《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."

Gateway
An archaeologist by the name of Søren Quinn wakes up elsewhere after boarding a plane for Iceland. Now he has to come to terms with a significant loss of recent memory and his apparent death and rebirth, provided he can survive the rigors of the Tutorial on Gateway Station and whatever waits for him after the Tutorial. Updates. When I can... sorry. Author's Note. Gateway is a portal/isekai style GameLit novel, but it has two main lead characters and will eventually have a small cast of minor lead characters to support them. There will be small elements of base building / kingdom management added as well over time, but they will not be the focus. Gateway really is a slow burn that takes some time to get going unfortunately, but I hope you find it's worth the wait. Thank you! p.s. Book One is finally done (only needed one more chapter unfortunately...) but I'm off hiatus now and will be starting on Book Two right away!
