Luffy in Equestria

Chapter 31 - I Trust You! The Fight for our Friends begin!

Luffy, Sanji, and Zoro stared at Gilda, who was heavily injured. Fluttershy was holding her tightly with eyes of pure shock. As she looks at her hoof, she can see the blood that came from her griffon companion.

"G-Gilda… A… Are you… Alright…?"

"Sky Walk!"

Sanji jumped to the griffons with two flaming hind legs. He kicked every one of them to a searing pulp. No one was left with an easy beating, as they were simmered to even having their skins burned through their feathers. After he finished, he left the tower allowing Luffy's pre pumped hoof and Zoro with his katana in hand to handle the rest.

"Gomu Gomu no Elephant Gun!"
"Kokujo: O Tatsumaki" (Black Rope Dragon Twister!)

Punch demolished the tower and anyone inside of it. The griffons were given no break as the tornado came in to further punish whoever was inside of it by slicing them up. The airship rumbled as the chaos of the front ensued. The trio lands on the floor and goes to Fluttershy and Gilda. As they did, Gilda coughed and breathed heavily.

"Gilda! You're alright!" She said in happiness as she embraced her bloody friend.

"That was close!" Luffy sighed as well.

"Looks like she needs medical treatment too." Zoro pointed out. "We better get Chopper to check on her."

"Let's go get them then!" Sanji demanded. "I'm not gonna forgive those bastards for how they treat a lady!"

"Wait, hold on…!" Gilda said to them, getting their attention. "Listen… The ship is in the air itself… If you break everything, it's gonna fall… and if that happens before you reach your friends, they'll be capsized…"

Luffy nodded, understanding the situation. "Alright then. We won't break it until we get them out."

Gilda grinned as Zoro and Sanji glared at the opponents ahead of them. Luffy joined them as well as he said, "But it doesn't mean that I'm not gonna kick all their asses!"

"Everyone…!" Fluttershy squealed. "I… I don't think we can go on like this…!"

Everyone was silent. Sanji flicked a cigarette out and lit it for a smoke while Zoro simply stared at her. Luffy gritted his teeth before saying, "What do you mean?!"

"Gilda's too injured… We won't be able to get back like this…! I'm just so afraid of what will happen…!"

Luffy's expression was blank. He obviously didn't like what he was hearing, yet showed no obvious response. He then stepped closer and closer to Fluttershy as she continued to whimper.

"I'm sorry, but we can't-"

Suddenly, Luffy took off his prized straw hat and placed it on Fluttershy's head. She stays still having no idea of what to say. Luffy however simply replies to everything she says.

"We're gonna be fine, and bring back everyone! So stop being such a baby!"

Sanji and Zoro grinned while Gilda thought to herself, That's a comforting way to say it. Fluttershy was simply standing in place as Luffy and the others went on ahead. He then tells her, "Keep an eye on Gilda! We'll be back!"

Fluttershy placed her hoof on the straw hat and pulled it down. Tears were streaming down as she sat next to the injured Gilda.


Chaos was raining down on the Sunny as it was striving to sail the mystical winds. Griffons continued to rain down with no mercy against the passengers of the Sunny. Doing their best to fight them off, Nami takes the wheel while everyone fights off the attackers. Twilight does her best to use her pyro spells in hopes to catch up to Robin, Franky, and Brook's level. Rarity was the damsel in distress, constantly being saved by Brook.

"Are you alright Rarity?" He asks.

She giggles as she replies, "Yes, I am now. Thank you, truly are a gentlemen."

"That warms my heart… though I don't have one. Yohohoho, Skull Joke!"

"This ain't the time for that!" Applejack remarked.

Twilight tried her best, but was soon attacked by too many at a time. Luckily Robin came in to help. She crosses her arms and summons a massive group of hands.

"Mil Fleur"

Once they all formed, the big hand was formed. The griffons stop in place, hesitating to go against them. It was too late to get away however.

"Slap!"

Wiping out the group of griffons, Twilight receives the time to rest for a bit. Robin places her hand on her shoulder and asks, "Twilight, are you alright?"

"Yes…" She replied. "I'm sorry I can't keep up with all of you…"

"What do you mean?"

"I can't do what it takes to help as much as everypony else." Twilight admitted. "I don't have the strength or weapons like everypony else does."

"Twilight…" Rarity muttered.

"You gotta admit." Applejack said to her. "Unlike you, she's actually getting her hooves dirty. We all gotta do our part Rarity."

"Applejack is right." Robin says while petting Twilight's mane. "We all have to do our part. Just know that…" With hands blooming out from the ground, they bring in a bag. Robin opens it and takes out a spell book that she had bought earlier. "We do what we can. You do things we can't, and we'll do things you can't."

She hands Twilight the book for her to use. Robin gives a motherly smile as Twilight nods in agreement. She opens the book and widens at the number of various spells.

"There's so many!" Twilight stated. "Let's try…"

Looking up to the griffons soaring like vultures, Twilight shines her horn. instead of fire, it was simply the same aura of her levitation. But instead of holding objects, it was shaped into a sphere. Twilight aimed upwards before releasing the energy.

"Fireworks!"

With the pizzazz of flare taking care of the sky, Twilight trembles for a moment before getting caught by Robin.

"Twilight?"

"Sorry, but new spells make me feel fuzzy, so…" she smiled slightly with a giggle. "I might need more time to practice."

"It looks like you got all of them." Applejack pointed out.

"That was SUPER amazing!" Franky complimented her.

Twilight blushed before Nami warned the crew, "It's not over yet! I see another one… Except…"

"Except… what?" Rarity questioned.

"I never seen one so big before!" Nami stated.

The crew looked upon the griffon the size of a sea king. It flew at a small height, just nearly above the water. It's speed was rushing in like a rocket, ready to pierce right through the Sunny. As it came close, Franky readied his arms together and aimed to the side.

"Coup de Vent!"

The pressure pushed the ship away from the attack. The griffon however turned and attacked the Sunny from the back. Twilight and Rarity used their magic to push the Sunny again, but the griffon was coming at an even faster speed. Deciding that it was too late, Twilight looks over to Applejack and says, "AJ! Kick him away from the ship!"

Applejack stares at Twilight for a moment, then turns to the speeding griffon. She looks at Twilight with terrified eyes as she said, "HAVE YOU LOST IT!?"

"Trust me! I found another spell that'll help you!"

Applejack nodded with hesitation before running to the back of the ship with Twilight. As it came close, Applejack got ready to jump. Twilight's horn shot an invigorating magic around Applejack's hind legs. As it came close, the orange mare sprung into the air with her legs kicking out. Right upon impact, Twilight activated the spell.

"Rodeo Buck!"
"Impact Plus!"

The extraordinary blow managed to push the griffon to the side, right where Applejack was kicking him. The Sunny was safe as the griffon flew by without even grazing the ship. Robin and Rarity came to see Twilight had fainted and Applejack was in the water.

"Twilight!" Robin called as she checked on her. "Are you alright?"

"Eh heh… Just a bit tired…" Twilight replied. "These are advanced offensive spells, so I'll end up draining my energy much faster…"

Rarity levitated Applejack out of the water. When placed on the ground, she tightly held her leg in pain. Twilight and Robin took notice.

"Applejack! What's wrong?" Rarity questioned.

"I think I pulled something when I kicked him!" Applejack groaned.

"The spell should have protected you from the impact too!" Twilight stated.

"That sounds like the impact dial." Nami stated as she same downstairs to them.

"Impact Dial?" Rarity repeated.

"Dials are used to do all sorts of things depending on their type." Nami explained. "The spell you used sounds like the Impact Dial we found in Skypiea. Though the people up there can use it much better than we can, the impact dial still hurts us when we use it in comparison."

"The spell might have been used for stronger beings and not just any pony." Robin inquired.

"Oh my gosh! Applejack! I'm so sorry!" Twilight apologized.

"It's fine Twilight." She assured her. "At least we're in the clear now."

"Not quite." Franky told them. "The big griffon is still trying to get up."

"What!?" Rarity screamed before swooning over. "Is this where our journey ends!?"

"AAAH! I DON'T WANT TO DIE YET!! Oh, but I already died. Yohohohoho" Brook joked.

"I don't think Applejack can do it again." Twilight stated. "And I don't have enough magic to do it again."

"It's okay Twilight!" Franky assured her. "Thanks to you, I had enough time to ready our secret weapon!"

"Secret… Weapon?" Twilight, Rarity, and Applejack repeated.


On the command bridge, the general stands before the glass, allowing him to see the grounds of his ship as well as the destroyed tower just miles away from him. He strokes his long beard as he says, "Well, this is quite troubling. We have something worse than ponies… Rats…"

The minotaur came in with his gigantic iron sword attached to his belt. "Shall I handle the problem?"

"Get Dolkin to aid you as well." The general orders.

"Yes sir." Dolkin responded. It was a griffon with buggy eyes and a strange beak curving upwards. He passes the general and says, "I'll have my squad out immediately."

"Good. Mino! I leave you to guard the prison."

"Yes sir."

"I'll handle Straw Hat myself."

"No! No! No!" Another griffon complained as he walked in. "Father! I want to get Straw Hat! I want to make him pay for what he's done!"

The general looked at his son with a quick glance. He grinned before allowing him to proceed. "Yes, of course son. Now go prove your worth!"

"Yes Father!"

The three left with quick haste. The general strokes his long beard as he says, "You won't escape this time Straw Hat. Your head will be mine!"


As Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji bashed through the griffons, they got the army running with their tails between their legs. The never thought they'd fear just three creatures, especially within the fact that they weren't even that big. But their brutality was just too much. Cuts, bruises, and being burned in just seconds were enough to kill off their morale.

"What in Equestria ARE they!?" One wondered.

"They're monsters!" One answered. "There's no other explanation!"

"Who cares!? Just run!!"

Luffy kept running after the escapees and readied his technique.

"Gomu Gomu no Gatling Gun!"

Dozens of hits were pelted at the griffons, and those who were launched into the air were open for Sanji to kick back down.

"Poêle à Frire: Spectre!"

Grilling the birds, Sanji gives another hard kick to throw the griffons off the deck. Zoro positioned his three swords and slashed the air, causing a cut to ride through the air. The massive burst slices through the griffons ahead.

"Senhachiju Pound Ho!" (1080 Caliber Phoenix!)

Many of the griffons fell in exhaustion and in defeat. They were practically crying as Luffy cracked his hooves.

"How can he even crack his hooves!?" One of them questioned. "Ponies can't do that!"

Meanwhile from just above the battle, Dolkin was flying with his squad. He was heading towards the front of the ship to cut them off from getting back.

"Their yellow pegasus and griffon traitor companions must be their way back." Dolkin thought. "Once I capture them, they'll have no choice but to surrender."

The three however were able to sense Dolkin's presence and his plan to assault Fluttershy and Gilda. Sanji lights his cigarette and looks at Dolkin and his team.

"I'll handle them." He told the two.

With a quick jump to the air, he stepped along the winds to his foes.

"Sky Walk!"

After Sanji cuts off the squad, Dolkin gets slammed to the ship with a lethal kick from Sanji. The squad were surprised as Sanji then gets on the head on one of the griffons. With his forelegs on the head, Sanji spun with his hind legs in attacking position.

"Party Kick Course!"

Wiping out all of the griffons, including the one he was on, they fall onto the ship as Dolkin rises from his crater. He glares at Sanji, landing near Luffy and Zoro. He grits his teeth as he says, "How… Dare you…"

"Whoa! What's up with his face!?" Luffy questioned.

Dolkin dropped his jaw, insulted by what he heard.

"I never seen a bird with a beak like that before…" Zoro stated.

Dolkin lowered his head in shame with tears rolling down his face.

"Is he crying?" Sanji wondered.

"No! I'm not crying!" Dolkin retorted. "Darn you! How'd you know I was above you!?"

"Whoa! His eyes are so big and watery!" Luffy pointed out.

"So he was crying." Zoro concluded.

"Shut up! How dare you insult me casually! Do you know who I am!?"

"No." The three said simultaneously.

"I am Dolkin! The most revered Griffon Hunter in Equestria! Do you think you can match my skills in combat?"

"Hell yeah I can!" Luffy said as he got in a fighting stance. Sanji held out his hoof to stop him however.

"I already told you, I got this." Sanji assured Luffy. He turns to Dolkin and says, "Besides, I'm not going to forgive you for what you were planning on doing to those ladies."

"Such a nobleman, aren't you?" Dolkin taunted as he dashed forward. "Well let's see if you can handle my talons of might!"

The talons clashes with Sanji's hind leg, augmented in Busoshoku Haki. The talon tightens around Sanji's leg, restraining movements to his shin. Realizing how hard the grip was, Sanji knew he had to get him off. He lifts him into the air and slams him back to the ground, making him release. As Dolkin got up, Sanji looked at Zoro and Luffy saying, "What are you waiting for!? Go get the others!"

"Oh! Right! Come on Zoro!" Luffy complied.

After Luffy and Zoro left, Sanji and Dolkin were back into the fight. Dolkin jumped and flew at Sanji, only to miss as Sanji jumped into the air.

"Grill Shot!"

A shot of flame sprits the floor, missing Dolkin as he manages to dodge. Dolkin flies up to Sanji in attempts to grab him from the air. Sanji simply ran up the sky to evade Dolkin's attack. The battle then took the air with Sanji firing pellets of fire with his heated kicks as he dodged Dolkin's talons. However, at one point, Dolkin managed to grab his leg again and dive back down to the ship.

"Damn it!" Sanji cursed as he was brought back down by Dolkin.

"Now you're gonna get it!" Dolkin teased. As they reached the ground, he slammed Sanji onto the wooden deck.

"Victim Hammer!"

Sanji was sent right through the ship, piercing through all the floors until he was below the ship. after realizing Sanji was flying out of the ship, he quickly stepped onto the air again and went back inside. He took a quick breath after reaching the bottom floor of the ship through the hole he made.

"Using Sky Walk takes more energy in this body…" Sanji said to himself. "I didn't think I'd use it so much… If I was in my normal body, I'd be able to take him down faster than this…!"

He sighed as he threw away his old cigar and lights another. "This pony crap is getting to me. But I guess I'll have to make do with what I have."

Shooting himself with an impressive jump, he meets up with Dolkin on the deck, who was waiting for him. Dolkin smiled.

"I knew you wouldn't die that easily." He snarled.

"You just wait." Sanji rebutted. "I'm about to kick in your ugly face."

Dolkin lowered himself and cried, "W-Why would you say that!?"

"Don't cry over every little insult!" Sanji scolded.


As Luffy and Zoro make their way to the tower, another griffon with a smaller beard than the general, flies by. He scans the battlefield on the ship carefully, looking for Pony D. Luffy. As he looks around, he sees Luffy, but no Straw Hat. The griffon raises an eyebrow and says, Where is that pony?

As the griffon flies further, Luffy pauses to see him pass by.

"Who's that?" He wondered.

"Say goodbye!" The minotaur yelled as his massive sword went diving towards Luffy. Before it even made contact, Zoro blocked the attack with his three swords. Knocking back the attack, Zoro fends off against Mino from Luffy.

"Zoro!" Luffy called.

"You go on ahead! I'll handle this guy." Zoro replied.

"You think you can take me on?" The minotaur asked. "Don't make me laugh!"

After another sword slamming attack, Zoro pushes it to the side using two of his swords. He glanced at Luffy before saying, "Hurry and get them out!"

"Alright then! Thanks Zoro!" Luffy said gratefully before running off.

With Luffy gone, Zoro focused into battle against Mino. Luffy saw the tower before him, and was only yards away.

"Don't worry everybody! I'm coming!"

"Do you really think all of you are getting out of here alive?" Mino laughed. "This is where your rebellion ends! You along with all of your friends!"

"Don't count on it!" Zoro grinned menacingly as he uses a single sword. Placing it back in the sheath and wielding it brought on a cutting air towards Mino.

"Yakkodori!" (Bird Dance!)

The minotaur moves out of the way in time and the slash breaks a large portion of the ship. Zoro grunts at his mistake.

I forgot. If I break everything now, the ship will be destroyed and we won't be able to get the others out in time.

"Very impressive swordsman." Mino commended Zoro as he lifted his gigantic blade. "Now let's see if you can handle my technique!"

Mino slammed the sword onto the deck, shattering many parts of the ground. Zoro jumped out of the way in time and looked at the wreckage. He glared at Mino with a realization.

"No good. This guy will break the ship if I don't beat him quick." He took out his three swords and got into position. "I just need to make sure this doesn't get out of hand."


Luffy broke through the doors to the brig. He dashed through, making his way to the cage. Before he could however, another formidable foe stood in his way.

"Hello there Straw Hat." The general said before he noticed something. "Where's your hat?"

"Get out of my way!" Luffy demanded, still racing forward.

The general smiled as he punched to the floor, causing it to get slashed up. Luffy backed away from its range as it became a gaping hole. The two stared off with tension in the air. Luffy locked on to his foe as they were ready to do battle.

"My name is General Grim Stone. I will stop you and your team of rascals here."

"Move out of the way!" Luffy exclaimed once more.

"I don't think so. This is where you and your friends journey ends. I will see to it that you are either captured or killed."

Locked into battle of wits and limits, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji must rescue their friends while preventing the destruction of the ship until then, against General Grim Stone, Mino, and Dolkin. Down below, the crew on the Sunny must fight against the gigantic griffon before it capsizes the ship. Only time can tell what will happen next.
