Thirteen woke up the next morning on the deck of the Merry, he got to his feet and looked around, he saw Robin and Zoro sleeping in the deck as well. He walked over and grabbed them before carrying them towards the rest of the crew, he passed through the forest and arrived at the campgrounds. He put both of them down on the ground before grabbing some of the leftover food and eating, waiting for the rest of the crew to wake up.
A while later
The rest woke up and saw Thirteen eating leftovers, Luffy said "Where did you go last night?" Thirteen said "The Merry." Luffy nodded and sat down to eat as well, the rest of the crew eat before deciding to split into groups and separate. Thirteen went with Luffy, Zoro, Chopper, and Robin to the golden city while the rest leave the Upper Yard on the Merry.
Thirteen was walking with the group when a giant snake attacked them, scattering the group, Thirteen ended up with Zoro while the rest disappeared. Zoro said "I hate this place." Thirteen nodded and said "Me too." Zoro sighed and the duo moved along in a random direction. They came across a man with a hat that covered his eyes, who immediately attacked them, Zoro, who had been training with Thirteen's weights on for some time now, easily defeated him with a single slash.
Thirteen said "You got stronger." Zoro nodded and said "It's not enough." Thirteen was silent before saying "When will it be enough?" as the duo passed the man and kept walking. Zoro said "When I can protect the crew myself." Thirteen was silent as they walked, the duo eventually reached a clearing with Wyper, Gan Fall, a giant python, and a man with a dog standing there.
The man said "None of you will escape my ordeal of iron." Wyper snapped "Ohm! You die here today!" Ohm sneered and said "I don't think so." Thirteen said "Is that guy a priest?" Gan Fall nodded and said "He is. His name is Ohm." Thirteen nodded and created an after image where he was standing before appearing in front of Ohm and star punching him in the stomach, sending him flying into the air.
Thirteen unraveled his chains and shot into the air, he wrapped his chains around Ohm's neck and strangled him before slamming him down on the ground. Thirteen pulled on his chains and stepped on Ohm's back as he said "You're weak just like that guy with the bird." Ohm choked out "You killed Shura?" Thirteen said "I don't know who that is, but if you mean the guy with the bird and lance then yes."
Thirteen grabbed Ohm's wings and ripped them off, causing Ohm to scream in pain. Thirteen watched the blood flood out of his body as his eyes flashed red, he covered his chains in twinkles and fire as he pulled harder and harder, choking Ohm slowly before ripping his head right off his shoulders. Thirteen wrapped his chains back around his arms and picked up Ohm's sword, it changed into different shapes and was made out of clouds, he put it on his waist and kicked Ohm's headless corpse away.
The surrounding people were shocked and Zoro was more worried than anything, he knew how strong Thirteen was but he also saw the red flash in his eyes this time, he squinted at Thirteen and saw him lick the blood off his face as a red light flashed in his eyes. Zoro frowned and was getting more and more worried, Wyper said "That's it?" Thirteen said "There's still the dog." Wyper sighed and sat down.
Gan Fall saw a little girl with Nami and said "What are you doing here?" The little girl said "All of Enel's priests have been defeated, two of them were killed by him." Thirteen looked at the little girl and she stumbled backwards in fear as she turned as white as a ghost, Thirteen frowned and Gan Fall said "Aisa, what's wrong?" Aisa shook as she said "What is that?" Nami and Zoro frowned and Thirteen sighed, he didn't expect himself to look strange in a place where people have wings.
Gan Fall said "He is an ally. He's from the blue sea, some races have tails and ears like animals, I've met some before, though they were covered in fur." Thirteen said "A big dog and a big cat?" Gan Fall nodded and said "How did you know?" Thirteen said "Seems like they've been everywhere." Aisa said "It's not the way he looks! It's the other thing!" Thirteen frowned and looked around, not seeing anything.
Aisa paled and said "Leave me alone!" everybody looked at Thirteen, who was confused himself and said "I didn't say anything." Nami frowned and remembered what Thirteen said to Ace, she said to Aisa "You hear another voice?" Aisa nodded fearfully and Nami said "What's it saying?" Aisa said "It said that it would one day break free and kill everyone." Thirteen grimaced and Nami said "Are you sure?" Aisa nodded and covered her ears.
Thirteen sighed and walked away, Zoro said "Where are you going?" Thirteen said "Somewhere alone." Nami and Zoro frowned and Nami said "Why? You're not going to lose control and whatever it is hasn't escaped, we're all safe now aren't we?" Thirteen said "For now." as he continued, Zoro stared at him and said "You can't leave. Luffy hasn't allowed it yet." Thirteen stopped and said "I'm too dangerous." Zoro drew his swords and said "I can put you down if I have to." Thirteen was silent and suddenly the ground fell out under them.
The ground landed in front of two people, the man with long ears electrocuted the snake as Nami grabbed Aisa before running to hide, she left Aisa in a hidden spot before hiding in another spot. Thirteen said "Who are you?" the man said "I am God." Thirteen said "Really?" Robin said "It's Enel." Thirteen nodded and said "Oh. Enemy?" the group nodded and Thirteen disappeared and reappeared with his arm through Enel's chest.
Enel looked down and said "You're quite vicious aren't you?" Thirteen got electrocuted and punched at Enel's head, going right through before jumping back and saying "Electric Logia?" Enel sneered and said "That's right." Thirteen twinkled his hands and punched into the dirt in front of Enel, he threw a bunch of dirt at him and punched through the dirt and hit Enel in the face, sending him flying into a building.
The group was shocked and said "You hit him!?" Thirteen nodded and said "Electricity doesn't work against dirt." Enel got up and said "Too bad you don't have enough." as he flashed in front of Thirteen, kicking at his head. Thirteen ducked and threw dirt in the air before uppercutting Enel in the stomach. He grabbed Enel's golden staff and stuck it in the dirt before lifting it and sending dirt everywhere, Thirteen spin the staff around and smashed it against a dirt chunk and hit Enel, sending him flying back.
Enel snapped "ENOUGH!" as he pointed at Thirteen and said "El Thor!" a huge pillar of lightning fell from the sky and struck Thirteen, who just stood there. The pillar dispersed and revealed Thirteen standing there smoking slightly, Enel frowned and pointed again, Thirteen moved and lifted more dirt before stabbing through and poking at Enel, who twisted his body and grabbed the staff sending a current through it, electrocuting Thirteen. Enel kicked him and sent a lightning bolt at him, electrocuting him again as he said "200 million volts!" Thirteen grunted in pain as the rest of the group charged at Enel, Thirteen lost consciousness and passed out on the ground.
A while later
Thirteen woke up from a loud bell ringing, he sat up and looked around, he saw some of the crew and walked over. They looked at him and Robin said "Are you alright?" Thirteen nodded and said "Where's Luffy and Nami?" Zoro pointed to the sky and said "Luffy just rang the bell and beat Enel." Thirteen nodded and sat down, saying "So we're leaving now?" Robin said "I think after the party." Thirteen sighed and laid down on the ground staring at the sky. Sure enough, Luffy came back and proclaimed that they were partying.
A while later
Thirteen was watching the crew party again, while he was drinking by himself. He grabbed a barrel and lifted it on his shoulders before walking away from the party, Nami, Robin, and Zoro watched him go out of the corner of their eyes.
Thirteen found a nice spot by himself and sat down with the barrel. He made a hole in the top and drink from the barrel as he stared at the stars and started drawing, it wasn't that he didn't like parties, he was trying to distance himself from the rest. He knew he was dangerous, he knew that one day he might snap, maybe he would even attract an admiral to them, he sighed to himself, he had to leave before they were put in danger. As much as he didn't want to, he didn't have a choice, he drew animals representing every one on the crew.
A monkey for Luffy
A lion for Zoro
A bull for Sanji
A cat for Nami
A chameleon for Usopp
A falcon for Robin
And a raccoon for Chopper
The animals danced around happily together and Thirteen drew a big tiger near them, the rest of the animals scattered and disappeared, the tiger looked around and dropped it's tail before dispersing itself.
Thirteen sighed and finished the barrel, his ear twitched and he heard Robin say "Not the best of your shows so far." Thirteen looked up in the air and said "Better than this one." he drew all their animals again but this time the tiger killed all the others before running away.
Robin watched and said "Can I try?" Thirteen lift his hand and Robin grabbed it and started drawing. She drew all the animals again but now they were all sleeping on top of a giant rabbit together, Thirteen stared at the drawing and said "That doesn't work forever. Watch." A giant monkey, dog, and rooster showed up. The tiger pushed the rest away and charged at the three enemies as the rest escaped, the tiger was quickly torn to shreds and the three left.
Thirteen stared at the drawings in a daze and Zoro said "Or you could do this." he grabbed his hand and drew the animals fighting off the three enemies together. Nami said "Or this." she drew the animals calming the tiger down. Thirteen said "How do you know the animals won't all die?" the three smiled and said "Because they're all fighting together." the tiger drawing's chains exploded and the animals all danced around happily. Thirteen was stunned as he looked at the drawings, he didn't do it that time, tears fell from his eyes and he smiled as he whispered "Thank you.." and the animals in the sky ran off together, disappearing into the distance.
The next morning
The crew was standing near the Merry waiting for Robin to come back do they could leave, Robin came back with a bunch of Skypeians and a giant cylinder wrapped in paper. Thirteen wondered what was in the paper, and Usopp said "It's a giant cannon!" the crew started running but Thirteen frowned, that didn't make sense, why would Robin be fine if they were bringing a giant Cannon to them. Robin and the Skypeians arrived in front of Thirteen and Robin said "Why are they running?" Thirteen said "Usopp thought that was a giant cannon." Robin sighed and said "That's ridiculous."
Thirteen nodded and said "It is. If it was a giant cannon, you would be dead already." Robin giggled "Maybe you would have to pick up the pieces." Thirteen nodded and said "I'd probably bury you here though." Robin giggled and shook her head as they lead the Skypeians to the Merry.
The duo arrived at the Merry with the giant paper wrapped object and Luffy said "Thirteen, Robin! Run!" The duo sighed and Thirteen said "It's a gift. Not a giant cannon." the Skypeians unwrapped the paper revealing a giant pillar of gold, Nami melted into a puddle and squeezed her legs together mumbling "So much gold..." Thirteen tilted his head at her and Zoro said "That won't fit on the ship." Nami stood up and snapped "Go cut it up! Sanji get it all on the ship! The rest of you help! Now!" as she lifted her fist and glared at them, they all scrambled to get into action and soon enough the gold was all on the ship and Nami was laying down on it, rubbing her face against it.
The Skypeians thanked the crew and Conis guided them to cloud's end. They arrived there and Conis said "Get ready for the drop!" The crew said "The drop?" and the Merry plummeted to the blue sea, Conis chuckled and whistled, causing a giant balloon octopus to latch onto the Merry and slowly float down to the sea.
The Merry landed on the sea with a splash and waved good bye to the octopus, who flew away as they continued sailing towards where ever the Logpose pointed them to. Thirteen started his training and gave the cuffs to Sanji and Zoro as he did his routine. Robin walked over and sat on top of him as she had been doing every time he worked out, he quickly hid something in his shirt, but Robin noticed and said "What was that?" Thirteen said "I don't know what you're talking about." as he continued his workout.
Robin crossed her arms and an arm appeared on his body grabbing what he hid and taking it out. Robin held it in her hands and said "How to please a woman" her eye twitched and she snapped "WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?!" Thirteen said "I stole it from Gan Fall." Robin grit her teeth and threw the book saying "When I find the person writing these books, I'm gonna kill him." the book flew through the air and hit Usopp right in the face, he looked down and picked up the book. He opened and read some of it before saying "YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO THAT?!" he looked around and stuffed the book in his overalls before mumbling "Gotta add this one to my collection.." as he walked towards his room. Thirteen said "That's mine!" Usopp ignored him and ran away, Thirteen sighed and Robin shook her head as Thirteen continued with his work out.
A while later
The ship landed on an island with extremely tall trees, Thirteen clicked his cuffs back on and put the key on a necklace he had Nami make. Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp decided to explore the island as the rest stayed on the ship, Thirteen hopped off the ship and decided to practice his new move that hadn't been perfected yet. He was extremely close at 99%, but the last percentage was extremely hard to control. He started practicing at 100% and smashing into trees, rocks, and the ground. He even crashed into the water but Zoro pulled him out, he continued and slowly got the hang of it as a ship came up behind the Merry and shot out two paw looking anchors with chains at the island, blocking the Merry from escaping.
Thirteen turned and disappeared from where he was standing and reappeared on the enemy ship before he started decimating the crew. One of the people said "Why are you doing this?!" Thirteen plunged his hand into his chest and said "You're enemies. My enemies die." another pirate said "STOP! We'll leave! Let us go!" a bunch of them scrambled and retracted the paws into the ship, Thirteen stared at them and jumped off their ship, landing on the island before going back to training, that was good practice as he had to control his movements at 100% in close quarters, he was really close to perfecting it.
A while later
Thirteen and the rest of the crew heard a gunshot just after Thirteen stopped. They turned their heads and saw Luffy's group coming back with another couple people, Thirteen ignored it since they looked fine and used his movement technique again, creating 5 after images this time, he stopped in front of the crew and said "It's perfected. 100% Speed and perfect control." Zoro said "What are you going to name it?" Thirteen rubbed his chin and said "Star God's Broken Shadow" Luffy said "That's a cool name!" Thirteen smiled and said "I have 5 after images now, but if I get faster physically i'll have more." Zoro said "What's the limit?" Thirteen thought about it and said "I think the max is 9 shadows, so 10 of me." he shook slightly and 5 other Thirteen's appeared.
One of them said "They can't talk or move and you'll go right through them." Luffy punched at one and chose the real Thirteen, who dodged his fist and said "Wrong one." Luffy chuckled and punched through the other 5, dispersing them. The crew was amazed and Robin said "How long to they last for?" Thirteen said "Around 10 seconds. If I go back through them they stay for longer. But if you smash them, they disappear." the crew nodded and a man with a split hair cut said "Where are those bastards? I told them to lock down your ship."
The crew was confused and Zoro blocked Thirteen with his arm before saying "Luffy, I need you to explain what he's talking about, right now." Luffy thought of something and said "He shot this guy's horse and challenged me to a davy back fight. He's an enemy." Zoro let out a breath of relief and said "Thank god." Thirteen nodded and said "I killed half of them before they ran away." the split haired man paled and said "WHAT?!" Thirteen said "They came out of nowhere and blocked our ship with chains. I don't know you, why would you think I wouldn't kill them?"
The rest of the crew nodded and Zoro said "You're pretty stupid." the split haired man and the two other who were with him paled and ran away saying "We forfeit! You win!" as they disappeared, Luffy pouted and said "Aww, I thought it would be fun.." Zoro said "Not much of a challenge if you ask me. I mean Thirteen has a 500 million bounty and me and you have 100 and 60 each, if never heard of them in my life and I was a bounty hunter." Robin said "Davy back fights are dumb anyways." as she shook her head.
Luffy pouted and said "You guys are no fun!" Thirteen said "I ran run you around the island if you want." Luffy wrapped himself around Thirteen and they disappeared, the crew sighed and a minute later they reappeared. Luffy's hair was spiked back and he laughed "So fast!" Thirteen let him down and said "And we didn't even have to fight a bunch of weaklings." The crew chuckled and Thirteen looked over at a man lying down on the floor sleeping with a book next to him, Thirteen appeared next to him and saw the book, he stole it and flashed away while hiding it.
He rejoined the crew as they walked back to the Merry, the man who was sleeping stepped in their path and said "Ara Ara who took my 'How to' book?" The crew looked at Thirteen, who put his hands up in innocence, but the book fell out of his shirt. Robin picked it up and said "How to be a gentleman" she hit him over the head with the book and threw it away grumbling about the author as the book hit Usopp square in the face. He opened it and said "I'M SUPPOSED TO SAY WHAT?!" before tucking it in his overalls silently.
Thirteen said "You came for me?" as he walked in front of the group and stared at the man, who stared at him as well and said "Not specifically, I also came to see if Nico Robin was with you all. You caused quite the stir in the papers though, a lot of marines hoping to take your, to put it in their exact words, 'Half-breed Slave' head, although that's a bit extreme." Thirteen nodded and said "I see, so have you come to catch me and parade me around the marine base? I don't remember seeing you chase after any slaves when I was still in Hell."
Luffy said "Who's that?" Robin was shaking as she said "Admiral Aokiji" the crew nodded and got serious, preparing for a fight.
Aokiji said "I never did chase after slaves, I didn't like it. But there are a bunch of marines who are jumping at the chance to capture you." Thirteen nodded and said "Then I guess i'll just have to kill them all until I get captured. I hope you work your way up from the grunts, i'd rather do some damage before they decide to send all three Admirals at me." Aokiji said "You're not scared? I can kill you all right here." Thirteen nodded and said "I haven't felt fear for years now, and you could but you won't. If you were you would've already done it."
Aokiji turned to ice and said "You sure about that?" Thirteen caught fire and said "9/10" as he stared into Aokiji's eyes, Aokiji stared back and saw his eyes flash red briefly and were filled with aggression, he frowned and said "That second voice is annoying." Thirteen said "I usually ignore it." Aokiji reverted to normal and said "Because I owe Straw Hat's Grampa a favor, I'll spare you all today." Thirteen's eyes flashed red with disappointment before turning back to blue and emotionless as he reverted back to normal as well and walked away, dragging Robin with him.
Aokiji watched him go and said to the rest "I assume you realize how dangerous he is. That voice didn't say good things." Zoro nodded and said "I know he can handle it." Luffy said "I believe in him too." the rest of the crew nodded and followed after Thirteen in the direction of the Merry. Aokiji said to the man with a horse "Come with me I'll make a bridge for you to reunite with your tribe." The man thanked him and they left.
The crew arrived on the Merry and sailed away from the island. Thirteen was sitting on the railing of the Merry with Robin and said "Nothing happened. Calm down, you're okay." Robin was still shivering as she said "Is it wrong for me to be scared?" Thirteen said "No but remember what Zoro drew on Skypeia?" Robin nodded and Thirteen said "We fight together. I'm not alone anymore and neither are you." Robin turned and looked at him, he stared into the sky and smiled before turning to her and saying "You'll never be alone again."
Robin stared at him in a daze and unintentionally getting closer, Thirteen watched her eyes and moved closer unintentionally as well, their lips met and they closed their eyes. They separated and Thirteen turned away, Robin smiled and leaned her head on his shoulder as she said "Shy?" Thirteen looked up and said "No. I'm not a good person." Robin said "Why do you say that?" Thirteen pointed to his piercing and said "I like her too. I like both of you, but she's not here. Maybe one day there will be someone else too. I don't deserve you." Robin was silent before saying "Will you still be with me? Even if you get someone else?" Thirteen said "Always." Robin smiled and said "Then I-"
Thirteen cut her off and said "But it's not fair to you. I don't have any concept of love or marriage. My owners always had more than one, but they were born into that. You weren't." he lifted his hands and said "Even when I'm free, I can't escape." Robin grabbed his hands and said "Maybe I haven't been in that environment but I know that I don't want to be without you. We help each other." she intertwined her fingers with his and smiled as she said "Like you said, we're more alike than either of us thought." Thirteen stared at his hands and said "You would be willing to share me with someone else?" she nodded and he said "Why? What's so special about me that makes you want that? I'm just a-"
Robin cut him off and said seriously "Don't. You're not anymore. I want to be with you because you make me happy, nothing will change that. Maybe it will take some getting used to but i'm willing to try, though I want to be first." Thirteen sighed and said "I don't understand, you can get all of this from someone else, who can focus on only you." Robin looked into his eyes and said "You don't want me?" Thirteen stared into her eyes and said "I do." he broke eye contact and said "But i'm not worth it."
Robin saw the brief flash of pain in his eyes, she squeezed his hand and said "You are to me." Thirteen turned to her, she looked into his eyes and saw hope and nervousness as he said "You mean that?" Robin smiled and nodded, his tail waved as he smiled to himself and turned away. He wrapped his tail around her and pulled her closer to him, she smiled and leaned her head back on his shoulder as the ship sailed towards their next stop.
