Unfortunately for the pirates most of the crew was elsewhere. Given the apparent security of their location guards were not many. As the two forces reacted to the presence of the other a grand melee was forged. A strange bush was ignored even as eye suddenly emerged on it as it looked around.

"Well, this ain't good, most of the crew are gone and the strongest remaining crew member the giant just got easily blocked by a single marine. Oi you louts," curses the foot bush at the trees. "What did you tell you fools about going human huh?"

"We are trees, what the fuck are we suppose to do?" The trees cursed back at the bush.

"Well good thing we all ain't normal plants but a woodman idiots. Combine human parts with plants parts to move and attack. If I can walk then you shits can sure as hell turn your branches into arms to attack."

"Yeah we could but you forgot the main body is awake, we don't have enough brain juice to go around," replies the stand of trees. " the Main body takes too much juice. We can hardly do shit."

"Why the fuck is my foot er root bush arguing with a bunch of trees," butts in the three-eyed gardener. "And what the fuck do you mean taking up too much juice and being able to move on your own? What the fuck happened when I was sleeping?"

In response, the foot turned root and stand of trees went silent. Before the Foot cursed at the trees "See what you fools did now our cover is blown."

"What fucking cover asshole we are all the same person," argues the trees.

"Then how the fuck did I miss this development," yells the gardener back at them.

"How about you knock yourself out so we can get more processing power," kindly asks the foot bush. "We don't get enough to go around when you're awake."

"Fuck you asshole how the fuck does that development make any fucking sense? You telling me while I was asleep or awake trying to figure out my powers. You assholes figured out how to actually be useful and you NEVER even thought to bring it up to me? Fuck you guys so hard," curses the main body.

"Look we are all trying to figure things out still," shakes the foot turned root bush. "When you're awake you hog all the juice. So we can hardly do squat. As for not sharing we ARE you. You telling us to go fuck ourselves is literally telling you to fuck yourself. It's not our fault when you're awake you never bothered to reconnect to the rest of you or ask what happened while you were out."

"In other words we are-ah I am just that shit at using my power?"

"Pretty much. It's shit all ways around," agrees Foot bush. "You don't know how to use it properly so how could we?"

"Why the hell do I have to be asleep though and what is this bullshit about hybrid forms?"

"Overall we only have so much juice to go around. As the main body, you naturally hog the vast majority of it. Giving us jack shit to work with when you're awake. Hybrid form is literally the most basic power we can use besides mimicry."

>>2037014
"Of course we both suck at using each. Especially mimicry its hard to remember whether we are trying to grow roots instead of feet, or leaves instead of hands. Things get confusing when your wood wood devil gifted human. Hybrid form is a bit easier but only if you're asleep. We can safely steal away juice to allow us to use it properly."

"What if I am not asleep then?"

"No idea," shrugs the foot bush. "Speaking from experience its easier for us plants to splice into humans thanks to you being human for the majority of our lifespan than the other way around. Its why you suck so hard at going plant but we have much easier time of going human. Give it another ten years then it will start being the other way around."

"So how can I not be useful since we are getting attacked and not knocking myself out?"

"No idea main body, your very existence hogs most of the juice making it a lot harder for us to do stuff while you're awake. We only got so much juice to go around."

This entire conversation happened with a few split seconds thanks to the telepathic connection of thyself. Very little had changed as the two forces noticed the other and got ready to fight.

Some things to be considered...if your sharing brainpower that must mean you can control them right? Maybe somehow limit the amount you are taking up?

So you sit down and close eyes. Focusing on the other the parts of you that aren't part of this body. You sense the foot bush and the trees. You focus on them and not you.

Slowly you could feel a reaction.

You pushed 'yourself' into one of the trees and when you tried to move you felt blocked. Like this was alien so you made a change to move. Your branches shuddered and the roots pulled themselves out. You told the other trees to do it too. Soon the entire bunch of trees started to shake and shudder. As their branches twisted and warped into closer being arms. While their roots shuddered and twisted into legs. Soon you could even feel eyes sprout from them.

Allowing you to see from their perspective as at the nearby marines taking cover among them. Unaware of the danger that lurked overhead. That was when they...no you struck. Branches swung down without warning and smashed into the marines who were caught completely off guard. As they attempted to escape from the murderous trees they pulled themselves out of the ground and crept forward on their root legs.

The pirates meanwhile mostly a bunch of brutes and a giant pressed the advantage with the Giant trying to deal with the Officer who was so strong as to fight 1 vs 1 against the giant. They fought their blows sending wind gushing forward with every strike or parry. Flattening whatever got in their way. The brutes meanwhile lifted their oversized weapons, chains, nets, and anchors as they pressed forward.

You meanwhile suddenly found sweat pouring off your body as your face twisted in pain. The strikes the trees were experiencing as the marines fought back. It was as if they were hitting your true body. Which was bullshit but fucking hell that hurt like they were. Especially when you lost a branch or a tree. Felt like you lost the foot all over again and your fingers, as well as toes, were being cut off.

You held on though. Grimacing and focusing yourself to support the trees.

The trees for their part grew eyes and horrifying smiles sprouted from them. As they smashed down at the marines as the marines screamed about 'living trees' and 'tree demons'. Little did they know it was all you.

As the marines were being taken out you noticed some of the brutes turned towards the marine officer. Lifting up their spinning chained anchors as they offered the giant badly needed support. Which finally turned the tables in his favor. As the Marine officer was forced to split his attention which proved fatal as the giant smashed down and laughed. He dodged out of the way but then the nets and chains flew all around him. He was surrounded as he yelled and swung his sword madly. Cutting apart nets and attempted to deflect the chains. His eyes went wide when he noticed the anchors that were being thrown.

Rolled 69 (1d100)

>>2041692
As he threw himself desperately to the side thinking they were being thrown at him and they tore deep trenches through the earth. Before the loud garish laughter of the dumb brutes who chuckled. he sighed in thanks when he abruptly noticed that...he wasn't the target.

Looking around he was surrounded by a cage of chains all around him and they were being anchored by those anchors that 'missed' him. He realized he was trap as the laughing giant suddenly appeared over head as he talked into a den den mushi.

"AHAAHAHH," laughs the giant looking down. "Little midget think giants stupid? Think giants slow? Think giants no not how to aim?" That was when the giant lifted his 'gun' a horrifying amalgamation between machinery and gun pointed right at him. "ME NOT LIKE OTHER GIANTS I KNOW HOW TO SHOOT," laughs the giant as he shoots. Forcing to marine officer to jump at him dodging the shot but the giant saw it coming. he charged right into the trap the giant sprung as his weapon came down right at him. Since was in the midair however...he couldn't dodge or use the strength of the earth to counter the giant's strength.

Now it was a contest of muscle against muscle. No fancy tricks which caused the giant to smile and laughter. "AHAHAHAH- now THIS is a proper duel!"

The marine wasn't able to take the hit. His block sent him flying and spitting blood. As he crashed into the earth before bouncing off and skipping on the water. Smashing through rocks and ships before sinking beneath the waves.

That was when the brutes started to laugh with the giant as they charged at the remaining marines. Who upon seeing their officer fall ran for their very lives. Taking to the cursed seas or risking the trees which had those demonic trees.

You meanwhile did your best to guide the trees ordering them around and attempted to flank the Marines through the forest. Where despite their size they were very hard to spot.

Thus nobody noticed how a certain foot bush mysteriously disappeared.

Or noticed upon a certain giant mecha a bush suddenly appeared and walked its way up. Ignoring the pirates and marines united against the mechanical titan. Nor did they notice a small ship gently move towards the rallying Marine ships. On board was a couple zombies and a Doctor Sicko. Who was talking into a Den Den Mushi.

"You found the damned Devil Fruit yet? More and more marine ships keep showing up. At this rate its only a matter of time before a Vice Admiral shows up."

"Aie Aie what can do I wrecked the entire place and them still wont cough it up. I think the Corpse Corpse Fruit is a loss Doctor Sicko," answers the Captain on the snail phone.

"...Corpse Corpse Fruit not the unknown one," asks Doc in a strange voice.

"Yeah why?"

"You...didn't read the note did you," sighs the Doctor. "Or perhaps even noticed it?"

"What note?"

This only made Doc sigh even more loudly. "You idiot I wrote on the note was going to barrow the Corpse Corpse Devil Fruit."

"..."

"..."

"Fuck me really?" asks the Captain in a high pitched voice. "I just did all this for nothing?"

"Not for nothing. Still a great distraction the anger though...yes that was for nothing."

"FUCK. What hell did you even need it for?"

"Experiments. They all died but I think I'm getting somewhere."

"Lovely. You in a position yet? I need to bail soon if I wanna get away."

"Soon. Got to row some more and get closer to the rallying Marine ships before I begin. Are the crew finished in the good part of town and returned?"

"Oh don't worry about them. They'll rendezvous with us once they steal some getaway ships, but we need that opening Doc."

"Don't worry," coughs the Doc. "I will soon begin."

After that, he hung up the snail and coughed. As he started to twist ring gears off. Revealing a fingerless gauntlet and his long thin fingers. He wasn't finished as he messed with the mechanism on his palm. Causing the slides to open up and reveal his pale palms. After that, he twisted at his air filter popping out the filters and letting him breathe in fresh air in a deep breath. Which he slowly released along with a sickening green vapor. "AHh...fresh air. Been a while," Says the doc in a surprisingly clear melodic voice. He then looked up past the lenses of his mask at the gathering marine fleet.

"Hoh...think this can stop us? Well...me to be specific," chuckles Doctor Sicko as he raises his arms and grey vapor with a green and blue tinge started to pour off his hands and out of his cleaned out air breather. Soon a fog ate the small boat and started to billow towards the marine fleet.

At the Marine fleet meanwhile, the ships and crews prepared themselves to attack the island. "Orders are to focus on the Titan and clean sweep the entirety of the island. We are to use this chance to clean out all the criminal scum and pirates. Ships are to focus fire upon the giant robot. Once its down provides artillery support for our infantry. Understood?" Billows an officer at his men.

"Aye, sir what about the fog that cropped up?" Asked the Marines.

"Perfect cover. The gods are with us this day than men! They won't see us coming this way," laughs the Marine Officer with joy.

The Marine fleet thus disappeared into that strange fog that appeared out of nowhere. Slowly tiredness spread throughout the fleet and some of the crews sneezed and coughed.

"There is something strange about this here fog," mutters a Marine.

"Aye this fog...ain't like normal fog," agrees an older Marine. "It sinks right into the bone and leaves the strange chill."

"Don't worry men," sneezes a Marine Officer. "We'll be through it soon. It's not very thick according to our island reports and we won't exit near those cursed waters."

Suddenly a voiced chuckled throughout the fog before. "Can you feel it? The tiredness...the strange chill that sinks right into the bone. Do you really think you can fight back?"

"Of course we are Justice~!" Billows out the Marines.

Rolled 20 (1d100)

>>2041835
"Justice...what a joke. You think that you own the world and are the strongest. Hence your actions are always so-called 'justice'. You think you Fight for Justice. You delude yourselves into believing it. Too bad for you won't have the option to fight back."

"Why don't you come out and fight us? Huh you bastar-" suddenly the marine who spoke dropped to the ground.

"Fighting? You wish."

With that, the voice in the fog was gone as the marine reinforcements collapsed one by one.

Back at the island the pirates looting the good side of the island and fighting the marines there. Pushed their way into the Marine Shipyards. Where they proceed to steal their ships and make a getaway. On the other side of the Island giant robot kept on fighting as the Captain inside secretly watched his men withdraw after searching through this side looting what they could find while everyone was distracted too.

When they were all gone suddenly the robot suddenly charged into the sea as parts of it started flying off and away...Right into the cursed shipwrecked waters. Nobody noticed the escape pod that was hidden among the bits of machinery that were sent flying.

At the cove after the rest of the pirates returned they scooted off with their reinforcements and slipped away during the chaos. You had time to reabsorb the trees which greatly aided in your recovery. As you were no longer so pale and sore afterward.

Your training was above average mostly due to you now can make your own plants move and attack like they're people. Strangely easier to make them sprout human parts then you sprouting plant parts. Hopefully you get passed that eventually.

The ships later meet up with a bunch of newly acquired stolen Marine ships and Doctor Sicko. For some reason though the Captain is still missing.

"Has anyone seen where the Captain went," asks Doctor Sicko to the crew. "I thought someone was supposed to pick him up? So what happened?"

"Nobody seen him since he blasted off. We tried to follow but got nothing," explains the First Mate Jenkins.

"Nobody? Oh for fucks sake did we really just lose the Captain? How did we lose a giant fucking mech?" Cursed Doctor Sicko. "Unbelievable and let me guess he hasn't answer the Mushi Mushi Snail has he?"

"Nope."

"Oh this is bad," mutters Doctor sicko facepalming with both hands. "He's the only one who can keep this crew together. We must find him."

Come to think of it what happened to your foot bush?

Somewhere far above.

"AAAHHHHH THE ESCAPE LAUNCHER WAS TOO STRONG-" Shrieks a still flying Captain.

"Oh hey, I think I see the North Pole from here!" Speaks your foot bush.

"Wha-AHHH A TALKING BUSH HOW THE FUCK DID YOU GET HERE," yells the Captain looking at down at the strange talking plant.

"Same way you did. Any idea how we can get back to the crew? Pretty sure they are way the fuck over there."

"Well..." says the Captain scratching his chin while riding his poorly made escape pod. "We really overshot the rendezvous so I have no idea! Oh hey, I think that really IS the north pole," suddenly says the Captain looking down. "Land of Ice, red line and frozen sea...which we are heading right for. Fuck." Screams the Captain as he desperately controls the escape pod into growing wings and flapping.

"NNOOO-we are still going to crash!" Screams the Captain at the incoming ice and decreasing blue sky.

Back at the ships you spoke up.

"I know where the Captain is."

"How would you know that?" Asks the First Mate.

"Footy is with him."

"Footy?"

"My former foot turned root that grew into a bush."

"Ah...so where are they," asks Doctor Sicko.

"Crashing into the North Pole apparently."

"...How?"

"Escape pod overshot. Looks like they'll survive though."

"To the North Pole then," mutters the First Mate before shouting orders.

Sometime later back at the North Pole, the Captain was ice fishing and the foot bush was running away from a curious polar bear.

"AHH KILL IT KILL IT!" Yells the fleeing foot bush running on its little root feet.

"Hell no, I am saving up for when the Krakens show up."

"THEN WHY ARE YOU FISHING FOR KRAKENS," yells the foot bush.

"Well duh I wanna eat giant calamari, also fight a Kraken because that would be cool."

"FUUU-"

Back at the ship you began to deeply understand the pain that First Mate and Doctor Sicko go through with putting up with the Captain.

Rolled 4 (1d100)

>>2044601
After a long trip, you finally see the North Pole. Your foot was currently turned into a fishing pole plant after reaching an agreement with the Captain after his shitty homemade fishing gear broke. Nearby you could see a huge amount of dead frozen bear, fish, and seels sealed underneath the ice and snow. Once the Captain saw the ships with his telescope he shouted an ice giant named The Abominable Giant Snowman he befriended and his merman friend Long Octo.

"ALRIGHT HIT IT!"

Suddenly Krakens burst out from below as the plant fishing pole grabbed them and tugged. Enraging them as they burst out from below.

"LETS DO IT BOYS!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaASRV0ZnME

The crew at the ships meanwhile stood with wide open eyes and open mouths gaping as machinery lifted from them and flew towards the Captain. As a huge battle began.

"Krakens REALLY you picked a fight with Krakens RIGHT when we showed up," screamed Doctor Sicko.

"Well DUH how else could I fight some Krakens? I only survived the last one due to Abom and Octo saving our asses," shouted the Captain. "Let's get to it lads for GIANT DELICIOUS CALAMARI!"

During the ship ride, you discovered some very helpful facts besides the peculiarity of it is much easier to make your plants sprout human parts. There is another trick you developed to help you produce plant parts. You discovered that by 'eating' other plants you could forcefully copy whatever that plant is. Munching some wood for instance would allow you to transform into wood and grow it much more easily.

Thus you prepared to once more unleash your powers. As the pirate ships suddenly began to fire upon the krakens with cannons and turned to unleash full organized barrages from their broadsides. Pirates line up and fired volleys as well at the krakens.

You meanwhile munched some plants parts causing them to grow. Starting with the poisonous ones, wood, and vines. After that you unleashed a vine shooting it towards the krakens. Once you grabbed something you pulled yourself over as you turned your other arm into a long sharp stake of wood coated in poisonous plants prepared to stab. It was the most powerful attack you unleashed to date.

You then found yourself on the ice fields where a giant, captain, foot bush turned rod, and a merman were all fighting among the krakens. The giant for its part was apparently wrestling with a kaken on its own. The foot bush was attemping to use its lines to entangle. The Captain after being reinforced with additional machinery had built himself a suit and weapons to fight with. The merman meanwhile swam in the icy waters and fought with the Krakens there.

Some of the Krakens stayed to fight with those on land while the others started to swims the pirate ships. A few decided to slip away given their wounds back into the depths below.

Now caught right in the middle of the fighting you soon realized you were quite outclassed. The freezing cold kept on greatly inhibiting your powers. While your attacks did little to phase the Krakens after your initial slingshot attack.

The Captain for his part kept on throwing down more explosives and shooting. His melee attacks were with blades of spinning metal that sliced through the Krakens. He relied upon his armor and dodging to help avoid attacks but alas despite the Krakens great size they were very agile.

The giant was still engaged in a wrestling match. The huge merman was fighting in the water. Your foot bush meanwhile had moved grabbing a frozen carcass before throwing it into the water along with a few others for some reason.

The ships meanwhile kept their barrage bu they also started to throw something into the sea. You couldn't tell what until the krakens closed in and then BOOM. Whatever they were exploded. Shooting up water, kraken parts, and sent shockwaves through the water.

The crew then was prepared to fight the boarding Krakens in melee combat. The fighting finally enshrouded the ships that had arrived. As they did their best to fire and throw explosive mines into the water.

The Krakens meanwhile fought hard only retreating when their injuries stacked up. They would slip away into the depths. The fight so continued until finally a new contender arrived.

Sharks drawn by the blood and predatory whales at the prospect of eating their favorite prey. They clashed against the Kraken in their own underwater domain.

The fighting had thus finally met the grand crescendo.

>>2046946

>>2047815
The fighting you noticed both sides are about evenly matched. Explosions rang out, guns and cannons were fired, Screams abound along with clashing of weapons.

Krakens grabbed crew with their tentacles and threw them. They smashed into ships and got blown back by cannon, gunshots, and water mines. Tentacles were cut off by hulking brutes. Crew desperately tried to get themselves cut free or crash less heavily should they be sent flying.

Back in the land of Ice you were caught in a huge fight. Between the remaining Krakens and your Captain+friends. The Merman had returned to land and was busy having a slap fight with tendrils with the krakens. The Ice Giant had successfully thrown a Kraken under huge chunk of ice trapping it and was busy wrestling with another one. How he wasn't losing is a true testament to his great strength.

The Captain himself meanwhile was a whirring mass of spinning blades and gunfire. Successfully fighting off the kraken tendrils through being a ball of pure buzzing murder. Slicing apart any that dared get too close. The Krakens clearly weren't sure what to do with him until they realized they could grab ice and club him to death with it.

This when you and Footy knew what to do. As you both moved in unison. Shooting out vines from both ends and creating a net that caught the incoming rain of ice. Meaning the Captain only had to deal with huge ice clubs.

Just as you were about to cheer you suddenly feel a sticky sensation and next thing you knew you were flying through the air. Much like how Footy was sent flying thanks to the Captain's ill made 'Escape Pod' turned high velocity missile.

Except unfortunately for you the damned Kraken through you straigh at the huge melee at the ships. Then you felt another harsh tugging sensation and pain. So much pain as if your arms were being torn off-oh crap you forgot about the vines as you looked over and noticed the huge net full of ice was following behind you.

Your screams became much more piercing at that moment as your eyes bulged realizing you were about to get smashed between a huge flying pile of ice and a huge fight.

Right when you were prepared to meet your maker after getting turned into a poundcake. Suddenly you felt yet another ungodly pulling sensation. Looking over you saw Footy who had planted himself in the ground turning itself into an Anchor. Abruptly causing your turn as your force of momentum caused you to swing back around. Right towards land to crash in instead.

"AHHH NOT AN IMPROVEMENT!" You screamed realizing your options were now rather dire and all around painful as hell. It was at that moment as you spun about you noticed there was the Kraken who threw you and you were charging back at it at very high velocity with a huge pile of ice in a net right behind you.

Realizing you had your chance at revenge. You formed your legs into a large stake as you came charging back at it.

"FUCK YOOUUU~!" You scream and the Kraken turns towards you eyes large in utter shock as seeing a kid missile turned giant stake with a huge net full of ice right behind him was flinging back around after getting stopped by anchor turned foot root system.

When you hit you could feel your legs turned wooden stakes splinter as you tore back away and right behind you came the huge hill of trapped ice in a big ball. Slammed the Kraken sending it flying far away.

Trying to deal with the pain you looked at what was ahead and screamed once more seeing the Merman.

"DUUCK!"

The Merman confused looking over at you and noticed what was coming right at him. He ducked and the Krakens whom he had entered a slapping contest with weren't so lucky as you lanced some of them and they did their best to dive out of the way.

What you saw next was the Captain fighting fight a bunch of Krakens with frozen clubs. He was now tightly engaged with trying to slice through the clubs and tear into the Krakens while avoiding getting pulverized by them. They were too engaged to notice you swinging right towards them and the Captain was too short.

"BONZAI!" You scream preparing for your next pass. The Krakens turned towards you right in time to see the huge hill of ice right behind. You could see the deep terrible regret in their eyes of throwing all that ice. As it came swinging back around right at them.

Blasting them off towards the other Krakens fighting at the ship. Turned into a bunch of living missiles as you flew back around once more.

This time you saw the giant was getting ganged up on by two Krakens. The dirty bastards as you swung by you decided to stab one of them but alas it dodged. Right as it was laughing at it forgot the line you were tethered on and the ice ball it was attached to. Pulling it along and for the first time you heard a strange shriek emerge from it as it was now getting grabbed along. Even as it desperately grabbed onto the ice to slow itself down.

Alas while it slew you down it also threw your original neet circle swing into chaos. As you came back around at the crowd of slap fighting Krakens fighting the merman. This time he was paying attention and as he threw himself down. The Krakens who saw you coming at you once more put themselves into a combat stance until they saw their screaming comrade who was stuck coming right at them.

Half thought to turn and the other half thought to save him. It resulted in him grabbing a bunch of them along with his tendrils and you stabing/pulling along many of the rest to join the ride.

Causing you to all spin wildly as the Krakens slowly entangled themselves from a mixture of vines and mostly a whole lot of tentacles. It caused you to keep swinging but slowly you slowed down and the rotations became less wide.

double dubs...

At this time you finally got a good look at what happened those Kraken who were knocked silly by the huge tangled ball of ice and them crashing into their compatriots at the pirate ships.

The crew at the fortunate position of seeing what was coming early. So they mostly were able to desperately getting out of the way. By the time the krakens there realized was coming it twas already too late as they turned around to see what was about to smash into them.

Your rotation meanwhile began to slowly speed up as you had less line and you felt even more sick. The horrorible stretching pain, your splintered wooden legs, and the vertigo. The krakens who were dragged along for the ride were far less fortunate. As their attempts to escape only got them even more entangled in with each other.

Fortunately for you thanks to your position away from them you soon noticed something as you slowly came to a rough rest. Just as the tangled Krakens gave a breath of relief you saw the huge Ice Hill smashed right into them and broke on them.

You were finally freed as you were sent flying into a pile of snow and groaning in pain.

While many of the crew at the ships simply stared at the scene that the three eyed Brat had caused before one finally spoke up.

"HOLY SHIT! The kid just singlehandedly wrecked most of the krakens with that icy wrecking ball, vines rope, and anchoring by just swinging!" Shouts a random crewman.

At that moment the crew started to wildly cheer and laugh at the amazing feat. Meanwhile, the few unwrecked Kraken who was sent flying or crashed were overwhelmed or fled. As the Giant laughed at the Merman.

"AHAHAH that kid just kicked your ass! Took all those krakens on like nothing!"

"Oh yeah," defends the Merman in a huff. "At least my I wasn't LOSING."

The Kraken meanwhile who was cleaning up the mess noticed Doctor Sicko was approaching him while laughing. "Hahah that kid just showed you up SO hard. Sent all those Krakens flying like was nothing!"

"Shutup," pouts the Captain. "He was lucky is all."

"Ptch luck? That is what I call teamwork and combos."

"YOU were the one who said the Kid wasn't ready! But look he what he did...he just showed us all up," grumbles the Captain as Doc heads to the snow pile indent. "What are doing anyway?" He asks.

"Heh he might have shown up the rest of you but not me, plus ain't it obvious? Kid is fucked up after that stunt."

"He deserves it," mutters the Captain sticking his tongue out in your general direction as he walks away but abruptly gets tripped by a root from a certain Foot.

"Gah what the hell its YOU again," shrieks the Captain at the Bush.

"Screw you man any idea how much that fucking hurt? Those vines were like fingers and the rest was like breaking limbs."

"Oh shut up already. You made the rest of us all look like shit in comparison."

"At what cost!"

"Well look at this way you proved you weren't completely useless in an awesome and bad ass fashion."

"How is that suppose to make me feel better? I have been freezing this entire time and the main body is half dead from backlash and the stunt," complains the Footy as dragging its frozen self back to the ships.

The Captain meanwhile approaches the beat up Krakens who were caught. As the Crew fishes bits of kraken, sharks, whales, and crew out.

"Yo Octo help me out man," calls out the Captain at the Merman who approaches him. "Sup. What you need Captain?"

"Translate for me," says the Captain before turning towards the defeated Krakens.

"Alight I could roast you up alive," starts the Captain causing the Krakens to shiver. "But that isn't the real reason I beat you all so relax." The Krakens stop shivering but watch him warily.

"Alright so here's the deal. The reason why I beat the crap out of you is for one very simple reason. Its to teach you a very important lesson. I bet you all think your the top dog of the Frozen Sea right?" Ask the Captain as the Krakens perk up and squirm with pride.

"But...you all just lost right? The sad truth is your only the top dog in a little, frozen pond. How does that make you all feel? The world is a big place and the truth is we ain't even the strongest. The reason why we beat the crap out of you for no reason. Was for your own good. So that way you would realize there are people out there in the rest of the world who can easily kick your ass. We had a good fight and the sad truth is we ain't even close to being the strongest."

This revelation caused the Krakens to shudder.

"So right now you punks have a very simple choice. You could stay here as the top dogs until someone who isn't as nice as we comes along or you could go out there in the wide world. To see just how vast it really is and grow strong enough that you keep your friends and family back home safe."

"So what will it be?" Asks the Captain crouching down before the defeated Krakens with a smile.

Octo translates for the Krakens their reply. "So let me guess you want to recruit us?"

"Nope," shrugs the Captain. "I just made a promise long ago that when I went to North Blue I would go to the North Pole to beat some sense into the Krakens there. You're more than welcome to leave on your own and without us. After all, we need boats but you don't."

"...Who sent you then," asks the Krakens.

In response, the Captain smiled before explaining. "A Kraken who left long ago to fight the Sea Kings to see who was stronger."

This caused all the Krakens to freeze and their eyes widened with shock before they started to tremble with excitement.

"That one lives?" They asked.

"What do you think," chuckles the Captain. "They got worried and wanted me to send a message for them."

The Krakens now respectfully nodded towards the Captain. "Message received loud and clear."

"Good," nods the Captain before shouting back at the now disappointed men. "alright lads let them all go."

The Krakens slipped back beneath the waves and most of them left.

A few however stuck around nearby. As the Captain sighed and looked towards the First Mate who has shown up.

"While I was waiting for you I went hunting. Collected a bunch of food frozen in ice and furs."

"Aye sir but that doesn't fix a new problem we got."

"Which is?"

"Too many ships not even leaders," explains the First Mate.

Looking over at the pirate ships the Captain sighs and nods."I see your problem. So I get a promotion and we need some officers right?"

"Afraid so," agrees the First Mate. "I can beat them into mean fighters but I can't teach them to lead Captain er Commodore."

"Commodore huh," says the Captain scratching his grizzled chin. "I like that, but don't worry I already got some stuff planned."

"Oh, you do? I already know the people who are natural leaders."

"not them," frowns the Commodore. "But they can tag along. Once we finish up with this mess I got a test."

"Oh...aye sir," nods the First Mate Jenkins.

"Now excuse me but I been freezing ass off here the entire time. Recover the crew, treat the wounded, gather supplies, and so on." Orders the Captain shivering heading towards the ships.

Sometime later a certain three-eyed kid awoke in the infirmary. "OOw..." you woke up from the pain and sore.

"AH you're awake," says Doctor Sicko looking down at you. "You hurt yourself an awful lot pulling that stunt off."

"It was by accident," you hissed, "Well okay not that first part with the net but the rest of it was."

"Is that suppose to be better or worse," asks Doctor Sicko cocking their masked head. "This has proved one thing which is quite the breakthrough for you."

"Oh what?"

"The delays and troubles plaguing you while controlling your other parts were fixed. Not only that but you instinctively saved yourself. That is quite the breakthrough."

"Still a bitch controlling them all," you complain.

"Well there is only so much brain to go around," says Doctor Sicko shrugging. "No getting around that but over time you can improve your...'control'."

"So how bad is it dock and what's the plan?"

"Well if you were a normal human I would say it was very bad, but your half wood so it's not as serious. As for the plan the Captain is planning a test and some games."

"Games?"

"Yes," says the Doctor Sicko. "he intends to create urban made of ice and fortifications to train in as an obstacle course and fighting ground. Not sure about the test though he is awfully quiet about that."

"Any idea what the test is for?"

"yes," says Doctor Sicko. "It's for Position of Captain."

This makes you perk up immediately with your eyes shining.

Doctor Sicko looks down at you and says, "Don't even think about it. You got a long way to go."

"Haven't I proved myself enough already," you pout.

"Not that," explains Doctor Sicko. "You need Charisma to keep the men in line. You've got the smarts but not the looks."

"Since I'm a kid?"

"Even if your smart enough to give good orders if you can't get your men to follow them then what?"

"...Doc has you there." As you deflate.

"How long till I recover then?"

"No idea," says Doctor Sicko shugging. "I ain't no botanist and your enough plant that its impossible for me to tell, but if the missing foot is anything to go by. I say couple weeks instead of months to recover."

"Hell yeah, Owie," you wince at your bandage and cast covered body.

A week of studying in bed later you hobbled out of the ship to see an ice fortress and town.

"Alright lads," Speaks the Commodore. "those of you who are popular listen up. You may not be given the position of Captain," This led to a lot of booing from them and their followers. "Instead where is who get's the position. Those of you who everyone turns to in times of crisis to get them out of the shit. Congratulations you have been promoted," he says clapping over the strange silence.

"Why them and not us? Nobody even LIKES most of them," complains a popular guy.

"Simple, because those like you not only get yourselves killed but everyone else who's stupid enough to follow you if someone like THEM isn't there to bail all your sorry asses out," explains the Commodore. "For you popular fucks with a good brain congrats you've also been promoted!" Now there was finally some light cheering.

"Now the rest of you...popular fellows," evilly chuckles the Commodore with a vicious smile. "There is going to be tests for you all. If you cannot pass the tests then you are no longer eligible to be officers. If you fail and cannot follow orders...then if you'd please," nods the Commodore to the first Mate Jenkins. Suddenly a series of gunshots rang out and bodies hit the floor. Never to rise again. "You die," laughs the Commodore at the now very quiet popular fellows with ugly expressions on their faces.

"For you smart fellows you'll be getting schooled too but on how to be 'popular'. If you fail you'll just get stuck being something akin to a smart adviser and not a proper Officer."

"Hey that's not fair," complains a popular guy again.

"No it ain't but they are far less likely to get people killed then you," explains the Commodore with a snort. "Thus their punishments are far lighter."

"Now that I got the annoying stuff out of the way. We are going to be training in town and fortress. Spars too will also be allowed. You will also experience training in winter conditions here. So have fun."

"Now for the smart and charismatic people. I'll be schooling in the ways to be a Commander. Just as the First Mate Jenkins is schooling you all in how to be better fighters."

After that on top of your usual studies, you were forced to attend the 'officer school' being done by the Commodore. Making your hellish living conditions that much more difficult. Getting your shit kicked in by Jenkins, Getting your shit kicked in by Commodore, Studying your plants/poisons, and training your Devil fruit powers. It was hell day by hell day

-----
You decide to go plant hunting. Your attempts to make snake boy come with was flatly refused as he shivered next to a fire. That's right he's cold-blooded now...right in the artic. He's been suffering even more then you have.

Your attempts to find someone to come with you didn't go in vain. You went with the Frost Giant Bonomo instead. According to him while plants do exist this far they are pretty rare beyond the tundra and where isn't volcanic activity to keep them alive. Instead, he warns you about the Predatory Ice Plants who developed a hunger for flesh to compensate for the barrenness of the frozen wastes. He also warned you of the Icy Wonderlands that while beautifully is even more deadly.

Bonomo, as it turned out, was an excellent guide who somehow could tell the difference between one stretch of frozen barren wastelands and another. How she does it you have no idea. Yes, Bonomo is actually a girl as you found out and a member of the Northern Frost Giant Tribe of Giants. Not much is known about them, given where they live.

You soon found out Bonomo wasn't kidding about those predatory ice plants. Not long after your journey, you encountered your first evil plant that burst out from below a snow ridge to snatch up a seal that fell through the snow into the passage below. Hidden underneath the ridge you could see a bunch of grasping icy vines hanging below. Including beautiful flowers and what you suspect to be fruits.

You fetched one after focusing to change your limb into a vine with a hand at the end and sent it flying over to grab one. The frozen vines were apparently confused by a part plant and animal long enough for you get away with a frozen fruit.

According to Bonomo, it was a type of Climbing Frost Vine whose berries were valued for their delicate delicious flavor. It was very hard to get given its terrible taste in growing spots and predatory nature.

This was just the start of your journey in the land of ice and blowing snow. As you fought against monsters hidden in the snow and plants growing in the ice who hungered for your warm blood. Trudging to the only 'oasis' in these frozen lands. Geothermal hot springs and the frozen wonderlands. Made of twisted frozen life concealing a ground of utter death below. A wonderland above and nightmare below as it turned out. Full of bones and corpses feeding the life thriving above. Once you realized the horrifying truth of the matter you realized Bonomo wasn't kidding about avoiding those 'Icy Wonderlands'. They really are concealing a death trap.

Sadly you were forced to foreway into one of them because you needed the seeds. Without Bonomo, you probably wouldn't have made it out alive. Whose great giant strength and native to this area was able to guide you back out. You still nearly became part of the graveyard hidden below them and was how you realized the truth.

Rolled 3 (1d100)

>>2049772
When you fell through and discovered where the plant roots lead...well that was how you found out confirmed the truth of the matter.

You ended up spending most of your time wandering from frozen shorelines to penetrating deep into the frozen heartlands. Searching for the very unusual plant life to be found here. Many of which were predatory to make up for all the ice and lack of good soil. It was quite the dangerous and tricky feat collecting seeds.

While the rare plants at the geothermal spots were thankfully relatively harmless. The only time you didn't have to worry about even the Plants trying to kill you.

Honestly, the plants were even worse than the snow monsters. At least some of the native monsters weren't predatory...

Even the damned grass hidden in the lands of ice thirsted for blood. Sharp enough to be blades and no doubt feeding upon the blood that was spilled.

After your trip, you collected quite the amount of seeds. Searching every nook and cranny for rare specimens to collect. The only water they need is ice/snow and...geothermal water for the others. Not sure how you're going to do about that last one. Though Footy claims to have an unusual solution.

Not to mention so many of those frozen plants deep from the lands of ice hungered for flesh and thirsted for blood. Plus their extreme cold tolerance and heat weakness. Some of them even outright melted like snow when warmed. That was going to be annoying to deal with. What with them trying to eat you and particularly the crew.

Overall most of the plants you acquired are very troublesome and extremely rare outside of the area. For good reason too as it turned out. Your most harmless and easy to deal with plants were native to the tundras and frozen forests. They weren't nearly as bad as those plants from deeper in the land of ice.

By the time you returned you could see the crew and ships were ready...except there was something 'off' about them. Even with the whole being haunted...which was probably why you could sense a difference. You have been on them long enough that there was something off despite the haunting. As you approached suddenly you saw the reason 'why'.

A new ship was among them. One that was made seemingly of ice and bone. Making it look even spookier than the other ones. The Captain you noticed was talking with a fishman with a strange light attached to his head while staring at it.

"Do you think it can survive the South?"

"I never even HEARD of a ship made of Ice and Bone. It should melt yeah...but this ship doesn't have common origins now does it?"

"Aye its, an ancient Ghost Ship."

"I thought the Elusive was a ghost ship?"

"Haunted Ship THAT," says the Captain pointing at the ship made of ice and bone. "Is a proper Ghost Ship. I can feel the chill of death itself from here and we are in the bloody arctic of all places."

"Why'd it show up then," asks the fishman.

"That's what I'm asking YOU a shipwright for. You were the one crazy enough to salvage ships from a haunted shipwrecked graveyard. So what can you tell me?"

"And YOU'RE the one who made a deal with a Haunted Ship cursing your self and crew."

Bonomo ended up being the one speaking up in a strangely reminiscent voice. "Its a ship by the name of Icy Doom. According to the old stories, Icy Doom was a cursed ship made of Ice brought from the Land of the Dead and Ripped from the Bones of the Living. After a deal was forged by a stranded Captain betrayed by his crew on an iceberg. It is said the deal he made was with a ghostly shipwright and the Devil."

Both of them quieted down as Bonomo spoke.

"The stories also say after the Captain's revenge and rampage on the 4 Blues and Grand Line. After fighting the Sea Witch and ignoring her advice about the Curse. The ship sailed him back to the Land of Forever Ice never to be seen again, but occasionally people who spy it sailing around the Frozen Sea."

"Why did that cursed ship come back here?" Finishes Bonomo as the entire crew turns toward the Captain.

"Woah now this time it wasn't on me! How could I attract that ship?"

"Well it CLEARLY showed up for a reason," mutters the Shipwright. "So what is its reason?"

"Eh I'll go find out," answers the Captain ignoring the crew as he jumps on the Elusive and starts talking to the ship like a madman "Alright I found out the truth...Doctor Sicko GET THE FUCK OUT HERE RIGHT NOW!"

Some stumbling sounds later from below a Marine ship's decks. Doctor Sicko appears and speaks. "What is it finally time to go?"

"YOU...you were experimenting with undead right?"

"Oh how you knew?"

"That Ghost Ship told the Elusive who told me!"

"...So," asks Doctor Sicko cocking his head. "Does that mean I have to stop? I am just experimenting with dead bodies. Nothing big."

"Then WHY does the ship say it sensed Death and the Devil on someone you were working on?"

This made Doctor Sicko perk up as he asks carefully while rubbing his hands with a strange light within his lense covered eyes. "You are telling me...it was finally successful?"

"WHAT YOU DONE SICKO THAT EVEN ATTRACTED A FRIGGING GHOST SHIP TO US!"

"Eh..eheh...ehehe.ehahahahahahMUWHAAHHAAH ITS SUCCESS," starts laughing Doctor Sicko madly. "ITS ALIVE AT LONG LAST I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT, oh boy I can't wait till he wakes up," says Sicko as he dives down below decks once more.

"Goddamn, it Doctor Sicko how many times have we talked about these experimenting. Only on people who nobody likes or the already dying volunteers. Dead is fine if their bodies are intact if they're one of ours. Otherwise the crew wont care," complains the Commodore. "Wait...dead and alive? Devil..oh crap."

"Nothing to worry about Captain I can ensure it was done using Volunteers only and I tested it plenty of times~" Replies the Doctor Sicko from below deck as the Captain stares at the Icy Doom and sighs loudly.

"Cursed Crew and haunted Pirate ships. How could it get any worse," complains the Commodore. "Oh I know how about we perform yet more Crimes against Nature. Make some undead and get some ghost ships too. At this point do I even want to know more? I don't even know what could be next. Maybe we break into the heavens and rob the place or some shit like that."

Little did the Commodore know sometime in the future that would be exactly what happens...but that is a story for another time.

"Hey Footy what's your idea for taking care of the plants?"

"Simple instead of having our plants grow we can force them to store the nutrients instead into fruits. Take the fruits and feed them to the plants."

"That works?"

"Yup," shakes the bush. "Problem is it takes a lot of good soil and water along with some time. Water for the hot springs will be needed to taken and stored for some of the plants. The predatory plants we can feed the leftovers of butchery, bones, leftover meat ,and blood. If we can't get the stuff boiling the fruits can be used to water and the fruits can be eaten directly."

"Oh, what do they taste like?"

"No idea but imagine them as a super ration. They pack one hell of a punch. Not sure what would happen if a human ate it given its meant for plants."

"Any idea what to do with the ice and snow problem?"

"Freezers in marine ships. Grind the ice down into slow and ice chips. Take them out into the sunlight or set up sun lamps," answers the Bush.

"...Won't they try to eat the crew?"

"Yup."

"How can we stop it?"

"Can try talking to them."

"We suck at plant language. We just barely got past the meaning of sun, water, and dirt."

"Yeah quite a problem...but they don't feel that way about other plants now do they?"

"...Oh, I don't like the way you're going with this at all. We ain't that good at control only so much brain to go around."

"Then build a cage. Just leave the top open so the sun can reach."

"Come to think of it wouldn't placing them on that ghost ship be even easier?"

"Don't know but I don't trust it."

"Why not?"

"It reaks of Death and not the delicious sweet smell of decay. Something worse far worse."

"So it smells like a Ghost Ship? Jeeze what a surprise."

"Oi," complains the foot bush shaking angrily. "Don't be a smart ass punk!"

"Then stop being a foot," you countered.

"I'm a BUSH now since you cut me off LITERALLY."

"Technically that was a zombie."

After some more arguing, you went to see Doc about bones and blood. Figuring he's the guy to go to. Well, that and the Cook Rotters, but you wouldn't be surprised if Zombie Chow uses those kinds of leftovers...

Going down inside the 'Quarantine Ship' you found Doctor Sicko running around and calling out, "Here living corpse here boy, I just wanna poke yo-oh what do you want?" he asks turning towards you.

"Got any bone, blood, and leftover gore?"

"Lots. Why?"

"Gotta feed some predatory plants."

"Oh makes sense," nods Doctor Sicko.

"Why are you looking for a corpse?"

"Turned out Patient D0-025 survived."

"Survived what?"

You could practically see Sicko's smile despite the mask.

"The Corpse Corpse Fruit!"

"The one that went missing?" You ask cocking your head.

"Hmph not missing I just needed it to test it on Hospice Patients and my own virus. Studying the Corpse Corpse Fruits effects I DO believe I can create a Revival Virus!"

"PSht Drunk and or High Doctor Sicko is."

"No, he's just a huge asshole. Don't turn into him Doc. He's a terrible person."

"You know I ain't actually a Doctor anymore right? Got stripped from me. So I am no longer obligated to abide by the Oaths. The 'Doctor Sicko' is just my pirate nickname," begins Doctor Sicko in a mocking voice.

"I know."

"And I'm a pacifist how well do you think that works? Given how I am a pirate who is hunted?" Asks Doctor Sicko mockingly. "Originally it was an Oath I took so I would be viewed as a Neutral-aligned Doctor. How long do you think I can keep up being a pacifist until I am caught? I mean technically since it was an Oath I made when I was Doctor that was then stripped from me. I shouldn't even need to abide by it since it was part of those exact Oaths and given I am now a pirate. I wanted criminal...sometimes I find myself becoming more like him. He believes we shouldn't bother anymore with it and go all out."

"That...that would be very bad," you respond thinking about the sheer horror. You've seen what Doctor Sicko becomes like when he's...that.

"And I agree," chuckles Doctor Sicko. "Its why I force myself to be a Pacifist because I know once I cross that line...there is no going back. Remember kid even criminals like us need to have a Line we don't cross. If we don't a normal person becomes a monster and guess what we with the Devil's gift truly become?"

"A...Devil?"

"No, all Devil Fruit Users are considered Devils good or bad. We become a Demon instead. I just know how to let mine out. Sure I perform rather unethical experiments...but that is because while I am no longer a Doctor I am still a Man of Science! If it weren't for my research...an entire country would have died you know."

"I heard the story."

"Yeah you have," agrees the Doctor Sicko looking out at sea. "But you don't know what it was like. The horrors that were unleashed. Kingdoms came to exterminate the country that was plagued. Fearing it would spread. The Navy came blockaded to prevent it from spreading...and even the innocent people from escaping. The plague spreading. I still hear their screams every night and see their faces when I dream...I don't sleep much anymore. Death everywhere...misery everywhere. Pain everywhere. I got desperate. Not enough time."

"You must know this by now but...ordinary outfits. They change alongside the devil fruit user and back then...I wasn't in this. When I ate that fruit I didn't know how to control it properly. So while I developed the vaccine...I used those armies and Marine ships as my guineapigs. Of course, the Captain told you the good side right?"

"..."

"Yeah, I thought so. How I 'broke' the blockade and saved the kingdom. How I came up with a cure and was demonized by the World Government for it. truth is they weren't entirely wrong."

More lives then I needed to and the worst part is I meant to do it. I couldn't control my powers very well so a lot more people died then what was necessary."

"I deserved to lose my medical license."

"This suit thanks to the sea stone keeps my powers contained. Not enough to cripple me but enough to contain it properly. Your bone, blood, and gore is down the hall next to the refuse bin the one labeled as 'medical organic waste'. Don't use the other one."

After that Doctor Sicko wandered off. You felt uncertain about what to do before going and grabbing the bags that were labeled what he told you. Heading back you spent the time preparing for your new bloodthirsty icy plants. Still needed to come up with a cage though.

From the looks of things, the crew is preparing to ship out.

To the Spooky Ghost Ship.

You head over to check out the spooky ghost ship. Taking a closer look you could see it was blue ice and carved bone to make its form. Its masts looked like giant icicles. The figurehead at the front of the ship was a giant skull of some sort. Hidden inside the ice you could see bones. While outside together with the ice were large bones creating the body of the ship itself.

When you boarded the ship itself you could feel a strange chill in the air. Far colder than the likes of what you even experienced during your plant harvesting trip. The chill...it went to your very soul. What you were wearing couldn't stop it.

On the ship itself you didn't hear the usual creaking of the timbers instead you heard cracking of ice and bone. Looking around you don't see any cages to you go deeper inside.

Down into the bowels of the ship itself. Here somehow it was even colder. Past rooms whose furniture was long frozen over and piles of bone. Not even proper intact skeletons. Just bones dust, piles of broken bones, and slick ice. As you head deeper into the ship found the brig and crates of what you don't know. The brig you noticed had exactly what you were looking for.

Icy cages abound. Chuckling at your find you started to ponder how you were going to remove some of it. As they were all frozen into the ground or made of the actual brig itself. After looking at it you ended up shrugging realizing you were gonna need a brute to tear them out of the ground.

They are good at that strength stuff. As you headed back out of the ship. Climbing those icy stairs carefully trying to not slip and die. Passed those icy hallways with bones staring back at you menacingly. All the while the chill of this ship made your soul feel icy and the chill wasn't something you could get rid of.

At the top of the vessel just as you were about to let out a breath you noticed a strange sight. A man in a patient gown was leaning against the rails and looking out to see. Even more shocking the cold didn't seem to phase him one bit.

Just as you were about to say something you heard a strange clattering sound coming from below and behind you. Looking down your eyes went wide with horror. As you saw those bone piles start to pick themselves back up and reveal a hallowed light in their eye sockets. As they clattered forward.

Looking back around you could see small motes of blueish green light waft up from the ship and gather together into a skull that started to chuckle from beyond the grave.

"I knew I smelled a living deadman on these frozen waters, you even smell like him," says the ghostly skull to the man.

"Aren't you a little too obvious to be a ghost," counters the man not even glancing behind him.

"Ghost? I am no ghost. Just as you are not a living man," chuckles the skull. "Tell me human how did you survive the embrace of the Corpse Corpse Devil Fruit?"

"Quite simple actually the cold helped and the virus did too. Bought me time to adjust before I really died. Strange sensation dying...very strange. All I had to do was wake up and remember how to live."

"Hmph you make it sound so easy," laughs the Skull. "As someone who survived Death itself...heh your gonna be really strong some day."

"Sounds like you know a bit about my devil fruit power."

"Hm the Corpse Corpse Fruit is a very peculiar devil fruit. It kills the user but before death truly takes them the Devil gives them a chance. If they fail the Devil Fruit enters back into circulation. Tell me you ever wonder WHY there is some knowledge about what powers it gives you?"

"...Someone actually survived eating it?"

"Aye," acknowledges the Skull. "Long long ago. The Corpse Corpse Devil fruit turns you into one of the undead if you succeed. Removes the limitations of your old living body and grants you some powers over death itself. Powerful too bad the fact it kills you in the process heheheh."

"So what are you exactly?" Asks the man turning around to stare at the floating skull and nearby skeletons calmly.

"Ooh I used to be the soul of this ship but then a devil fruit user...augmented me. Those sad sacks of bones are what happens when you do some nasty things with devil fruit powers combining. So tell me Captain shall we stick with these pirates?"

"Captain?"

"We've all been waiting a very long time for a new captain." Says the floating skull. "Your the first one to actually qualify."

"We stay and what do you know about my powers?"

"Old Captain had a power similar to yours, but not quite but we knew someone who did eat your fruit and also lived."

"Oh who?"

"The Corpsemaker. Scary sick bastard freakishly strong with a perverted devil power. He was truly a nightmare. The only way to kill him was to drown him in the sea nothing else would work."

"That strong?"

"Aye," acknowledges the skull with a look of fear appearing on it's...'face'. "He was a nightmarish immortal monster. Nobody knew how he survived eating the fruit but many believed it drove him mad. The rumors were he played a game with the grim reaper and entered a staring contest with death itself winning both times, but what he saw what he witnessed drove him mad in the process. A man who was said to be cursed by the Devil, Death, and the Sea. Devil Fruit Powers who step on other toes beside the Sea are extraordinarily rare and powerful but most of all Cursed."

"Seeing that you appear to be sane at least indicates he wasn't as lucky as you. You still seem to have your wits about you. Just to warn you Captain I sense some nightmarishly powerful devil fruits nearby."

"Aye there is the Captain and Doctor Sicko."

"Oh what powers do they possess?"

"The Machine Machine and Sick Sick."

"Not too familiar with the first but the last one...ooh Devil Fruit of Plagues. Now THAT is a powerful devil fruit and what a nightmare to deal with. Watch out for that one."

"Everyone has heard of the Devil Fruit of Plagues," snorts the man.

"Captain you don't know the full power of that Fruit. Its power lays not in force but in its insidious nature. Even the Corpsemaker and my old master feared its terrible power."

"Anything you can tell me about those skeletons and...whatever it is you are?" He asks.

"I was a Spirit fused with a Soul piece. Those skeletons are actually the result of several devil fruit users working together to make. There was the Bone Bone power, and a few others as well. Don't expose them to salt, sun, or sea water."

"Sound pretty useless." He mutters.

"Hm well, they were a lot stronger when their makers were still alive. Frankly, I am not even sure how they still even capable of moving. They got a life of their own...somehow. Its why they outlived their Creators I think. Now for the business at hand do we stay or leave?"

"We stay," sighs the man. "I owe both of those two my life. Doctor Sicko somehow came up with the means to buy me more time and the fruit's owner was the Machine Machine Human."

"Ah I see, well good to know at least we won't be the enemy of that Plague fruit eater. There were very few things my master or the Corpsemaker feared but it was certainly one of them."

"As for you three-eyed boy thanks for keeping quiet and why were you so interested in those cages?"

"Need something to keep my icy predatory plants from eating the crew," you smoothly reply.

"Oh...that makes sense actually," nods the skull. "But they aren't made of normal ice. Better off finding something else that wont accidentally kill your plants."

After that, you left the ship and hear from the crew the Commodore has come up with a new destination. After that you boarded the ships and they departed once more.

All it took was some brutes to twist some iron together with their strength. Which should last until the plants are strong enough to breakthrough iron.

Sparring it is.

As the ships traveled onward you transferred yourself to a cargo ship which had many decks partially removed. Creating a large arena within the ship itself. Here the pirates gathered, cheered, and fought with ease. Here there was constant fighting and full of rowdy pirates.

You climbed the stairs and the crudely made stands from what remained of the removed decks. The lights hanging off the remaining decks to light everything up. You walked down to the fighting ring itself.

Here the 'games' were arranged. Fighting here was vicious thanks to the toughness of the combatants fighting here would kill a normal man when he tries to face off against all those monsters...

Looking at the current fight you could see Snake was fighting off against a Brute. He isn't looking so good given the brute throws an anchor chain when he moves too far away and a giant club when he gets close. Eventually Snaky surrenders and the arena is cleared.

Here you approached the Arena Master.

"I want to fight."

"Oh yeah you just been cleared for entry," nods the Arena Master. "So tell me what's going to be your very first fight boy?"

"Brute or Shade."

"...Wow go big or go home huh," says the arena master in shock after awhile as what you said sinks in. "Those two types are the hardest...heh this aught to be good. Alright head over to that gate while I call down your foe."

Soon the lights start to move and whirl around as a voice appears over the speakers.

"ALRIGHT BOYS WE GOT A SPECIAL FIGHT FOR US ALL TODAY," Shouts the announcer over the loudspeaker. "In one corner we have the three-eyed plant boy and in the other Brother Bru the Brute! Yes, that's right for the first time EVER our three-eyed kid is gonna fight in the big RING! Place your bets!"

"FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT," screams the pirates.

Soon the door before you opens and at the other side you could see the Brute charge out. His overgrown muscles rippling and his hilariously small head and tiny eyes glared at you. "OOH ME CRUSH YOU LIKE A PANCAKE!" He howls as he lifts his chains and throws them at you.

You throw yourself at the way. The right move as it turned out as those chains whip themselves over with amazing speed. The brute just keeps on whipping those thick chains trying to catch you with them as he plods on over. Heavy step after heavy step.

You stay defensive dodging the chains as he makes his way over. You know that will be even more trouble once he gets close. Brutes are tough and strong. Their agility had been lacking but ever since the Commodore's training program for them their speed has increased. Their only weakness is they are dumb as sack of bricks.

This came out in despite you dodging the chains every time he never stopped using the same tricks over and over with them. As you got the hang of it became much easier to dodge them.

The only problem is that brute is gaining on you and slowly constricting your movements. You're slowly losing your ways to escape and the brutes sprinting speed isn't something to be underestimated. They may not have them as fast as the Shades whose only their shadows can be seen but their burst speed is no joke.

Suddenly the brute howled and charged forward. One heavy step and lurched later. He came flying at you like a fast moving wrecking ball made of pissed off meat and thick angry bone. You smiled as the Brute fell for your trap as you carefully stepped out of the way at the very last second *BOOM*.

The Brute slammed right into the wall behind leaving a solid indent as he stumbled back complaining "Owie stupid wall getting in the way of Fist."

Seeing as you finally had an opening you attempted to press your advantage. Striking at the brute yourself discovering its thick slabs of muscle and bone proved to be formidable means of natural armor. You had trouble to breaking through it and the brute once its slow mind caught up to what happened starting to swing at you. Now that you were close enough for him to reach. Luckily his mind still seemed addled from slamming into the wall giving you time to retreat.

Miffed that during the opening you weren't able to do that much damage. Once the brute cleared his head he started to swing his chains and slowly press his way toward you once more.

You decide to flank the brute. Brutes in truth aren't all that agile but they do have is burst speed from all those muscles. If you keep the burst speed in mind its possible to dodge them which unfortunately for you right now was seen through by the Captain and had them trained to use agile weapons to compensate. Fortunately for you they are very dumb.

So you moved into flanking spot forcing the Brute to turn his body towards you and moved between the attack ranges of his two weapons. The chains and the club. Confusing him over which he should use and forcing him to constantly adjust his position.

The pressure to the moving+which weapon to use proved too much for the dimwitted brute. As he abruptly stopped moving and went berserk. Swinging his chains around madly in rage and over his headache of trying to do both at the same time.

You took the time to flank him and pressed your attack. Smashing the brute with your wooden limbs and lashing him with your whips. Just as he moved to target you just had to move along with him. Finally he gave in and dropped his chains to grab his club with both hands for a mighty swing. Giving you time to dodge below the swing and moved out of the way.

Except unexpectedly the enraged Brute chased after you howling as attempts to run you over or smash you into paste with his clumb.

Seeing the enraged brute charging at you like a wrecking ball of destruction. You do the only sane thing you rolled to the side and as he went passed attacked him. The Brute instead of turning around just kept on charging until he realized you weren't in front of him anymore. In which case he stopped seemingly unable to realize you attacked him and dodged his attack at the same time.

The brute looked around before turning around and noticing you once more. When the brute threw the chain he wasn't holding you looked at his empty arm dumbly then back at where he dropped the chains with a furrowed brow.

"You trick me," muttered the Brute. "YOU TRICKED ME!" With a single step the brute was suddenly gone. Only to reappear right in front of you as he swung down screaming "I SMASH YOU!"
