Goa Kingdom, East Blue.
...
...
Lucy launched her attack with surprising agility, her arms extending through the sky like rubbery serpents in a fluid display of mastery over her Devil Fruit. Elastic patterns ford as she prepared for the characteristic move of the Gomu Gomu family.
"Gomu Gomu no..." she began to pronounce, her arms twisting like serpents seeking their prey. Tension in the air increased as she geared up for the final blow.
Luffy's expression was filled with joy and excitent as he witnessed his sister's unique ability. Her entry into this world brought a variety of changes, including the discovery that he now had a sister who also possessed a Devil Fruit, gifted by Shanks.
Once both arms were stretched backward, Lucy lunged forward in the air, Garp stepping back to give his granddaughter space to attack. "Bazooka!" she shouted, and her arms flew toward Luffy, who allowed himself to be enveloped by his sister's elastic embrace.
*BOOM!* The two hands exploded on Luffy's chest, causing him to recoil a few inches in the air, but nothing more. "Hey, Lucy. You got strong! HAHAHAHA!" Luffy laughed, his voice echoing through the skies as a testant to the unique connection between the Gomu Gomu siblings.
"Shishishishi, did you see? Hm?! HOT!" Lucy shouted, her hands burning after connecting with Luffy's skin.
"You little brat, don't you see he's made of flas? You have to be careful!" Garp growled at his foolish granddaughter.
"AIAIAIAIAIA, HOT, HOT, HOT!" Lucy comically scread in the sky, waving her hands in an exaggerated effort to cool off the heat.
"Lucy, you idiot..." Luffy comnted, watching his sister with a mix of amusent and concern, while noticing sothing peculiar.
"Lucy, did you learn to use Geppo?" Luffy asked, and Lucy stopped moving her hands at that mont to look at her brother before answering.
"Grandpa goes really hard, throwing on various islands for training..." she said but was interrupted by Garp's grumbling.
"It's for you to beco a powerful Marine, my granddaughter! I should have thrown Luffy into the jungle too, maybe he wouldn't have beco a pirate if I had been tougher!" Garp roared, and Luffy rolled his eyes at the familiar comnt.
"But anyway, about Geppo, I'm learning to use it, but I haven't mastered it yet..." Lucy said, scratching her head with an awkward smile.
"I see, but then, why are you up here?" Luffy casually asked.
"Well... Hm?!" Lucy finally realized she was suspended in the air above the vast ocean, her eyes widening in surprise.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Lucy began to scream when she realized she was falling.
Both Luffy and Garp slapped their own faces, almost in synchrony.
"Let get her." Luffy spoke, reverting his transformation to have only wings and quickly flew to rescue Lucy.
"Whew! I thought I was going to die today! Thanks, brother." Luffy brought her back, holding her by the waist to ensure her safety.
Luffy turned his gaze from his sister and addressed Garp, who was a few ters away.
"Grandpa, I have a hostage now!" He said cheerfully.
Both Garp and Lucy widened their eyes.
"A hostage..." Garp was stunned.
"This hostage, by any chance, is ?" Lucy asked, still stunned.
"Of course, I have my sister in my arms, an officer of the marines!" Luffy laughed, displaying a mischievous smile.
"GRANDPA, HELP! LUFFY KIDNAPPED ! HE'S GOING TO KILL ! HELP!" Lucy started shouting in desperation, making dramatic faces.
"You darn brat, let go of your sister!" Garp shouted, perplexed and annoyed by his grandson's prank.
'Hahahahahahaha. I had mories, but living with this family is so much fun,' Luffy thought, enjoying the madness around him.
"Okay, I'll let her go, but let talk to her first." Luffy spoke as he approached Lucy's ears.
*whisper*
"Hm? Are you sure, brother?" Lucy asked, looking at Luffy with curiosity.
*whisper*
"But grandpa won't like it... she's going to give those love punches!"
*whisper*
"WHAT ARE YOU KIDS TALKING ABOUT THERE!" Garp growled, impatient.
"I guess so, brother..."
"All right, Lucy. Stay safe." Luffy announced and in a theatrical gesture, comically leaned her body as if about to perform a special move. Then, with a playful smile, he tossed Lucy in the direction of the Black Pearl, creating a scene of lightness and fun amid the intense battle in the sky and sea.
"Hm?! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Lucy scread as she realized she was rapidly heading towards the ship and rembered that Luffy considered her a hostage. Lucy's expression quickly transford from initial joy at seeing her brother after months to a mix of shock and fear. Her eyes widened as she tried to process the sudden change of emotions, and her initial cries of joy turned into a mixture of alarm and confusion.
The crew, even amid the chaos of battle, watched with concern and curiosity at the cry in the sky as Lucy approached the Black Pearl. anwhile, Garp observed the situation with a mix of shock and irritation, unable to fully comprehend his grandson's carefree ntality in the midst of such a serious confrontation.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I'M GONNA DIE!" Lucy scread in fear as she descended through the air.
"Kid, where did you throw your sister?!" Garp asked, perplexed, eyes fixed on Luffy as he flew through the sky.
"Don't worry, grandpa. She'll be fine. Let's continue our fight." Luffy smiled at Garp, displaying confidence and determination.
"Enough of the gas, Luffy. Now you'll feel the love punches!" Garp shouted, promising an intensification in the battle.
"Bring it on, grandpa!" Luffy announced, preparing to face his grandfather's powerful punches.
As the fight resud in the skies, the Black Pearl was the target of an incessant barrage of cannon shots from all directions. However, the skilled crew of the ship executed precise maneuvers, skillfully dodging each cannonball, ensuring the efficient protection of the pirate ship amidst the chaos of battle.
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! NOW THAT I REMBER, I'LL BE FINE!" The crew heard a scream from the sky and saw a woman falling in their direction.
POP!
An elastic sound reverberated through the deck as she landed. Lucy, with a serious and determined expression, stood upright, showcasing her ability to handle dramatic falls. The crew, initially surprised, soon realized it wasn't an enemy attack.
"Who is this?!" Nami exclaid, not recognizing this intruder, while using her wind to protect the ship.
"An enemy attack?" Usopp shouted in alarm.
"Oh." Usopp eased, lowering his weapon.
The initial surprised expression was replaced by widened eyes as they noticed a woman dressed as a marine falling onto the deck in a strange manner. "Hm?! I'm fine! Shishishishishi. Good thing I'm made of rubber!" The strange woman quickly got up while scratching her head in celebration.
"Who are you?!" Zoro asked, brandishing his sword in a defensive stance, an aura of distrust hanging over the crew.
"A marine!" Nojiko answered suspiciously, noting her distinctive uniform.
"Nee... They decided to send soone..." Hachi muttered, analyzing the situation with a keen eye.
"She must be quite strong to co all the way here flying." Yamato comnted, watching the marine with a mix of curiosity.
Seeing the people around her with suspicion, Lucy displayed a smile and spoke for the first ti.
"Hm? Hey, are you pirates from Luffy's crew?!" The marine exclaid, interrupting the group's murmurs with an enthusiastic greeting.
"Marine-Sama, do you know Luffy-Sama?" Shirahoshi inquired with a mix of surprise and curiosity in her shy voice.
"Of course! He's my brother! Shishishishishi!" The girl laughed happily, revealing an unexpected connection.
"What?!" The Straw Hats' expressions ranged from surprise to disbelief at the surprising revelation.
"You're our captain's sister?!" Reiju exclaid, showing a mix of surprise and disbelief.
"It's Lucy, right? I heard Luffy talk about her in Foosha." Yamato recalled, connecting the pieces of the story.
"Incredible..." Bepo comnted, watching the newcor with fascination, while the crew absorbed the surprising revelation about Luffy's family.
"A bear!" Lucy exclaid with stars in her eyes.
"Sorry!"
"Shishishishishi! What a funny bear!"
"Luffy's sister is in the marines, how bizarre..." Hugo comnted.
"Don't forget that his grandpa is Garp!" Lami ntioned.
"So, no one's going to ask why she's on our ship when the captain is fighting in the sky with his grandpa?" Nojiko comnted, crossing her arms.
"Hey, can you guys stop arguing? We're being bombarded from all sides; I'm going to need help, or the ship will take severe damage!" Nami shouted, her voice cutting through the chaos as she struggled to protect the ship from the constant cannon shots.
Lucy, still a bit dazed, quickly recovered as she rembered sothing important.
"AHHHH!! Luffy told to warn you guys about sothing. He said to activate the ship's nitro, whatever that is, and said to launch it; he'll be back once the ship is in the air... What does he an by that..."
"I got it, leave it to !" Usopp responded quickly, running into the interior of the ship. Luffy had shared a lot of knowledge about the vessel with him and a few other mbers who had ship-related skills.
Luffy had implented the sa system that the Thousand Sunny had with cola, but here, it was activated by combustion, with a battery that could be charged by his flas.
anwhile, in the sky, Luffy wasn't having an easy ti; he was taking a beating from his grandfather.
"Darn it, these so-called love punches hurt a lot. Even turning back into my mythical zoan form, I still feel like I'm completely vulnerable."
"Hm? What expression is that, Luffy? Not enjoying your love punches?" Garp asked, scratching his nose provocatively.
"Grandpa, it was good fighting with you. I hope to see you in better shape next ti we et," Luffy said suddenly, making Garp raise an eyebrow in surprise.
"What do you an, brat? You can't escape my punches!" Garp replied, clenching his hands with determination.
"But, grandpa, dad is coming over there. I doubt you can fight both of us at the sa ti..." Luffy said, pointing with his finger behind Garp.
"What?! Dragon is here? How do you know your father!?" Garp quickly turned his body, searching for his son. However, he only found the empty ocean behind the Marine fleet.
"Luffy!! Hm?!" When he realized he had been tricked, he turned to face his mischievous grandson but saw only the empty space in front of him.
"Goodbye, grandpa! It was great seeing you!" Luffy's amplified voice echoed below him, reaching the deck of the Black Pearl.
"LUFFY, DO YOU THINK YOU CAN ESCAPE FROM YOUR GRANDPA?!" Garp shouted, determined not to let Luffy get away unpunished.
"I'm pretty sure I can, grandpa. It was nice seeing you, and thanks for the cookies!" Luffy showed a package in his hand, teasing Garp.
"My cookies?!" Garp quickly searched his pocket, realizing that they had been stolen by Luffy during the exchange of punches in the air.
During the heated exchange of blows between Luffy and Garp, the Pirate Captain showcased his skills not only in combat but also in his antics. While dodging powerful blows and the pressure from his grandfather, Luffy seized an opportunity to perform an agile and sneaky maneuver.
In a quick and precise movent, he slid his hand into Garp's pocket, where he knew the coveted cookies were stored. With the skill worthy of a true cookie thief, Luffy extracted the package and triumphantly displayed it before the surprised vice-admiral.
Garp, in turn, had no ti to react to his grandson's stealthy ability. The cookie package changed hands in the blink of an eye as Luffy continued his descent to the Black Pearl, taunting his grandfather with the successful heist.
"Darn it, no one sses with my cookies!" Garp growled, heading towards Luffy as he descended towards the ship.
While the showdown between Luffy and Garp reached its climax in the skies, behind the scenes, a mysterious energy began to concentrate behind the Black Pearl. It was as if the atmosphere itself was being charged by sothing imminent and powerful, a harbinger of what was about to happen.
Suddenly, in a surprising move, Luffy, demonstrating extraordinary agility, grabbed onto the ship's mast. With formidable force emanating from behind the ship, it exploded and lifted the Black Pearl into the skies, leaving Garp astonished as he watched the ship gain altitude rapidly. The vessel hovered above the Marine fleet, traversing the skies with a gravity-defying skill, while the perplexed gaze of the vice-admiral followed every move.
Garp headed to his ship, accompanied by his loyal crew who watched their vice-admiral with both respect and uncertainty in the face of recent events.
"Vice-Admiral Garp! Should we pursue them imdiately?" A trusted officer of Garp inquired, showing concern and urgency.
"No, let's first head to Goa. I want to see the ss my grandson created in the kingdom," Garp replied, scratching his nose with a thoughtful expression.
"But, Sir Garp... They took Lucy! Your granddaughter is being used as a hostage; they took off with her on the ship!" Another marine warned, highlighting the critical situation.
"It's true!" Garp widened his eyes, montarily forgetting about his granddaughter. However, he quickly regained composure and looked seriously at his subordinates.
"Tsk." He crossed his arms, adopting a comical expression that left everyone confused.
"Leave her for now. She'll be fine. Besides, she needs to spend ti with her brother. It's been months since they've seen each other, my grandkids. Buhahahhahahhahhhaha!" Garp began to laugh, displaying a mix of emotions that left his crew perplexed in the face of the complexity of family bonds.
"Vice-Admiral Garp, what about Fleet Admiral Sengoku's orders?" Soone asked cautiously, expressing concern about the decisions to be made.
"Leave that to . I'll inform them that my grandson escaped and took a hostage. I might even suggest increasing the reward for Luffy for stealing my cookies! Buhahahahahahhaahaha!" Garp laughed, his tone full of confidence and a pinch of peculiar humor, leaving everyone aboard sowhat perplexed. With little choice, they followed the ship towards Goa, anticipating the developnts of the adventure involving the intrepid grandson of the legendary vice-admiral.
