Luffy breathed deeply as he looked over the form of his beaten enemy. “What a weird guy. Wish he’d kept the clouds though.” Luffy rubbed his stomach with a hoof. “Fighting makes me hungry.” Before Luffy could ponder his meal options, a bright light appeared by him. “Huh?”
Out of the light stepped six familiar ponies. But now they had on necklaces and Twilight had a tiara on. “Princess!” Twilight called out. “We came as soon as we saw th- huh?!” Twilight looked over the bizarre scene in front of her. “What… what in Equestria happened? Luffy, why are you here? Where’s the Princess? Why is Discord beaten to a pulp?!”
“Yeah!” Dash exclaimed. “That was supposed to be our job.”
“Oh.” Luffy nonchalantly looked at the ponies and smiled. “He was being a jerk so I beat him up.”
A few of the hairs on Twilight’s head went crooked. “You did what?! But he’s the god of chaos! He’s an all-powerful entity based on a primordial force of the universe!”
“Um, I didn’t get most that, but it’s not like beating up gods in new to me,” Luffy replied while picking his nose.
“How can you act that calm? For crying out loud, he’s Discord! One of the most evil forces to ever threaten Equestria!”
Pinkie happily bounced around doing a victory dance. “Oh don’t get so mad Twilight. We didn’t even need to use the Elements this time. But now we’ll have to have an even bigger party!”
“I’m up for that.” Luffy’s tongue wagged like a dog’s. “He may have been a jerk, but he was a tough jerk. It took a lot to knock him out.”
“Um girls.” Rarity trotted forward. “Perhaps we are speaking a little too soon.”
Everypony now noticed Discord slowly trying to crawl away with a single paw. “Damn pirates. So unpredictable, that’s my job! Ugh, I’ll never bother with them again! I’ll just have my own kingdom here and…” He noticed the six Element bearers blocking his path. “Of course you’d be here. Can I just wave a flag for now?” Discord weakly waved a white flag.
“Blast him!” Fluttershy yelled. All six piece of jewelry glowed and unleashed a rainbow beam on Discord. In a flash, he was back to being a statue.
Stars of wonder had replaced Luffy’s eyes. “So cool!” He ran up and looked at the statue and then at the girls. “That was awesome! What was that?”
“Elements of Harmony, dear,” Rarity explained. “They’re special weapons we have to use against threats to Equestria. They also make quite nice jewelry on their own.” She twiddled the diamond shaped jewel around her neck.
“Neat! Where can I get one?”
“There’s only six,” Twilight said. “I'm not even sure if they’d work with other ponies. Hmm, guess it would possible for other ponies possessing the proper virtues to use them.” Twilight slapped herself across the face. “What am I saying?! You need to explain what happened. Discord doesn’t just break out of his prison on a weekly basis! Also, where is Princess Celestia? I feel she could explain things much more clearly.”
“I am right here… my faithful student.” Celestia seemingly came out of nowhere with a depressed expression on her face. “There is much to discuss.” She glared at Luffy.
He glared back at her. “You still wanna fight? I may be hungry, but I’ll take you.” A little bit of steam came out of Luffy’s nose.
The other ponies’ jaws dropped at this. Celestia gritted her teeth. “No, as much as I hate to say this, I am in your debt. Had it not been for you, I am not sure what would have happened to my sister.”
Luffy dropped his battle position. “Oh yeah, is she okay?”
Celestia blinked. “I don’t know why a pirate would ever care, but yes, she will be fine. That spell was only meant to temporarily bind beings with my level of power.” She looked at the six mares. “Only the Elements have the power to permanently imprison such powerful beings.”
Twilight nervously trotted up to Celestia. “Princess, could you please tell us what’s going on?”
Celestia had a look of pure stress on her face, but then she relented on closed her eyes. “Yes, Twilight, I deserve to tell you the truth. Your ability to still use the Elements has proven me wrong.” She paused again. “I’m sorry my little ponies, I’ve lied to you.”
“What do ya mean?” Applejack asked.
“I shall tell you from the beginning.” Celestia looked up at the stars. “Allow me to bring light to both the world and your questions.” She closed her eyes and then the dawn came. “To start, we must go back six hundred years to a time when chaos ruled the land.”
Author notes. I know it's taken a while to update. Just wanted to put this up to show that I'm still working on it Next chapter will be a flashback (what One Piece story doesn't have a tragic flashback?) Once everything is explained I'll also be putting up a bonus chapter. Sorry again for the wait.
