Fated Meeting

As the Going Merry headed to the island, they went inside a thick fog that made it hard to see. However, after passing through the thick fog, they were met with an island that had nothing but vast greenery and no animals in sight. The island was just grass and a few trees that are far apart from each other. The trees were long and thin, and could be seen from even afar.

"This place… Is kind of depressing," complained Sanji

"I wonder if anyone actually lives here?" Pondered Robin 

Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper got off the ship and began to roll on the ground happily, even though there was nothing on the island. However, as they finished rolling on the grass, they suddenly saw a bear-like creature that was standing like a human. 

"A human?" Asked the emergency food

"No way! This thing is too hairy and big to be a human! It has to be a bear!" Said Luffy as he jumped on its back.

The bear sweated and got confused, as the three hopped on it like it was their ride. Luffy saw some fruits and used his Devil Fruit to obtain it. What he got amused him, as it was a long apple.

"Hey look! It's a long apple!" Yelled luffy

"You know what? The trees are long here too!" commented Usopp

The bear shook them off and went away. However, after being shaken off, Usopp began to look around and found a small house.

"Hey, I see a house!" Yelled Usopp

The three went towards the house while Robin and Zoro noticed a ship inside a fog that disappeared as they noticed it momentarily. As they got off the Going Merry, the straw hats that were left behind by the Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper, suddenly heard a cannon shot, with two paws appearing and locking on the land while also blocking the Going Merry.

"You lookin' for a fight?!" asked Zoro

The crew on the gigantic ship that blocked the Going Merry explained the fight they wanted and mocked the Straw Hats. However, they all went quiet when 2 gigantic tentacles spawned out of the ground and hit their ship, causing massive damage and casualties. 

Screamings could be heard on the ship, and as they stopped and looked at who did it, they saw a frowning Baal staring at them. 

"D-Didn't you hear what we just said?! We will have to fight in another way, once your captain agrees, there is no take back!" Yelled one of the guys on the ship

Baal raised his hand and said, "I don't give a shit"

Baal was about to spawn another tentacle and destroy the whole ship, but was stopped by Zoro who said, "If Luffy agrees, then we're playing. He's our captain."

Baal snorted and responded to Zoro while looking at the other Straw Hats, "Don't you all have a dream to chase? We could use this time for training in Haki, I could help you get stronger for your future, instead of playing these stupid games."

The Straw Hats began to think about their dreams, with Robin having the most emotions and thinking about her past. But it was soon cut as Zoro said, "We do have our own dreams, but we also have to follow orders from our captain"

Nami sighed and said, "Well, I'm sure Luffy isn't dumb enough to-" 

BANG

Loud gunshots were heard from afar, cutting Nami off and signifying the start of the game.

In the vast sea

A ship could be sailing and a man with long hair and green cloak stood at the back of the ship, staring at the vast sea. The man was Dragon, the father of Monkey D. Luffy.

"You need more training… Sabo" 

Dragon began to speak as two people walked behind him, Sabo and Yasuo.

Sabo laughed a bit while rubbing the back of his head and said, "Yeah, I didn't think he would be that strong"

Dragon turned around and looked at the two, "He is the one that caught Vasco Shot with ease after all."

There was a pause for a moment until Sabo broke it by saying, "I've regained my memory"

Dragon widened his eyes then quickly calmed down, "What do you remember?"

Sabo explained his past to Dragon. He explained how he was a noble, what he was like as a kid, and what it was like in the Island he stayed on. Then he finally said while smiling, "And I finally remembered my two brothers, Ace and Luffy"

Dragon stiffened and asked, "Luffy? The Rookie in East Blue?"

With a big and proud grin, Sabo answered with his chest, "Yeah!"

Dragon smiled at Sabo and thought, 'Who could have guessed… Is it fate that led you here?'

Dragons' thoughts were broken by Sabo who suddenly asked, "I want to meet my brothers… Can I take a leave for a while to go meet them?"

Dragon looked at Sabo and was cut off as he was about to speak, "I'll go with him. I want to teach him the wind technique, since my master wanted to teach him," 

Dragon was surprised that Yasuo himself would bring up the teaching of the wind technique, as it was a precious fighting style that could rival Devil Fruits.

"Sure, I'll let you leave for a few months. However, you mustn't show yourself in public too often, and you must train your Haki… Teach Yasuo how to use Haki too."

"Thank you!"

On an unknown island

"COBY THAT'S ENOUGH!!!"

Helmeppo's scream could be heard throughout the island where the marine SWORD organization trained. Helmeppo and Coby have been training their Haki since Kur gave them a book about it. Garp has yet to teach them Haki as they aren't ready yet.

Kur said the same thing as Garp, but he taught them the basics of Observation Haki and taught the two how obtain it. The two have been diligently working hard, but their efforts doesn't seem to have any effect as all they have achieve so far are bruises and and beaten up faces. 

"Why the hell did you hit so hard?!" Yelled Helmeppo

Coby scratched the back of his head and apologized, but Helmeppo was still mad and said, "Whatever, it's your turn. Sit down and try to dodge my attacks!"

Coby sat down while Helmeppo had sinister thoughts. However, when Helmeppo tried to stike Coby with everything he got, Coby easy predicted and dodged.

"Y-YOU DODGED IT?!"
