It was a bright and sunny day as Luffy and the rest of the Straw Hats were hanging around and chilling...

"Ta da! Here you go Darling." Rarity exclaimed as she levitate Luffy's fixed straw hat to the excited rubber kid. "Its fixed!" Luffy said as he starts poking the top of his straw hat. "You did a great work Rarity! Thanks!"

"Please be careful Luffy. You could poke a hole on that thing." Nami warned as she sat down on the boat that she stolen from the Buggy Pirates. Luffy however didn't listen to her and ends up poking a hole on his straw hat. "Uh Oh!! What happened?!" Luffy freaks out as the boy's eyes bulged out from his sockets.

Nami instantly takes the needle that was floating around in Rarity's light blue aura and pricks Luffy on the forehead with said sharp object. "Didn't you just listen to what I said?!" Nami angrily said as Luffy screamed in pain. "AHHH!! STOP POKING ME WITH THAT NEEDLE!! IT HURTS!!"

"Its useless if I just try to hit you so I have to use this needle! Your so stubborn!" Nami said with a huff.

"Hey can you guys and gals keep it quiet?!" An annoyed Rainbow Dash called out from a moving cloud that she made her own from up above. "Yeah. Try listening to Rainbow for once. I can't sleep with all of your noise." Zoro replied as he rests on his hand with a half lidded stare.

"Wow! You two are so alike! Your both super loyal, super boastful and super sleepy! Maybe you two are long lost brothers and sisters! Oh maybe I could set up a party for this eventful reunion!" Pinkie excitedly answered with the pink party mare being hyperactive as ever.

"Come on Pinkie. For starters they are not even the same species, Secondly they don't even look the same bit alike and third, I don't think anypony else besides us have been on this world until just recently.

"Nah. They're pretty much the same Applejack. Potato PO TA TO, Tomato TO MA TO. Same thing." Pinkie exclaimed with a shrug as she pulls out a vanilla cupcake with rainbow sprinkles from her mane.

"Anyways I'm getting hungry. Why don't you share us some food?" Zoro said to Nami.

"Oh please, you guys need to be prepared! You all didn't bring any kind of food or water and dare to go into the unknown. Your all underestimating the sea!" Nami said back.

"Well she does have a point. Its kind of lucky that you two have survived until now you know." Spike said as he sat down beside Nami on the stolen Buggy Pirates boat.

"There's always a way." Zoro grinned as he chomps down on a piece of bread.

Twilight Sparkle came out of the Buggy Pirates stolen boat and gaining the attention of Rainbow Dash. "Hey Twi! How's Flutters doing?"

"She is in a stable condition and still recovering but she's just fine Rainbow. Nothing to worry about." The purple alicorn reassured her friend. "Still its concerning that we have faced many greater dangers before yet just at the very start of this journey, Fluttershy's injuries dwarfs everything that we've suffered on our previous adventures." Twilight exclaimed.

"Hehe well you don't have to worry anymore Twilight. If anyone dares to harm you girls again, I'll beat them up!" Luffy confidently declared as he cracked his knuckles.

"Count me in Captain!" Rainbow exclaimed as he joined the rubber kid with a triumphant pose.

"Thanks so much Luffy." Twilight grinned. "Are there any sightings of the next island though?" The purple alicorn asked.

Nami pulls out her pair of binoculars out of interest and looked to where Luffy is pointing then scoffed. "That island is no good. Its unpopulated and totally useless. Let's just keep going." Nami said with a dismissive look as she puts down her binoculars but however for some absurd reason Luffy was already moving the boat towards the said island. "HEY!!" Nami yelled out with an angered look.

"Let's see if we can find anyone who can join us here." Luffy exclaimed excitedly.

"Yeah. Let's look for some food too. You know Nami and Spike were right. We don't seem to have plans no matter where we go and just about anything that we do." Zoro replied.

"On the bright side, That makes everything a surprise! And a surprise makes everything more fun!" Pinkie said as she, Zoro and Luffy approached the Island while Nami was forced to follow behind with everyone else as the crew stepped on the island looking around to explore.

"See? There's nothing but trees!" Nami said. "Like I said, This is an unpopulated island. It would be weird if you found someone for the crew here."

"Well in that case, We'll just have to follow Luffy around until he is satisfied then we can go." Spike said as he flies around to see if he can find find something interesting.

"Hey Zoro come over here!" Luffy called for his friend but the swordsman was sleeping deeply.

"Hey you are sleeping!" Luffy exclaimed as he approached the boat but Nami grabbed him by his shirt. "Let him sleep. He's still injured." Nami said and Luffy understood what she meant. "Okay then... Hey Dash!" Luffy called out for the rainbow maned pegasus on top of her cloud. "You coming?"

"I'd love to dude but..." Rainbow yawned. "I'm not quite done with my nap yet so I'm sitting this one out." Rainbow said before getting more comfy on her cloud.

"Oh well fine then... Hey Flutter..." Luffy exclaimed but then Nami quickly cut him off. "Are you insane?! She's in a bad or even worse condition than Zoro! Leave her to rest!"

"Okay! Okay! Geez..." Luffy reluctantly answered. "Well then lets go!"

"Go where?" Nami asked the rubber kid with a confused look. "To the forest of course! You'll never know that there might be people here." Luffy exclaimed.

"There is no one here but poisonous snakes and wild animals!" Nami insisted but a strange creature puts her and the ponies off the edge of their hooves. From the forest a strange creature called a Cocox passed between them. Its an animal that has a mixture of a fox and a rooster. He has whiteish grey fur that is light brown around the eyes. He also has a rooster's crown and wattle as well as feathers on his backside, and red ears.

"What is... That...?" Nami questioned with a perplexed look at what she was seeing.

"Huh... What a curious fella..." Applejack said looking at the Cocox before seeing him go.

"It looks like something out of Equestria." Spike observed.

"Don't you think that would be the case?" Rarity asked the purple drake.

"Umm... No... I don't believe that being the case." Fluttershy said as everyone looked surprised to see the butter yellow pegasus stepping out of the boat and casually approaching the Cocox. "Hello there." Fluttershy greeted and the Cocox replied. "Pock! Pock!"

Twilight worried about her friend quickly rushed off to the butter yellow pegasus. "Fluttershy! Are you sure that you shouldn't be resting? Your injuries are..."

"Oh don't worry Twilight. While I'm unable to fight or fly at the moment, I can walk just fine." Fluttershy reassured Twilight that her safety was secured. "So Mister what can you say about this place?" Fluttershy question as she and the Cocox started chatting.

"Man its so cool that she can talk to animals!" Luffy exclaimed with stars in his eyes.

"So wait... You said earlier that this creature looks something out of Equestria and that you guys have animals, creatures or monsters like these back home. Does that mean Equestria has weird and freaky places like this?" Nami asked the baby dragon with a gulp.

"Yeah we have tons of them." Spike smirked. "They are even weirder than what you could ever imagine and some of them are really really dangerous." Spike replied with an evil grin that scared Nami who started sweating like crazy.

"H.. How exactly dangerous are they?" Nami tried to brave herself in asking further down the rabbit hole as the girl starting shaking in a comedic manner.

"You wanna know what's an Ursa Major?" Spike asked with a mischievous grin on his face.

"That's enough Spike! Your scaring her!" Twilight scolded Spike as she gently pushed him aside. "Besides its not like all of Equestria is like that. Most of the dangerous creatures rarely leaves the Everfree Forest." Twilight explained.

"Rarely doesn't mean never and for your information, The Everfree Forest is just the most dangerous, not the only dangerous place in Equestria." Spike countered back at his surrogate sister as images of terrifying monsters began to cloud the Cat Burglar and at that point, Nami was just mortified.

"Ugh... No offense but I'm not sure if I want to be there." Nami said and Luffy chipped in from the side. "That's so cool! I totally want to visit your world! Especially that Everfree Forest!" The rubber kid said excitedly while Nami almost fainted thinking what could come out from his enthusiasm. "Its a good thing that I'm not really part of his crew. I pity anyone actually crazy enough to actually join him." Nami thought.

While the Straw Hat crew talked about the wonderful land of Equestria which got Luffy hyped up, Fluttershy had just finished talking with the Cocox. "Thank you very much for this information Mister. We're very grateful for your help." Fluttershy politely said before receiving a "Pock!" in response before the Cocox wandered elsewhere.

"Umm excuse me everyone." Fluttershy said, drawing the attention of everyone else on the shy and meek pegasus. Something difficult came to her in the past but she has learned to overcome in terms of communication. "I've learned a couple of things about this island. It looks like there is indeed someone living here and he's called Gaimon. He.. Umm... Mister Cocox said that he has a body of a chest." Fluttershy explain confusing everyone in the process.

"What? The body of a chest?" Nami asked, trying to picture what the guy looked like.

"W... Well that's what he said. Anyways he seems to be the caretaker of him and the rest of the animals on this island." Fluttershy explained.

"Really now? He sounds like a great guy! Im gonna go see if I can make him our Nakama!" Luffy said as he proceeds to go deeper into the forest.

"Wait Luffy! Don't just run off!" Nami called out with an exasperated look as she tries to follow Luffy.

"Well we better follow them ya'll." Applejack exclaimed and the rest of them followed her like a scout leader.

While the rest of the Straw Hats are on their way to exploring more of the island forest, They encountered another creature which is a Usagihebi. This one looks like a mixture of a snake and a rabbit, with a white and pink snake body and rabbit ears. Luffy then picks up the Usagihebi with curiosity. "Wow. What a weird rabbit!"

"Its weird alright but I think that's a mutant snake." Nami said as she looks at the weird slithering creature.

Luffy lets the Usagihebi go before focusing yet on another weird animal. This one is called a Lionbuta. It looks like a mixture of a lion and a pig, with a pink pig body and brown lion mane. "Is this a pig?" Luffy asks as he picks up the Lionbuta to examine it.

"It could be a lion." Nami said as Luffy and the strange creature had an impromptu staring contest and the Lionbuta ends up wanting to bite Luffy's face off until Fluttershy had to interfere and pry it off him.

Twilight stopped for a moment to think about the condition of the island. "I wonder what could have possibly caused these mutations on creatures that aren't common as well as the fact that more of these biological systems are structured in a way that these animals have been fused with one another.

"Maybe some kind of mad scientist did this and left them on the island." Spike answered.

"Come on Spike, This isn't one of your Power Ponies Comic Fan Theory again from that convention." Applejack exclaimed with air quotes at Spike's explanation.

"Hey you'll never know Applejack. We are in a different world after all." The baby dragon replied.

"Well whatever the case might be, I'm still curios because it seems that this world is not that different from Equestria minus the apparent lack of general magic." Twilight observed her surroundings. "And yet we haven't seen the majority of this world yet..."

"Ooh I really really can't wait to see it all! Do you think that there could be a place made out of candy?!" Pinkie excitedly asked.

"Pfftt... Really Pinkie? Not even Equestria is that crazy!" Applejack replied.

"Yeah right... Seriously what are the chances of that happening?" Spike added and suddenly everyone heard a loud voice that demands for them to follow his orders.

"Leave... Leave now... LEAVE!!!"

"Huh?" A confused Luffy asked.

"W.. What was that?" Fluttershy suddenly tensed in her position.

"I... I don't know..." Twilight said as she looks around her surroundings.

“Who are you?” Nami asked.

"I’m the Forest Guardian”

“The Forest Guardian?” Luffy said in a confused manner.

"That's right! If you still want to live then leave at once! Your all pirates aren't you?"

“Yes!” Luffy immediately responded.

“Why did it asked that?” Nami questioned.

"No idea but I have a feeling something fishy is going on here.." Applejack exclaimed. "Excuse me Forest Guardian or whatever but your a really powerful fellow aren't you?" Applejack asked.

"Why yes! I'm the Mighty Forest Guardian! My power is to be feared everywhere!"

"And how powerful are we exactly talking about?" Applejack continued to ask further.

"What...?! How dare you question me you mere mortal?! If I wanted to, I can make you all disappear with just a thought! Nothing is impossible for me the Forest Guardian!"

"You faker! You sound too dumb to be a god!" Nami yelled back at the fearmongering force of nature.

"Gotcha..." Applejack thought with a smirk. "Well if you really can do anything then why did you let us enter the forest in the first place? Heck you could have stopped us from stepping on this island. Why is that oh almighty one?"

"I'm still wondering what happened here... Look at all of these..." Luffy said as he takes a look at the amount of animal hybrids that surrounded them.

"They used to be pirates. They came to this island looking for treasure but all they found was my wrath!"

"You've transformed them? Then you really are a god!" Spike said as he began to kneel down and assume a praying position with two of his claws while Applejack just rolled her eyes.

"W.. What would you know?! I work in mysterious ways a... a mere mortal like you wouldn't understand! Showing so much insolence huh?! I'm gonna erase you all if you don't this instant, I swear!"

"Mhmm... Yup... Whatever you say..." Applejack said in a disinterested manner provoking more the mysterious character from the shadows. "Well fellas..." Applejack addressed her friends while the mysterious voice continued rambling in the background. "If the fact that we're not all erased out of existence yet is anything to go by..." Applejack explained, using air quotes. "This Forest Guardian is a scammer."

"Wow Applejack, You've noticed his scheme pretty quick." Nami said praising the apple farmer. "Its a pity though that I'm not gonna be able to have her form a debt for me." Nami thought to herself.

"Thanks Sugarcube. Its all thanks to a certain duo of ponies that I've had a pleasure to meet way back..." Applejack sighs.

"If your not leaving then prepare to face the Forest's Judgement!" Gaimon yelled as everyone began to scatter at the fact that wooden spikes start to fly around everywhere as large rocks even dropped on top of Luffy. "Hahahaha! Your really pushing your luck here god!" Luffy taunted Gaimon with a smirk.

"How are you not dead?!!" Gaimon exclaimed in shock as he pulls out a flintlock and shoots Luffy in the back but instead of piercing him, the bullet stretched his flesh forward then bounced off him harmlessly. "Ugghhh!!!"

"Hey Island God!! Even mortals now bullets can't hurt a rubber man!!" Nami taunted him more.

"Maybe so but I still hate them!!" Luffy exclaimed.

"Haha!!" Spike laughed with sarcasm while protecting Fluttershy behind him. "If he would have shot you, You'd be dead right now or if he shot any of them. The only reason your alive right now is because he shot Luffy." Spike narrowed his eyes as he scolded Nami and the rest of Twilight's friends nodded in understanding. "And he could still have other bullets, You'll never know."

"What kind of thing are you?" Gaimon asked with disbelief.

“The Bullet was fired from there! And there’s also a pistol!” Nami said as she points to a where a gun was located and what also appeared to be a bush inside a chest laid as the group curiously approached the mysterious being.

“What’s this thing anyway?” Luffy asked.

“It looks like a bush.” Applejack replied.

“But somehow it grew inside a chest” Twilight added.

“It doesn't look normal!” Nami concluded but everyone got caught off guard when Gaimon suddenly start to run away from them in order to escape only to trip on his own feet.

“Wow! It’s a man!" A surprised Nami said.

“What a interesting cauliflower head! Cauliflower Man!” Luffy exclaimed.

“I still think it’s more like a bush” Applejack added.

“Lift me up!” Gaimon yelled again.

“Why are you so angry? You tripped yourself…” Nami said with a drop of a sweat

“Wait… Uh... Mister? Are you Gaimon by any chance?” Fluttershy asked

“Huh? How do you know my name?” Gaimon asked as he was completely taken off guard.

“Gomu Gomu Fruit.... It's a Devil Fruit right? I have heard of that before… But it’s the first time I had meet someone who actually ate that kind of fruit. It’s also the first time I ever heard of talking ponies but I know little outside the East Blue so I wouldn’t rule it out as impossible."

“It’s the first time I meet someone who is stuck in a Chest too! You’re like a son in a box” Luffy exclaimed.

“Oh yeah…my parents took care of me when I was still small… Are you a Idiot?!?" Gaimon suddenly screamed and everyone chuckled at his mannerisms.

"I got stuck in here and I can't get out! I lived on this island like this for 20 years already! Can't you understand what I've been going through?!"

“What? Lived on this island by yourself?” Nami asked, the cat burglar was intrigued.

"Yes... 20 years..."

“And stuck like that?” Twilight asked with a worried look.

“That’s really stupid…!” Luffy stated bluntly.

“What did you say!? I’m gonna kill you!” Gaimon yelled back at Luffy.

“Twenty years… What a long time! My hair and mustache have already grown this long, and even my eyebrows are connected..."

“Oh you poor thing.. I can’t even imagine what that was like…” Rarity said with a sympathetic look.

“Yeah... I haven’t talk to anyone in twenty years…” Gaimon sulks when Luffy suddenly grabs his head with both hands and started to pull him out of the chest.

“It hurts! It hurts! What the hell are you doing?!” Gaimon yelled as the man writhes in pain.

“Why can’t I pull you out?!” Luffy said with frustration as he continues to pull him out.

“Stop! Stop! My neck it’s gonna break!” Gaimon yelled at Luffy one more time making the rubber kid finally stop as he turns around shouting angrily at Luffy. ”Fool! I haven’t moved in years! My body and this chest have already become one! If you are going to forcefully pull me out then my body will be done for!”

"Man that’s rough.” Spike exclaimed.

“Tell me about it...” Gaimon said.

“But… How did you got to this Island?” Nami asked Gaimon curiously.

"You mentioned earlier that you were pirates right?"

"Yes. There are ten of us." Luffy said.

"I was also once a pirate! Its nice being a pirate, venturing for treasures. Its even okay if I risk my life..."

“It do sound like you really enjoyed it.” Applejack said.

“Yeah.. I really did.. Say do you have any maps?”

“We have a navigational map for the Grandline!” Luffy said as he pull out said map and then proudly states...

Luffy nods and approaches Gaimon to show him the map. "So which is the Grandline?" Gaimon asked.

"I don't know Mr. Scrub Brush. I thought you could tell me."

"Sorry. I don't really know how to read a sea chart. Hahahaha! HAHAHAHA!" Gaimon laughs with Luffy joining in.

“Ignorance is bliss huh...? Is this really how pirates talk?” Nami asked as she puts her hands on her hips.

“Meh... They did laugh a lot in my old fairytale books.” Spike said.

“I don’t think fairytales should normally be an accurate representation of pirates.” Twilight exclaimed.

“That’s fascinating! A world’s ocean that is separated by a single Ring like mass of earth? Amazing!” Twilight marveled at the geographical structure shown by the map and Nami seemed to appreciate that someone was appreciating her knowledge of the world.

"In history only the Pirate King Gold Roger has conquered this route! Also it is the most dangerous route!" Nami explained.

"One Piece is surely in that place!" Luffy said having been convinced by Nami's knowledge. "That means we need to sail around the world!"

“The most dangerous route you say? That sounds like quite the adventure.” Spike said with a smile.

“Ha! They’re going to need more that just the most dangerous route to scare me off!” Rainbow Dash with determination, swooping around the skies and landing down like a n angel descending from the heavens much to the shock of Twilight and her friends of how Rainbow was able to find them and the fact that she was just napping earlier on a cloud far from them.

"Its already more than 20 years since the beginning of the Great Pirate Era... That treasure might be nothing more than legend. Can you see now? One Piece is only a dream inside a dream." Gaimon explained.

"Is that so? I think that there's a better ending right?" Luffy exclaimed.

"If a person really found such treasure, He wouldn't tell anybody! That's what a smart person would do!" Nami added.

“I will surely find the treasure because I’m always lucky!”

"I just can't understand where you get such confidence..?" Nami exclaimed. "Even if we do make it to the Grand Line, I say the best thing to do is to grab as much treasure as we can and then escape."

"Nerves of steel I guess." Spike answered with a smile.

"You go ahead and do that. I'm gonna find the One Piece." Luffy grinned.

"Whatever you say Luffy..." Nami sighs.

"Oh my... I'm no longer so sure that this is all a good idea..." A worried Fluttershy said. "And what if it really doesn't exist...? I wouldn't want anyone else getting hurt like me all for nothing..."

"Well I'm still down for it! So what if some pirates in the past didn't make it? Doesn't mean that we can't!" Rainbow Dash answered as she puts an arm over Fluttershy to encourage her..

"It certainly sounds like a real challenge though..." Applejack replied to her rainbow maned friend.

"HEY LISTEN UP!!" Luffy suddenly called out stopping everyone's line of thought at the moment. "I know that it sounds dangerous and that I just started my journey but..." Luffy exclaimed with a serious look before he continued. "I swear to everyone that I'm going to protect all your lives on this adventure as we set sail to that place where we may or may not found One Piece! Because I'm finally laying my foot down once more to say that I Monkey D. Luffy will be THE KING OF THE PIRATES!!" Luffy loudly declared the last part with an incredible force of will accompanied by a gust of wind that left everyone lost for words.

That was a bold claim alright but there was something that they did understand is that Luffy wholeheartedly meant every single word as if it was an absolute fact.

"That was incredible... Such a strong spirit..." Gaimon exclaimed praising Luffy." If the One Piece exists, If someone were to get it, It would totally be someone like you!"

"No joke, After that I totally feel like I can take on the whole world!" Spike said jumping up and down, having brief flashbacks to when Spike won the Sibling Supreme Game back then at Canterlot organized by the Princesses. And also the fact that before Twilight became Princess, He's already been trained for this kind of situation.

"OH!!!! YEAH!!!" Rainbow yelled into the air as she starts flying higher and higher into the sky and even doing multiple tricks and stunts up above everyone else. "That's what I'm talking about!! Let's do this!!"

"Well we already did face our fair share of danger and epic adventures already so what's a little more?" Rarity said joining in.

"Mhmmm... Oh what the hay! Sure lets go for it!" Applejack agreed with her fashionista friend.

"Its going to be so much fun!" Pinkie Pie cheered.

"W... Well if everyone else agrees then I suppose its fine by me." Fluttershy added with a smile.

And lastly, Twilight approached Luffy and raised a front leg extending her right hoof to him. "It will be an honor as Princess of Equestria to help you on your journey future Pirate King."

Luffy chuckled as the rubber kid gives Twilight a fist bump to her right hoof with a grin. "Sure thing! Thanks!"

All the while Gaimon takes a look at the crew with a gentle smile. "What a great crew... It reminds me so much of the good old days..." Gaimon thought as his expression suddenly turned around and proclaimed to everyone his reasons.

"So no one came to this island in the past 20 years?" Luffy asked.

"Yes! People came... There were many times... They were all pirates looking for the treasure but I used the 'Forest Judgement' to scare them all away!" Gaimon exclaimed as sweat began to drop from his forehead and tightens the grip on his pistol.

"And what about your crew? None of them ever came back for you?" Twilight asked with a worried look.

Gaimon then shakes his head sadly. "I like to believe that they just forgot about me because its less painful to handle that.. Thinking that they might have died out there just after I ended up here... Even worse if it was because they were coming back to get me..." Gaimon finished as everyone went silent for a moment. "Well anyway..."

"Hey why don't we help you get that treasure?" Pinkie offered.

"That's right Darling! It wouldn't be a trouble at all!" Rarity agreed.

"Okay! Gaimon San!! We'll help you get those treasures!" Nami finished.

"What? Is that true? That's very nice! I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"

"You did think that we weren't good people and tried to scare us away though.." Applejack thought as she rolled her eyes with a smile.

"Aren't you a professional thief that steals treasure from pirates?" Luffy asked Nami making Rainbow looked at her with suspicion and Applejack to raised an eyebrow at the woman as Nami quickly put her hands on her hips. "Don't speak nonsense! I have principles too!" Nami angrily said, clearly offended by their words.

"Anyways we better get to it already. Lead the way Gaimon." Twilight said as everyone followed the island resident to an isolated rock to where the said treasures are located on top. "This is it... Its been a long time... Since the last time I came here." Gaimon said, admiring the place he so fiercely protected.

"Its a big rock alright. There's no way you could reach the top as you are alone." Applejack exclaimed.

"Heh that's it? I can reach that in a single flap!" Rainbow boasted.

"Say why didn't you ask anyone to help you before?" Luffy asked and Gaimon replied. "Because I don't trust anybody! And anyone who sees me like this wouldn't believe me anyway."

Gaimon then returned his gaze to the top of the rock. "Damn! Damn! The treasure is just up there but I... I've awaited this moment for so long, today is the happiest day of my life!"

"Okay... Go for it!" Nami said resting a hand on Luffy's shoulder.

"You want me to go up there?" He asked Nami.

"Of course! Do you think I can climb that?!" Nami answered back.

"Don't worry, I got you!" Rainbow said as she crouches down and true to her word jumped while flapping her wings once and the force of wind elevating her to the top of the rock.

"Good job Rainbow! My turn!" Luffy said.

"I'm counting on you Straw Hat Kid!" Gaimon said cheering him on.

"Okay..." Luffy said as he stretches his arms until he grips unto the top of the rock before he retracts his arms while maintaining his grip in order to propel himself to the top.

A moment passed until Luffy was seen carrying a chest between his arms with Rainbow Dash beside him. "There really are some treasure chests up here! There are five of them!" Luffy called out as Gaimon's mood improved even more. "That's great!! Quick! Drop them here! But don't hit me! Wahahahaha!"

"No way!" Both Luffy and Rainbow said at the same time.

"What?" A shocked Gaimon asked.

"What?! Why Rainbow?!" Twilight asked her friend.

"What do you mean you two won't drop them?" Applejack demanded seeking an explanation.

"What the hell are you two talking about?! Stop joking and drop them down now!!" Nami said angrily. "Hurry up and drop them to me!!"

"But we don't wanna do that!" Luffy said and Rainbow just looked to the side as Nami just turned around feeling angry and betrayed. "Fine! But don't you two dare to come back down here again!"

"Forget about it! Its fine if they don't wanna drop them down here!" Gaimon suddenly said much to the shock of everyone.

"How can that be alright?! Its your treasure!" Nami exclaimed as the Cat Burglar was taken aback at what she just heard.

"Gaimon you've guarded that treasure with your heart and soul for 20 years! What gives now?!" Spike questioned his change of mood but Gaimon just ignored them and instead looked to Luffy and Rainbow as he started to cry. "Straw Hat Kid and Rainbow Pegasus... Your great guys!!"

"Wait what?! What do you mean they're great?!" Nami asked as she was completely lost for words.

"Wait... Don't tell me that...!!" Twilight exclaimed as the purple alicorn finally caught as to what was going on.

"I actually thought about it before and it might be a possibility but I always try hard not to think about it too much..."

Everything became silent as they came to the realization of what they just heard. The fact that the treasure that Gaimon had been guarding all this time were just empty chests.

"Uh huh. That’s right. They’re all empty!” Luffy said, confirming the truth to everyone. "Sorry..." Was all Rainbow Dash could say.

"Oh Darling, We're so sorry..." Rarity said.

"How can that be... The treasure that you've guarded for 20 years... Is just a bunch of empty chests!" Nami exclaimed.

Suddenly a loud laugh was heard and everyone looked up to see that it was none other than Luffy who was laughing. "Wahahahaha! Don't be so disappointed uncle! You meeting us after 20 years was a good thing too!"

Rainbow Dash however was sulking a while ago but then looked at her captain with renewed determination. "Oh I know! Because if it had been like thirty years then you might not have been alive!" Rainbow added.

"Yeah! Come with us Gaimon! Its gonna be awesome!"~Rainbow

"Ooh New Crew Member Party! Alright!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed as she starts bouncing excitedly.

"So... This is serious... All of you wanted me to come and join on your crew for the adventure of a lifetime..." Gaimon cries out, his tears dropping to the ground while everyone nods having tears in their eyes as well. "Heh... As much as I would like that, I would have to say..."

"POCK!!!!" A loud was heard that startled everyone and in an instant, the crew and Gaimon were surrounded by all the hybrid animals of the island that everyone saw all the hybrid animals that the crew met and many more with the Cocox leading them. "Huh? Guys? What are you doing here?" Gaimon asked when his expression suddenly hardened as well as the grip on his pistol when he takes it out. "Another pirate crew is approaching?"

But the Cocox shakes his head as he looks at Fluttershy and responds. "Pock!! Pock!! Pock!! Pock!! Pock!!"

"Huh? Really?" Fluttershy asks and the Cocox nods.

"What does he want Flutters?" Rainbow asks while Fluttershy sits down to have a conversation with the Cocox. "It seems that Mr. Cocox has something to say to Gaimon for all the animals in this island and he wants me to translate it for him.

"Wow amazing! You really all are a special bunch!" Gaimon exclaimed praising them.

"Heh and you haven't seen anything about us yet." Rainbow exclaimed with a smirk.

Fluttershy then nods to the Cocox to signal that she's ready and the Cocox answered back with his usual animal sounds. "Pock!! Pock!! Pock!! Pock!!" As the butter yellow pegasus began to translate for him. "I, The Cocox want to thank Gaimon for these past 20 years for everything he's ever done for us since when he manages to unite all of us the animals on this island in peace and harmony, to teach us how to defend ourselves from invaders and fighting back as if we were brothers. We will never forget it and we desire to return what he has done to us in full force. That's why on this day forward by the authority imposed into me by my fellow hybrids I..." Fluttershy paused in silent shock and looked to the Cocox who nodded in response and urged Fluttershy to continue. "I... I banish you from this island"

Those were the set of words that truly surprised everyone.

"What?! Banish him?!" Nami asked.

"But why?" Applejack added.

The Cocox continues speaking as Fluttershy continues to translate the said animal language for him. "I banish you... Until you finish your journey with the Straw Hat Boy and fulfill your great dream of finding a great treasure and learning about the exciting knowledge of the world." The Cocox finished.

Everyone was then silent after that speech until Gaimon had to respond. "You... You all truly mean all that...?" This time however it was not the Cocox but the Lionbuta who decides to speak up on the matter. "Oink!! Oink!! Oink!! Oink!! Oink!!" As Fluttershy as quick to translate. "We'll be fine! If anyone tries to harm us then I'm biting their legs off." And following that statement, the LionButa showed another set of razor sharp teeth from his mouth kind of like a shark fishman which shocked Twilight and her friends. Yup whoever gets too overconfident by his naturally passive pig looking appearance is in for a nasty surprise.

Next it was the rabbit and snake hybrid UsagiHebi that took the time to talk to Fluttershy and she helped him translate the words too. "And don't worry for any fights that may be happening in the future! We all have learned our lesson! Other hybrids and nice people friend! Bad outsiders who try to harm us food!" The snake declared looking very proud of himself.

"Oh you guys... I don't know what to say... WAHHHH!!!" Gaimon broke into tears as he ran over to his animal friends and embracing them likewise. "Awww..." Twilight exclaimed as she and her friends got into a group hug as well, Nami had a warm smile on her face while Luffy just joined them all with a big hug.

"ALRIGHT!!" Gaimon exclaimed as he holds up his bag of important supplies but mostly is his two pistols. "ALRIGHT NOW IS THE TIME THAT THE GREAT GAIMON MAKES HIS GRAND COMEBACK INTO PIRACY!! WAHAHAHAHA!!"

"Shishishishi! That's right! Welcome to the crew Gaimon!" Luffy said with a big smile on his face as Gaimon threw his bag on the bigger one of the two current boats in possession of the crew which was the stolen from the Buggy Pirates as the Cocox appears from the entrance of the forest accompanied by a Pandabat which is one of the hybrids earlier. "Squeak!! Squeak!!"

"Peebee?" Gaimon asked with a confused look as Peebee flies towards him and the Cocox approaches with Fluttershy acting as his helpful personal translator. "To gurantee your security as well as to make sure that you don't sneak back here, we decided that we will have one of us accompanying you. After debating for a bit we settled for PB to be the one to do it since she is the one who can best help you in both combat and mundane things.

"Leave it to me Coxy!! With me at this side Gaimon San will be alright!!" Peebee says as Fluttershy translates the words for her.

"Yay! Two new Nakamas in a single adventure!" Luffy shouted happily as the rubber kid jumped for joy.

PB then grabs Gaimon and throws him to the stolen Buggy Pirates Boat with Gaimon having no problem to land on his feet for quick and agile action. The Panda Bat hybrid then nests herself on top of the small cabin of said transportation with his said master as everyone else took respective positions on the two boats fully noticing Zoro that he seemed to have napped during this whole time.

"Hey he sure is a lot like you Dash." Applejack smirked to her rainbow maned friend. "Oh stuff it AJ. I don't sleep THAT MUCH... And besides the only time I take a full sleeping session is after my trainings are done for the day." Rainbow tried to defend her position while Applejack just rolled her eyes with a smile. "Sure thing Rainbow... Sure thing..."

As the crew started to leave, all the hybrid animals of the island came to the shore and said their goodbyes in a manner of different animal noises as Luffy and his friends wave back.

"Don't worry! We will come back! Leave Gaimon to us!" ~Twilight Sparkle

"Bye everyone!"~Cat Burlar Nami

"See you later guys!"~ Monkey D. Luffy

"If the legendary treasure One Piece is out there, I'm sure that you'll find it! And when you do.. BUY THE WORLD!!!"~ Gaimon

"That's right! I'll go head and do that!"~ Luffy

"YAY!!!!!"

All the ruckus seemed to wake up Zoro who grumpily answered them. "What the hell did I just told you all?! You all make so much damn noise..." As the crew only responded with hearty laughs which seemed to irritate the swordman further.

And so between the laughter and the joys, The Straw Hats left Gaimon's island with two new Nakamas, unaware of the dangers they will soon have to face.
