AN:-HAVE YOU GUYS SEEN DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE MOVIE? IF NOT... THEN GO THE FUCK AND SEE IT, IT IS A MASTERPIECE OF A MOVIE... ANYWAYS,HOPE YOU ENJOY Chapter 5.
[PREVIOUSLY ON GAR PIECE]
"From what I understood, Crocodiles have Contingencies upon consciousness of plans. so, if one of them fails... how much are you willing to bet that he wouldn't have put a plan in motion... in case he lost?" I rember the bomb that almost blew Alabasta to bits... if Pell, one of Arabasta's Royal Kingdom's guards didn't clutch up.
"huh?" he looks at in confusion... and I sigh. i explain it in layman's terms and-
THEN WHAT SHOULD WE DO???" he grabs my shoulder and shakes it rigorously... and i sigh... again.
"I... Might have a Plan."
'Quest.' i call out to the recent quest that i got, while walking with-
Luffy, Zoro and Chopper.
HEROIC QUEST

The mont I explained my plan to the crew, I gained this quest... and if my plan works out perfectly, then this is easy money... though-
'I still don't know how... quests are ford.' while i theorize that either Gaia of this planet... or the God Who dropped here are giving Quests... I could identify what the hidden quests were by the rewards. the more life i save from being split in his war... the more EXP i gain. not only that, but the other two Hidden missions-
"When are we gonna reach the Rainbase?" Luffy starts whining behind , i look at him.... then at the Map that Nami gave ... along with the map that i have.. we have been walking across this desert for half a day... to reach our destination-
RainBase... where Crocodile is.
The team has been split for the ti being though.
[FLASHBACK]
"I... Might have a Plan."
"what is it?" Luffy, who is still holding my shoulder, continues shaking... i get disoriented... but Nami cos in clutch. hitting Luffy in the head to let him leave my shoulder... I composed myself in a second and looked at the group.
"so.... what's the plan?" Zoro asks , his eyebrow raised... I shrug.. deciding to give a simple answer.
"Divide and conquer." i... try to be mysterious... trying to lighten the mood by being Mysterious and all, trying to annoy them... but, Sanji Figures what I am saying instantly.
"so, you want to Stop the Crocodile.... and Stop the rebellion from happening? at the sa ti?" I gave Sanji an annoyed look, but then... I nod, but before I could complete what I was about to say, I got interrupted.
"how are we supposed to do that? you just said there might be spies in Both the rebel army AND the royal army... how could we stop the rebels if we cannot convince them?" Usopp starts firing questions, but before I could answer, Nami Interjects.
"Not only that, how are we gonna stop Crocodiles from knowing? what if he expected it... and already made plans for it?" it seems Dumping on Vivi kinda opened their eyes to how smart Crocodile is... and Nami being the Smartest of the group, imdiately figures out that, there might be plans that they... can't even guess about.. which is true-
they couldn't possibly guess that Crocodile would have wanted to blow Alubarna, the city which Vivi and Her family resides in, with a bomb.
"Would the Rebel leader even trust us? since we... don't have 'proof'!" Zoro uses my own words.... let... Talk.
"now, as i was saying, before i got interrupted-" i look at Usopp, Nami, Sanji and Zoro-
"We can split ourselves into two teams... one team goes to Where Crocodile is, while the other goes to Where the rebel army is. while team 1 handles Crocodile and his cronies, Team 2 can try to stop the rebel army from moving to war." Again, they still have their doubts, and it's Vivi who asks them.
"well.... how do we 'prove' that we are telling the truth?" her tone is... kinda vindictive... makes sense... Since I kinda poured water on her 'great' plan to stop blood shed..
"well... we beat people up!" I shrug at her... and this seems to make her snap... she grabs my Collar and starts shaking it vigorously...
"THAT'S WHAT I DON'T WANT... WHY THE HELL CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT-" i grab her hand and... try to yank it, but her physical strength is superior to ... which kinda hurts my Manly pride to be honest... but, i try to push her away... which finally works as she lets go when she sees resisting her hold.
" I understand it...BUT....we... are pirates." It seems Vivi doesn't understand what I am saying... since her Angry face is still there.. and by other's reaction, even they are confused.... except Zoro, who figured it out it seems.
"Wha-" not only Zoro, but Nami... Sanji and Usopp figured it out... and they say at the sa ti-
"""You want us to beat the Spies in the rebel army, don't you?""" I grin... finally, soone understands... except Luffy, who just stares at in confusion, but not saying anything...
"Bingo... we go there, beat so people up, regardless if they are spies or not, and once we hit soone hard enough to get us so proof, YOU can convince your rebel friend to stop the war... After that, with the help of the rebel army, beat the shit out of all the spies in the rebel army... and then, bring the forces to the Royal Palace... where you do the sa procedure... beating the shit out of people until the spy is revealed." Vivi's eyes widen, but then it turns to worry... most probably on the thought of using violence on her people..
"but... we would have to-" I sigh loudly... acting annoyed at her.. while I completely understand her perspective... since she thinks of the people in her country as her own people and family... it must hurt to get to know that her friends would be beating them up... but, i need her to... think about the lives that could be saved... All that needs to be done is for so people to have so Swollen asses.
"it's either they get so swollen asses, or they die...your choice" i look at her, giving her only two options... and before she could even reply, Luffy speaks up.
"no worries... I'll kick Crocodile's ass in revenge for those people's....Swollen ass." Luffy grins... and I chuckle for a bit, the sentence is so stupid that it made laugh... my sense of humor is bad as it is.. not including stupid humor.
HEROIC QUEST HAS BEEN CREATED-
[FLASHBACK ENDS]
after that, it was rely a decision for who to be in which team... since i made the plan, i was given the decision to split up the crew ( by luffy ofcourse) So-
Team 1 Consists Of Luffy, Zoro, Chopper and.....
Team 2 Consists of Nami,Usopp,Sanji and Vivi.
with basic navigation instructions from both Nami and Vivi, Team 1 Leaves Yuba.... with taking them to Rainbase, since according to NAmi, I am the smartest in Team 1 apparently, and then one with the most sense.. Getting praised by Nami is a plus in my book... though, i...can't think of her the sa as i did when i watched the ani.. since, she is 18 currently, and i am 24... that would be weird AF...
though, with team 1 continuing trekking to Rainbase... i Check the Skill Box i have gotten while clearing my second Quest.
YOU HAVE ACQUIRES A CUSTOM SKILL BOX, WOULD YOU LIKE TO OPEN IT?
Y/N

'Fuck Yeah!!' i grin... this shit is gonna make level up much faster-
"why are you grinning?" Zoro looks at like i am crazy, i look back at him, after snapping back to my senses... and i think for an answer, and that's when-
DUE TO THE SURROUNDING CONDITION, YOU HAVE GAINED THE SKILL
HEAT RESISTANCE - PASSIVE - (Lv1) (EXP - 0%)
DESCRIPTION:-
This Skill allows the user to be highly resistant to extre heat, able to perform tasks without worry and withstand burning temperatures.
"well.... it's so hot out here... i just thought i saw so... naked girls dancing." I smile at him, acting like nothing is happening...
this skill, Heat resistance might have been given to due to the current heat i am suffering from.. in Yuba, there wasn't this much heat... but now-
"....man... you are a weird one, just like that love cook." Zoro looks at ... with disgust for a second before sighing with disappointnt and looking ahead-
FAVORABILITY DECREASED WITH ZORO
"a-are.... y-you... a-alri-ght?" Chopper calls out, trying to check up on , even though he looks like he will collapse from the heat.... so i decide to help him-
*SPLASH*
"Ahhh" Chopper sighs in relief while I splash so water on top of him to cool him... thankfully, i stored so gallons of water from Yuba before we departed...
"How are you feeling?" I ask Chopper, who sighs in... despair, now that the relief of cold water is gone... he just... nods.
"I am okay... what about you.... uh.." He looks at confused, and a little sorry... and then i realize-
"It's Rai.... Rai Adam. You are Chopper right?" I extended my hand for a handshake, realizing that I hadn't... properly introduced myself to the entire crew... except Luffy.. Chopper, who is in his Walk Point, Chopper changes to his Brain Point... and Shakes my hand... nervously.
"y-yeah..." he is a little shy, which makes sense since according to what i rember, Chopper is 15 right now. I grin at him, trying to make him feel comfortable with .
"Devil Fruit eh? Which One?" After removing my hand from his, we continued walking, and I made small talk.
"Uh....It's Hito-Hito No Mi..." He changes back to Walk Point and walks next to ... Interested in talking to , while Luffy and Zoro are in front of us, focusing On reaching RainBase as fast as possible.
"Oh.... Which Model?" Chopper looks Confused... And he asks what I an.
"Well, Since Your Devil Fruit is Zoan, each Zoan has different types of Model of the Sa Fruit Na... For example, There is a Zoan Fruit nad The Dog Dog Fruit, but it has variations... Like Dog Dog Fruit:- Model Wolf, Or Dog Dog Fruit:- Model Jackal... Since Wolf and Jackal are similar to Dogs, they co under the sa Na, but different Models." Chopper looks surprised and interested... Since this might be the first ti soone might actually explain how Zoan Fruits like his would work.
"And Like Yours, there are other people With Human - Human Fruit... Like Sengoku, The Fleet Admiral of the Marines is also a Human- Human Fruit user... Though, His model is Daibutsu... Or Buddha, which allows him to grow into a Golden Giant." Chopper has stars in his eyes... Especially knowing that there is so other dude out there that has the sa series of fruit as him-
"WAIT WHAT??? A GOLDEN GIANT?" Luffy, who was eavesdropping on my explanation without much interest, imdiately Jumps and forces into the Conversation to ask about the Golden Giant... Which would make sense, since Luffy Would have Interest in Giants, especially Since He t Dorry and Brogy, Giants From Elbaf who are stuck in an Eternal Duel for over 100 Years for their Pride..
"Well, Kinda... It's Just that He is still a normal Human... But due to his devil fruit, He Expands Himself and gets Bigger to the point of Looking like a Giants." Even though this kinda puts Damper on Luffy's mood... He perks up about sothing...
"Expands?" He looks at in Confusion, and I decide to Indulge him.. rembering His Own...Giant Form, as Well as His Pseudo-Giant from, Naly Gear 3.
"Well, he...Bloats Himself to the size of a Giant... Not only that, by Swinging his Arms around, He can Generate Shockwaves That Could Level Mountains..." I might be Glazing Sengoku, But He was Kinda Aweso In The Ani, especially when He Overpowered Blackbeard by using Shockwaves-
"Bloats....huh?" Luffy turns back to look at the road with a... Complicated look? Like he is thinking about sothing-
'No way!' Holy shit... Is he thinking what I am thinking? Is he... OMG!! He is gonna create Gear 3 Right here? FUCK YEAH! THAT'S WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT-
GAR'S MIND HAS BEEN ACTIVATED
Well... No point in getting excited...Even though He might Get Gear 3 this early on, it will still Negatively affect him... Since he hasn't Mastered Gear 3 before The Tiskip, So the Gum-Gum fruit will still Limit-
Wait... It's Hito-Hito Fruit... Not the Gumu-Gumu Fruit.. but Luffy thinks that it is the Gumu-Gumu Fruit due to Shanks telling him-
.....Maybe?
"Since we are on the topic of Devil Fruits, Hey Luffy, What's Your Devil Fruit?" I calm myself down to properly think about what I am gonna do... If I lead this conversation to... Where I want it to, I might reveal that his devil fruit na might not be what he thinks it is... Then-
"Mine?... It's Gumu Gumu No Mi... I am a Rubber Man.." Luffy stops contemplating whatever he is contemplating and stretches his cheek... Showing his stretchy Capabilities....
Should I? Should I reveal his Devil Fruit's Na? Just... What will happen because of it-
Fuck it-
"Gumu-Gumu?.... that's..." I look at him in confusion... Or at least I am acting in front of him-
DUE TO REPEATED ACTIONS, SKILL HAS BEEN ACQUIRED

DESCRIPTION:-

"Yeah...why? What happened?" Luffy is more integrated with what I am gonna say than before... I... Look at him with doubt... Or at least act like I am looking at him with Doubt.
SKILL HAS BEEN ACTIVATED
"Well... The Na... Gumu-Gumu.... Doesn't Exist... At Least in the older Books." If I rember correctly, Vegapunk revealed this Information In Front of the StrawHats.. so if I use his words... I might be able to-
"What do you an?" Luffy... Stops and stares at ... Not in confusion.. but surprised...
"Well, there exists in the world sothing called Devil Fruit Encyclopaedia.. which has all data collected on Devil Fruits throughout the years.. and in the older Encyclopaedia, There is... No ntion of The Devil Fruit Nad... Gumu-Gumu.." Luffy Looks... Shocked... Like, he cannot believe what is happening... It's a similar reaction to him learning That Nami betrayed Him in the Arlong Arc, except... He isn't Pissed this ti around.
"Wait... Shanks Told that it was the Gumu-Gumu- '' i cut him off before he could continue... Shanks is a suspicious Character in the world of One piece.. and while I can't say that out loud ( I do not want Luffy to beat my ass ) , what I can do.. is try to Make Shanks be wrong.. or atleast Shanks being Clueless about it.
"Shanks?... As in Red Hair Shanks? The Yonko?" I act surprised... But in reality, all I am thinking about are answers that I wanna give Luffy to make him understand.
"Uhh... I don't know what a Yonko is.. but Yeah. when I ate the devil Fruit... He told that it was Gumu-Gumu No Mi and... That I was a Rubber Human and had lost my ability to swim at sea.." I act to think... While Vegapunk Revealed Luffy as a God... I can't do that, since Luffy hasn't Unlocked Gear 5 yet, aning I can't Convince him about it based on resemblance... And not only that-
"You said it was not there on the Older Encyclopaedia... What about the Newer Ones?" Zoro finally Joins the conversation.. and asks a pretty smart question... That bumps ... Since if I answer it, it might make them shrug it off-
Eh... Whatever.
"Well, yes.. the newer Encyclopaedia has it... BUT... Devil fruits have existed since The Void Century, so there might be no way... That the World Governnt didn't Register it." While I know What Zoro was gonna imply, I do try to defend my argunt... But unfortunately, Zoro just... Shrugs, and continues walking... Making this Conversation finished...Luffy also turns his back and walks.. and-
I got an idea..
"Hey Luffy... Your 'Gumu-Gumu No Mi' gives you rubber-like properties right?" Luffy turns back to and... nods, while Zoro looks back in...annoyance at where I am going with this... But I decided to just not drag this matter any long.
I am gonna say it.
"I just rembered. There was a devil fruit, which gave the Sa Properties as you... But had a different na... I think that might be the one you ate.." he looks at , still confused... But shrugs, deciding to Enlighten .
"What is it?" I look directly into his eyes... And with as much as conviction as possible, say the Na-
"Hito-Hito No Mi - Model :- Nika." That na-
Just confuses Luffy.
"Hito Hito? Like the sa one Chopper has?" I.. nod, kinda disappointed with the la reaction... but it's so... Luffy... even Canon Luffy wouldn't care much about his Devil Fruit's na... nor if he is a god or not...
Luffy turns back to continue his thought process... while I just stay silent... giving up at this point... since, what is gonna be the use of it now, what is he gonna achieve from knowing the true na of his devil fruit?... Nothing, that's what... though, Chopper seems excited... and he starts asking questions.. about Zoans and in general, How devil fruits affect peoples.
I give my honest answer... making sure to give no spoilers... eventually, the sun goes down... and we decide to set up camp.... since Vivi did tell us that it would take a whole day for us to reach Rainbase by foot... I summoned the materials by tricking them as magic tricks and set up the camp needed for us to rest.
while in the ani and manga, they show the characters reaching their destination with few scenes on how they traveled... here, in this new life... I had to walk to the point of exhaustion.... i also increased my Stat and Skills by so amount-
VIT - 44 (3 Points due to increase in Stamina)
HP - 860
OBSERVE -ACTIVE- (Lv11) (EXP- 22.2%)
SAND WALKING -PASSIVE- (Lv21) (EXP- 17.6%)
With this... we finally decide to rest... basically, I have beco their storage boy of so sorts... since Sanji basically gave all of the food, as well as all the necessary essentials to ...
"Luffy, How are you... gonna defeat Crocodile?" Chopper raises a... pretty smart question... makes sense, since he is in his Brain Point right now... Luffy just shrugs.
"I am gonna kick his ass... that's all there is to it." Luffy tells Chopper about this Confidently... but... He is kinda doubtful.. since he is new to the crew and all.. but he wisely keeps his mouth shut...I don't though... i know exactly how the fight is gonna end... and if i want my Plan to succeed, then...Luffy Needs to win in Round 1.. and for that, he needs to Know Crocodile's weakness.
"Do you know... what Crocodile's Devil fruit is?" while i am 100% he doesn't... i just need to-
"He has a devil fruit?" Luffy looks at with Surprise... and I almost facepalm... this is worse than I thought... I need to.. let him know his weakness... but I Know Luffy would not take my help... I need to do sothing... i look down, trying to think-
Sand.
"Luffy... can you do a stupid request of mine?'' Knowing Luffy, Explanation is not gonna work... so, I need to demonstrate it to him... while making it seem that it is just a favor... and as I wanted, Luffy accepts... I take a handful of sand underneath my legs and tell him what to do.
"I want you... to punch this handful of sand... after I throw it... please?" I see Luffy about to question why? but before he can... I throw the handful of sand upwards... and thankfully, it falls down rather than getting swept away by the desert wind...
Luffy has no ti to question why, since he decided to accept my Request... He throws a punch at the sand... which causes the sand to sprinkle off his hand and fall back to the ground... grain by grain...
what is this-'' before he could question more... I grab the sa hand he threw a punch with, and sprinkle so water, making his hand wet... before he could object with it, I pick another handful of sand... and throw it upwards..
"Now, punch it again... with the sa hand." i imdiately say to him... and as Expected...Luffy tries to punch the sand again... and as the sa happens as previously... but before Luffy could voice his objection... I started talking.
"You know? Sand gets dissolved when coming into contact with Water? or just any liquid in fact can Dissolve Sand... and make it disappear..." and then i look at Chopper, who... like Luffy and Zoro... are completely Confused...
"Oi Chopper... Blood is also a form of Liquid right?" Chopper looks extrely confused right now... but still, he decides to answer... since this is his domain anyways..
"Uhh... Yeah. Blood is made up of liquid and solids. The liquid part, called plasma, is made of water- "I cut Chopper off, since he said exactly what I wanted...Luffy to hear..
"What Nonsense are you even talking about?" Zoro speaks up, looking at as if i am crazy... and it might seem like that to him... since in his perspective, i grin while imagining naked won dancing, asking questions that... are so stupid that Luffy looks Smart... and Has random Conversation that Doesn't have any aning.
"nothing... it's just.. i am thinking about how all this sand... just Disappears by so amount of rain... the Dance Powder or whatnot, stopped it, If the Rain Continued, The Sand in this Country might be reduced by a lot." I Explain myself... smiling at Luffy the entire ti... who has a confused expression on his face... before shrugging and-
"OI... THAT'S MY AT!" Zoro Jumps at Luffy to take back the at that Luffy Stole from Zoro just now...
"uh...Guys... Please Calm Down-" Chopper goes in front to stop them.. but gets dragged into a fist fight by Both Zoro and Luffy, who are fighting for the at... i just laugh seeing this tomfoolery right now.
THE NEXT DAY
"this is where Crocodile is..huh?" Luffy looks at the City we just arrived, Rainbase... in Contemplation... I then... clap-
"Okay guys... we each have a role here... this team was ford with our Heavy Hitters in mind... so, you 3 focus on causing as much ruckus as Possible to lure Crocodile out to be the "hero" he portrays himself to be." i give them a thumbs up... expecting them to... go on their way, but-
"What about you?"Zoro looks at ... and to be honest... I don't really know why... I kinda tagged along with Team 1 since I did not wanna handle the Task of Convincing anyone... so, i look at the place we have Arrived and-
"The Casino.... so that I can earn Money, Y'know?" I shrug... but this does not Convince Zoro... at all.. He sighs... and then starts Walking... with Chopper and Luffy-
"SHI!! SHI!!!" Luffy runs to the nearest restaurant.... and both Chopper and Zoro follow him, while i walk towards the Casino... since i am gonna steal so money when the chaos Begins...
Honestly, The plan is simple... Make Chaos in the city... make Crocodile co out, with whover agents he currently has... and let Zoro,Luffy and Chopper go wild... and if there is any interference... which mostly might be Ms All-Sunday... A.K.A Nico Robin....
All I have to do is make a deal with her.... regarding the Poneglyphs... and she will easily co to our side... since she eventually betrays Crocodile anyways... who also betrays her... there are no other Complications that I rember.
i Enter the Casino... and go straight to the front desk to talk about the in- and-outs of this Casino... the rules, regulations... and stuff like that, waiting for the Chaos to start....And i Wait... and Wait...And Wait-
*BOOM*
'FInally!' the plan is set in motion... and as expected, The people in the Casino, including the Employees start running to the exit... i go to the Coin Counter, where the Coins which are won during the Casino Gas are used to gain Money... the Counter seems to have a Lottery Kinda machine... where you insert the coin in it, and Money Will Flow out of it-
'i don't have Coins anyways.' I just... put those lottery machines in my inventory, not caring about how much they weigh... i do the sa for all the Coin Machines... and-
