"Oh... I'm really worried..." a soft, female voice said aloud in an infamous bar called Shakky's Rip-Off Bar on an island known as Sabaody Archipelago. Sabaody Archipelago was one of the many islands near the first half of the Grand Line. It was an island full of tall trees which were each numbered from grove one to ninety-nine and just like its name, is an archipelago. "I wonder if Luffy-chin and the others are all right."
"What are you saying, Caimie?!" A starfish with a rasta-colored beanie said, panicking slightly. "Don't say stuff that'll make us all worried!"
"But..." the green-haired mermaid responded slowly, but was interrupted by Hachi, an eight armed merman. He was laying on a table next to Caimie and Pappug, the starfish, while Caimie was treating Hachi's wounds. Hachi recently got shot by one of the World Nobles, the descendants of the founders of the World Government. Luffy was angered by this and as a result punched the World Noble. However, that triggered the battle between the Admiral Kizaru and the Straw Hats, only to be interrupted by Bartholomew Kuma. It is said if you anger or even go as far as punching a World Noble they have the rights to send a Navy Admiral towards you, which was one of the Marine's strongest fight force.
"They're strong, so don't worry about a thing, Caimie." Hachi said trying to reassure her. Caimie looked down, knowing that the threat the Straw Hats faced against was on a whole different level.
"I hope you're right..." she sighed.
"I hope, you say... you're doing it again!" Pappug said worryingly. "You've seen how strong they are, too, right? I'm telling you they're fine!"
"They're up against an admiral from the Navy." Shakky, the bar owner, told them blankly. "Even Monkey-chan and his group can't beat someone as strong as that." The others looked at her shocked. "The seas are becoming more and more fierce now. A wave larger than anything I've seen before is on it's way. They can't afford to be beaten by that wave... can you hear it?" She told them as she puffed out of her cigarette. The lights of the bar dimmed as the sun slowly began to set over below horizon, the waves of the ocean moving rapidly and strong.
Meanwhile somewhere in the middle of the ocean in the Grand Line...
"Dammit!" Luffy cried as he awoke inside Bartholomew Kuma's paw-shaped bubble. Bartholomew Kuma's devil fruit power allowed Luffy to soar through the sun-setting skies, unharmed from anything that was an obstacle to the paw-shaped bubbles path.
"Zoro! Nami! Usopp! Sanji! Chopper!" Luffy paused to catch his breath.
"Robin! Franky! Brook! Where'd he send my crew off too?" Luffy cried in pain, remembering the image of Kuma blasting away his crew with his bear paws, unable to do anything to protect them. Luffy felt hurt, knowing that there was a chance that he'd never see his beloved crew mates ever again. His body was still ragged and weak from the fight against the Navy Admiral and Kuma, essentially making him very tired.
"Where'd all of you go?! I'll never forgive that bear-like Schibukai!" Luffy panted as he yelled to nobody. He paused for a minute realizing he was still flying through the sky. "Anyways, how far am I going to fly?!"
Suddenly, Luffy remembered what Sentomaru told him about Kuma's abilities during the fight.
"They say anyone who gets blasted off by his pads is sent flying through the sky for three whole days. Though, I'm not sure whether that is true or not."
"Oh, that's right... that means... maybe everyone didn't vanish, but instead were sent flying like I was?" He questioned himself out loud in a quieter tone as he collided with the tip of a mountain on a nearby island, completely vaporizing the tip off. The collision had no effect against paw-shaped bubble, continuing at full speed to its unknown destination. It began to get darker, the sun slowly falling lower and lower.
"Maybe what the broad axe-guy said was true. In that case, I'll be flying around like this for three days? I'd die if it dropped me into the sea... and I'm hungry too," His stomach growling loudly. "Ugh... I'm so sleepy."
"Zoro... Nami... Usopp... Sanji... Chopper... Robin... Franky... Brook... everyone..." Luffy said as he finally drifted off to a very uncomfortable sleep. As Luffy was sleeping soundlessly, soaring through the sky, the bubble began to bend and turn violently. The paw-shaped bubble was beginning to be consumed by a bright light. Luffy was unaware of this as he slept, but the bright light began to grow stronger and stronger. Then out of nowhere, the bubble vanished.
Equestria, Outside Fluttershy's Cottage. Three days later...
Fluttershy trotted along her lawn, tending to all the animals that kept her at bay around the house. It was a daily routine for her that never grew old no matter how long she's been doing it. However, today was a very strange day for her. The animals have been acting up for no reason at all, and Fluttershy tried all she could to keep them calm. She obviously knew something was wrong. She just couldn't put her hoof to it. Even Angel, her pet bunny, was acting strange. Fluttershy would try to ask him what was wrong, but he would either ignore her or look up at the sky with a painful, worried expression.
She finally took a break after what seemed like hours just trying calm down half of the animals, a grim expression appeared on the shy mare's face. She sat there thinking that maybe she should go ask Twilight to help her figure out how to calm the animals, but she knew Twilight was always busy with her studies and she couldn't possibly interfere.
That's when she heard the sound of a high pitched screech, the loudest thing she has ever heard in her life, The sound nearly scared her to death. The high pitched, screeching noise took over the room, causing all the animals in Fluttershy's home to panic and hide. She looked around scared and confused out of her mind. The noise continued, however she finally regained her composure and began to investigate the source of the sound. She quickly looked out the window of her home, searching around her now barren lawn, the animals hiding from the unbearable noise. It was then out of the corner of her eye, she realized something soaring through the sky, flying faster than even a sonic rainboom. Fluttershy gazed at in in awe clapping her hooves together. At first she thought it was Rainbow Dash, but suddenly realized that it couldn't possibly be her. The deafening noise was coming directly from it and was flying a lot faster than Rainbow Dash, which surprised her. She knew that no pony has ever flown faster than Rainbow Dash yet this pony, or maybe it wasn't even a pony at all, was flying faster than anything she's ever seen. She finally gained enough courage to brave the safety of her home. She ran outside, hiding behind a bush, to get a better view.
The longer she stared at the deafening object, the more she realized it was soon getting larger and larger. Soon, she watched it zoom over the roof of her house, breaking the tip of her chimney slightly, and crashing like a meteorite somewhere far off in the Everfree Forest. Then the screeching noise finally ended . The animals around her home began to come out of hiding, returning to there respective homes. The silence bothered Fluttershy, still hearing the high-pitched hiss ringing in her ears.
I wonder if any pony in Ponyville heard this. Fluttershy thought to herself. Something urged her to investigate, but she knew the dangers of the Everfree Forest. Out of the corners of her eyes, she saw the figures of Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkles approaching her.
"Hey Fluttershy! Did you see that huge object flying over your house?" Rainbow Dash yelled over to Fluttershy, grinning wildly, as the two mares slowly approached her. Rainbow Dash then saw the terrified face of Fluttershy. "Oh... heh. I guess you did."
"We heard the sound all over Ponyville and it seemed to be coming from here, do you know what happened?" Twilight looked at Fluttershy with a compassionate gaze, imagining how terrified Fluttershy might've felt during the event. Fluttershy hesitated to speak, still a bit dazed from the sound of the object but finally spoke up.
"Well... it flew over my house and kind of broke my chimney... than it sped over, deep into the Everfree Forest." Fluttershy spoke quietly, looking down at her hooves. "Oh! But I was going to investigate... but I don't think I could possibly go into the forest by myself..."
"Well, luckily we're here to help!" Rainbow Dash flew up bravely. "Right Twilight?"
"I don't know... whatever it was, it could be dangerous. Though, once Princess Celestia finds out about this, she would probably want us to investigate anyways. I'm thinking we should tell the others before we go into the forest."
"Ugh... fine. I mean it couldn't be that bad, we've been to the Everfree Forest before!" Rainbow Dash complained as she sat on the ground. "I really really wanted to see what that was though! You saw how fast that thing was flying, right?"
"Well... I don't know... I don't think it could've been a Pony or animal. No pony could've survive crashing into my chimney at that speed." Fluttershy said a tad bit worried. "Anyways, I agree with Twilight. Waiting for the others sounds like the best plan of action."
"Well... gee... thanks for ruining my mood." Rainbow grumbled.
