《Son of Nico Robin》Chapter 9 Regrouping
Advertisement
NO POV
The shipwrights were finally able to put out the fire and rescue anyone they could. Meanwhile Nami was explaining the whole situation to Chopper. He was beyond excited when he heard that Robin was lying to them about leaving the crew. He then saw Kai and Peaches.
Chopper: Hey Nami who is this?
Nami: Oh that's Kai, he's Robin's son.
Chopper's eyes expanded to the size of saucers.
Chopper: WHAT, ROBIN HAS A SON!
Kai: Long story, but for now lets go get my mom back.
Chopper: You're right, LETS DO THIS!
Chopper changed into his muscle form and let out a roar, in response Peaches turned into his gorilla form as well. The shipwrights were shocked, thinking that both creatures were now gorillas.
Iceberg: Hold on a minute.
Iceberg was now approaching the group.
Iceberg: Before you go, you should know that a government sea train will be departing at 11:00. There's a good chance that CP9 will be there along with Nico Robin. Because of Aqua Laguna this will be the last train to depart.
Nami: Wait, so you mean...
Iceberg: Because you won't be able to sail in this weather, this will be your only chance to rescue her.
Nami: What time is it right now?
Iceberg: Almost 10:30.
Nami: WHAT, that means we only have half an hour.
Kai: I can make it!
Kai sprouted his wings and took off, however Nami grabbed him before he got far. Kai fought against her grip but she wouldn't let go.
Chopper: HE HAS WINGS!?
Nami: Devil fruit powers, as so does the monkey.
Kai: Let me go!
Nami: Kai think about it, even if you made it what could you do. You're a kid, you can't take on highly trained government assassins.
Kai gave in and landed on the ground with a pout.
Kai: Okay then, what do we do?
Nami: Right now we have to find our other crew members, I'll lead you and Chopper to where they got sent flying.
As they all talked, Paulie was listening to them. As he sat back up, the other shipwrights became happy seeing that he has now recovered.
Paulie: Hey listen up! You see the girl, I want you to help her find her buddies.
The others started to argue with Paulie. Thinking that he went crazy for trying to help the people who tried to kill Iceberg.
Paulie: SHUT UP! They weren't the ones, they were only set up to look like it. If we weren't so blinded, then none of this would had happened. I don't know who those guys in the mask were, but the Strawhats fought them. If it weren't for them, me and Iceberg wouldn't even be alive. This is the least we can do for them.

Guy: Wait, is everything you told us true?
Paulie: SHUT UP AND GET MOVING, YOU'RE MAKING GALLEY LA LOOK BAD!
All of the men shut up and saluted him.
Everyone: Yes sir!
And so the search began. Dozens of yagura bulls were released as Galley La took to the streets. They split up into groups and yelled out for Luffy and Zoro. Meanwhile Kai took to the guy along with Peaches to get a birds eye view.
Kai POV
The winds got stronger as the rain came down harder. It was only a matter of time until this storm arrived, so we all had to hurry. I was able to search a wider area quicker thanks to my devil fruit powers. But even then it was difficult to find these guys, and time was running out. Unfortunately this storm only slowed me down.
We ended up in a deserted [art of town where everyone had evacuated. As we flew around Peaches started yipping and jerking on my head, trying to make me look in a certain direction.
Me: What is it Peaches?
When I gave in, I didn't see anything. However I took a closer look. Wedged between two buildings was a person. Who else could that be than one of the Strawhat pirates. So we flew closer and got a closer look. He had black hair, was skinny, and had a straw hat with him. This must be Luffy.
Me: Hey.
Luffy stopped struggling and looked up at me.
Luffy: Hey kid, do you think you can get me out of here?
Me: Peaches, see if you can help.
Peaches went down to where Luffy was and turned into his gorilla form. Luffy's eyes widened with amazement. Peaches tried to push the two buildings apart but wasn't strong enough. So I had him come back to me.
Me: Don't worry, I'll get Nami.
Luffy: Wait you know Nami?
I didn't respond as I took back off to go find help.
NO POV
Nami regrouped with Chopper along with Kokoro, Chimney, and Gonbe. Nami was filling in Chopper about how Sanji made it onto the train.
Chimney: Hey check it out, that boy is flying.
They all looked over and saw Kai approaching them quickly.
Kai: I found Luffy!
Nami: What, where is he?
Kai pointed to where Luffy was stuck, Nami had to narrow her eyes to see where he was. Without a second thought, Nami jumped down and started running towards him. People started yelling at her to come back but shouldn't listen. Some were about to go after her but Paulie stopped them. Kai grabbed Peaches and off his back and set him down on the ground.

Kai: Peaches you stay here, I'm going with her.
Peaches squealed in disapproval but that didn't stop Kai from leaving.
Kokoro: KID NOT YOU TOO, YOU CAN FLY BUT YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO BEAT THE WAVE!
So that just left Chopper all along with Peaches.
Chopper: Whelp looks like us animals got left out.
Peaches yelped in response. Chopper noticed something off in the distance, a familiar pair of legs. It was then he realized that those belonged to Zoro. Without a second thought, Chopper took off in his walking point with Peaches hanging on to his tail. So now both groups were racing to free their friends. Back with Kai, he had now managed to catch up with Nami.
Nami: Go back Kai, it isn't safe here.
Kai: You think you can free him, I can help.
Nami stopped running as she came to the edge of the building. There was no where else she could get to where Luffy was.
Nami: I can't go any further. Kai, do you think you can pull him out.
Kai: Sorry, not even Peaches was able to free him in Gorilla form.
Nami was panting after all the running she just did. Flashbacks of Lucci defeating Luffy started coming back. Then, Nami realized there was one thing she could do.
Nami: LUUUUFFFFFFFY! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?
Luffy: Nami, where are you I can't see? It's not my fault, that pidgin bastard sent me flying and I landed between these two buildings. I'm trying to get out of here.
Nami: IS THIS A JOKE TO YOU? ROBIN WAS TAKEN AWAY BY THE GOVERNMENT AND YOU WEREN'T EVEN THERE TO HELP! SHE'S DOING THIS ALL FOR US, SHE SACRIFICED HERSELF! THEY WERE PLANNING ON ATTACKING US, SO ROBIN TURNED HERSELF OVER TO CP9 SO WE WOULD BE SAFE!
Luffy: So Robin didn't betray us...I'm so glad.
Luffy was now becoming more angry.
Luffy: Don't worry, I won't let Robin die.
A massive wave appeared from the ocean. One that towered well over the lower parts of Water 7. The shipwrights started yelling at everyone to come back. Meanwhile Chopper and Peaches (in gorilla form) tried to free Zoro from the chimney. Despite their efforts, he wouldn't come out.
Chopper: How did you even get stuck here in the first place?
Zoro: Shut up, just get me out!
Peaches started yelling and pointed at the sea. Chopper got a good view of the incoming tsunami. Zoro then felt something, it was his kitetsu blade. Back with Nami and Kai their eyes widened as the wave got closer to them.
Nami: Kai get out of here now!
Kai: You're the one who needs to leave, I can fly!
Meanwhile with Luffy his anger only continued to grow. That anger then turned into strength. Giving everything he had, he managed to destroy the two buildings and finally free himself. With Zoro he used kitetsu to slice apart the chimney. It was at that moment the wave struck.
Luffy shot his arm forward and grabbed onto a tower as he used his other arm to grab onto Nami and then shot them into the air. Kai quickly followed behind them. Chopper ate a rumble ball and turned into his jumping point and grabbed peaches(back in monkey form) and Zoro and leaped to safety.
Luffy and Nami landed on a building just as the wav crashed into it. Luffy quickly jumped onto a nearby building as the other one was being washed away. From there he managed to make it back to the bridge just as Kai along with Chopper and the others arrived. They all fell to the ground, exhausted.
Kai: I'm starting to hate flying.
Zoro: Why is there a monkey in a hat?
Unfortunately it wasn't over as the wave proved to be more powerful. Just as they were about to run the wave engulfed them. Everyone thought it was over for the group luckily Paulie was quick on his feet. He used his rope to grab onto everyone and used all of his strength to pull them back up. From there it was a mad dash to make it to the top, with Kai flying with Peaches in his arms. They all made it back up as the stairs were destroyed.
Everyone lied on the ground, resting after finally getting away from death's hand.
Paulie: You idiots, don't do that again.
Zoro had trouble pulling a frozen Chopper off his face.
Zoro: You little turd you trying to kill me?
Luffy: Hey Zoro, why couldn't you get out?
Zoro: Well you see...
Chopper: Zoro got stuck in a chimney.
Zoro started to choke Chopper as Luffy was laughing hysterically.
Luffy: YOU GOT STUCK IN A CHIMNEY, HOW LAME! I couldn't do something that lame even if I tried.
Nami quickly ran over to them and punched his face.
Nami: THE SAME THING JUST HAPPENED TO YOU!
Luffy: By the way, who are they.
Luffy was gesturing over to Kai and Peaches.
Nami: Well...
Chopper: The monkey is Peaches and the boy is Kai. He's Robin's son.
Luffy+Zoro: WAIT WHAT!

Maker of Fire
On a world where magic kept civilization firmly in the bronze age, the Gods dropped an accountant and a mining engineer to start a political and industrial revolution. They wanted enlightened governance and a fast track to the iron age. They got indoor plumbing, paper airplanes, a cranky queen, and one very grumpy prophet. Dramatis Personae Aylem was a bookkeeping student when she died. The Gods reincarnated her as the greatest mage ever known, born into the ruling class of gigantic, magic-wielding humans. The Gods expect her to conquer the world and introduce double-entry accounting. Though Queen and numerical reformer, world conquest is stalled because everyone is scared of her and she doesn't like war. Emily was a retired engineer when she died. The Gods reincarnated her as one of the enslaved class of small, magicless humans. The Gods expect her to drag the world out of the bronze age. Though she's already recreated matches and wrought iron, introducing technology isn't going well because she was born a slave (oops) and having escaped, wants nothing to do with so-called "civilization." Asgotl was a whale when he died. The Gods reincarnated him as a griffin and expect him to have the same role he played in his previous life: to keep a reluctant prophet from walking off the job. If only they had remembered to tell him about it. Revised update schedule will be once a week on Saturdays, noonish Mountain Time (in North America)

Earth's First Dungeon
Reginald Montgomery was a high class Rules Lawyer, specializing in the 'art' of Min-Maxing a Character. He had been the secret behind the ability of the Guild 'Eternal Gamer' being able to obtain the World First Clears of various MMOs for the last five years. The political entities of the world had hidden the imminent approach of a gigantic meteor, of similar size to the one that theoretically wiped out the dinosaurs, until it was able to be spotted by high powered astronomical telescopes. The United Nations sends nukes into a crater located deep on the meteor, breaking it into millions of smaller fragments, except for around two areas, where there was a building that looked like an old school Roman temple and one where there was a giant metallic cube. The cube crashed into Reginald's backyard, and his 'gamer' senses were itching at the chance of supremely valuable loot. Upon investigating, he is injected with a control crystal for a 'Construction Core', but when it releases an extremely high density of pressurized mana, his body seizes up and the Core draws his mind into it before merging the control crystal back into the Core and retreating into the Cube and digging itself deeper. Two months later, Reginald becomes aware again, only to find out that nothing is as it was and he is now the Earth's First Dungeon...
