AN:- SORRY FOR THE LATE CHAPTER, I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO WRITE ONE. ANYWAYS, HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE CHAPTER 35.

[PREVIOUSLY ON GAMER PIECE]

"So, what's the plan?" Knowing that my friends are safe and sound is all that I need for now. now, Rai needs to tell us how to help them escape-

"....uh, I don't have one-"

...

"WHAT!-"

[1ST + 3RD POV]

"why would you not-"I sigh, explaining it would be annoying to do, since i would have to do a screaming match with Luffy.

"because i Honestly don't know where they are going. If I did, I might be able to make a plan. for all i know, they could be sent to a jail in East blue." Luffy looks horrified, and surprisingly, he doesn't immediately jump on the wagon to save everyone by finding them.

"HOW DO WE FIND THEM!" Luffy jumps on me, shaking me, extremely worried and scared about our crew-members, but thankfully, I have a plan for that.

"Well, that is what the 'Party System' is for. I can track them using it, so-" Before I could finish, Nami started whispering angrily.

"Can you do it quietly, trying to hold our expressions is a difficult job." Both me and Luffy look at the Party window, before looking at each other. Luffy climbs down from me, and I start to calmly explain what I have in plan.

"Well, the plan for now is to locate their destination. and for that....they need to be there." for a second there is no sound, before Usopp whispers, trying his hardest not to shout.

"YOU WANT US TO BE BAIT-"Luffy's eyes widened, but before he could even say anything, I came in.

"Well yeah. be useful for once and show me the way." I tried to joke, but it didn't work. everyone almost rages, but they keep silent-

except Two people.

''''YOU WANT TO WHAT!?!?"" Luffy and -this time- Merry both jump on me, causing me to lose balance and fall on the deck. What is with them jumping on me all the time?

"YOU IDIOT, HOW COULD YOU ABANDON OUR-" Merry hits me in the chest repeatedly, and somehow even though she is a spirit, I feel the impact.

"I am not, let me," it's like I am handling Kids, just why won't they listen properly?

"WE ARE GOING TO SAVE THEM-"oh for fucks sales!

"And how do you plan to do that?" Even though I am getting clobbered, I am able to raise my eyebrows at both of them. Luffy immediately answers.

"We are going to beat the shit-" he looks at me and then stops saying it. My raised eyebrows are still present. My eyebrows literally ask him about how he is going to do that, even though I don't ask that question.

" "

"Exactly. We can't do shit. We don't know where they are going to be sent. They could be sent to Impel down, and if we try to intercept that, we will die." Luffy looks determined, even though Death is a certainty, he isn't willing to abandon our friends.

"You cowardly piece of shit-" Naki whispers angrily, but fuck her too.

"Oh. Shut the fuck up women." My sexist side comes out, seriously? Who gave the women the freedom to talk whatever she likes? Does she even understand the situation or her fictional brain can't

comprehend it?

Seriously? Womens.

"Luffy, Merry and Me are our last line of defence, the only way your ass can escape is to impel down, so if we die, you guys die. I am the only one who has any kind of connection in Impel down, so if you lose me, say goodbye to your life." Everyone becomes silent.

Luffy's determined look goes away, uncertainty replacing it. He doesn't know what to do now. He understands the predicament we are currently in. If we were to be caught, then all of us will be fucked up.

"...then what should we do?" Luffy stares at me, giving me the responsibility to get us the hell out of the situation. I smile reassuringly, knowing that we WILL come out safe.

"Just wait for now. the Grand Fleet is getting in Contact with THEM, we just need time." Luffy nods, knowing what I am implying. I explained this before, even though he didn't pay attention to it, he seems to remember it though.

"...guys, wait for us, we will come get you." Luffy looks at the screen, voicing his command on what to do. For a second, no response is given, before everyone gives a collective Sigh.

"...fine." Zoro gives a collective answer, which Makes Luffy nod, accepting it. I decided to give some instructions so that they can follow them.

"Me, Luffy will take Merry to Upgrade her-"Merry's eyes widen, but her eyes (if you could call it that) shifts as she shows determination and resolution, and understands that as she is now, she won't be

useful.

To complete her dream, she needs to upgrade- to Evolve from herself. Similar to a caterpillar forming a cocoon and then shedding her skin, Merry has to go through her cocoon phase.

"- while you guys inform us about your whereabouts." Nami speaks up, agreeing for all of them, though Zoro asks a question which is laced with Worry.

"Rai, do you have my swords?" I blink, surprised by this question. I don't remember ever picking it up, so I check my inventory for good measure but-

"Uh No? I don't have it- oh come on, don't tell me Kuzan left it-"while I try not to sound whiny, Kuzan has been a bad luck for us. But thankfully, our Lookout strikes good luck on us.

"Uh, I have the swords near me, Big Bro Zoro. and Usopp's Slingshot, Big Sis Nami's Bo, Wyper's Bazooka all near the swords." You could audibly hear Zoro sighing, but that's when I get an idea. I check the Settings to see if The Party system -

Jackpot!

"All of you guys, call out inventory." Everyone is confused about what I am saying, but till now, they have figured out that I will explain my actions to them in due time, as they whisper it out, not at all shocked that another aspect of my power is revealed.

"So, this is a storage dimension, all interconnected with each other. So Aisa, if you could reach the weapons and just touch them while thinking about 'storing' the items inside the inventory." Aisa is confused, but she does what I told her.

She turns her posture and pushes her leg towards The weapons hurdled together. While she is reaching for the weapons, the others watch her as well as Kuzan and Garp. Her thumb in the leg touches the weapons, and she thinks about 'storing', as in front of everyone's eyes, all the weapons

disappear.

"You guys have access to a common storage dimension that I made. I'll add some necessities in it which can be used later." With that, I store some necessities inside of the common Inventory that the Party has, like Food, water and others.

We eventually decide to continue our journey, and thankfully, arrive on an island.

"We need provisions and some directions to Water 7 from here." I tell both of them about what we

need to do. While Merry nods, getting herself ready to speed towards the Island, Luffy stares at the

Island with a serious expression.

"Luffy?" Why the hell is he looking so seriously for?

"Don't you sense that?" He points towards the island, while I look on confusion

My plan was to use Observation Haki AFTER we arrived at-

Wait a second. Since when did Luffy start sensing? Did he already unlock Observation Haki?

I decide to ask him later, focusing on understanding what Luffy means. I activated Observation Haki, making it interact with My Map-

"What the fuck?" Why the fuck is there death premiating from the island? Like, why is there an aura

surrounding the island that feels like Death?

What kind of cursed Island are we going to-

"...fuck!" Fucking son of a bitch. This island might be Omatsuri Island, the same island where The plot

of Movie 6 Happened. I knew we were going to encounter it, so I made sure to remember HOW the

movie started, which was some kind of invitation.

But we didn't receive one.

"You know what this island is?" Luffy eyes me while still looking at the island. I nod, deciding to give

him a warning.

"The Island is a trap where Pirates are brought and killed for some kind of Weird plant." Luffy

continues looking at the island as we near it, while I continue.

"We should-"

"We are going." I...sigh, already expecting Luffy to want to go to the island. While normally he might want to go to the island to explore, now is not the time, and he knows that, so why- "We need supplies, and we will beat the people of that island if we have to, so that we can get it." ....that's smart. Finally, Luffy is doing something Pirate-ty. Raiding Islands and villages to get supplies. "Oh, okay then." I shrug, knowing that there is no point in making excuses. I started thinking about how we could deal with the plant. I DO NOT Want Luffy to experience what he did in that Movie, and I AM going to come up with a countermeasure against that monstrosity.

We reach the Island, and using Observation Haki, i Sense the strongest and the darkest creature in this island. Luffy decides to head there, wanting to beat up whatever this 'thing' is.

I have created a counter-measure, but I don't know how it would work, as I would basically need to absorb its Life force with Life Drain skill.

Luffy rushes towards the area I pointed at, somehow sensing the evil entity himself and closing the

distance between them. I chase after Luffy, sensing many energies that feel a combination of the essence of the 'entity' and something else.

These energies all move towards the place where the most evil entity is. I Imbue myself with Mana, enhancing my Physicals using <MARTIAL REINFORCEMENT> Skill. The moment we reach- "WHO ARE YOU-" a tall, lean man with broad shoulders, long limbs, and a thin waist. He has a triangle shaped head, long eyebrows, and a pointed nose. He sports a pointy black goa- "Get out of the way!" Luffy compresses his arms, shooting it out towards Baron Omatsuri, hitting him

in the face with a super-sonic punch, sending him flying. "BARON-PU-" a short, shaggy green haired child with a turtle shell in his back, a turtle-like face, and webbed hands. He wore a chain necklace with a grey sku-

"Fuck you too!" I shove a Chidori right at the kid, not caring if he is a kid. The kid gets electrocuted as

he has a hole in his chest.

"DJ-" a small, old woman with pale skin, pink lipstick, and wrinkles on her forehead and under her

eye-

"""'WOMP WOMP!" both Luffy and Me punch The absolute living shit out of the old Women, sending her flying into a grandpa around the same age. We hear multiple bone cracking, but we don't care.

That's when I sense an incoming attack, and with Me, Luffy dodges multiple arrows coming towards us. We look up-

To see a Huge Stem..... That is extremely Creepy. Me and Luffy dodge once again as More Arrows comes

from.... The Stem?

I use Observe-

Lily Carnation

Durability - 100,000

HP-100,000

Lily Carnation is a monstrous plant and has the ability to control life itself by absorbing the Life-Force

of its Victims. It has partnered with Baron Omatsuri with the condition of it getting fed Life while It

keeps Baron's dead crew 'alive'.

'knew it!' as I thought, this plant somehow manipulates Life. The Stem starts wiggling, and from the base, it splits itself, turning into hundreds of thousands Of Arrows-

"Shit-"I come in front of Luffy, Immediately Erecting a Mana Barrier to protect us from the onslaught. The Arrow continue hitting the barrier, while i reinforce it-

Luffy Grabs two of the Arrows in each hand, Before spinning around and throwing it back with

Extreme Force. Though this doesn't accomplish anything as it collides with many of the Arrows, destroying it, leaving even more Arrows to rain down.

"Luffy-"I want him to use Gear 3-2 so that he could crush this big Stem, but Luffy has some other idea. he starts digging in the ground with his hands, using his rubbery body to increase the-

Is that Steam?

"3RD GEAR-"Luffy screams, before disappearing as he went underground.Luffy appears right below the Stem, coming out of the hole he made, before enlarging his fists with breathing air in it- "ARGHHH!!!" and Punching the goddamn Stem with a giant fist, hardened with Tekkai. The Stem snaps, ripped out of the ground due to the force behind Luffy's Punch.

The Stem suddenly splits into two, and from the split parts, arrows start coming out. The entire Stem

turns into a barrage of Arrows which rain down On Luffy.

Millions of Arrows rain down on Luffy, who spreads the air from his Arms to his chest, breathing out

the contained sir at the arrows, blasting it away. Though, there are two Much arrows, so Luffy compresses his legs and shoots off in the air, making the Arrows change trajectory.

Luffy ums his blood once again, going Gear 2-3, and compresses his arms, before shooting it towards

the incoming Arrows. Luffy's fists destroy the arrows, but his fists suddenly Ricochet out of the air, hitting the other arrows using Python.

Luffy uses his stretchy body to the limit, trying to destroy all the millions of Arrows, while I try to

think-

I reach near my head, grabbing an incoming arrow. I turn to look at Baron Omatsuri, who is bleeding

from his face. He raises his hand, an arrowing forming on it as he stretches his bow and-

*Zzzz*

Gets stabbed by My Chidori. I notice the Flower that is connected to Baron, and immediately realise

what it is.

I grab the little fucker, immediately using Life Drain, trying to-

The little fucker immediately figures out what I am doing, and it reverses the ability, draining my HP-

-500 HP

-500 HP

Baron takes this opportunity to grab my hand which is still stabbed in him, grinning with blood leaking From his mouth, him still holding onto his life even though I pierced his chest.

"Li-ly is going-"

*SLASH*

i immediately Summon the Seven-Star Sword inside of Baron's chest, making the Sword appear as it

cuts Baron's spine. I push the sword Up, Splitting his head into two-

Before thrusting the sword right at the Flower's face while I was still holding it. The flower gets

stabbed, and i immediately use Mana on it, making Flame come out from the sword and surround me and the dead body of Baron which connects the Flower.

The sword starts pulling on my Life-Force, but also The Flowers simultaneously. Lily reciprocates the ability, absorbing the gathered Life-Force From the sword AND Me-

-500 HP

I Use <LIFE DRAIN> On both the sword and The Flower, using <PARALLEL BRAIN> To absorb both

the Sword and The Flower together.

Due to both the Sword and The Flower using only half of their power, I am able to absorb some of

their Life-Force-

+50 HP

I somehow made a situation where The sword absorbs life force from me AND Lily, while Lily absorbs

my Life-Force and The Sword's Mana, while I absorb the Mana of the sword and The gathered Life- Force that Lily has within it. (AN:- JUST THINK OF IT AS THE THREE SPIDERMAN POINTING AT EACH OTHER, WITH THEIR HAND ABSORBING THE LIFE ENERGIES OF THE PERSON THEY ARE

POINTING AT) A triangle of Life-Force is exchanged at insane speeds. My HP regen and self-regeneration kicks in, somehow healing my Life-Force. This triangle makes my Skill Go crazy-

SKILL <LIFE DRAIN> HAS LEVELED UP

SKILL <LIFE DRAIN> HAS LEVELED UP

SKILL <LIFE DRAIN> HAS LEVELED UP

SKILL <LIFE DRAIN> HAS LEVEL-

Images start appearing in my mind, images of killing, devouring, stabbing, biting and all of the sort.

Due to my Gamer's Mind, I am able to understand all of these images and realise that these are the

memories or essences of the Life-Force I am absorbing.

But due to me having Gamer's Mind, my Essence isn't shown to the plant and the sword, or at least

that's what I think.

I decide to ramp up the pressure, sending Mana through the sword from my Left hand and to the Lily

Carnation from my Right hand. This disrupts both of their absorption of my Life-Force, since My Mana changes into Life-Force when absorbed by the Sword-

AND Lily, or at least that's what I have figured out. With them focusing on Absorbing my Mana, I double my efforts of draining the Life-Force. More Memories flow into me, Memories of Lily meeting Baron for the First time, after Baron had landed on this island from losing his crewmates.

The memories of it being born with a Consciousness due to Processing The Potential of Haki. The Will gave it consciousness, accidently making it eat the nearby plants. Lily liked the taste of these plants, so it ate more and more, eventually even eating a tree, which contained a devil Fruit named Jinsei – Jinsei No Mi, Or the Life Life fruit, a paramecia Fruit that allows

a user to interact with, and Manipulate Life. This is similar to Big Mom's devil fruit, where she manipulates Souls.

Now, how do I know the devil fruit name? I just came up with it, nice right?

I also see the memories of the Seven-Star Sword, seeing the person who created it. That's when I realized something interesting. The Sword Was Created and Imbued with Magic, especially Enchantment. The person who created the Sword transferred all the Mana within Him, including his Life-Force into the Sword, letting the sword become the Second 'Him'.

The King of Asuka at that Time found the Sword by accident, and made up a story about 'GOD' giving

the sword and the Orbs to the kingdom. The orbs are artifacts that have the residual Mana which was leaking out of the Sword.

But, when the Princes used the Sword for war, the Essence was Corrupted by the bloodshed, becoming

a Cursed Sword.

I get an Idea, deciding to do something wild.

TO USE ITEM DISMANTLE, YOU NEED 100,000 MP, YOU HAVE INEFFICIENT M-

*puru puru puru-CLAK-*

"...." The person from the other side waits for me to talk, but I don't. The snail sighs, mimicking the

person that called me. "..hello-"I grin at Luffy who is lying beside me, and all the energy he lost comes back to him as he

recognises the voice and realises who it is.

"SABO-"

THE END

AN:- WELL, I NEED YOU GUY'S HELP TO DECIDE ON THE NAME FOR THE NEW UPGRADED SKILL. I

HAVE ONE IN MIND BUT I THINK THAT IT IS A LITTLE LAME, SO PLEASE DO COMMENT ON THE BEST NAME POSSIBLE.
