[005 - video/action for Discedo]

[You know how the comm sometimes turns itself on? And you usually don't notice because you're kinda busy with something else at the moment? For.....whatever reason? Yeah, this is one of those times. Luffy would've noticed his comm was on if he hadn't been a bit preoccupied. He's staring at something, and not moving at all. At what you ask?

This guy.

And at first, Luffy's just completely shocked to see him. But then his anger overtook him, and he stormed to after him, fists ready for a punch.]

AKAINU YOU GODDAMN BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The minute I said  I"m not letting them get away means.....you need to abandon the idea that he's going to survive, shit-for-brains.

Akainu! Haven't you bit the dust yet!?!?! Did he melt the ground and come around that way!? [Akainu is seen standing over a large fishmen, kneeling on the ground.]

Hand over Dragon's son! Jinbei!!!!!

I cannot do that. I have decided to protect this man if it costs my life. [His voice is firm, and determined. Luffy stops running, and just stares at Jinbei. Obviously, a bit dumbfounded. Jinbei..........he was that willing to protect Luffy?]

Well, then. I won't ask you again!!!! [Akainu's hand soon turned into magma, and he charged toward Jinbei. Luffy shouted out for him to stop, but soon, the images faded, and Luffy was left there. Standing in complete and utter disbelief. Was that how it all happened? But.......what else? Blackbeard shows up, right? Dammit.......why did he have to miss it all?] ..............fuck.

Luffy....

[straw_hat]

[Whoa shit, where'd you come from.]

Ah....Mar...co....

[fierybluebird]

[OUT OF THIN AIR. No, but he's been out looking for his little brothers. They can be idiots. Even though it induces him to far too many Blackbeard ghost memories and hallucinations.]

Hey kid. [Winged hug.] You okay?

[straw_hat]

Uh.......yeah, I......guess so. [All of that was just. Pretty shocking.]

[fierybluebird]

You're going to see a lot out there right now. [Blackbeard every time he turns around is starting to get to him.]

Some is memories, some is fiction. Just don't let it get to your head, eh? Let me see some of that haki the Dark King was teaching you.

[straw_hat]

Yeah, I saw a couple others......

[He swallows.] That was....from Marineford after I passed out, wasn't it?

--I can't use my haki yet. I still have to get my chip out.

[fierybluebird]

Yeah... Jinbei really took a shining to you, eh? It's rare. He doesn't like most humans. [Distant look. He's not sure if he's relieved it stopped just before he dove in and yelled at Jinbei to Luffy out of there or not. He seems to be reliving it anyway.]

Hn... understood.

[straw_hat]

He doesn't? [Well.....he really didn't know much about Jinbei at all.]

I'm gonna see if I can get it out soon, though....

[fierybluebird]

No. The majority haven't given him any reason to. He loves Pops and our crew, we would have offered him a position to join, but he wanted to be shichibukai to protect Fishman Island. And even now, I'm sure he'll still want to do that... if in secret.

That might be a good idea. I'll make sure Ace has the seastone cuffs back.

[straw_hat]

He still is. I know it for a fact. He's doing a good job of it, too.

[Quirks an eyebrow.] Why the cuffs?

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

...

[straw_hat]

[Yeah, he's still in shock. You'll have to talk to him if you want his attention.]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

L-Luffy?

ac.....tion? video? idk?

[straw_hat]

--eh? [Turning.] Ah....hey...China....

sorry, video >///<

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Do not listen to them. They are only illusions, aru.

[video] OKAY JUST CHECKIN'

[straw_hat]

....it really happened, though. I just didn't know he-- [brb lost in thought.]

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

I know. I saw my sister too, aru. She was speaking the words she spoke from the last conversation I had with her. [Before he was summoned back to Fortuna.]

[video]

[straw_hat]

.......it gets kind of annoying.

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

It does. It brings back unpleasant memories too, aru.

[video]

[straw_hat]

Mn.........fucking scientists.

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

They seem to enjoy toying with us, but I wonder if this is really their doing, aru. Is it theirs, or someone else?

[video]

[straw_hat]

.....who else could it be?

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

There is the unknown sender of those text messages, aru. Or anyone else who we may not know of yet.

The scientists and us are not the only people on this planet. There are some native survivors, aru.

[video]

[straw_hat]

Natives? Are they around here anywhere?

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

I do not think so. Awhile ago, we all had to split up and one group went into the forest and found a walled city there, aru. However, I am not sure what happened to those people since they were probably caught up in the incident with the fakes.

[video]

[straw_hat]

A walled city.....

Wait, fakes?

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Yes, but the natives threatened to shoot them if they tried coming closer, or entering their city, aru.

It is a long story, but I was told by someone I knew that one day they heard screaming from the city. When they investigated, they saw corpses without their skin and then the survivors were telling them to leave the forest if they knew what was good for them, aru.

Soon, the same body snatchers attacked many people in Discedo, Dissimulo, and Spero. I heard they tore the skin from the corpses and put it on themselves, which is how they were able to fool us at first. Their secret did not last long, aru.

[video]

[straw_hat]

Are they just protecting it, or is something there?

[And Luffy looks kinda horrified at that.] That's just.....disgusting.

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Our group never found out. No one has gone back there since either, aru. Who knows what may still be there.

It was. Then these people made a news broadcast about it and treated it as though it were some game. [He frowns at that.]

[video]

[straw_hat]

Hn......there might be something to help us get home.

[He tenses up, and gets serious.] They treated fucking with people's lives like a game????

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

...I never thought of that, aru. Perhaps we should organize a team to go look once this ordeal is over. Even if we do not find a way to return home, there is still the possibility of finding something useful.

[He nods solemnly, still frowning.]

If they were among us, they probably would not be doing such things, aru.

[video]

[straw_hat]

[He says this, yet he's the most hesitant to leave.] It sounds like a good idea.

They'd damn well better not.

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

I will discuss this with some others, aru. Should this plan be put to work, we will have to bring food, water, weapons, and any other items that could be useful to us on our trip.

[He would think up of more things, but his mind was still occupied by what was currently going on.]

[video]

[straw_hat]

We could have a certain group get supplies, and another plan the trip.

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Good idea.

But... before we can get deeper into that, we have to get past his current situation first, aru.

[video]

[straw_hat]

[He goes silent, and stares at where the ghosts were standing.]

.....yeah.

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

From what I have heard, this place is often cruel and very rarely does it show its better half, aru.

[video]

[straw_hat]

[Looks to where the ghosts were.]

......yeah, that's true.

[Voice]

[dontcallmegol.livejournal.com]

Sh-shit... {This was one of those things he hadn't seen. He knew Jimbei took Luffy somewhere safe though, so that... god he already knows he'll survive Akainu at least but still. This wasn't an easy thing watch either knowing damn well he's already passed away at this point.}

[Voice]

[straw_hat]

A...Ace...... [Why was this always so hard to talk about. Fucking.....ugh. He doesn't like this at all. Why couldn't it be something like Ace, Luffy, and Sabo as kids.]

He..... [At a loss for words. Swallows.] .......they got me out....

[Voice]

[dontcallmegol.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I know, Marco told me ... {He was wincing, you could probably hear the tightness in his voice.}

You okay?

[Voice]

[straw_hat]

......I'll......I'll be fine..... [His voice was a little quiet, and somewhat blank.]

They're just.....kinda hard to deal with......

[Voice]

[dontcallmegol.livejournal.com]

I know bro... we just gotto hang in there a little longer.

[Voice]

[straw_hat]

[A firm nod and serious look.] We'll make it through this.

[He pauses.] I've got you guys here to help me.
