the heroes gets revived as a Dracolich, an undead dragon of great power, and brings with him a storm a Chaos and Fun. "I can't really say I won against them in our last life since we all ended dying in that explosion, but this time I'm gonna win our fun little rematch."- Villain This story is about a Villain who just wants to have a good time and maybe create a little mayhem. Note: I know I tagged this story with an anti-hero lead tag, but that is only because there is no tag called villain lead.
