//------------------------------// // Captain Morgan's Final Assault on Shells Town! // Story: My Little Pony: Pirates of the New World! // by MarlonCalpe4000 //------------------------------// Marine Base Prison Compound of Shells Town "Hey!" Luffy waved at Zoro as he walks by the prisoner Zoro with Pinkie following behind and everypony else. "You again..." Zoro sighs as he saw this straw hat kid approached him with his colorful band of misfits. "If this is about me joining your pirate crew, My answer is still no!!" Zoro yelled but Luffy just flat out ignored him. "Call me Luffy! I'll untie you if you'll join my pirate crew okay?!" "You don't listen boy!" Zoro insisted giving a stern glare at Luffy but he knows that its not going to do anything to him. "Awww come on Zoro! It will be fun! We're gonna have parties, music and games! Oh and did I say that there's going to be food? Cause I know there is!" Pinkie said as she bounced around Zoro which the moss haired swordsman found annoying. "Listen here.. What was your name..? Pinkie...? Ugh... Listen Pinkie... These big parties? They're not really my thing" Zoro said trying to look away from the pink party mare, not even questioning at this point where she gets that pink party cannon that she gets to play around. "Ive got my own mission... And it doesn't involve with becoming a stinking pirate!" "Your too good to be a pirate?" Luffy asked looking at the tied up Zoro with a straight face. "You, a bounty hunter? Who everyone thinks is some sort of demon?" "Luffy"s right Zoro! Your now a wanted man and everyone's going to go after you soon enough!" Twilight said trying to reason with him. "TWILIGHT!!" Zoro yelled causing the purple alicorn to go silent as well as everypony else. "You too Luffy..." "I don't care what other people think. I live by my own code... I've never done anything I regret and I don't intend to in the future. Which is why I'll never be a pirate!!!" Zoro yelled so loud that his voiced echoed all throughout the prison compound silencing Twilight, Spike and everypony else while Luffy just stands there and look at him. "I heard that you can use a sword!" Luffy said as he quickly changes the subject. "Hmph! If I wasn't tied up, I'd show you!" Zoro said as Luffy waves his hand at his pony friends, motioning for them to follow. "Sorry but I've made up my mind! Your gonna join my crew!!" "I don't care what you've decided!!" Zoro yelled in a straight up comedic fashion, his face turning into a chibi. "We'll too bad because there's no changing the captain's decision once its made!" Rainbow said with a smirk. "Don't you worry cause we'll be getting you out here in no time at all!!" Pinkie said as she bounced off. "Yep, There's no stopping him once he makes up his mind Sugarcube. Believe me... We've tried..." Applejack said with a shrug. "So where are your swords now?" Luffy asked crossing his arms over his chest. "They took em from me. The Captain's idiot son... Next to my life, Those swords are my treasures. "Hmmm... Treasures, huh? To bad they took em..." Luffy said as he ponders for a little while before coming up with his ultimate decision. "I know! I'll get your swords from the Idiot Son!!" "Wait What?!" Zoro asked. "Then if you want your swords back... You'll have to join my crew! Hahaha!" Luffy laughs as he runs off with Spike and his pony friends out of the prison compound. "YOU LITTLE RATS!!" Zoro called out from the cross he was tied in, thinking this idea was outright insane. "See ya soon!" Luffy said waving goodbye with everypony else following suit. "And I'll be seeing you...! Later...!" Pinkie grinned as she stretches just like Luffy and boops Zoro on the nose which irritated him. "They're going into the fortress... Those are one set of dumb pirates!" Zoro sighs. "Okay! Steady! Stand it up!" The Marine delegating the construction of Captain Morgan's statue delegates the rising of the statue properly lest they would be dead meat while Helmeppo runs to tattle to his father who was drinking some sake and enjoying his sushi platter. "Father!! Why aren't you hitting the brigand who hit me?! Even you never laid hands on my lovely yet masculine face before!" Helmeppo asks as his father turned to him and the marines got nervous seeing how he broke the two chopsticks with his axe with one hit. "Do you know why I never hit you?" Captain Morgan asked as he faced his son, breaking the shot glass in his hand with only sheer strength. "I'll tell you why..." His father said as he looked into his son's eyes like he wants to torture his own son, burning skulls and crossbones on his left eye. "Because I'm your beloved..." Helmeppo was cut off when Captain Morgan breaks the sake shot glass on his head and hits him with the back of his axe sending him to fly into the air and injuring more of his face. "WHAM!!!" "Its because your an Idiot Son who's not even worth hitting!!" Captain Morgan yelled as he pierced his son on the lips with his burning cigar as Helmeppo tries not to scream in pain, intend on taking the burning irritation from his father's cigar ashes. "Why should I fight your battles for you? Your big enough to wipe your own bottom... I don't mind if you use my status... But I only lay hands on people who defy me!!!" Captain Morgan finished by wiping the blood from the back of his giant axe. "Don't fool yourself... You are not the great one! I am great!! I am the great one!!!" Captain Morgan finished by body slamming Helmeppo one more time but stop at the last second when he was about to slice his son's head off with his attached weapon. "I was Silver Axe!!! Fucking part of the Rocks Pirates under Rocks D. Xebec who was prominent before Gol D. Roger came into power!!! Don't you dunderheads ever forget it!!!" Captain Morgan said as he picked up his son looked into Helmeppo's eyes with pure rage and anger, intending to crush his son's skull with his bare hand before slamming him one more time into the hard and hot concrete huffing and puffing as the marines stands there, afraid and shaking their knees in the corner, sweating already like the floor was lava at this big revelation. "I head a little mouse snuck into my parade ground." Captain Morgan said as he was about to walk away and continue enjoying his sake and sushi platter which no marine dared to get a bite of. "The little girl? I dealt with her. I..." "So you killed her." Captain Morgan said cutting off his son. "What?! No... I Uh... She was just a little girl and I... She didn't even know what she was doing..." Helmeppo said trying to explain to his father, afraid that he might go on a all out rampage. "You! Find her and kill her!" Captain Morgan as he points at Lieutenant Commander Ripper. "Huh?!" "Child or not, Anyone who defies me must suffer the penalty!" "But Captain, She's just a little girl... I wouldn't obey such a cruel order!" Commander Ripper said, intending to fight for what's right and defy Captain Morgan, the man sweating like crazy. "Oh wouldn't you? You are a Lieutenant in the Navy aren't you? And I... A captain... Am your superior officer, Am I not?" Captain Morgan said about to swing his giant axe at him and stain the floor with more blood. "Uh... Yes sir..." "Then you are duty bound to obey me!! If I say kill her then you will kill her!!" Captain Morgan said, now getting into Commander Ripper's face. "I... I won't murder a little girl!!" Lieutenant Command Ripper countered back, defiant to his captain and sticking his own morals to the very end. "MUTINY!!!" Captain Morgan yelled as he slices Commander Ripper in an instant as blood gushes out of the Lieutenant's chest like a broken dam. "You didn't have to kill him!!" Helmeppo exclaimed with a loud gasp his legs shaking like a rattlesnake's tail for he was truly afraid now. "Lieutenant!!" The marines quickly gather around their fallen comrade to see if he was still breathing and conscious as more blood drips down his fallen body. "No matter. The townsfolk must be taught respect. I'll handle it personally" Captain Morgan said as he kept swinging his axe hand around scattering the blood all over the marines that were lucky to still be alive. "For years after being a pirate in hiding I labored to achieve this rank and, I did it with my own strength... At great personal cost! Rank means everything in this world, Remember that! My rank is the highest on this base... Which makes me superior to everyone else here... Which makes me superior to everyone else here..." Captain Morgan exclaimed as he wipes his axe hand with a clean white cloth. "That means everything I do is right!!!" Captain Morgan said as he approaches each and every marine giving them the stink eye. "Is that clear?" "Yes sir!!!" All of the marines yelled in unison at these words and quickly gives him a salute. "You are the greatest sir!" "It took years to built but today it is finally complete. This is a monument to my rank and power!!! Raise my statue! Put it at the highest point of this fortress as a symbol of my greatness!!" Captain Morgan declared as he decided to delegate the raising of the stone statue carefully being held up by ropes. "That's funny... There aren't any sailors around..." Luffy said as he looks around the empty marine base with the rest of the Mane 6. "Maybe they're having a meeting or something..." "They must be having a snack. Ooh I can't wait to taste what Marine food is like!" Pinkie said as she bounced around in place. "No one to help me find Zoro's swords... Or the Idiot Son..." "Don't you worry Captain! I'll infiltrate the whole base for you in ten seconds flat!" Rainbow Dash as she spins and twirls around Luffy leaving behind a rainbow trail. "Alright! Thanks Rainbow Dash! I'll be counting on you then" Luffy said as "Heave!!! Heave!!!" The Marines struggled to lift the statue of Captain Morgan with the heavy ropes as Rainbow Dash observed when... "Klunk!!!" "What was that?! Did you just bump it?!" Captain Morgan asked as he glared at the marine who just wet his pants once he saw the Captain's axe gleaming in the hot sun. "Sorry sir! We were careless sir!!" The marine apologized as he quickly got back to work. "Huh? I think I hear voices up there!" Luffy said as he put a hand on his hat looking over the enormous fortress just as Rainbow quickly jets down to make her report. "Captain I saw a statue being lifted up over there! All the troops have been assembled for that specific construction sir!" Rainbow said with a salute surprising Twilight and her friends seeing how Rainbow was now taking this seriously. "Alright! Thanks Rainbow Dash! I think I heard voices up there before you came down" Luffy said as he picks up Pinkie and puts her on his back. "Come on Pinkie, Lets check it out!" "Hehehe sure thing Luffy! Lets get this party started!" Pinkie said with an excited tone as Luffy stretches an arm to grab unto a cannon and quickly pushes himself with a bit too much force. "Gum Gum... ...Rocket!!!" "I've got your back Captain!! Here I go!!!" Rainbow said as she flies off after Luffy and Pinkie, leaving behind a rainboom in the ground that left behind a small crater. "Luffy wait!!!" Twilight called out as the purple alicorn flies off after Luffy with Applejack on her back while Fluttershy reluctantly to the top of the Marine Base as Rarity gets on her back. "Swine!" Captain Morgan's blood starts to boil from under his skin. Irritation popping out of his head as the captain faces this fodder marine like he was about to outright murder him on the spot. "Do you know how long I've waited for this statue to be finished?! And you've already scratched it!!" "Sorry sir! I'll pay to have it fixed!" The marine said as he starts trembling upon facing Captain Morgan's wrath and his silver axe that still smells blood. "This statue is like my person!" Captain Morgan said as he was about to swing his silver axe on this poor fodder marine. "Scratching it is the same as scratching me!" "Let this be a warning to all!" Captain Morgan yelled as the fodder marine crossed his arms over his face, getting ready for his inevitable fate. "Whoa! I over shot!" Luffy exclaimed as he was about to fall down but he quickly grabbed unto one of the ropes that was used to support Captain Morgan's statue as it was being lifted up. "Got it!!" "Huh?! What's that?!" The marines asked among each other as the enormous statue of Captain Morgan looses its balance from the marines holding unto the supporting ropes and causing it to snap due to the force of Luffy's Gum Gum Rocket. "We're flying! Hehehe this is so much fun!" Pinkie giggled as she held unto Luffy's shoulder as they she braced herself for impact, the winds causing her cheeks to flap a little. "CRACK..!!! CRASH!!!" "Whaa?!!!" All the marines just felt their jaw dropped to the ground and their eyes bulging out of their eye sockets in a crazy manner waving around in all kinds of directions along with their eyebrows and tounge spreading saliva and sweating from their foreheads so much that it formed puddles especially Captain Morgan and Helmeppo. "Timber!!!" Pinkie called out loud as she jumped off Luffy and body slams the upper half of Captain Morgan's statue on the floor using her tremendous earth pony strength. "Hey! I wanna have some fun too hehehe!" Rainbow smirked as she zooms in and throws the lower half of the broken statue down below almost hitting Fluttershy who carried Applejack. "Hehehe sorry about that you guys." Rainbow said as Fluttershy flies up with Applejack on her back giving the rainbow pegasus disapproving looks. "Alright!! Good one Dashie!!" Pinkie said as the cotton candy mare gives Rainbow Dash a hoof bump. "Rainbow! Pinkie! Stop that right now this instant!" Twilight said as she trots over to Rainbow and Pinkie to give them a scolding like a mother. "Luffy stop encouraging them! I know that we are pirates but at this rate you'll take it to far!" "Hahaha! You guys are the best!" Luffy said as he starts dancing round and round with his legs up with Pinkie and Rainbow in merriment, ignoring Twilight's warnings. "Luffy, Rainbow, Pinkie I want you to say sorry right now!" Twilight said but then she was stopped at the last second by Applejack. "I think It might be a bit too late for that Sugarcube" "Wow... Umm... Sorry" Luffy said with an apologetic tone as he put a hand up. "ROAR!!! Seize him! I'll have his heart!!!" Captain Morgan boomed swinging his silver axe in the air as all the marines quickly gave him a salute and followed his orders. "Yes sir!!" "Daddy!!!" Helmeppo yelled as he pointed a trembling finger at Luffy and the rest of the Mane 6, sweating like crazy and his hair getting all frazzled from all the horrible torture and humiliation that they put him through while in the town square. "Those are the ruffians that hit me! If you have killed them this would never have happened!!" "Capture those colorful ponies at all costs!! I'll sell them to slavery right away or keep them as pets!! If I find out that they are Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit Users then its the watery grave for them!!!" Captain Morgan ordered as he swung his axe so hard that it made the ground shook a bit and left a crack in the pavement. "Aye aye sir!!" The marines all charged at Luffy, Pinkie, Rainbow and the rest of the Mane 6 with their rifles and their swords while the Mane 6 just looked a bit startled to see the attack thats coming for them. "I've been looking for you!!" Luffy said as he quickly grabs Helmeppo on the collar of his shirt and drags him inside the fortress. "L... Let me go! Father help!" Helmeppo yelled as Luffy carelessly slams his head and body to the door and the wall. "Wait Luffy! Where are you going?" Princess Twilight called out as the purple alicorn flies off to where Luffy was off to with the marines now hot on their heels. "They're entering the fortress! Get him!" One of the fodder marines called out as they pursue Luffy and Twilight inside the enormous structure, guns and swords in hand. "All of these rebels defying me!!" Captain Morgan roared as he swung his silver axe on the table, chopping it in two and spilling all of the sake on the pavement together with the broken glass and the expensive sushi platter that was just wasted much to his outrage. "Kill them all!" Captain Morgan yelled as more troops had assembled at the rooftop to target Coby and Spike who were trying to set Zoro free. As all the marines were closing in on them from the left side, Applejack looks to one side as she quickly pulls out her lasso and grabs one of the marines while using that tied up person to smack the marines from the left side while spinning on her forehooves and kicking all of the marines attacking her and knocking them all down. "Yiieeee Haaaa!!!" Applejack cheered as she galloped around and rides one of the marines, giving him a really hard kick on the side instantly he unconscious with spit and blood exiting his mouth. "Seriously? This is the best ya'll got? I didn't even break a sweat." Applejack said as she strikes a pose with her lasso twisting and spinning in the air. Meanwhile as other marines surround them from the right side, Pinkie quickly runs to the charging marines and starts firing her party cannon at them which blasts cupcakes, balloons, gifts, confetti, banners and party streamers everywhere much to their confusion. "Hehehe!! Bleehh!! Bleehh!! Bleehh!! Bleehh!! Bleehh!! Come and catch me!! If you can!!" Pinkie winked at the attacking marines as she shakes her flank at them which only enrages them more. "I said get them right now!!!" Captain Morgan yelled as Pinkie just keeps spinning, twisting and popping up from one place to another which only confuses them more. "Old man!! Old man!! Come and catch me, If you can!!" Pinkie said teasing these marines in order for them to really blow up than they already are as she uses her party cannon to fire cupcakes into their mouth with extreme accuracy. Cupcakes that were over drizzled with hot sauce making them go.... "Ahhhh!!! Hot!! Hot!! Hot!!! Hot!!! Ahhh!!!" "Hah! You call that an attack Mr. Axey Old Man? This is just a walk in the park for me." Pinkie said as she fires off multiple tennis balls like a gatling gun just like during the Storm King's attack in Canterlot, knocking down fodder marines like dominos and bowling pins before jumping up high and striking a pose on top of her party cannon. As more and more marines jumped at the ponies with their swords, axes, pikes, maces and katanas with some of them even firing their guns at them. Rarity just had enough as her pristine white coat been covered with dust and dirt for the last time since arrving at this strange world. "Alright!! That's it!! You ruffians who call yourselves marines need to be thought a lesson!! Take this!! and this!! and this!! and this!!" Rarity focuses the magic on her horn as she starts teleporting everywhere from one place to another, giving each marine who hard kick on their chest, to the legs, right to the face and even to the the balls as they start dropping like flies before teleporting once more from left to right, up and down to side to side in a manner of a minute, blasting her magic right into their eyes and blinding them. "I know that we are pirates and you marines are supposed to the enforcers of the law but you seem more uncouth ruffians in uniform. Attacking a lady like me is a big no no. I hope that teaches you and lesson on how you disgusting barbarians run this place" Rarity said as its her turn to strike a pose and flicks her mane from side to side, pretty as always. "You might have magic on your side but we will not stop until we capture you pastel colored ponies!! Don't think you can win against these numbers cause we're gonna sold you off to slavery where the Celestial Dragons will pay us big money for this!!" One of the marine commanders yelled out as they all charged at Rainbow Dash who just gave them a smirk and flies up high as she dive bombs them from the highest point, creating a double rainboom and knocking them all out except for Captain Morgan who was hiding behind the large tower and her friends that were protected by Rarity's light blue magic shield. "Seriously guys? Do you really think you can catch up to my speed? I'm the fastest flyer in all of Equestria and don't you dunderheads ever forget about that!!" Rainbow declared as she strikes a pose by putting a hoof on one of the knocked out marines and spreading out her wings with a confident smirk. "Come on ya'll! Lets all get to Twilight and Luffy so that we could rescue Zoro!" Applejack called out as she ran inside the Marine Base followed by the Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy who trots happily after paralyzing Captain Morgan in fear, after the corrupted marine officer saw Flutterbat's fierce scream of silence face to face and moreover up close. "What?! Luffy went into the fortress?! Why is he so reckless?!" Coby asked as he starts to untie Zoro from his cross with the help of Spike. "Yeah. I've noticed. Who is he anyway?" Zoro asked with a hint of curiosity. "Alright pal. First things first. He's Coby, I'm Spike the dragon and Luffy is the one who's going to be King of the Pirates! Now listen here. If you want to live your life then be thankful cause we're getting you out of here!" Spike said in his serious tone with that no nonsense face that Zoro recognized at once. "Hey I know that you two are trying to help me." Zoro said as he struggled within his tight ropes. "But you two are being reckless! If they catch you two freeing me, We're all dead! I can't stand the thought of you two dying just because of me!" "But they imprisoned you unfairly Zoro!" Spike countered back while he helps Coby untie Zoro from the wooden post. "Spike is right. I can't stand to see the Navy act improperly. I'm going to be a proper sailor! Just like Luffy's going to be King of the Pirates!" "What?! King of the Pirates?! Does he even know what that means?!" Zoro yelled. "Ha Ha Ha... I was shocked when he first told us too. But he'll succeed or die trying! That's how he is!" Coby said with utmost confidence. "And we are too! So don't you dare die on us because we're setting you free knowing that you can do better. Listen Zoro. This isn't the end for you. We're really sorry if we didn't trust you the first time around but you deserve better than this and..." Spike was cut off when he heard the sound of a gunshot and seeing blood splatter from Coby's shoulder. "COBY!!!" Spike and Zoro yelled as the bullet pierced his skin and his bones all the while Captain Morgan blows the smoke from the muzzle of his flintlock pistol while standing at the top of the marine base. Meanwhile inside the Marine Base. "There he is! Get him!" The Marines yelled as they gave chase to Luffy and Twilight who were running off and taking the Captain's son as their hostage. "Where are Zoro's swords?!" Luffy asked as he kept dragging Helmeppo through the floor as his head slams the hard pavement repeatedly, leaving behind a trail of blood from his forehead. "Tell us where Zoro's swords right now or I'll swear by all the fires in the pits of Tartarus I'll squeeze the life out of your pathetic eyes!!" Twilight yelled, threatening to use her magic to strangle and suffocate Helmeppo through the neck. "I... I'll tell you! I'll tell you! Just stop dragging me!" Helmeppo desperately cried out as he looked to Luffy. "A.. And no magic either!" Helmeppo said as Twilight bashed his head one more time on the floor. "If your lying then may Celestia have mercy on you because I can be that demon who has the ability to TO RIP YOU LIMB BY LIMB!!!" Twilight yelled as she heats up her horn burning up a part of Helmeppo's forehead making him scream in pain. "Ahhhh!!! T.. They're in my room! We passed it a long way back." Helmeppo desperately explained as his face was now oozing with blood. Full of cuts, gashes and burns from Twilight's piercing heat laser from earlier on. "You should've told me! Your wasting time!" Luffy yelled as he punches Helmeppo in the face making him spit out more blood and a couple of broken teeth. "You...!! Piece...!!! Of...!!! Fucking!!! Fuck!!! FUCK!!!! CUNT!!!! YOU STUPID SHIT!!!!" Twillight yelled in Helmeppo's face as she kept slamming and bashing Helmeppo's head on the floor like there's tomorrow, not planning to stop until blood he was dead from blood loss. "Who the fuck do you think your speaking too?!!!" Twilight yelled as she furiously cut his face with her horn and burns his face with her magic which she amped up to more than a thousand degrees making Helmeppo louder as more tears splatter out of his bloodshot eyes and his throat dried out. "Who?!! WHO?!!! I'M TALKING TO YOU HUH?!! Luffy is gonna be the King of the Pirates you fucking piece of stupid trash fuck!!!! WELL?!!! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!!!" "I... I said... T.. They're in... My room..." Helmeppo said as he cried and cried, his face tortured so much by this mysterious purple winged unicorn that it was now unrecognizable and the floor getting red. Meanwhile Luffy didn't say much since he approved of extracting information from Helmeppo before time runs out. First: Helmeppo is a scum, Secondly: they are pirates technically and Third: He did punched Helmeppo earlier. "I JUST SAW YOU FUCKING SPLATTERING RIKA'S RICE BALLS AND NOW I GOTTA HEAR YOUR CRAP?!!! FUCK!!! FUCK!!!" Twilight continued to stepped on Helmeppo's face over and over again until his skull was all cracked and broken up. If she personally saw him do this in Equestria. She would personally turn him into stone and break it on the spot. "FUCK YOU THEN!!!!" Twilight yelled so loud that all the marines inside the base could hear the words of this mysterious alicorn. "Are you alright there Twilight?" Luffy asks with a smile as he turned to Twilight, intending to calm down the purple alicorn. "Yeah... I'm alright Luffy... Its just that... He's the type of people that I hate the most..." Twilight said glaring daggers at Helmeppo. "Drop the Captain's son or we'll shot!" Three marines called out as they pointed their rifles at Luffy and Twilight as the rubber man turns. "I don't want too." "WAAAH! WAAAH!" Helmeppo cried and cried as the marines point their guns at the Captain's son who's face was now unrecognizable from the sheer amount of blood that had been spilt in his tortured face. "Okay! Go ahead and shoot!" Luffy said nonchalantly as Twilight prepares a magic shield for them just in case. "Ahhhh!!! Don't shoot!!! Don't shoot!!!" Helmeppo cried out to the point of exhausting his dried out throat which Twilight plans to strangle and squeeze the life off with her magic if he doesn't cooperate. "He's using the Helmeppo as a shield!! What should we do?!" One the marine worriedly asked his fellow comrade. Back to where Zoro was imprisoned.. "Aaaah! Aaaaaah! I've been shot!" Coby cried and cried as he rubs his hand on the bleeding shoulder making blood splatter on the ground as he lies there. "Blood! I'm bleeding!! Aaah!!" "Coby!!!" Spike yelled as he quickly ran over to his friend and check his condition. "Oh no! This is serious!!" Spike said as he held unto Coby's wounded arm and examined it. "Don't worry I'll get you treatment right away!!" Spike said as he ran over to the bushes to get some leaves and wrap them around Coby's arm tightly to stop the bleeding for now. "Ahhh!! I'm gonna die!!!" "Phew...! Good! Your alive!" Zoro sighs in relief as he saw that Coby was still struggling and that the kid is now getting temporary treatment from Spike. "Now get outta here!" Zoro yelled as he looked around the area to see if there was any sign of incoming marines. "But we haven't untied you yet!" Spike said genuinely worried for his new buddy if what he's saying is true and that more marines are coming for them. "Don't worry about me. I just have to survive the month and they'll let me go. So just beat it and..." Zoro tried to explain but Coby quickly cut him off as Spike finished treating him by puncturing his claw into Coby's shoulder and removing the bullet. The chubby kid just trying to endure the pain. "They're not going to let you go! Your going to be executed three days from now!!" Coby yelled into Zoro's face the harsh truth but it seems like he still isn't buying it. "What are you saying?! That idiot promised me! If I survived here for a month, I'll be set free!!" Zoro countered back. "Zoro listen!" Spike said as he ran over to the wooden post and puts his claws on Zoro's shoulders. "He never intend to keep his promise!" "That's why Luffy punched Helmeppo and we all beat him up!" Coby continued. "Because he found out Helmeppo lied to you!!" "W... What?!" Zoro asked in complete shock and disbelief. "The Navy is your enemy now!!!" Coby said as he gets on his knees and bows down in front of Zoro who was tied on the cross. "Please! If I untie you will you help Luffy, Twilight, and the rest of us here?" "He saved our lives Zoro. As one of his crew members I won't ask you to become a pirate but..." Spike asked as he kneeled to the point that he was about to perform Dogeza which involves kneeling on the ground and bowing to prostrate oneself while touching one's head to the floor. It is used to show deference to a person of higher status, as a deep apology or to express the desire for a favor from said person. "Luffy is really strong and so is Twilight and you! If you all team up with my friends... You can escape from here! Please help him!" Spike begged as tears start to flow down from his eyes and into the ground. "Stay where you are!" A new company of marines arrived as they aim their guns at Zoro, Coby and Spike as the rest of the Mane six were still fighting off marines as they make their way down into the fortress and to the prison compound. "Hey this must be the room!" Luffy said as Twilight slammed the door open with her magic and they entered Helmeppo's fancy and elegant bedroom. "The swords!" Luffy exclaimed happily as he saw the three swords that were conveniently resting on the wall but a thought pop up in his head and confides in Twilight for answers. "But there are three swords! Which one's are Zoro's?" Luffy asks as Twilight slammed Helmeppo's body one more time on his bedroom door making the Captain's son faint in shock and trauma of torture. "That doesn't matter right now Luffy! Spike and Coby is in trouble right now and we have to save him!" Twilight said as she levitated the three swords in her magic along with Luffy as the purple alicorn showed Straw Hat what was going on from the glass windows. "Surround the fortress!! If that Rascal in the straw hat or any of his pony friends escapes, You'll all be sorry!!!!" Captain Morgan yelled as the marines quickly loaded their weapons and aimed them at Zoro, Coby and Spike. "You three aren't simple outlaws are you?! You're trying to overthrow me!!" "Roronoa Zoro! Peasants and pirates may tremble at your name... But your no match for the great one!" Captain Morgan glared daggers at Zoro as he lifts up his enormous silver axe that was gleaming in the sun and smelling fresh of blood both from his own son earlier and from his Lieutenant Commander who defied his orders about killing Rika earlier. "You may be a barracuda... But I'm a great white shark!" Captain Morgan declared as he uses his axe to slice the ground spreading dirt and dust everywhere in the hot sun for dramatic effect. "Take Aim!!!" Captain Morgan ordered as the marines start to load their rifles and prepare to shoot Zoro, Coby and Spike who were sweating buckets into the ground thinking that this is curtains for them. "Chak!!!" Zoro thinks that if he dies here then he will never achieve his dream of becoming the greatest swordsman in the world, Coby thinks that if he dies here now then he will never reach his dream of becoming a marine to arrest all the bad pirates! Spike thinks that if he dies right here, he would never get a chance to return to Equestria and see Twilight become a proper princess of Equestria after their pirate adventure! How would Twilight and her friends react to this especially Rarity? What about Dragonlord Ember , Smolder and the rest of the student six? No! No! He can't die here! What would Cadence and Shining Armor think of this? Their parents Night Light and Twilight Velvet? Please! Someone! Anyone! Twilight! Luffy! Save us!" Spike thought as he silently prayed to whatever deity was out there to come for their rescue and save them. "I..I... I can't die yet! There's something I have to do..." Zoro thought as he contemplated on his life as time seemed to slow down for a second as the marines get ready to fire at him. "I made a promise!!" Zoro yelled out. Zoro's backstory with Kuina. "Yaah! WAP!!" Everyone watched on as the two dojo trainees clashed their swords to a duel. Two formidable sword fighters about to settle some scores. This is Kuina she has short, dark blue hair and large, dark eyes. She wore a light pink short-sleeved shirt with a three-buttoned placket that she left unbuttoned, dark maroon shorts, and brown shoes. "Kuina wins again!! Two Sword Zoro looses!!" The announcer declared as all of the students start to head back inside and take a break for lunch. "Zoro is 0 for 2000 against Kuina!" Kuina smirked as she pointed her wooden sword at Zoro who fell down on his feet and struggles to get the two wooden swords. "Oh well... Pathetic... Kind of weak for a boy, Aren't you?" "Ugh.." Zoro groaned as he tried to nurse his bleeding forehead. "Hey! Zoro's not weak! One of Zoro's classmates argued who had curly hair argued as he got into Kuina's face. His name is Tanaguchi. "He's the strongest in our dojo!" Another one of Zoro's classmates countered, this time sporting a bowl haircut said, pointing a finger at the young girl. He is Kunikida. "He's even stronger than the grown ups!" The third of Zoro's friends. A boy with a bald head stated, clenching his fists in defiance. This one is Furuichi. "That so? Well he's not as strong as me! Even if he can use two swords, He's still weak! "Losers should learn to suffer defeat in silence!" Kuina said as she walks back to the dojo, pointing her wooden sword at them, crushing a stone at the same time. "Darn!" Zoro glared as he clenched his fists in anger. "Kuina makes me so mad! She's kinda cute though..." Tanaguchi yelled in defiance but blushing madly at the thought of Kuina's wink and sass. "Yeah right...! She thinks she's so great just because she's the sensei's daughter!" Kunikida said as anger filled his head, steam fuming out of his ears in a comedic manner. "Lost again eh Zoro?" Zoro's Sensei asked as he walks over to his four students sipping a cup of green tea. "Its odd because you are actually very strong." "Sensei!!" More students rushed over to the Dojo Master to confront him about Kuina's mysterious strength. "Its not fair!" "Sensei! Are you teaching her secret tricks because she's your daughter?!" "Its not fair!" "Of course not!" The Sensei said, waving his hands in a nervous manner, sweat dripping from his forehead as the other students looked at him with a stink eye. "Darn! "Why can't I beat that girl?!" Zoro yelled as he angrily threw the wooden swords on the ground. "Don't forget that Kuina is a little older than you." Zoro's Sensei reminded the moss haired boy with a sneering smile. "But I can beat grown ups!" Chibi Zoro yelled back in a comedic manner. "I'm going to sail the seas and become the greatest sword master in the world! I can't keep losing to that girl!" Zoro yelled as he ran off to look for Kuina and asked for a rematch. Later that night just outside the Dojo Zoro finds Kuina training in the moonlight night as her swords smashes the wooden poles bit by bit as wood chips scatter on the ground."Hyaah! Kyak! Kyak! Kyak! Hyaah!" "Huff... Huff... Huff... Zoro..." Kuina turned around and rolling her eyes seeing how persistent Zoro was in trying to defeat her even though she was defeated him every time. "Kuina! I challenged you to a duel... with real swords!! You're not afraid of real swords, are you?!" Zoro yelled as she throws a sword at Kuina which she catches at one with extreme precision. "Real swords? Okay... Its your funeral." She smirked. "On guard!" Zoro yelled as he held two swords intending to defeat Kuina in the moonlight. Its now or never. "I'm ready!" Kuina then held unto her signature sword as she took a battle stance. "Uwahh!! Yaahh!!" Zoro and Kuina charged into each other with battle cries as Zoro attempts to jump over her but Kuina readies her attack intending to stop Zoro's attack and finished this match in one fell swoop. "Ching! Ching Klang!" Zoro goes all out in throwing slashes over and over again but Kuina was able to block his attacks every single time and parrying them, even if the young Zoro was using two swords against her. "Ching! Ching!! Yahhh!!!" Kuina yelled as she jumps at Zoro and quickly knocks the two swords out of Zoro's hands as the two melee weapons get thrown into the air. "Shakk!!" Kuina finishes as she stabs the ground just inches to where Zoro's head laid as he felt time slow down that he could have been dead right then and there. What a turn of luck for him. "That makes 2001 times I've beaten you!" Kuina smirked as she looked down on Zoro. "Thunk! Thunk" As Zoro's other two swords fell, stabbing the ground just mere inches near Zoro's shoulder and leg. "Darn! Its so frustrating!" Zoro cried as he put a hand over his eyes, crying out and agonizing his defeat over Kuina. "I'm the one who's frustrated..." Kuina exclaimed as she sat down on the stairs of the Dojo motioning for Zoro to sit beside her. "Huh?" "When girls get older, they become weaker than the boys. Pretty soon you'll all be stronger than me. Zoro, you're always saying... ...That you're going to become the world's greatest swordsman... Dad says that girls can't be master swordsman... You're lucky you're a boy Zoro... I wanna become the world's greatest swordsman too!! But I'm starting to great breasts... I wish I was a boy..." Kuina explained as tears start to trickle down her eyes as she looks at Zoro with a sad smile. "What are you crying about?! You beat me!! That's not fair! Beating you is my dream!" Zoro yelled as he picks up his two swords taking a battle stance. "Someday I'll beat you because I worked hard, Not because you got weaker!! Its got nothing to do with being a boy or a girl!! I'm training all the time to beat you! Your making me look bad!" "Zoro..." Kuina slowly looks up at Zoro as tears kept streaming down her face, forming a small puddle of liquid pride on the ground. Lets make a promise to each other! Someday, One of us will become the greatest swordsman ever!! We'll fight each other for the title!" Zoro said as he uses his two swords to stab the ground in front of the Dojo then reaches out his arms to give her a handshake. "You idiot!" Kuina cried as she looks at Zoro with a teary eyed smile before accepting Zoro's handshake with a reassuring nod as their friendship blooms much stronger. "Your too puny! Hehehe." Kuina laughed as she playfully punched Zoro in the shoulder. "Its a promise!" Zoro and Kuina simultaneously said to each other in the moonlight night. "Zoro! There's been an accident! Its Kuina! She fell down the stairs... She's dead!!!" One of the dojo students exclaimed as Zoro was held down by his classmates, crying his tears out and mourning the death of his friend. "Man! You made a promise yesterday! You can't run away from your promise!!" "Zoro stop it!" Zoro's sensei called out as he put a white cloth over Kuina's face to finally put her body to rest. "Humans are fragile things, Zoro..." The teacher said as he gave Zoro a towel to wipe his tears off whilst putting a comforting hand on the young boy's shoulder. "Sensei! May I have her sword?" Zoro asked Kuina's father as he performs dogeza on the floor as waterfall tears gushes out of his eyes, creating puddles on the floor. "...I suppose so..." "I'll have to keep the promise for both of us. I'm going to become such a great swordsman that my name will be known even in heaven!!!!" Zoro declared as he tightly grips Kuina's sword as his tears flow down from the sword where Kuina's face appears for a second and into the puddle of tears on the floor. "I Promised her! I can't die yet!!" Zoro thought as the marines aimed their rifles at Zoro, Coby and Spike. "Luffy!! Zoro, Coby and my baby brother Spike are in trouble!!" Twilight said with worry as Luffy quickly grabbed her and stretches his arms on the window. "Gum Gum... Rocket!!" "Don't worry Twilight! We're gonna get there in no time!" Luffy said as Luffy braced himself for the impact head on while Twilight closed her eyes while levitating Zoro's swords with her magic. "Oh I hope that my friends are alright. Twilight yelped as Luffy smashes the window, spreading broken glass around Helmeppo's room as he blasts himself down just as Captain Morgan gave the order to fire and give the killing blow to Zoro. "Bang!!!" "Fire!!!" Captain Morgan yelled as the marines fired their guns but Luffy jumped in front of the captured friends just in time as the projectiles shot through Luffy's body as Twilight flips back with Zoro's swords levitated with her magic at the same time that Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy barged out of the door and charged in, ready to fight and standing behind Luffy. Pinkie held unto her party cannon with her knife out, Applejack had her lasso out and her stetson hat covering her face with shadows, Rarity lit her horn up, Rainbow Dash stands defiant against the marines with her hooves crossed over her chest and ready to brawl while Fluttershy leaps forward in a fighting stance, her usual gentle eyes looking like they could stare into souls. "Bang!! Bang!! Bang!! Bang!!" "You?!" Zoro was shocked as he saw Luffy standing there in front of him and how the bullets reacted to the Straw Hat Boy's body. "Luffy!!!" Coby yelled as he was shocked and appalled to seeing that Luffy got shot by the rifles. "Twilight!!! Spike jumped for joy, seeing that Twilight was alright and everypony else came in for the rescue. "Straw Hat... and those colorful magical ponies..." Captain Morgan glared as he looked at this rubber kid and all of these colorful ponies that teamed up against him. "Hiyah!!!" Luffy expands his body forward as bullets fly all over the prison courtyard, killing the marines around him as Twilight put up a purple barrier in front of her friends except Luffy seeing how these bullets don't affect him. "Bullets can't hurt me!! Hahahaha!!" "Look out!!" Captain Morgan's eyes bulged out of his eye sockets in a comedic manner upon seeing most of the marines getting killed by this rubber boy. "What are you?!" Zoro asked as Spike quickly ran over to help Coby who passed out as Twilight starts healing the pink haired chubby kid with her magic. "I'm the guy... Who's gonna be King of the Pirates!!!" Luffy yelled so loud that it echoed all over the Marine Base and being heard by every ear that was in that structure. "So which swords are yours?" Twilight asked as she levitated the three swords over to the moss haired prisoner after telling Spike to bring Coby to a safe place. "Luffy didn't know so he bought all three..." "They're all mine. I practiced Santoryu. Three Sword Style. Luffy then walks over to Zoro as he brought up his old deal once more. "Look Zoro. If you fight the Navy with me and Twilight here and now, In the eyes of the government, You'll be one of the bad guys! Of course, You could obey the law... and let them kill you!" Luffy reasoned with Twilight giving a nod. "You two must be demon spawn..." Zoro grinned as he gave them a devilish smile. "But I'm not ready to die without a fight! All right! You two got yourselves a pirate!!!" "Really?! You'll join our crew?!" Luffy cheered with a toothy grin. "Woohoo! That's amazing! I'm sure that you'll have tons of adventures with us!!" Twilight jumps for joy as the purple alicorn and the straw hat boy starts dancing around in celebration that was way too early as more marines kept assembling in front of the execution ground which annoyed Zoro. "I don't have much choice! Now untie me you two!!" "Don't worry buddy! You got it!" Spike said as he blew his green flames, burning off the ropes around Zoro and handing him his swords. "Thanks a lot Spike" Zoro said as the baby dragon responded with a quick salute. "What is he?! Bullets bounced right off him!" The marine reinforcements asked each other worriedly as Captain Morgan marched right in front of them. "He's no ordinary human!!! He's eaten one of the devil fruit... And so is the purple flying unicorn and the rest of his talking colorful ponies. They might be awakened zoans..." Captain Morgan explained. "... The secret treasure from those seas!!? No way! So that's their powers?!" The marines gasped as they talked amongst themselves about this possible dilemma. "If bullets can't hurt them, then use your swords!! All who defy me must die!!!" Captain Morgan yelled all of the marines just charged into Luffy, Zoro, Twilight, Coby, Spike and the rest of the mane 6 who's just about ready to get rough and dirty after experiencing an all out war that nearly ended Equestria just before Twilight was crowned princess and coming into this world. "Kill Straw Hat with Roronoa Zoro and capture the creatures with them!! I'll keep them as pets or sell them into slavery in Grove Number 1 over in Sabaody and get sent into the Holy Land of Mariejois!" As the marines all charged at Luffy, Zoro, Twilight and Spike, The rest of the Mane 6 ran ahead of them, understanding that its time for battle and that from this day onwards, They're probably going to fight for the rest of their lives until they reach Equestria and come home so that Twilight could become a proper princess. "These marines sure are a bunch of meany bullies aren't they?" Pinkie asks putting a hoof under her chin. "Yes Pinkie, They are nothing but a bunch of ruffians who don't know how to respect a lady and her beauty! Better teach them a lesson once and for all" Rarity replied as Rainbow then heads straight for the horde of men with guns and swords as Applejack called out. "Hold on girl! Wait!" "The first move who moves... dies..." Zoro said as all of the marines started crying out and wetting their pants once they encountered Roronoa Zoro who managed to blocked all of their attacks with his Three Sword Style as he looks back at Luffy with a devilish grin. "All right. So I'm a pirate. I gave you my word. I've fought the Navy, therefore I'm officially an outlaw... But hear this!! I have a mission to fulfill!!! I'm going to be the world's greatest swordsman! All I have left is my destiny! My name may be infamous... But its gonna shake the world!!! But you are making me a pirate! So if I have to abandon my dream for any reason... Then I'm going to make you commit hara kiri!!!" Zoro exclaimed as he looked at Luffy with a piercing glare while holding unto his position with his swords, two on both of his arms and one on his mouth. "Hiyaahh!!!" Rainbow yelled as she starts zipping around the marines and kicking them straight in the face as the marines once again started dropping like flies, the only vision that they could see was a bright rainbow blur before they get kicked down, having no chance against the rainbow maned pegasus. "The world's greatest swordsman, That's great!" Luffy said with an intrigue smile. "And its fitting since your new boss is going to be king of the pirates! Anything else would make me look bad!" "Alright! Its time to party!!" Pinkie yelled out she bravely faced the horde of marines that come at her with her weapons but Pinkie has literally a surprise for them as she starts dropping multiple jack in the boxes on the ground where her face keeps popping in and out as men tried to slash, cut and shoot her. "Bleeh!! Bleeh!! Bleehh!! Bleeh!!! Bleehh!!" Pinkie teased as the pink party pony stuck her tounge right out at them which only made them more angry. "I'm right here!! Oops!! You missed me!! I'm right over here silly!! Come and catch me, If you can!! Hehehe!!" Pinkie said as she kept appearing and disappearing until the marines started getting dizzy from trying to catch her and thats when the pink party pony detonated all the bombs that were inside the 'jack in the box toys' exploding all over the place leaving behind thousands of dead and injured. "Hmph!" Zoro scoffed as he uses his swords to push more of these marines into Luffy's other pony friends who were fighting for their lives in the name of Luffy's crew. "Why do you hesitate unlike your pony friends?! Take a look around you! Hack those brigands into mincemeat! Now!!" "Don't even think up against me Darlings knowing that you've got no chance hehehe" Rarity said in her elegant and flirtatious way but the marines don't care and just want to run straight ahead for her in a death trap as Rarity quickly teleports right in front of them, back and forth from side to side as she just uses her magic to blast her light blue heat rays into their eyes to blind them as they cry in pain before proceeding to punch, kick and chop them on the shoulders, neck, chest, waist, leg, and even their balls making the marines cry more in agony as more blood splatters on the ground as Rarity had a cheerful smile on her face as she literally use her magic to grip and crushed one of the marine's balls before throwing the disgusting thing on the ground, scaring more of them. "Zoro duck!!" Luffy called out as he stretches out his leg and swings it around to smack these fodder marines like what Applejack would do using her rope. "Gum... Gum... Whip!!" Luffy's leg whipped around these marines causing them to fly to the wall and into the ground while others were sent to Twilight's friends where they would get slaughtered by the ponies of his pirate crew. Ponies that could do so much more and shouldn't be underestimated. "Wow! He's incredible!" Coby cheered as Spike lands down next to him and gives pink haired chubby kid a fist bump. "I know right? Come on, Lets go and join the battle!" Spike said as Coby gave him a nod. "On it! Twilight?" Coby called as Twilight quickly responded by zooming in to where Coby was and picks him up and starts flying high, firing purple heat beam lasers at these unfortunate marines who had to do battle with them while Spike became Coby's flamethrower burning everything in his path. "Ahhh!! Ahhh!!! Ahhh!!! Hot!! Hot!! Hot!! Hot!!! Hot!!!" All of the marines around them ran off to find water but to no avail, forcing them to just drop and roll. Some of them even considering to retreat and get away from these monsters. "What the devil are you?!" Zoro asked as he cut up more marines that were trying to capture him and blocking the swordman's way. "I'm a... Rubber Man!!!" Luffy grinned as he showed Zoro his rubbery feet. "Now its best that ya'll better git before me and the rest of the girls here better messed you up." Applejack warned as these marines just keep coming at her and intending to capture her friends. "Alright then.. Don't say I didn't warn ya... Ya'll don't want to mess with me when I'm angry as the marines quickly stopped, trembling in fear and dropping their weapons once they saw the fire in Applejack's eyes as the Apple Farmer quickly pulls out her lasso and starts to round one of them up before dragging him into the ground and using him to slam and knock out more of these persistent marines just like Luffy's Gum Gum Whip before using the captured marine as a paddle ball by literally kicking the captured marine in the face over and over again to the point that his skull would break under the extreme power of Applejack's bucking force before throwing this guy to the ground hard and doing these to the other marines more and more until they we're all down, unconsious and horribly injured that they were all swimming in their own little puddle of blood. "Oh dear... Please... No... D.. Don't attack me..." Fluttershy pleaded as more marines were running at her friends at a mass assault while this large company of marines just don't stop. "P... Please... Stop... Or... I... I'm... Gonna... Ahhhh!!!" Fluttershy yelled loudly as she transforms into her Flutterbat as her eyes glared at these stubborn marines showing no mercy whatsoever as Flutterbat swoops down on these venerable marines by biting on the neck and ripping out their flesh, even going so far as to pounced on each one of them and literally rip their faces off as well as skin them alive, making the marines cry in agony from being burned from seething heat of the sun. "Try to shoot that Vampire Bat Pony at all costs! Its still a living being!" The marine commander ordered as they all grab their weapons and shoot this butter yellow Flutterbat. "BANG!!!" But at the same time, Spike blew a large wall of green fire, intending to melt the bullets as Fluttershy once again disappears in a quick second flight before appearing behind them and face raping like a dangerous snarling dog by skinning them alive and ripping their faces off making blood splatter on the ground. Worst of all is that she just used her animal communication talent to speak to Helmeppo's dogs through their mind as these rapid wild dogs pounced on the helpless marines to devour and give these navy soldiers a horrifying death. "A rubber man?!" One of the marines exclaimed as he tried to crawl away from the battle to nurse his injuries. "Captain they're too much for us!!" Another marine said as he tries to back away, seeing the dark and red demon eyes of Spike and everypony else as his imagination warns him that these are blood lusted monsters and shouldn't be messed with. "I.. Its hopeless! We can't fight these magical powered ponies... A fire breathing dragon... T.. This rubber man... and that Demon Roronoa Zoro at the same time!!!" Another marine exclaimed as he tried to limp home to the main building of home base. "Hear Me!" Captain Morgan yelled as he just slashed the marine trying to limp home to base, slicing his body into two without any hesitation making the marines fear him even more than before. "All you cowards who were whining just now...Will shoot yourselves in the head! I won't tolerate defeatists... In my outfit!!! On my order... Fire!!!" Captain Morgan commanded as the marines quickly reloaded their rifles and get ready to shoot themselves in the head as they start sweating like crazy and some of them even wet their pants, Not knowing who to fear anymore. "KACHACK!!!" "Something's wrong with those marines!!!" Zoro said as Luffy starts running off to confront Captain Morgan himself much to his surprise. "Hey! I'm your enemy... Try putting me to death!!!" Luffy yelled as he grabs Captain Morgan by his axe and throws him into the ground. "LUFFY!!! DESTROY THIS LOUSY NAVY!!!" Coby yelled making the marines stop their attacks and observe what would be the outcome of this battle seeing what this pink haired boy was fighting for. "Hmph! You have neither rank nor status!" Captain Morgan yelled as he threw his marine coat to the side, getting ready to fight this rubber kid himself. "I'll teach you to defy your betters!" "I'm Captain Axe Hand Morgan!!" Captain Morgan roared as he attempts to slice Luffy with his giant axe for the second time. "Nice to meet you! I'm Straw Hat Luffy!" Luffy nonchalantly said as braced himself for Captain Morgan's attack. "DIE!!!" Captain Morgan yelled as swings around his enormous silver axe at Luffy but then the rubber man quickly dodged at the last second as Captain Morgan sliced the steel fence in two. " "SLASH!!!" "He cut through steel?!" Coby exclaimed as his jaw literally dropped down to the ground and sweat bursting out of his forehead like a fountain. "Wow!! That's sharp!!" Spike addend being just as shock and appalled as his buddy. "Nooo!!! Luffy died in one hit!!!" Coby exclaimed as he starts to freak out with Spike what the outcome of this final battle would be. "No wait! He vanished into thin air?! What the hell is happening?!" "I don't know!! I don't know!! I'm too nervous to find out!!" Spike addend as he starts biting his claws much to Twilight's disapproval. "Huh? Something is not right here... How did I miss him point blank? Where the hell did you go you coward?!" Captain Morgan yelled as it turns out that Luffy flipped right behind him as the Straw Hat Boy quickly grabs him by the neck and slams him down to the ground so hard that it created a small crack right where a rock stood as blood began to trickle down from Captain Morgan's forehead as Luffy prepares for his next attack. "Gum... Gum... Jet Rocket!!!" Luffy yelled as punched Captain Morgan so hard that it created a huge crack in the wall of the Marine Base splattering blood from behind the captain's head as the cannons fall down on top of him to finish him off. "You and your navy... Are ruining Coby's dream!" Luffy said nonchalantly as he walks back to Zoro, Coby, Twilight and everypony else. "Captain Morgan is knocked out." The remaining marines said amongst themselves as they examined the results of this battlefield and realizing what it meant for their futures. "The captain was defeated in one punch!" The Marine Commander exclaimed as the remaining marines start throwing their weapons in the air, dancing around and hugging each other, celebrating the defeat of Captain Axe Hand Morgan. "HOORAY! That bastard is finally down!" "Captain Morgan's been defeated!!!" "Hooray!!!" "Thank you sir! Thank you everyone! We all hated that piece of shit!" "Morgan's reign of terror is over!!" "Banzai for the Navy!!" "Finally we are free! Somebody call the Marine HQ for the report!" "We must offer something to these kind strangers who helped us!" "What's wrong with people here?" Spike asked as a large anime style question mark appeared on top of his head. "I agree Spike? I don't get it either. Luffy punched their boss and they are happy." Twilight said as she gave Spike and everypony else a confused look. "They said that he is not a nice guy! He was abusing his rank like a power hungry dictator!" Coby exclaimed as Twilight, Spike, and everypony else celebrated their victory over Captain Morgan and his son Helmeppo. "Luffy, Zoro and Twilight, You have my thanks everyone! I have decided on my objective now." Coby said as he wraps his arms around Luffy, Zoro, Twilight, Spike and everyone else catching his friends by surprise. "I will join the marines and train train train to get as strong as you guys are now!" "Awww don't you worry sport! We'll always be here for you." Spike said as he wraps his arms around Coby, hugging him from the back. "Its no biggie Coby. You know that we'll always be here to help you out and whatever happens out there at sea. Just know that, We'll always got your back." Luffy said with a confident grin. "Yeah and just like Applejack said. Even though we're enemies and there comes a time when we do capture you. We'll always send you back to base. Twilight said as she put a comforting hoof on Coby's waist to assure him that everything was going to be alright. "You are strong, Always remember that. We believed in you so all you have to make the effort and I'm sure that your going to be a great marine someday." Zoro said as he puts on back his sword, proud that he managed to inspire a boy to follow his own dreams just like will be the world's greatest swordsman one day. "Just don't expect us to easy on you if your the one that ends up capturing us. Take note that we'll fight back over and over again!" Rainbow joked as everypony laughed. Back Outside Rika's house there was a big party where everyone celebrated the defeat of Captain Morgan and his son Helmeppo. As Rika and her mother cooked the meat, fish and veggie dishes for everyone. Pinkie Pie and Applejack also helped out as Pinkie made her signature chocolate cupcakes with strawberry frosting, topped with sprinkles while Applejack made her Granny's World Famous Apple Pie together with some apple fritters, apple cobblers, apple dumplings, caramel apples and also her family's Sweet Apple Acre Cider with the help from the townspeople who brought over the ingredients after the corrupt tax money was fairly returned to the citizens. After the food was finished being prepared, everyone was having a good time dancing from music on Pinkie's gramophone, playing games such as pin the tail on the pony, darts, shaking their groove on the conga line, bobbing for apples as well as playing Twister and Luffy was laughing as he taught Pinkie, Spike and Coby the silly act of putting chopsticks up your nose and mouth. Everyone was having a good time, citizens and marines alike. "Hey Zoro where are you going?" Spike asked as he saw Zoro walk off from the festivities and sit down on the porch of Rika's house. "Ehh... Well its been fun Spike but these big parties. They aren't really my style." "Really? Then how about if bobbed for some apples or scoop some gold fish? We could have a contest to see who can win." Spike said with some encouragement as the baby dragon showed Zoro the stuffed bunny and the gold fish that he won from one of Pinkie's party games. "No thanks Spike" Zoro said with a grin as he lightly rubbed the baby dragon's spines. "Besides I'm more interested in the food around here. After lunch time... "Hahaha! Munch! Munch!" "Umph! I'm stuffed!!" Zoro grinned as he pats his stomach as he burped. "Not eating for nine days was worse than I thought!!!" "See, You'd never have survived the whole month!" Luffy said as keeps eating more beef and pork dishes whilst he scarved more of Pinkie's special cupcakes and whole pie tins of Applejack's apple pies. "Well according to the science based research and the findings of biology Luffy's right! You... " Twilight was about to explain Zoro quickly put a hand on her mouth quickly knowing that she was going to explain more intricate science and biology. This just annoyed the purple alicorn princess, though she looked more cute than annoyed. "Funny... You all seem hungrier than me! Hahahaha!" Zoro said as he points to Luffy and Pinkie who were scarfing down food like there's no tomorrow, each of them grabbing something to eat from the other's plate and it looks as if they are having some kind of eating contest. "Its kind of you to feed me along with the heroes mam!" Coby said as he bows down in front of Rika's mother then to Pinkie and Applejack. "I also want to thank you girls for cooking these delicious, mouth watering desserts for me. I hope you can share me more of your cooking when I get to visit this land called Equestria by the time you and your friends come home. "Awww its nothin Sugarcube, I'm just glad that I get to share with you some Apple Family Love, edible style!" Applejack said as she handed one more Apple Pie to Coby. "This here's for the road." "Its alright Coby! You bet your sweet flank that we're gonna be doing this for you till the end of time cause we're now super duper party pony pals!" Pinkie said as she gave Coby a tray of Red Velvet Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting and Raspberry Filling topped with cherries on top. "Even though we're gonna be pirates and your going to be a marine. I'm sure that we can find a compromise in the future somehow. "Its the least I can do! You all saved the whole town!!" Rika's mother smiled as she looked at these strong kids and colorful ponies bravely saved everyone. "Wow your all so great!" Rika said as she looked at Luffy, Zoro, The baby dragon Spike and all of these pastel colored ponies as she had stars and hearts in her eyes. "Yeah! I'm kinda great!" Luffy grinned as he finished his food and burps. "And we're going to become a lot greater!" Spike and everypony said as they gathered around Luffy with cheerful smiles and confident smirks. "And I'm going to be more awesome!!" Rainbow Dash grinned as she flies around Rika, leaving behind a rainbow trail which excites the little girl as she goes outside to play with the rainbow maned pegasus. "So... What's next?" Zoro asked as he put his hands on his back, preparing to relax. "We're heading for the Grand Line!" Luffy declared as Coby just looked at him, jaw literally dropping to the floor. "Huh?! That's suicide!!! There are only two of you! If you go there, you'll just be sailing to your deaths! The most bloodthirsty pirates in the world are there!!!" Coby exclaimed as if they're literally about to throw themselves into the pit of hell. "Well, I guess if we're after the One Piece... The Grand Line is where we have to go." Zoro said with a grin. "Zoro?! You agree with him?!" Coby asked. The feeling of shock like he was going to pass out, not leaving his body. "What is it to you? Your not coming with us." Zoro shrugged and replied nonchalantly. "No, But I'm worried about you! Is that so wrong?!" Coby asked worried as sweat ran down his forehead like waterfalls while imagine the different ways that Luffy, Zoro, Twilight, Spike and everyone could die out there since they have no knowledge of this world. "That's not what I..." Zoro tried to explain but he was quickly cut off by Coby as the chubby pink haired kid turned to Luffy. "Luffy, We haven't known each other for very long, but... We're friends, aren't we?" Coby asked with some hesitation. "We're going our separate ways... But we'll always be friends!!" Luffy said with a big smile. "You're all the first real friends that I've ever had... No one else would ever stuck up for me! Even I wouldn't stick up for me! But all of you... Taught me to fight for what I believe in!!!" Coby said explaining the position that they are going to be in, for the future when they meet somewhere out there in the seas but Luffy, Zoro, Twilight, Spike and everypony else knew what he meant. "That's why I'm going to the Grand Line!" "Makes sense to me." Zoro addend. "Wait! That's not what I...!! I'm trying to convince you that its reckless!!" "What about your plans?" Zoro asked as he lightly tapped Coby on the head with the back of his sword. "Huh?! What do you mean?" Coby asked curiously. "You were Cabin Boy on Alvida's Pirate Ship for two years. Watch out for the Navy's Intelligence. If they find out about out about your background, They won't let you enlist." Zoro explained and it really got Coby thinking deep inside while everyone else was talking about their plans for their future pirate adventures. This was a lot to think about, so much so that Coby had a hard time sleeping that night before the Straw Hats leave the next morning. The next day after the Straw Hat Pirates mysteriously left that morning... "I beg you, I seriously want to join the marines! I'm sure I will be of help to you! I know I don't have any experience in combat or strategy, but I am still a kid and I will do my best to learn all I can!" Coby exclaimed as he bowed down in front of Former Lieutenant Commander Ripper who checked his CV and looks at this kid, wondering if he has the potential for a recruit. "Also Mr. Zoro gave me his personal work out schedule to get strong. I must follow it!" Coby explained as he got to his knees and down on his stomach, to the point of performing a dogeza for this Lieutenant, just so that he could be enlisted in the marines. "Sir what about the strangers?" Another marine asked as he entered Rika's house. "They have much more potential, We can deploy them against powerful pirates." "Unfortunately, they did not like how we never chose to stand up to Morgan. They asked for a map of the East Blue and then left." Commander Ripper explained with some disappointment in his voice. "Damn it! I did not even have the time to tell them farewell! Neither did you! Let's go to the town pier! They might be looking for a boat to sail with, or something!" Coby suddenly yelled at Commander Ripper as the two looked at each other as if they were going to have an intense stare down before a duel as Coby suddenly realized his mistake. "I will forgive you for shouting at me. This is a first lesson for you." Commander Ripper said with a sigh as he walks out of the door, motioning for him to follow. "You're right. Let's go to the pier." "Sure... YES SIR!!!" Coby yelled with a trembling salute but deep inside, he felt relieved that he was pardoned for this sudden disrespectful behavior. "Damn. Those fishermen just left with the last boat! Those fishing rod outta be nice for me." Zoro sighs as he looks at the last boat sailing away in the middle of the ocean. "Shishishishi, Don't worry Zoro. I'm sure that if we asks those marines for a new ride then they can provide a new boat for us." Luffy said with a smile. "Now Zoro, Don't steal anything okay? We just saved this town and I don't the people here to turn against us alright?" Twilight said as she looked at Zoro to give the impression that she meant what she said. "W.. Woah! Woah! Easy there Twilight! I'm not gonna steal anything okay? Thats not the kind of guy" Zoro explained but then Pinkie popped out of nowhere from the swordsman's back as a light bulb popped up in PInkie's head. "Oooh! What if we suddenly met a thief somewhere on the next island of our pirate adventure and that she can also be an expert navigator huh?" "WHAT?!!" Luffy, Zoro, Spike, Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Fluttershy simultaneously asked as the same time as gigantic anime question marks appear on top of her head. "Nothing!!!" Pinkie said with her best impression of an innocent smile as she slowly crawls away from Luffy, Twilight and the rest of the new Straw Hat pirate crewmates for now. "Spoilers..! Spoilers...! Hehehehe!" "On behalf on the Marine Corps of Shells Town, Thank you for your help!" Commander Ripper declared with a proud salute, his new marine trainee Coby, as well as all of his men and the citizens of Shells Town. "Good Luck!" Rika and her mother said their goodbyes as the mother waves a handkerchief to see them off while Rika was throwing sunflowers and roses at them for a proper farewell to their journey. "Uhm... You're welcome? Anyway, you see.... The last boat sailed.. Is there something you can do to let us go away from here?" "Uh... Ugh... We will provide a boat for you to set sail!" Commander Ripper exclaimed with a high and mighty proud salute. "Guys! Prepare a boat for Twilight, Luffy, Zoro, Spike and all of her friends! Have it ready right away! Got it?" Commander Ripper ordered the rest of the marines as he was pointing to the pile of wood that was conveniently by the pier. "Roger!" The marines saluted back as they started building a wooden dinghy much to the relief of Twilight, Luffy, Zoro, Spike and everypony else. "Oh.. I can't believe were actually doing this!" Twilight said as as he fell down but luckily he was caught by Pinkie and Rainbow Dash from dizziness and having swirly swirls on her eyes. "We sure are Twilight and I can only tell that its gonna be a whole lot more interesting from here on out!" Luffy said as Zoro walks up to them and helps Twilight up. "Yep! Yep!! Yepperooni!! Don't you worry about any future dangery dangers out there Twilight cause we're here to help you out no matter what and we'll never leave you hanging, I promise.." Pinkie said as she boops Twilight cutely on the muzzle and gives her full assurance with a Pinkie Swear and her cheery loving smile. "Okay Luffy... Zoro... Thank you girls, Maybe this won't be so bad after all hehehe" "LETS GO!!!!" Luffy yelled with his hyperactive energy and excitement as Zoro, Twilight, Spike and everypony else throws him into the air three times as their boat starts to sail with everyone from Shells Town waving their goodbyes with Coby and Rika the little girl having struck a deeper friendship from that point on.
