Headache

'Dammit. Only thing else I remember right now is Bell-mère. And how the hell am I supposed to save her!? She gets shot to the head! … Though in anime version she gets shot to the chest... hmm... Maybe I can work with this.' I start planning my next and probably last action. I change out of my workout clothes aka shorts and t-shirt into something more fitting.

I put on my Kancolle Abyssal Wo-class hoodie, some nice black pants and to top it all off my favorite tribal leather long coat and white dress gloves.

'Hell yeah...' I cover my eyes with the hood in a way that I can see enough but only my mouth is visible and put on my glow in the dark skull bandana.

'If only I had my long boots in this room instead of my workout sneakers, then everything would've been perfect.' I lament at my inability to access my whole wardrobe.

'Let's get this show on the road' I will to teleport to the point where Bell-mère will be shot on the chest and open the door.

-

As Bell-mère's body falls a white door suddenly appears next to her and opens up.

A figure walks out of the darkness that which is deeper than the darkest depths that the fishmen have ever seen.

The figure is clad in all black with unknown markings on his coat and a hood that mimics the maws of some sort of beast.

Only thing visible in the dark insides of the hood is a slightly glowing skeletal grin.

All action stops in the tangerine orchard and only the cry of the two children remains echoing in the still silence.

The figure grabs Bell-mère's body and drags it with it towards the abyss it came from as everyone watches silently.

Then the figure glances back towards the fishmen and looks at their leader.

"When the bell toll's thy name, I'll be back for you." It said in a demonic voice.

Leaving those ominous words as a parting gift the figure along with the pure white door to the abyss disappear.

-

"Crocus, emergency patient!" I quickly put Bell-mère on an operating table next to Crocus who has a 'tired of your shit' face and once again skedaddle out of there.

*Cough Cough* "Damn that voice did horrible things to my throat." I massage my throat and grab a drink from the bottle on my desk.

*Glug glug* "Aahh... Much better." I start taking off my awesome getup as it gets hot as hell and dress myself in black and white indoor pants and a black skintight bamboo t-shirt.

'So, what now?' I start contemplating. 'I've basically rescued what I could with my meager skill's and I don't really want to change so much that Luffy doesn't end up as the King of the Pirates. To be honest nothing will even change since when I wake up this will just be one of those fancy lucid dreams that I will remember and brag about to my friends.'

'But seriously after all this time I really need to take a piss. Is this actually a nightmare that doesn't let me go to the damn toilet? I grab my phone off the charger and try to get to my toilet once again.

What I see this time is something I didn't really expect. In a dim storeroom in front of me is an awestruck Luffy who is still munching on what seems to be apples while 1970-1990 side character looking Nobita's cousin Koby looks at me as if I was a ghost.

"Yo! I'm Monkey D. Luffy, nice to meetcha!" Luffy greets me while gorging himself on apples. I take a seat on a crate and grab an apple for myself.

"Nice to meet you too Luffy. Name's Dravde, a guy from a different world and the future. And that there is my magical travel door." I point at my trusty door and take a bite out of the apple.

"Good stuff!" 'No wonder people are strong here when a simple apple is great like this.'

"Wow, a magical door!" Luffy springs up and rushes to my door but can't get inside.

'Heh, just like Roger.' I smirk at his vain attempts and continue to eat some apples. Then something unthinkable happens...

He closes the door and it vanishes. "Ah... It's gone..." Luffy exclaims in confusion and I drop my apple to the floor.

'No one actually closed the door when I wasn't in there... FUCK!'

I rush and grab Luffy and "YOU BROKE MY ONLY WAY HOME YOU DAMN IDIOT!!!!" start shaking the bastard for destroying the only thing that made this dream cool.

"Stop, stop! I'm sorry!" Luffy cries in protest.

"Dammit Luffy! I should have your gramps teach you some more manners into that rubber skull of yours!" I threaten him while having a headache because of this bastard.

"YOU KNOW GRAMPS!? PLEASE NO! I'LL HELP YOU BACK HOME, SO PLEASE DON'T TELL HIM!" Luffy starts to panic as his childhood trauma with his gramps kicks in.

"You better!" I growl at him and let him go. I take a seat on another crate in annoyance as Luffy starts to panic eat away his worries and trauma.

"Umm... Luffy-san and Dravde-san, right?" Koby finally regains his sanity or composure, dunno which one did he lose in that episode just now because I lost both.

"Is this a pirate ship?" Luffy asks when he notices Koby while still munching his worries away. They start talking about how this ship is being raided by Alvida and how Luffy's ship sank in the whirlpool.

"You sure break everything, don't ya, Luffy?" I quip at Luffy in annoyance.

"I don't break everything!" Luffy retorts.

"Well, you broke my door."

"I said I'm sorry! Don't worry, I'll get you home!" Luffy answers with a confident smile.

I just shrug at him since at this point, I'm just waiting to wake up instead of puzzling how he plans to bring me to a different world.

"Say, are you one of those pirates, too?" Luffy asks Kody.

Kody's mood worsens as he starts telling his story about how he went to fishing but ended up as a slave for 2 years in a pirate ship for taking the wrong boat.

"Man, you're dumb and stupid!" I nod at Luffy's statement.

"If you don't like it, then run away!"

"I-I can't! No way! No way! Just the thought of Alvida-sama finding me frightens me and makes me weak in the knees..."

"Oh, you're a wimp, too? Man, I hate you!" Luffy roasts Koby straight to his face while laughing and I decide to keep my mouth shut otherwise the kid will die of depression.

"Umm... What compelled you to set out onto the sea, Luffy-san, Dravde-san?" Koby asks me and Luffy after recovering from Luffy's savage roasts.

"I'm gonna be the King of the Pirates!" Luffy announces casually as if he was going to take a walk.

"K-K-King of the Pirates?!" Koby asks his face aghast and slack-jawed." "Yep."

"Are you serious?!" "Yeah."

"Wait, you're a pirate Luffy-san?!" "Yep." I watch the stupid back and forth in amusement until Luffy says something I didn't expect.

"What about your crew?!" "Him." He points at me "And I'm just about to look for more."

"Who said anything about me being on your crew? You own me a ride but you ain't my captain, find someone else." I stop him and deny any involvement on his suicide quest.

"Oh, come on! You are a guy from the future and a different world with a magical door! I need you in my crew!" He starts explaining his reasoning to me and I'm not having it.

"A magical door that you broke! I ain't joining your crew! You'll help me or I'll feed you to Garp!" I threaten him again which was super effective!

"Ah, please no!" Luffy starts panicking.

Koby once again reboots himself and starts another back and forth with Luffy about the King of the Pirates and One Piece and how suicidal it is until Luffy decides to shut him up with a punch.

"It's not about whether I can or not. I'm gonna do it because I want to. I've decided to be the King of the Pirates, so if I die fighting for that, that's fine with me!" Luffy says while admiring his straw hat while Koby is awed.

'Big words now but you'll cry like a bitch in regret later. Well, he does still bounce back from it.' I remember the moment Ace dies in Luffy's arms and how he goes berserk after that.

"Now, then! My belly's full... guess I'll go get me a boat! I wonder if they'll give me one if I ask. Hopefully they're generous."

"Heh." I give a derisive chuckle at his remarks and follow Luffy to get out of here.
