《Reality Check (One Piece Fan-Fiction)》Chapter XXVIII: A Metal Prosthetic
Advertisement
Third Person POV
Ever since Leo woke up everyone had been visiting him nonstop with gifts, food & other stuff to cheer him up. Pops would be the one to stay with him the longest so when he does Leo would tell him every little secret about him, & in the end pops would be able to sooth & calm him down. Right now, Leo was asleep & the crew were trying to figure out how to help him out a little bit more
"We need to find someone who can build arms." Haruta said
"That's not the right term-yoi, we need to find someone to build a prosthetic limb for him."
"How about a metal prosthetic?" Jozu suggested, everyone looked at him "It wouldn't just give him the opportunity to use two arms again, but it would make his punches a lot more stronger then before."
"..."
"What? Did I say something wrong?" he asked
"You might be on to something, Jozu." Marco had left but came back with a map & his log pose "It seems we're incoming on a island that is known for people being the greatest builders, designers, inventors etc-yoi."
"What a coincidence." they nodded
"All we need to do if find someone who builds prosthetic limbs--"
"But don't we need to know how long Leo's arms are?" they all look at each other before face palming
"Yes we do! But we should do it now while he's asleep." they nodded, they were at the infirmary where they kicked Haruta inside. He looked back at them & they gestured for him to carry on, he sighed while shaking his head
"Why me?"
"Your the shortest...!" he glared at them, he was able to get his right measurements but was almost caught when Leo started moving, so he held his breath
'Please don't wake up, please don't wake up, please don't wake up.' he repeatedly said in his head, once he was done he dashed out "That was so close." soon enough Whitebeard came walking by

"Why didn't you just grab his coat then estimate how long his hand is? That would've been much easier."
"Damn, that's also a logical reason... why didn't we do that?!" Haruta yelled
"It was funny watching you try." he then kicked Thatch's ankle, for he was the one who said it
"You guys are mean!" they laughed while Thatch clutched until his ankle yelling uncle but went silent when they heard groan in the infirmary "We should shut up..."
"Yep."
(Time Skip)
The team that left consisted of Thatch, Izo, Marco & Haruta. They asked a few of the civilians that lived on the island who built what they were looking for, some answered with a no while some were just not bothered, that made them get a little frustrated, well, mostly Marco
"Goddammit these people are so uncooperative with us-yoi!" Izo rolled his eyes
"Excuse me miss, do you know anyone who makes prosthetic limbs?" she raised an eyebrow before nodding her head
"Oh yes I do, your gonna have to see Mr Dimitri for that!" she pointed in a direction this person was & they all went there, they were presented with a shop that had a sign that said "Mechanic" on it
"Seriously?" they all groan & enter the shop, a man with green hair had looked up from what he was doing before approaching them with a smile
"Hello there sirs! My name is Dimitri, how can I help you?" he had somewhat of a friendly smile but looked a little creepy when he was holding a blow torch in his hand, which was still on. He seemed to have noticed so he quickly laughed it off & apologized
"Uh, we were wondering if you were able to help us with something-yoi."
"& that would be?"
"Can you build a prosthetic metal arm?" he scratched his head
"Hmm, I've built many things that hasn't included a metal arm but, it shouldn't be that hard. Alright, I need measurements then."

"Here you go!" Haruta said as he handed Dimitri a sheet of paper that had measurements on them, he nodded to himself & put the paper in his pocket
"Any type of design?" they look at each other before shrugging, he sighed "Okay, time to go nuts." he muttered to himself before flipping his full face mask down to cover his face & walked away
"I wonder how to arm is going to come out..." Thatch muttered "Hopefully is doesn't look to, weird or anything." they nodded, they walked outside & went back to the ship since Dimitri told them it was actually going to take at least a day or so... so after 2 days they came back
"I'm kinda excited to see it." Izo said
"True, so am I!' Haruta agreed as they all walked in
"Oh, your finally back!" Dimitri said "Come come, I just finished it!" they came over & they awed at the arm "Its made out of a strong yet light metal named beryllium, very hard to find & very rare as well!"
"That is amazing! & you said that you've never built an arm before?" Thatch asked, Dimitri shook his head as he took his gloves off
"Nope, it was a little difficult but I got it done. oh! I also had a little bit of beryllium left so I kinda built something else as well." he ran back into his work shop & came back with a weapon, a battle axe
"What the hell?! That is totally rad!" both Haruta & Thatch exclaimed while Izo & Thatch picked it up, he was right, it was light but once you swing it around, it felt strong & powerful
"Thank you, its also free of charge!"
"Are you serious?!" he nodded with a smile
"Of course. I love helping pirates, plus the blade also retracts into the staff & it also goes a little small as well so you can just clip it to your belt & it wouldn't be to much trouble to hold!"
"Why. uh-- thank you-yoi!" he nodded
"It was no problem."
Lyon POV
"Whats the matter with you guys? You've been acting secretive for a couple days." I asked, they all (well not all) gathered in the infirmary & March, Thatch, Izo & Haruta were hiding something behind their backs "Especially you four."
"Well, we have a surprise for you." I raise an eyebrow
"Surprise? I'm surprised Marco hasn't told me yet." everyone covered their mouths to cry & not laugh while he gave me this look "Well its true." he was going to say something but Thatch covered his mouth
"Well, we've noticed that you haven't been feeling like yourself lately."
"Yah think? I only have one arm."
"W-Well, not anymore!" I was going to question them until they presented an arm to me, I take it from them & just stare at it
"You... made this, for me...?"
"Not us, he did!" I look over & a man with green hair was standing at the door way with a calm smile, he waved at me
"The name's Dimitri, I guess I'll be staying here cause I'm the only one that'll be able to fix that arm for you if it ever gets busted, plus... I made & designed it." I look back down at it & felt my lip quiver a bit
"Not only that, he also built this." it was just a small stick until it extended into a battle axe "Blamenco told us that he's been teaching you how to use his hammer a bit so... what should be the difference with this?" it retracted into a little stick again again & I started crying while laughing
"W-Whats the matter...?!" I wipe away a few tears but they just appear instantly
"You guys... you guys spoil me rotten." they laughed & all gave me a hug, I felt something ruffle my head & immediately knew it was pops
"You should always expect that Leo." I chuckle a little
"Yeah... yeah I guess I should."

The Ruins of Magincia
They say all things end in time, but the exalted City of Magi would’ve begged to differ. Yet when an attempted coup goes wrong, the city finds itself brought to the very brink of destruction. In the wake of the calamity that left no survivors, the autonomous infrastructure still operating the ruined city seeks to restore what was lost. Luckily for it, the Mana-devoid Universe it awoke in holds an unexpected surprise: a planet full of sentient life forms. All capable—with a little help—to become the next generation of Magi. Back on Earth, Millie McArthur is a pregnant out-of-work mechanic struggling with the prospect of moving back in with her parents after leaving her unfaithful fiancé. That is until she finds herself just one of the hundreds that have been shanghaied by the callous artificial constructs still manning the ruins of Magincia. Now, she must struggle to learn magic, compete for resources, get good 'grades,' and fulfill the seemingly arbitrary requirements for her future job in this broken city. All while keeping herself, and her son, alive. Is the miracle of magic really enough to make up for all the pain? The Ruins of Magincia is a dark fantasy that's heavy on the drama (LitRPG aspects are very light). Chapter lengths can be anywhere from 7k-12k and there's no current release schedule as I'm focusing on wrapping up volume one.
