CHAPTER 300 TOY STORY_Canon Fodder

CHAPTER 300 TOY STORY

 We prepared to leave the ship in the early morning when we reached Dressrosa. Nami, Chopper, Brook, and Sanji had volunteered to go to Zou to get Trafalgar’s crew. Sanji was with our group for now since the dropoff for Caesar wasn’t for a while yet. He and those doing the exchange would head back to the Sunny when time got closer.

 Trafalgar had suggested we put on disguises. Instead of that I just changed everyone’s faces with a Transformation Jutsu. I made Luffy into Sasuke again. Zoro I turned into Kakashi. Sanji I made into a blonde Jaraiya. Trafalgar I turned into Nighteye, their expressions were about the same anyway. Franky I turned into All Might since they were about the same size. I made Kinemon into Tanjiro from Demon yer, causing Momonosuke to demand the same, though he was staying on the ship. Robin opted to change herself with chakra, making her visage into a very disappointing less busty and blonde version of herself. I turned into Gene Starwind from Ouw Star.

 “Do me, do me,” Chopper said excitedly. I turned him into Happy from Fairy Tale, and he smiled widely.

 “Alright, everyone got their sheets of paper with names?” I asked. People patted pockets. “Alright, Cap, ready to disembark?”

 

 “Yosh,” Luffy said. “Let’s beat up a mingo.”

 

 I let out a sigh. “You do realize I was joking, and it’s a real person, right?”

 

 “You said he had pink feathers,” Luffy said, confused.

 

 “He wears a pink feather boa,” I said.

 

 “A snake?” Luffy asked.

 

 I felt the headacheing on. “Nevermind. Beat anyone up that people are running away from.” 

 

 “I can do that,” Luffy said, punching his hand. We got on to 2 of the small ships Franky had stored under the ship. One resembled the Going Merry, the sheeps head I took off of the ship mounted on the front. It was good to see it would be with us. 

 We got to the dock on Dressrosa with little issue. Paying a small fee I didn’t bother to keep the guys in line. Walking out into the streets the town appeared like any other.

 Most of the time in One Piece I expected toe to some advanced civilization for some reason. But this appeared to be like a romanticized version of Mexico in my eyes. Homes were brick or some kind of stone, women danced in the street. Peopleughed and others fought. The road we followed was paved with stones. People or animals pulled carts along it.

 But it was easy to see that the ce was busier than normal. Dozens of ships anchored off the ind there appeared to be people from all over.

 “Excuse me,” Trafalgar asked a passerby while wearing Nighteye’s face. “What’s going on today? Is there a festival?”

 “You didn’t hear? There’s a tournament going on. Donquixote pirates are putting up a Devil fruit as the prize.”

 “Which?” Robin asked.

 “The very one Whitebeard used to have. The Tremor Devil Fruit. People are going crazy over it,” the man said and was soon off.

 “What the hell?” Luffy asked, but Robin and I locked eyes. “Ash’s old man’s fruit? She would want that back.”

 “You should uh, go try to win it,” I said. Worried, but didn’t see why canon couldn’t stick.

 “We have things to do,” Trafalgar interrupted.

 “We can handle it. Like you said. Could be days to find the factory. And better than some other idiot having it,” I said.

 “Yosh, I’m gonna check it out at least,” Luffy said. Franky ran off with him.

 “Wear a costume just in case you get hit,” I warned again. I’d told them the jutsus wouldn’tst long if they were damaged, but I doubted he listened.

 “We are already straying from the n,” Trafalgar said, annoyed.

 “It’ll work out,” I assured. “Granted it’s probably a trap but oh well.”

 “What?!” Trafalgar asked loudly but I started walking again.

 “What’s going on, I thought you ate the Tremor Devil Fruit,” Robin whispered.

 “I did,” I said. “Theirs might be a fake…or might not. I have no idea.”

 “There is only 1 of a Devil fruit at any given time,” she whispered. I left it. I had bought the Devil fruit from my store. I knew that it only sold avable fruits. But I wondered what would happen if the fruit formed in the world before I bought it. There really could be 2 people with the Tremor power. I hoped canon happened and Sabo got it.

 I turned us into an alley and said, “I’m gonna go look for the factory. Ask around for info. I’ll meet up with you guyster. I’ll try to be back to help with the exchange by Green Bit.”

 The others nodded. I made 3 shadow clones and we split up in different directions. When I was leaving the alley I slowed down to a walk. I wasn’t too worried about finding the factory. I was more interested in the ind inhabitants for now.

 I noticed my first toy as I walked. It was a 3 foot tall man in what looked like a nutcracker outfit. “It’s me. It’s me. How do you not recognize me?!” The toy yelled at a small boy.

 “Another toy with the sickness,” someonemented.

 “Why do so many toys think they’re humans?” Another asked.

 I couldn’t help but feel for the toy man as a guard grabbed him and dragged him away. Probably to be brainwashed to follow Sugar or made to disappear. I needed to save them all.

 Heading back down the street I thought on where to start when I noticed a dog chewing at a screaming stuffed teddy bear. The dog shook his head back and forth treating the doll like his worst enemy.

 I ran over yelling, “hey!” I instinctively tried to bring out some Conqueror’s Haki to scare it away. But it didn’t work. Annoyed I settled on kicking it. The dog released the bear and yelped while running down the alley.

 “Are you alright?” I asked the doll. It was orange with a red patch sewed into its cheek. Buttons for eyes the 2 foot tall toy stared up at me for a moment.

 “I uh know you were a human once,” I said. “You’re not…part of my crew are you?” I asked. I was about to check my paper, worried that someone was already changed but she stopped me.

 “I don’t know you,” the doll said in a woman’s voice. “But thank you. I um seem to need help if you’d be willing.”

 “What kind of help?” I asked.

 The doll let out a sigh. Shrugging her shoulders she said, “to kill Domingo.”

 “That’s a pretty tall order,” I said. Thinking, I didn’t remember the Straw Hats working with a teddy bear.

 “I got it,” I said. Pulling out my Chikyugi Ne the doll looked into it and we were both in the Makuramoto.

 The person who appeared in front of me was a tall woman with pink hair. A more than pretty face, a nice bust, wearing a dress. She was quite the looker. I was pretty sure I’d seen her before.

 “Weston?” She asked in disbelief.

 “Uh yeah, Weston Watanabe. I guess you know me from my bounty?” I asked, a wide smile on my lips as I studied her.

 “No, you wouldn’t remember me,” she said disappointed. “We met years ago.”

 “We did?”

 “Yes, but anyone turned into a toy is forgotten.”

 “Oh no. I lost my memories a while ago. I don’t remember anything before 2 years ago or so,”

 I admitted. “I’m sorry, who are you?”

 “I’m Reba,” she said, some hope in her voice. “Your dad and my dad were friends. You were here for a while about 12 years ago.”

 “So I was 8?”

 “And I was 4,” she said giggling. “I couldn’t believe it when I saw your bounty. But it’s really you.”

 “What can I say? I doubt I’ve changed much.”

 “Oh you definitely have,” she blushed, studying me. I was surprised by the reaction. Studying her I was starting to feel like I did know her.

 “Wait, Reba?” I asked. Kind of seeing it as I focused on the cleavage. “Aren’t you like the princess of Dressrosa?”

 “No,” she said, her good mood leaving. “Not anymore.”

 “Sit, tell me about it,” I said pointing to the sofa pit next to us. She got in awkwardly but collected herself.

 “10 years ago, Domingo came here. He threatened my grandfather. Forcing him to collect money. Setting the ind as ransom. My grandfather went around collecting money. But it was all a ploy. Domingo controlled the guards or something and made them attack the people. Then Domingo swooped in and stopped the guards and usurped power from my grandfather.”

 That sounded like a way easier n than Crocodiles. I guessed when you were strong enough you didn’t have to n for years to take a ce over.

 “My um father confronted him. God, I didn’t learn this until I turned into a toy. But my father was turned into a toy. When that happened 10 years ago, I lost all memory of him. He raised me for years as a toy. Me never knowing who he was. I called him the Thunder Soldier all my life.” She had a few tears in her eyes as she exined. I felt her pain from her Haki. A darkness moving over her.

 “The people med me for what my grandfather was framed for doing. So the Thunder Soldier saved, protected, and trained me. But a few days ago he went missing when Domingo gave up his Shichibukai seat. I hadn’t heard from him. I went looking for him. But someone grabbed me and I was turned into a toy.”

 “I-I need help,” she said, her eyes bing firm as she stared up at me. “Weston, I know you’re strong. You have a high bounty. Please, help me. Get my father back. And turn us into humans again.”

 “You’re in luck,” I said. “I was nning on doing that anyway.”

 “Really?” She asked, her eyes filling with tears again. Her Spiritual Energy emitting hope. I couldn’t help but feel some hope as well.

 “Of course. I mean, I can’t say no to a beautiful woman in need.” She blushed. A smile still on her face. “Problem is I’ll probably forget you as soon as we are out of here. I’ll have toe up with something…”

 “Where are we anyway?” She asked, looking around for the first time. I gave her the short exnation as I worked out how to not lose my memory of talking to her.
