"Don't you dare underestimate me!! I will cut you down here and now!!" Zoro screamed as he charges towards Mihawk with as much force as he could muster to make him at least bleed. "ZORO!!! NOOO!!! DON'T!!!!" Twilight and her friends yelled out to him overwhelmed with worry and concern. Zoro charges in but Mihawk didn't even seem to care to what he thinks is an inferior technique from this low level swordsman.

"Brother's Onigiri was stopped!!" Johnny yelled out. "His signature attack that sends his opponents flying was 100% stopped?!!" Yosaku screamed as their jaws dropped down to the ground in utter disbelief. To Twilight, Spike and all of their friends who had seen the power of Zoro with their own eyes were beyond shocked by what they were seeing was an understatement.

"Darn!! I was right!!" Twilight thought to herself as she feared for her friend. "Yeah.. I've travelled with Bird Eyes for a while now. Your little green friend never stood a chance." Discord casually says from the sidelines as everyone could hear his munching and crunching as he snacked on a bag of popcorn.

"He's easily taking on Roronoa Zoro's 3 swords with that little thing!!" One of the Krieg pirates exclaimed in utter disbelief.

“He's trash!” One of the pirates from Don Krieg’s crew exclaimed from the sidelines.

“That Zoro fellow's a bitch!” Another one of the pirate goons called out from the crowd.

“That one little sword stopped you with all of that hype and terror around your name? What a letdown.” Another man replied with a sneer.

"HE'S REALLY TRASH!! HE'S REALLY TRASH!! OH MY GOD HE'S TRASH!!!" Don Krieg screamed out as he pointed a finger at Zoro from the sidelines causing the rest of the Krieg Pirates to laugh along with him as Twilight and her friends took a glance at Don Krieg narrowing their eyes at him and his men.

"T... THAT'S IT!! THIS ENDS NOW!!" Rainbow Dash was about to jump in but she was quickly held back by Discord with his lion paw. "I know how rich and ironic it sounds coming from me, but are you NUTS!? You put a single feather there and he's decapitating you faster than anyone here can blink!! Truth to be told even I couldn't really stop him yet with how weak I still am!! So don’t go around making Fluttershy sad and traumatized with your dead chromatic butt!!" Discord reprimanded the rainbow maned pegasus while holding down her tail.

"Big Bro what are you doing?!" Johnny shouted out from the boat.

"Yeah Big Bro! Get serious! Come on!" Yosaku yelled out as well.

"Hey! Who do you think you are calling our Big Bro weak?!!" Yosaku exclaimed.

"You don't know him! You don't know about his life! You're gonna pay for that!" Johnny screamed out.

"Johnny! Yosaku! Stop!!!" Luffy screamed out as he quickly grabbed Yosaku and Johnny by their heads ordering them to stay down. "This is Zoro's fight!!!"

"Don't worry guys! We got this! Now!!!" Twilight said as she was about to jump into the fight as well but Luffy quickly stretched out his arms to pull her back to his side. “LUFFY?!! HEY!! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!! I WAS GOING TO HELP!!” Twilight yelled out in Luffy’s face.

“W.. Wait!! Y.. You're saying that you're already weakened right now?!! B… But I thought you can turn anyone into trees with just a snap of a finger to save someone from a bad guy!!” Spike said.

"That was when my body was stable and I was already filled with chaotic magic. How do you think you and more than half of Equestria are here Spike? I'm drained. I almost got erased from existence. Literally If it wasn't because of the sheer chaos that this world is filled with to the brim that I was able to resurrect myself with side effects on my appearance. Now any heavy reality bending is unbearable and these are even harder times for me and my magic at the moment. I'm recovering but it will be quite a long time before I'm nowhere near at using my former amounts of chaotic power."

"Damn!!" Spike muttered to himself as he and his friends bear the same sentiments at the moment. The fact that Discord was unable to just snap their problems away.

"This is Zoro's fight! His DREAM! I will not let any of you get in the way of it!" Luffy screamed while holding Twilight with all his might, effectively locking the alicorn princess in his arms.

"Your going to let me pierce your heart? Why not withdraw?" Ignoring all of the discussions going on around them Mihawk asks Zoro with narrowed eyes as he held his dagger to his opponent's chest who true to his word was just inches away from penetrating the swordsman's heart.

"I don't know why... But it feels like if I back down even a single step then all of the pledges and promises I made throughout my life will be shattered... And if I allow that to happen then... I will never be able to recover from where I am now..." Zoro responded with the fire and defiance in his eyes not even blazing out for even a second.

"Yes. That's what defeat means." Mihawk answered back with the piercing glare in his eyes.

"Your right. All the more reason I can't quit then." Zoro responded with a fierce look as Mihawk pressed the swordsman further. "What if you die?"

"Its better than giving up!!"

"Choosing death over defeat...? He's quite strong of heart..." Mihawk thought to himself as he actually felt interested for the first time on what he believed to be just another unremarkable conflict not even worthy of being called any sort of fight. But this swordsman... He needed to test him or else what little interest he would have is going to wither away.

"Young man." Mihawk declared as he withdrew Katogana from Zoro's chest. "State your name!!"

"Roronoa Zoro!!" Zoro answered back as he got into a fighting stance to prepare his ultimate technique and final attack.

"I'll remember it!! No one as strong as you has come around for quite some time!!"

"So as a swordsman's courtesy I'll use the world's strongest black sword to finish you off!!"

The Kogatana is one of Dracule Mihawk's weapons. It is a knife pendant shaped like a cross that is worn on his neck. Mihawk says he uses this weapon only to defeat weak opponents, and it is the smallest known blade he has. Mihawk uses it as more of an accessory than a weapon. Though it appears to have no real value, in the hands of Mihawk, it was able to defeat Zoro with the slightest bit of pressure, and was able to stab close to his heart. Otherwise, it is just an ordinary knife, so bland and small that Mihawk enjoys demonstrating his skill with it. He has also been shown using it as an eating utensil.

"He unsheathed it!! The sword he used to cut our ship with!!" A number of men from the Krieg Pirates freaked out.

Mihawk wields one of the 12 Supreme Grade Blades, the "Black Blade" Yoru, as his main weapon. Yoru is a curved, single-edged black blade in the shape of a Latin cross, with a golden cross guard decorated by red cabochons (which are blue and green in the anime), and a hilt wrapped in bandages, with a particularly big cabochon at its extremity. When he accepts challenges for his title, he only draws this blade for those with enough spirit to earn Mihawk's respect, or enough power to present a threat; otherwise, his Kogatana is sufficient.

"Bro!! That's enough!! Stop now!!" Johnny and Yosaku cried out.

"WHAT?!!" Discord suddenly howled loudly. "OH FRICK!! THINGS ARE GETTING SERIOUS NOW!!"

"What do you mean now?" Rainbow Dash inquired.

"Short version is that Bird Eyes never remembers one single name of no one I had ever seen him fight so far and he barely uses the large weapon he has on his back. From what little he tells me I only know of one other name he remembers to this day. Someone known in this world by the name of Red Haired Shanks. He is one of the big fish around here so for him to recognize that much of your friend he must have something special eh?" Discord said as he looks at them.

"Wait!! Shanks?!! That guy over there knows him?!" Spike said with surprise.

"Huh? You guys have heard of him? Interesting..." Mihawk smirked.

"Yeah!! Let me tell you!!" Spike excitedly starts re telling the stories that Luffy said and even took the moment to tell him about everything that has been happening ever since arriving in this world. Zoro dismisses the whole conversation as he readied himself.

Zoro then stands back up as he faces Mihawk extending his arms in the process.

"W... What does he think he's doing?!" Spike worriedly said upon seeing Zoro just standing there.

"Oh!! I can't look!!" Fluttershy added as she quickly averted her eyes from the current scenario.

Mihawk attacks as another bloody streak slashes upon Zoro's chest. "ZORO!!!" Twilight screamed upon laying her eyes on the tragic scenario in front of her.

Twilight suddenly broke free from Luffy's hold and zips in an instant towards Mihawk as she was going to...

SWISH!!

Suddenly something wasn't right.. Why did everyone suddenly looked... Odd...? Why was everything suddenly going red...?

Twilight gasps and suddenly looked around in a uncontrollable manner realizing that she was somehow back with Luffy and everyone. Then she suddenly puts a hoof around her neck to feel it as if trying to confirm that it was still there. "D... Did I just...?" Immediately her attention was on Discord. A very frail looking Discord who is wheezing for breath and a worried Fluttershy fretting over him. "Huff... Huff... W... What did I warn you about foolish princess...?" Discord straight up ask her as he keeps coughing hard and wheezing in the process as he tried to get these words from his breath. "Sheesh...!! Your welcome by the way...!!"

Twilight looks at him getting all speechless. She has nothing to say now. Honestly it wasn't that hard to put together into words what just happened. She died. Mihawk had cut her down in one swift slash and she was killed. Then Discord brought her back. No. He prevented her from even doing so in the first place. But the fact that for the moment she was dead, If it weren't for Discord the fact that all things she held dear would've been gone forever in that one moment shook Twilight to her very core. Barely holding back tears she finally answered her friend. "T... Thank you!! Really!!" Discord just being meek gives Twilight a shaky thumbs up with his eagle claw as around them still screamed upon seeing Zoro fall down.

"Oh no!!" Fluttershy dreaded as she jumps into the water because Zoro was sliding off the wooden platform. She uses her wings to give her swimming a boost and manages to caught Zoro. She saw so much blood that she thought she was going to vomit but she just kept swimming. But luck would have it that Ussop gave her a hand. Fluttershy gasps as she coughs out some water as Ussop pats her back as she then drags Zoro to a floating wood pile. "Come quick!!" Twilight hesitates for a second but when she saw that the other swordsman was not bothering to move she quickly flew to avoid Mihawk and to reach Zoro. Twilight scoffs as she presses her hooves on his chest a couple of times until he coughs the water out. "Twilight I need stitches!!" Fluttershy requested as she tries her best to stop Zoro's bleeding.

Twilight quickly looks around and saw Sanji as she quickly flew over to him. "You've got a medic kit here right?" Sanji quickly nodded. "With so many fights that occur around here we're bound to have some in the kitchen." Then in a flash of light she's gone. Not a minute after she came back carrying one medic kit that she quickly delivered to Fluttershy who immediately started working on Zoro. "No way..." Spike said as he was shaking so much that he quickly hides behind Discord while he just rolled his eyes. "At least your smart enough to know that you've got no chance." Discord noted before he snaps his fingers sending Spike back inside the Baratie.

Luffy yelled as he threw himself at Mihawk which the master swordsman easily dodges. "You've got some got friends." Mihawk exclaimed. "Look closely boy. Your friend is not dead yet." Mihawk added as he pointed to Zoro's location.

"I am Dracule Mihawk!! It is much too early for you to die!! Know thyself!! Know thy world!! And become strong Roronoa Zoro!! No matter how many years pass by I shall stand here at the top of the world and wait for you!! So forge on ahead with that fierce conviction and try to surpass my sword!! Surpass me Roronoa Zoro!! You have to!!" Mihawk declared as everybody got silent.

"Well I guess that's my signal to go too." Discord shrugged as he follows Mihawk back to his transport. "I just got one last thing to warn about. Your harmony all mighty rainbow laser thing? Yeah... You kind of can't use it anymore..." At the mention of this words Twilight and her friends were beyond shocked and in disbelief at the mention of these words. "W... What do you mean?" Twilight asks with a hint of fear within her. "Well... Its not like you can't actually use it but more like you should choose not too. I believe it doesn't take a genius to know that harmony and chaos don't mix. They are opposites and as dear Fluttershy knows that being harmonious can very well actually kill me although that's mostly because I'm pure chaos. Now you girls however? You got chaos deep inside your very beings. Chaos that can react quite painfully if you try to invoke harmony in your bodies to do your little light show." Discord explained to them as Twilight and her friends have quite a bit of a problem fully processing it.

Truly so far they haven't need it for any situation but to know they no longer have the power to fallback for the elements for the foreseeable future was truly shocking. "Can't you do anything about it?" Asks Applejack.

"Oh totally. It would be quite easy for me to just extract the chaos from your body but something tells me that it would be better if you all keep it for now. After all the power of chaos you all posses can be nurtured and when it grows enough... Well why ruin the surprise?" Discord asks with a teasing tone. "Alas. I must go now. Toodles!" Discord bids farewell as he kept walking away as Luffy hears all of this discussion but he doesn't understand what they are talking about.

"Luffy..." The rubber man then turns to see Zoro holding up his blade with tears in his eyes. "Sorry for worrying you and everybody else!! I know that if I don't become the world's greatest swordsman then it will only embarrass you!! I swear that I'm never going to loose again!! Until the day I fight him and win!! I swear never to loose again!! Any problems with that?!! King of the Pirates?!!"

Mihawk walks away seeing that he's no longer needed here. He turns to Luffy and asks. "And what do you desire boy?"

"I'm going to be the King of the Pirates!!" Luffy immediately answered without any hesitation.

"That's a harder road ahead. A one tough path even harder than surpassing me." Mihawk answered with a smirk.

"Whatever!! I don't care!! I wanted to do that anyway!! Bleh!!!" Luffy said with defiance within him as he stuck out his tounge at Mihawk in a rather goofy manner.

"You and your friends make a good team... I'd like to see you all again sometime in the future..." Mihawk said with a grin as he turns to leave with Discord by his side.

"Hawk Eyes!! Did you come all the way out here for my head?!! The head of the infamous ruler of the East Blue Don Krieg?!" Don Krieg stands behind Mihawk and calls him out as Mihawk stops for a moment as he quietly turns towards him. "For a while yes. But I've already enjoyed myself here. And so I'll return back to my nap." Discord then looks at Krieg with a raised eyebrow. "Your a bit over your head ain't ya buddy?"

"What the?! Is he serious?!" Spike exclaimed as he peeks through the restaurant table and watches the whole situation unfold even worse.

"Is that jerk really thick headed?!" Twilight mumbled as she blasts a heated beam of magic and made a wall between them. "Do I look like I needed your aid?" Mihawk asks.

"Not aid. Just an appreciation for letting my friends live." Twilight answered as Mihawk began to leave with nothing but a smirk as he kicks the wall down as well and knocking Krieg who tried to shoot the master swordsman in the process but failed as Mihawk sails away into the distance.

"Usopp!! Go on ahead now!!" Luffy immediately says after seeing that this was the perfect chance for someone to get away. Fluttershy quickly gave instructions to Johnny and Yosaku as they took Zoro to the small boat they were in with Usopp and flew away. "Zoro and I will definitely bring Back Nami! So make sure to get us a cook!" Usopp called out.

Applejack looked around “Uh not to be a stick in the mud but how are we going to follow them after we’re done recruiting?” Twilight then looks around. "Oh Discord...?" Twilight was about to ask when she suddenly remembered something. "Why...?" Twilight said to herself as she slammed her head with a hoof. "I guess we have no choice but to ask the chef for a boat." The purple alicorn groaned. "We just got out of debt.."

"Don't you worry Twilight. We will find a way after that. For now lets just beat up these guys and drive these idiots once and for all!!" Luffy said with a grin as he turns to Twilight. "Okay!! We can do this!! Together!!" Twilight said as she gave Luffy a smirk.

“Hey old man! If we beat up these guys for you and make them go away then I’m off the hook right?” Luffy called out with a smile of enthusiasm. “Yeah.. Yeah… Suit yourself…” Chef Zeff snorted with a grunt.

Don Krieg then stood up with a grunt as brush off his coat of the dirt and debris. "Well that was a bit of nuisance." Krieg exclaimed as he glared at Twilight. "I'm gonna make sure you pay for that soon enough..."

"We were originally planning on abandoning this ship anyways so who cares of it got destroyed." Krieg said as he looks towards the Baratie. "Look at that goofy looking ship..." Krieg said as he muttered to his subordinates. "If we have that boat then we wouldn't need a ship on the Grand Line anymore. Having that ship will be more effective than hanging a white flag or pretending to be marines. It lowers our enemy's defenses and we'll be able to sneak in close to enemy ships than ever before!! It will be the perfect disguise for us!!" Krieg exclaimed as his subordinates around him looked on nervously.

"I see... Nobody would ever suspect that there would be pirates lying in wait on such a stupid looking ship like that."

"This era is teeming with pirates in every ocean. Rebuilding our fleet will be a piece of cake!!" Don Krieg finally said.

“What?! W… We’re going back to the Grand Line on that Don?! B… But what if one of the pirates as powerful as Mihawk gets in our way?! H.. He will… Gyahhh!!!” One of Krieg’s pirate goons screamed in pain as he gets shot by a pistol and falls to his death to the ocean much to the shock of everyone else especially Twilight and her friends.

"Your still afraid of that bastard?!!" Krieg asks with a harsh glare to one of his pirates who dared question him.

"No!! O... Of course not boss!!" The Krieg Pirates all responded trying to appease their captain but with fear clearly shown in their eyes.

"You heartless monster!! After everything they've done sticking up for you?!!" Gabby yells out to the enemy pirate captain.

"You think that a normal person can just cut down a giant galleon?!!" Krieg kept talking to his pirate goons pointedly ignoring the griffon making Gabby pout. "W.. What do you mean by that Don?" One of the Krieg Pirates asked.

"Isn't it obvious that he got some strange power from a devil fruit?!!" Krieg clarified making his pirate subordinates perk up with realization in their eyes. "Devil Fruit users who only have been heard of in legends and hearsays for the people here... The Grand Line is full of them!! There's no doubt that the Hawk Eyed Man used some strange power when cutting our ship!! Even that straw hat wearing punk there with his weird ability is just another run of the mill pirate in the Grand Line!!" Krieg said as he pointed to the Baratie. "But Red Leg Zeff spent an entire year on the Grand Line meaning he must have found a way to deal with those monsters!!"

"Wait!! Are you saying that those candy colored ponies are actually people too just with devil fruit powers?!" One of Krieg's crewmates asks out. "What would they be if not?! Tales say that there's devil fruits that transform you into animals too!!" Krieg responds as he points at the other direction. "The method to deal with them must have been written down on that travel log!! There might even be information on One Piece there as well!!"

"Heh!! As expected from our Don Krieg!!"

"So that's how it was!!"

"All we got to do is get our hands on that log and the world's treasures will be ours for the taking!!"

One by one all of the well fed and motivated members of the Krieg Pirates picked up their various weapons and got ready to fight to the point they don't care who they have to kill. "Alright you bastards!! Lets take over that restaurant!! YEAH!!!"

"Oh by the way Don, Are you still thinking about getting that big paycheck offer after we're done here? Someone sends a message saying they are snooping around for someone willing to take a job. Some guy and a woman saying they're from a group called Baroque Works." Gin exclaimed offhandedly to his boss.

"Yeah sure. It might be worth checking out after this." Krieg agreed.

"Woah!! They're all getting fired up!!" Luffy said excitedly.

"Ugh!! Why are you saying it like its a good thing?!! " Rarity said with disdain while looking at the pirates on the other side.

"Uh hello? What's better than to kick baddies butts?" Rainbow Dash exclaimed as if she was saying something obvious.

"Oh I don't know... How about not getting in this kind of situation one after the other wherever we visit somewhere new on this world? Its like problems quite literally follow us around..." Rarity said with a roll of her eyes as she groaned a bit.

"Girls now is not the time for bickering." Twilight reminded her friends. "We are getting company soon and not the good kind."

"Hey old man!! Its a promise right?!" Luffy asks Zeff once again about their little deal.

"You don't have to tell me twice. My restaurant would become a wreck if I let you work here for too long anyways."

"Yeah. With all due respect but I got to say that your probably the biggest disgrace of a chore boy that I've heard so far." Gilda bluntly said.

"Meh. I'm cool with that." Luffy said with a shrug.

"Where are Patty and Carne?" Sanji asks a nearby chef.

"They're all busy with the battle preparations!! Those guys sure are reliable in times like these!!" The chef said with enthusiasm.

"Only in times like these." Sanji was quick the correct the guy with a groan. "Well you better go to the control room and open up the fins."

"Wow!! Are we seriously using the fins?! Awesome!! Finally we'll get to see what they even are!!" Gilda exclaimed.

"What?! Are you sure?! That will just give our enemies a foothold!!" Another cook tried to retort Sanji's statement.

"It doesn't matter. The old geezer won't shut up if we fight inside the restaurant." Sanji responded.

"Did you say something brat?" Zeff questions Sanji with narrowed eyes.

"Yeah!! I said that you won't shut up!!" Sanji answered shamelessly as he sneered at Chef Zeff.

"Umm sorry but you talking like that isn't very kind..." Fluttershy quietly says.

"Yeah... Your right... Sorry geezer..." Upon understanding what the butter yellow pegasus meant Sanji changes his attitude immediately as he apologizes to the middle aged man.

"Don't. I guess I was also kind of rude." Curiously enough even Zeff seemed to comply to apologize perplexing the number of Baratie Chefs that were present.

"I will go activate the fins right away!!" A chef exclaimed as he hurriedly goes down into the restaurant and soon enough a wooden platform extended from the entrance of the Baratie surprising Twilight and her friends. "Wow!! You guys even got a makeshift battle stage?! That's rad!!" Rainbow Dash complimented as soon enough it began that the platform was quickly filed down by the chefs from Baratie with their weapons on hand as the first line of defense.

"HERE THEY COME NOW!!" Gaimon called out as the scrub brush guy inside the treasure chest takes out his two pistols while being lifted into the air by the Panda Bat Peebee.

"And we're out here to fight. Just like saving Equestria all over again huh?" Spike said with a grin getting ready to blow out green fire from his mouth while flying beside the Panda Bat. "Besides aren't these guys small fry compared to the minions of the Storm King who attacked Canterlot during that Friendship Festival?"

"Umm to be fair some of the storm creatures didn't have the motivation in them." Fluttershy stated truthfully as she defended the status of some of the storm creatures.

It was then that hundreds of pirates all started charging towards the Baratie with whatever gun or makeshift weapon that they have in hand. As the Krieg Pirates close in to attack Sanji jumps in there and starts kicking with so much brutal potency that they instantly fell unconscious from sheer pain while spitting blood.

"RELOAD!! AIM!! FIRE!! FIRE!! FIRE!!" One of the Baratie Chefs screamed out as he and the other cooks kept firing their pistols as much as they can while there was still ammunition available. "FIRE!!"

"AHHH!! AHHH!! GET THEM OFF ME!! GET THEM OFF ME!! AHHH!!!" The Krieg Pirates screamed out in pain as Spike flies beside Peebee the Panda Bat who was carrying Gaimon. The Scrub Brush Guy blasts his double pistols while in the air like there's no tomorrow to down as much of the enemy pirates as he can while Spike spits out streams of green fire from his dragon mouth to seriously burn them.

Gilda charges straight into the enemy lines and fights back as she grabs a large barrel and throws it at the huge pirate knocking him and his crewmates back like bunch of dominoes before using her wind slashes on their backs or through their chests. "GYAAHH! MY FUCKING EYE!" One of the Krieg Pirates screamed out in pain as he felt Gilda slash at his face and hitting through one of his eyes.

It was then that a bizarre character came into the scene named Pearl. A towering man, Pearl’s ensemble includes two large iron plates covering his front and backside as well as two small plates with large pearls embedded in them for strong blunt attacks. “I am the shield man!! Nothing can get through me!! I’m such an efficient fighter that I never shed a drop of blood in my life!!”

“Oh great, another freak show.” Gilda said.

“You're the best bloody shots of the Baratie!! You let them shit idiots know it!!” One of the cooks from the Baratie cried out as they fight tooth and nail with the vicious pirates from Krieg’s crew with their massive trident like forks stabbing and slashing each of them while the others pull out their pistols and rain bullets on them like there’s no tomorrow.

Despite this it quickly became clear that for all of their unimpressive looks the Krieg Pirates weren't slouches when it comes to combat. Twilight and her friends manage to stand their ground but the chefs of the Baratie where quickly getting more and more hurt and that the Krieg Pirates gained territory. It also didn't help that Pearl was clearly way stronger than the average Krieg pirate.

"We are the Krieg Pirates!! The greatest crew in the East Blue!! Your not dealing with average scrubs that you have dealt with before!!" One of the pirates exclaimed as he entered into a fierce clash with his sword with one of the Baratie Chef's giant fork on hand.

“Pearl Present!!” Pearl punches one of the enemies on the face causing him to get knocked out with blood gushing out of his mouth and teeth splattering to the side. This was followed by Gin who ran over to the Baratie cooks engage in melee fight to bash their heads in with his tonfa as well as having bones broken in his enemy’s shoulders.

“Fire Pearl Present!! Hahahaha!!” Pearl then lights himself on fire before throwing small flaming pearls on his targets as Chef Zeff just grunts and charges into battle kicking his projectiles away. “Get ready!! Fire!! Double Cannon shot!! Fire!! Triple Projectile Threat!! Fire!!” Patty and Carne screamed orders into each other’s faces as the cannons blast the Krieg Pirates into oblivion and sending those who survive flying away too hurt to keep fighting from their Sabagashira 1.

The Sabagashira I is a relatively small craft designed to resemble an open-mouthed fish, complete with painted eyes, a sculpted dorsal fin, and tailfin-esque rudders; its cockpit may fit two average-sized men. When idle, it is docked at the "head" of the Baratie, lending the entire restaurant its famously eccentric appearance. When deployed, the ship must be propelled and steered with two sets of pedals built into the cockpit floor. The ship's interior contains three cannons that can be extended through the mouth, and fired simultaneously.

“You wanna piece of me?!! You wanna piece of me?!!”

“Well then bring it on!!”

Gin didn’t utter a single word as he ran over to them and bashes his tonfa into the faces of these Baratie Cooks causing them to get trashed to the side in a puddle of their own blood.

“Get in there and kill them all!! What are you waiting for you idiots?!! You pieces of trash!! I'll show you not to mess with the future ruler of all seas!" Krieg screamed to his crewmates as he pulled out a needle machine gun to kill all the enemies in front of him with some of the cooks from the Baratie getting injured in the shoulder or the knee.

“Fire!!! Fire!!! Fire!!!” Patty and Carne screamed out as they blasted cannon balls from their submersible on the waters targeting more of the Krieg Pirates.

“Alright!! This ends today you varmints!! I’m gonna..!! Ahhh!!” Applejack yelled in pain as she felt getting hit by Pearl’s blunt attack. “Pearl Fire Present!!” Pearl yelled out as he clashes both of his pearl shields together and engulfs his enemies in blue flames having Rarity thrown to the side as the unicorn mare tried to help Applejack.

Gilda sighs as she saw the state of some of the Baratie Cooks and Gilda saw what they were doing wrong. "They're chefs!! They should be experts on fire crap!!" Gilda thought as she flies into the air with Spike, Gaimon and Peebee the Pandabat as the griffon yelled. “Lizard you with me!” Gilda said as she grabs a can of non stick pan spray while Gaimon just kept firing his double pistols without a break and reloading as soon as possible to fire again.

Pearl saw the two about to throw some fire pearls back at him and Pearl fires back but Gilda saw it coming. Now lizard!” She used Spike as a human shield against the flames. “Hey! Not cool!”

“Oh don’t be a whiner you’re lava proof!” Gilda shot back at the kid dragon as Gilda shakes the can in a hurry and slams the Can on Pearl head and breaking said container in the process. "Blow it now!!" Gilda ordered as Spike blew out a flame which Gilda sprays on Pearl setting him on fire even more than he could handle. “I am fireproof you idiot!! My blue flames will always be above average and more dangerous than what you can.. AHHHH!!! That hurts!!! That really hurts!!! G… Green Fire?!! I.. I never encountered this before!!”

“Holy crap!” Gilda slaps her head in shock. She grabs more bottles of oil and threw it at Pearl causing more explosive fire as she looks at the weak floor struggling to hold that weight slowly being eaten by more flames. "3... 2...1…" The griffon did a countdown as she saw Pearl fell through the wooden floorboards being stuck. "Ha! Magic Dragon Fire Fool! There’s nothing it can't burn!"

"Not bad… For a midget lizard..." Gilda complemented Spike before warning him once more. “But don’t get a swell head alright?”

“Please help me… Please help us… If you can hear me!!! I NEED YOUR HELP!!! PLEASE!!!” Fluttershy cried out into the waters calling for a friend before an enormous shadow from a beast slowly makes its presence known.

“Here it comes again you bastards!!!!” One of the cooks from the Baratie screamed in terror as they witnessed the sea king known as the Lord of the Coast emerge from the sea waters with a terrifying roar before he began thrashing around in the waters and devouring men from the Krieg Pirates as the tides of war had been turned on the Krieg Pirates.

"Ahhh!! Ahhh!!" Men from both the Baratie Chefs and Krieg Pirates fell down around Gilda as she punches and scratches her enemies with her strong razor sharp claws before having wind blades slash through them with a tornado finishing them inside a whirpool. Beside her however one of the chefs from the Baratie gets cut down by a Krieg Pirate and spilling some blood on her. This angers Gilda as she slashes him across his chest before punching the enemy pirate and sends flying meters away from her. Blood coated the side of Gilda's face from the previous slashes as well as her claws from slicing the enemy pirates on their back and their chests.

One of Krieg’s pirate goons sees the butter yellow pegasus now transformed into Flutterbat bites the enemy pirate all over the body before knocking him out with a powerful stomp to the face.

Meanwhile despite everything that happened earlier the Cutie Mark Crusaders decided to join the fight and unleashes their chaotic power as they immediately saw one of the enemy pirates coming at them and they sprung into action. Sweetie Belle fires a beam of magic at his face and blinds him in the process while Scootaloo headbutts him on his stomach and knocking to the ground while Apple Bloom darted past his legs and finishes him off with a strong buck to the back of his knees.
Another man tried to attack them from behind but Sweetie Belle was quick to pull up a shield to block the attack and giving Scootaloo time to jump on Apple Bloom who throws herself towards the pirate as Scootaloo double bucks him on the chest and sends the enemy flying.

“Ahh come on!!! It’s this all you got? Come at me you bunch of weaklings! GAME'S ON!” Pinkamena Diane Pie screamed as she gallops around the wooden platforms and stabbing her enemies with the bloody knife like she’s some screaming banshee out of a horror movie. “At least those jerks can’t say I’m the most high tempered.” Gilda mumbled as she saw all of this. "It kind of looks like when Kuro performed that one move back then in that village..." Spike exclaimed as he looks at the men that Pinkie blitzes around as more pirates drop down to the ground with stab wounds on them.

The enemy pirates see Applejack bring out her lasso and mustering her strength to kick the members of the Krieg Pirates into the water with her powerful legs getting their ribs or limbs all broken by the apple bucking mare.

“Ahhh!! Please!!! No More!!” A bunch of enemy pirates cried out for their life as they witness the fashionista mare transformed into Nightmare Rarity as she spreads the black smoke and dark blue mist of her form into their mouths making them hallucinate all kinds of nightmares like being tortured by electrocution them with lightning strikes. There were some pirates that tried to slash Nightmare Rarity with their sabers and axes but it was futile seeing as her body of cloud, smoke and mist was intangible to cut like some kind of ghost. "Your all lucky that I didn't unleash the real thing when I could have you ruffians.

"Well?!! What are you waiting for?!! Fight us! We take you all head on!" Rainbow Dash screamed as she literally flies at the speed of sound until her entire body was covered in pure rainbow punching and kicking the Krieg Pirates as she keeps bouncing off each one of them like beam of rainbow light laser as she gets in sync with Applejack who throws her lasso at the remaining enemies and kicking them out the fight.

AAHHHH!!!" Twilight Sparkle screamed out as she goes to each and every single one of the Krieg Pirates on the platform and sends them flying with her magic blasts all the while Minuette by her side sends magic rope of light laser at the Krieg Pirates making them slow down in movement.

As the enemy pirates suffered through this and get desperate to escape Lemon Hearts without a word blasts her magic through a rope movement as the liquid lemon blasts through their eyes giving the Krieg Pirates a very painful and blinding irritation to their sight.

At the same Twinkleshine unleashes her fire star magic to burn them all from the left side while Moondancer makes them all fall to the floor with their bodies being felt as if they weight multiple times over thanks to her spell of augmenting their gravity and even blasts her meteor magic to one of the Krieg Pirates for good measure. "So... Your still planning to fight us...? You mess with one of us... You mess with all of us..." Twilight says to Krieg with a triumphant smile as the enemy captain sees that all of his men are either dead or barely hanging on to consciousness except for Gin and Pearl who are both nearly exhausted and completely immobilized as the utter shock of everyone including Don Krieg and Gin spread throughout their faces as well as to Luffy and even to Chef Zeff who couldn't help but whistle with respect at their overwhelming strength and power. Twilight and her friends now have managed to neutralize the vast majority of the Krieg Pirates that the cooks of the Baratie hadn't been able to kill. Now there were only some men from the Krieg Pirates barely remaining in the battle.

“Hey!!! What’s happening here?!!” A voice called out to grab the attention of Sanji and Chef Zeff to see the pink haired man. Iron Fist Fullbody.

“Huh?!! What are you doing here pretty boy?!!” Sanji asked with a hint of irritation at the sight of the man he had confrontation with. “Yeah… We’re kind of busy right now at the moment…” Rainbow Dash answered the marine with narrowed eyes.

“Jeez… Well if you must know I’m a marine and its my job to take down these pirates and protect the people… Your all pirates to me that should be arrested and thrown in jail but this time I’ll make an exception for some of you… Besides I’m here to finish dinner with my girl!!”

“Yeah… About that…” Moodie thought as she looks back at Fullbody not being able to say anything while all bound and tied up in the clutches of Don Krieg while there was sunken battleship behind him a number of other marines trying to swim to safety amidst the raging battle that’s going on.

"Oh? Would you look at that? Our hostage's man is back! Hey dumbass! You don't mind if we exchange your girl for some good berries to fund out future endeavors right?" Krieg laughs as he aims to mock Lieutenant Double Iron Fist Fullbody. "I bet some rich bastard is gonna treat her real good!!" Fullbody in response however got positively livid. "DON'T YOU DARE!!!" Fullbody screamed as he tries to charge at Krieg but two of Krieg's pirates jumped towards him. Fullbody decks Pearl that approaches him straight in the face with his knuckle dusters knocking him back as blood splatters from his mouth and he breaks off most of his teeth leaving Fullbody exposed to Gin who was about to bash him in the head with his tonfa. At least that would've happened if it weren't for Rainbow Dash zipping in and delivering a powerful double kick to Gin's chest. Rainbow turned to look at Fullbody who was shocked to see that a pirate had saved him. Rainbow finally says something and sighs. "Truce...?"

At the mention of those words Fullbody finally reacts and looks to the side. "Tsk... I guess I got no option left..."

It was then that Luffy quickly charges towards Krieg and punches him in the gut as hard as he can with a tightly clenched fist. Not even mentioning an attack. "Hey!! Your fight is with me you bastard!! Don't push around a helpless girl who's got nothing to do with this!!" Luffy glared into his eyes huffing and puffing hard not liking the idea of kidnapping someone and taking advantage of her.

"W... What...? That rubber kid was willing to fight...? To save my girl...? My would be fiancé?" Fullbody asked out beside Sanji, Gilda, Rainbow Dash, Spike and Gilda beside him.

"Heh, that’s our Luffy for ya." Rainbow said with confidence and pride about her captain as her mind caught up with certain details. "Oh shoot! You guys are gonna marry?" She asks.

"Uh… Well more like we were gonna be in the process to if… This didn't happen... Why do you think I was doing in the Baratie in the first place? I was going to propose to her."

"Grrrr... This could have gone better if Vice Admiral Garp was here with a ton of warships... Instead of sending me in this one vessel..." Fullbody exclaimed with tension written all over his face.

"What?! You mean you've seen Grandpa in this area?!!" Luffy asked the marine officer with bulging eyes and his jaw dropped down to the ground.

"Grandpa?!!" The cooks at the Baratie asked out in complete shock and disbelief. "That monster is your grandpa?!!"

"Yeah Luffy? What are they talking about? A vice admiral of the navy is your grandfather?" Twilight asks the rubber kid.

"Oh yeah... My grandpa is kind of their hero or something." Luffy casually said as he sticks his finger in his nose.

"Damn it..." Krieg exclaimed as he tried to recover from Luffy's punch. It seems like his Wootz steel armor took the worse of Luffy's hit and leaving a notable dent. "Just what I need right now of all things!! That rouge grandchild of that damn beast!!"

"Hey Luffy!! What do you say? Do you wanna call a fleet of marines for your grandpa to help us?" Rainbow called out to her captain. "Man that would help us a lot in fighting Don Krieg!!" Spike added hopefully. "NO WAY!!" Luffy loudly replied. "What kind of pirate would I be if I rely on him?! I fight my own fights!!"

"So you at least understand that much huh... Not that I would care if I were in your same position. I never believed that honor nonsense that Garp bastard spewed crap about all the time."

Krieg thought to himself. "Alright then brat!!! You have pissed me off enough!!! I'm gonna kill you!! I'm gonna rip off your arms and punch your face with your own fist!!! You and everybody else here are gonna pay for what you did to my crew!!! I'm going to end you all!!"

"This ends today!!! ITS BEEN NICE MEETING YOU BUT ITS TIME TO...!!!" Gin charges with an enraged look as he rapidly spins the tonfa between his hands for another demonic bloody technique against Sanji, Applejack and Rainbow Dash.

"N... No!! Noo!! I... I can't!!! I can't do this!!!" Gin thought in his mind as flashbacks flickered in his mind like a roll of film to think about what Sanji, Luffy, Twilight and the others did for him in treating Gin like a friend when they didn't have to.

"NO!! NO!!! NO!!! I CAN'T!!!" Gin cried out much to the shock of his remaining crewmates and to the outrage of Don Krieg. "I can't do it!!! I CAN'T DO IT DON KRIEG!!!" Gin yelled out as he drops his weapons at the last second and falls on his back.

"I… I really have no intention of betraying you nor I think what I've done all along was a mistake... I deeply admire your strength Don... You could even say I'm grateful… But I just can’t bring myself to kill this man! Don Krieg…!! If it's possible… If there’s the slightest chance possible… Could we please let this ship go...?

Applejack and Rainbow Dash stopped their attack seeing the sincerity in Gin's words, their eyes glimmering a rainbow hue while Gilda and Sanji lowered their guard at the mention of those truthful words. Even the chefs of the Baratie were speechless.

"Gin! How could you…! I've misjudged you! What happened to you Commander!?" Pearl voiced his discontent and disappointment in Gin's actions alongside 5 other remaining Krieg Pirates when Krieg suddenly bellowed out. "For fuck's sake!! Seriously Gin!? AFTER ALL YOU’VE ALREADY DONE BACK IN THE DAY!! Now of all time you had to Get SOFT!? So disappointing!! I always believed you to be my most loyal subordinate who could adhere to my philosophy of war more than anyone else…" Krieg said with his voice of heavy disappointment." The reason why I put you as the battle commander of my pirate fleet of fifty ships was because your fighting skill as well as your willingness to win by no means necessary no matter how vile or despicable !! It was greater than any of my subordinates! And now in one of our most vital operations ever the one were our triumphant return depends on are you growing some pathetic conscience?! You got regrets now Gin!? You think a man that had done the things you did can just chicken out of his actions that easily?! FINE!! I'LL DO IT ALL MYSELF!!"

"Let me tell you something Krieg!! Friendship like that is something...!!"

"SHUT UP!!! QUIET!!!!" Don Krieg yelled in Twilight's face.

The deadly poison-gas bomb MH5 is Krieg's most dreaded weapon: an explosive shell containing a highly potent chemical toxin. Typically fired from the central launcher in Krieg's left shoulder-plate, its impact spreads a large cloud of gas that lasts around five minutes. The poison inflicts immediate organ failure and internal bleeding on anyone who breathes it unprotected and, according to Krieg, kills within an hour.

"HAAA! It’s the MH5!" Pearl shouted as he immediately pull up a gas mask. "MH5…?" Everyone else wondered. Twilight however looked on with attention to detail at the mask Pearl pulled up. "Gas Masks…? But why would they pull out such things? It’s because that 'MH5' thing…? Hold on... Could that mean… Is it really..." Twilight thought as she reaches a cathartic realization. "Its some kind of weapon that works with a noxious substance most likely a gas!!"

"Oh? We got a smart cookie here it seems. That’s right! It’s poison gas. Initially it would've been a waste to use such a trump card like the MH5 on small fry but I'm extremely pissed now! Your senseless speeches had managed to wither away even my best commander's bloodlust! You’re an absolute menace to my objectives! That's why I’m straight up EXTERMINATING YOU ALL!!"

"But Don! We were saved by this Restaurant! Can't we..."

"You Monster! How could you say such a thing!?" Rarity shrieks in pure outrage for how Krieg treated Gin, but Krieg ignored her.

"You’re no longer of any use to me. Your conviction has been shattered you Idiot! You think I'll enable you every time you feel in debt because you were given some grub!? That we will become all nice and pleasant if we are given charity!?Pathetic! You failed me Gin, and If I let it go unpunished you will do so again thinking that as long as everyone is nice to us they deserve to be left alone!"

Pirates take what they want whether it’s handed to them willingly or not and stop at nothing to get it! We don’t care for weaklings! They deserve what they get for being weak anyways!"

"Like I will let you fire that poison gas!" Luffy yelled out as charges towards Krieg through a fallen mast of the destroyed ship followed by Rainbow Dash and even the Lord of the Coast who Fluttershy asked to help.

"Nuisances! Why the rush in dying? I'll kill you all in due time!" Krieg exclaimed as he winds up and punches the end of the large mast that Luffy was running up to reach him with his set of diamond fists. "That hammer brat who can't even swim... I told you that I'll kill all of you in due time didn't I?!!"

Krieg then pointed his armed shield towards Rainbow and from multiple holes came multiple sharp spears flying at high speed that forced Rainbow to fly back doing the same to Luffy and forcing him to retreat as well. The Lord of the Coast however dives into the water and he manages to dodge the spears and kept up his charge until he reaches Don Krieg ready to snap his fangs. But Krieg saw the sea beast coming towards him and he prepares to jump back just as the Lord of the Coast chomps down its jaws to where Krieg was previously. "No mere sea beast will get the best of me!!" Krieg screams as he jumps back towards the Lord of the Coast with his fists reared back and lands a punch against the sea beast's skull and stomping on it against the floor and cracking the wood beneath.

The Lord of the Coast hollows in pain which only intensifies when Krieg fires multiple spears at him and a ton of them of hits the sea beast also forcing him to retreat.

"I... Don't deserve this!" Gin said as he throws away his gas mask much to the shock of everyone around him. "What!? Why on Tartarus did you do that!?" Spike with panic. "Are you stupid!? At least give it to us!" Fullbody angrily exclaimed to Gin. "You don't understand! The Don is right I let him down and the crew." Gin answered, leaving everyone amazed. "Hey! Open your eyes already! That man is trying to kill you!" Sanji said as he shook Gin. "Yeah! What could possibly still make you have that high of an opinion on that jerk!?" Gilda said angrily.

"Don’t you dare insult Don Krieg! And of course he is trying too kill me! I always knew the consequences of doing what I am doing right now, and I thought I would never have to worry about it but now... I've done it... And now I'm just a failure who broke his crew's code because his compassion that got in his way..."

"No!" Fluttershy came in and called him out. An unfamiliar edge to her voice." Compassion is never a bad thing to have! Kindness makes things better for everyone!" But at the mention of those words Gin just chuckled and sways his head. "You lot truly aren’t from around here. I'd say all of you even are from this planet... I'll tell you now..." Gin said with a completely serious expression. "On the seas all kindness is gonna do is get you killed." Gin finally said the truth of what he experienced. "Its a reality we all have to swallow. Ain’t it right... Lieutenant?" Gin starts to talks directly at Fullbody who looks shocked for a moment before his vision darkened and he looks to the side while Fluttershy and her friends were confused.

"Long ago in my second year in the marines I was part of a squad commanded by another Lieutenant. Just another marine of the bunch. Then during a confrontation with a pirate and his crew I made the mistake to lower my guard around the captain. All because I trusted his words of surrender." Fullbody then lifts with hand with the knuckle dusters around them. Almost lost a hand and our Lieutenant nearly died for me. That day I swear that I would never trust a pirate's word nor that I would play fair and by the rules with them." He then looks over at Fluttershy and her friends. "That’s why I didn’t doubt for a second to sink you from behind. Pirates fight dirty and the marines have no option but to fight back in the same manner. It’s life or death, and neither side got time to think on moral codes in the middle of fight."

No one Knew what to say, and before they did they Saw how Luffy, Rainbow and the Lord of the Coast were pushed back by Krieg.

"It’s too late to stop me now! EAT THIS!! LETHAL POISON GAS BOMB MH5!!" Krieg exclaimed as the shell of the poison is fired from his shield's canon. Immediately Pearl puts his mask on Krieg included. Everyone else was panicking for the incoming poison bomb. Luffy even takes the mask of Pearl who dives down into the water and tosses them to his friends and Gilda follows his example swipes the gas mask of a dead Krieg Pirate but it was too late.

"Sir! We got to go back inside the restaurant as far as we can!" Patty and Carne hurried off with Zeff with their arms inside the Baratie. It seems like the end but through it all Twilight seems calm with looking straight at the shell of the poison gas flying at her. Just as the shell was about to impact everyone closes their eyes expecting the worst.

But as nothing seem to come, they opened their eyes. And the sight that welcomed their eyes shocked everyone. There was Twilight Sparkle calmly sitting down. And the shell of the MH5 suspended mid air in a purple hue. "EEEEHHHHH!?" everyone else went slack jawed and their eyes popped out upon seeing the princess turn the shell over in what they didn't know was her magic. Even Krieg had his face in shock as if he suddenly became a stone carved statue his eyes obscured in his semblance. Finally she looks over the shell once more. Twilight looks far into the ocean to her side. Then without much reverence she reared the shell back before tossing it as hard as she could with her magic. The MH5 Fled quite the distance before landing on the ocean. Not long after a purple cloud of smoke rose from were the shell landed. "Well that was easy!" Twilight cheerfully said. "She... Did she just...?" Gin asks out barely believing what he just saw. "Yup. She sure did..." Applejack said sounding like her brother for a moment.

"Hehehehe.... Hahahahaha... BWAHAHAHAHA!!!" Everyone suddenly heard a quiet laugh that suddenly became more and more loud by the second. "Hahaha! That’s it." Krieg said as he reverted his armored shield back and took his second one and Joins them together. Somehow then a blade sprouted from the the front forms a long pole from behind. "It... It can't be! Our Don's most powerful weapon! It’s the war spear!!" Pearl shouted with shock. "Now you've done it! Don would never use his greatest trump card this early if he wasn't royally pissed!"

"That’s it." Krieg seriously said with a somber tone to his voice." I don't care what ends up actually happening now so long as I got to blow you all to smithereens! And you are gonna be the First Hammer Boy. Against all odds I survive beyond this seas once and when I get my hands on that log on how to navigate them myself I shall do so again! I WILL NOT FALL TO A NO NAME HOTSHOT CAPTAIN HERE!!" Krieg loudly proclaims.

"Gum!! Gum!! Scythe!!!" Luffy yells out as he quickly ran towards Krieg and ensnares the enemy pirate with his outstreched arms knocking him down in the process. "Grrr!!! You brat!!!"

"Gum!! Gum!! Whip!!" Krieg grunted as he tries to recover and gets up only for Luffy to stretch his leg and kicks Krieg into a wide circle knocking down Krieg and sends him crashing at the debris and continous destruction of his own ship.

"Krieg is down!! Go!! Go!! Go!! Go!!" Gaimon ordered as the chefs of the Baratie and even the marines pull out their guns and fire at Don Krieg with their pistols much to their failure because of their aim at the enemy pirate's armor. "Onward!!! Charge!!!" Fullbody ordered as he and the rest of the marines attach bayonets to the end of their rifles with the rest of the Baratie Chefs behind him much to the worry and concern of Fullbody's fiance Moodie.

"I said get out of my way you fucking pieces of shit!!!" Krieg screams out as he unleashes his chained mace and swings it towards the Baratie Chefs and the Marines as the enemy pirate quickly knocks them down leaving the men moaning and groaning in pain. "Fullbody!!" Moodie cried out from the sidelines as Rarity comes over to comfort her giving the worried woman a hug.

"Gum!! Gum!! Bazooka!!!" Luffy tries to unleash another attack with an aim to send Krieg flying but his opponent just launches a projectile at the rubber kid much to the shock of Twilight and her friends as it explodes and shrapnel scatters all over Luffy causing him to scream in pain.

"GYAHHHH!!!" The rubber kid keeps crying out in pain as he tries to get the shrapnel off his skin but the kid pirate just keeps pushing it. "Gum!! Gum!! Axe!!" Luffy then stretches out his leg and brings it down on Krieg down below but Krieg just unleashes a ton of shuriken stars at Luffy causing him in scream out in pain once more causing the attack to fail and for Luffy to stretch it back much to the amusement of his enemy.

"Grrr!!! This can't go any longer!!! Ahhhh!!!" Gaimon once again charges out there with his Pandabat Peebee assisting him with flight only for Don Krieg to scatter another set of shuriken stars at Gaimon as the Scrub Brush Guy tries to dodge with his speed but one of them slices through his skin causing him to get back.

"Cauliflower Uncle!!!" Luffy yelled out worried for the state of his friend.

"Alright that's it!!! I won't let you hurt any of my friends!!! Ahhhh!!!" Spike yells out as he flies towards Don Krieg with the aim to blow fire on him but the enemy pirate just unleashes his needle machine gun at the baby dragon causing one of the spikes to pierce through his skin causing Spike to yell out in pain.

"Spike!!! Noo!!!" Twilight cried out from the sidelines as she tries to go for Spike.

"SPIKE!!!" Applejack cried out as she quickly tends to Spike before galloping towards Don Krieg faster and faster with the intention to give him the hardest buck ever to his face only for Krieg to slam his diamond fists at Applejack's face causing her to get knocked down with a bleeding mouth. "Spikey Wikey!!! You are not going hurt one more little spine for him!!! And I'm here to remind you why!!!" Rarity enraged by all of this ran towards Krieg as well only for the enemy pirate to punch her hard in the face with a diamond encrusted fist weapon causing the fashionista mare to spit out blood from her mouth and even a tooth as she gets knocked down.

"GIRLS NOO!!!" Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack and even Gabby cried out as they saw Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo in their Flutterbat forms rush towards Don Krieg but the man just lets out another weapon throwing his bombs all over them causing a massive explosion much to the outrage of everyone else.

"GRRRR!!! YOU BASTARD!!! I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID TO MY NAKAMA YOU SCUMBAG!!!" Luffy screamed as he charges towards Don Krieg once more looking all the more bloody and beaten from the wounds he had sustained and the aftermath of the explosion to throw one more hard punch.

"It looks like your going to stop at nothing to hit me!!! Then why don't you try hitting my Kenzan Cape?!!" Krieg yells back as he unleashes his spiked metal cape much to utter shock and worry of their friends especially Twilight who was revealed to have used her magic to cast a magic barrier to protect her friends from the explosion that occured. "GUM!! GUM!! BULLET!!!"

"Haha!! You can't lay a foot on me unless I have my... AHHHHH!!!" Krieg felt like his entire face was about to shatter as the force of Luffy's punch gets ballistic and Krieg felt like his entire face was going to be demolished as the enemy pirate ends up splitting blood and teeth to go flying out while Luffy's clenched fist was covered in red from the injuries of the metal spike to the fact that deep inside the rubber kid really felt as if his hand was just about ready to get teared apart.

"He's down!!! Now its time for payback!!!" Rainbow Dash gets fired up as she charges forward much to the protest and worry of her friends but it was too late to stop her. "Your gonna pay for what you did to Scootaloo and her friends you bastard!!! I'm going to kick your ass so hard that I'll end up tearing a new one!!!" An enraged Rainbow Dash all teary eyed musters all of her strenght to just get one good punch but Krieg just slams his shoulder pad shield towards her causing Rainbow to send crashing to the wall hard. "What did I tell you rainbow colored horse freaks?!! Do you all think this is a game?!! Do you wanna die?!! You wanna die?!! This will all be your graves right here and right now where I'll be spitting on it!!!"

Krieg kept ranting on with his speech only for Luffy to gather strenght and jumps up into the air before slamming a kick down Krieg's face causing him to crash down into the wood and debris all the way to the ocean before Luffy just fishes him out to give one more hard punch to Krieg's cheek shattering more of his teeth and the enemy pirate to vomit up more blood. "Huff... Huff... Puff... Puff.... This will be my grave...?!! More like its going to end up before you...!!" Luffy exclaimed as he glares straight into Krieg's eyes huffing and puffing.

"Its me?!!! ME?!! WHO'S?! WHO'S!? ANSWER THAT AGAIN YOU SON OF BITCH PIRATE!!!"

"Girls!! Lets get him!! Now ours chance!!!" Minuette exclaimed as she rallies the rest of Twilight's Canterlot friends to just unleash one more continues barrage of spells to help Luffy win.

"Are you sure about this Minuette? Won't this just end up being an inconvenience to our friends?!!" Moondancer questioned as she ran through with the mares much to worry of her friends especially Twilight but the Canterlot unicorn just tries to drown it out in the background just to do something.

"Yes I know Moondancer but its either we get them or they get us!!" Minuette answered with a smirk. "And I don't know about you but I would rather die fighting rather than risk getting captured and taken advantage of!!"

"Hehehe alright Minuette if you say so." Lemon Hearts replied with a reassuring smile. "Besides we have always been fighting for Equestria and the ideals of friendship. I for one would not go down without a fight."

"Yeah way to say it Lemon Hearts!! And seeing Luffy and the others make their stand is telling me that we haven't lost yet. We have all stand together and united in saving Equestria from 3 world ending villains!! I am not dying here!! No sirree!!" Twinkleshine added with a grin as the four mares charges forward getting ready to unleash their magic.

Twilight and all of her friends are just standing there in utter shock before deciding to jump in and intervene as the four Canterlot Ponies didn't expect Don Krieg who just slams down his War Spear on Moondancer. "Moondancer!! Noo!!" Minuettte cried out before Krieg just pulls out his flamethrower with a blast and burns the mare. "Minuette!!!" Lemon Hearts looks over to her friend rushing to help when Krieg just throws his metal net on her and Twinkleshine could only feel as if the life would flash from her eyes the moment the enemy pirate scatters his bombs everywhere causing a massive explosion as the entire place gets filled up with crackling fire and smoke once more.

"I'm sorry but what did you say?! What did you all say?! Do you all want me to mess you all up just like I did with your fucking friend?!! Shut the fuck up! I'Look at me!! You think any of you is making it out of this!? I rule this fucking Sea !!! Is this not fun anymore?!! Have Up there you all thought you had a chance??!!! Way up in the sky you all thought you had this in the Bag WHAT?!!! HUH?! I MEAN YOU ALL COME DOWN HERE WITH YOUR PRETTY PONY KIDS PLAYING PIRATES AND YOU ARE SURPRISED TO SEE HOW IT TURNS OUT!? THIS IS PIRACY! THIS IS HOW THE REAL WORLD WORKS!NO STUPID FRIENDSHIP IS GONNA PROTECT YOU FROM ME CARVING YOUR DAMN SKULLS IN!!"The exhausted Krieg screamed as loudly as he can while he monolouges even walking around and throwing his hands in the air daring everyone and anyone around him to come forward as...

"Yeah... Your all better off not trying anything stupid..." Gilda added as she grabs unto two members of the Krieg Pirates by their heads with her talons digging in painfully as behind her Twilight and all of her friends were ready to pounce on them and fight back as Patty and Carne on their war transport pointed their cannons at the enemy pirates with even Fullbody and his unit of marines pulls out their guns on them giving the Krieg Pirates no choice but to refrain from helping out their captain.

Luffy ripping off the metal net suddenly stretches his arm back then throws a devastating punch at Krieg. "Gum!!! Gum!!! Pistol!!!" Before Krieg could even think about how Luffy was still able to fight the rubber kid as he stretches both his arms far back, and then hurls them forward, striking Krieg with both instantaneously with a double open palm strike with both hands, that sends the man flying off the other direction. "Gum!! Gum!! Bazooka!!!" But as Krieg tries to recover once again from Straw Hat's attack Luffy proceeds to stretch out his arms while twisting them, and then takes hold of the pained exhausted Krieg. Luffy then untwists him, rapidly spinning Krieg, while bringing him crashing to the floor. "Gum!!! Gum!!! Rubber Mallet!!!" As Krieg was into the floorboards with blood splattering out of his mouth Luffy then stretches one leg high into the air, then brings his foot down immediately below him crashing down via a high-gravity stomp on Krieg for massive damage, strong enough to destroy large buildings and ships in a single hit. And as if that wasn't enough for Luffy the Rubber Kid latches unto Krieg's neck then stretches his neck backwards, then snaps it back for a devastating head butt to the Krieg's face but as the captain of the Krieg Pirates finally gives out...

"HE DID IT!!! YAY!!!" This time not only Spike but all of Twilight and their friends as well as the chefs of the Baratie and even the marines cheered for Krieg's final defeat while the Krieg Pirates couldn't believe their eyes.

"Oh yeah!! Now he got this!!" Spike said as he got all hyped up. "Heh what I tell you? If its a battle of resistance there ain't no way Luffy would loose this one!!" Spike exclaimed being confident in Luffy's strenght.

"And he Really Was tenacious to the last!! Gotta give it to him!! He ain't the sharpest tool in the shed sometimes but dang he takes fights as naturally as pigs do the mud!!" Applejack added praising their pirate captain.

"Wow!! Where did you guys get someone that tough?!" Gilda asks all impressed and amazement shown on her face.

"Meh... We just kind of found him on some kind of mysterious island one day!!" Pinkie chirped.

"Of course you did..." Gilda sighs.

"Well what ends good ends good!!" Pinkie exclaimed.

"That didn't make any sense..." Everyone answered back calling out the pink party pony as they see Luffy collapsed to his feet as well.

With that the battle between the sea restaurant Baratie and the Krieg Pirates had finally reached its conclusion...

"Sorry but we ran out of bandages." Sanji reminded the rubber kid. "Don't need it." Luffy simply said as he takes out the large bandage from his forehead as well as doing the same with the other ones around his body. "I see..." Sanji responded as the cook takes a puff out of his cigarette then made a gesture below him where there was a bandaged up Spike looking up at him. The dragon nodded at Sanji and quickly flies inside the restaurant.

A moment later Twilight teleports directly inside the room as well as Spike, The Cutie Mark Crusaders, Gabby, Gilda and Twilight's unicorn friends Minuette, Twinkleshine, Lemon Hearts, Moondancer and of their friends all roughed up and patched up with band aids on their heads as well as other bandages around their body. As the first one to arrive Twilight quickly goes over to Luffy to give the rubber kid a careful loving hug but the rubber kid did not hesitate to resist at all. "Thank Celestia your alright!!" Twilight said.

"You certainly gave us quite the scare darling." Rarity exclaimed.

"Heh thanks guys!!" Luffy answered with a grin.

"Hahaha!! Its good to see that your fine already!! Ya certainly are one tough kid!!" Gaimon laughs loudly being present as well.

"Ah Cauliflower Uncle... I forgot a bit about you. Sorry." However upon hearing Luffy's words Gaimon huffs with a smirk and a proud smile adorning his face for some reason. "Heh it ain't no concidence kid. I already mastered the skill of passing by completely unnoticed for really extended periods of time long ago! Just when someone has completely known about your prescense is one of the best moments to strike!" Gaimon exclaimed before the scrub brush guy actually deflated a bit from his emotions. "However this time there wasn't much to do from the sidelines..."

"Well you did actually help us get out of the enemy pirate's grasp safely so there's that!!" Apple Bloom chirped in. "Yeah and you fought with me, the girls and everyone else. I'm sure no one would ever forget your bravery in the fight that just happened." Sweetie Belle added with a smile. "Yeah! I'm sure everyone else would have fought and died to defend the Baratie and made sure that it lives on." Scootaloo replied with a proud grin on her face.

"Wait! Your right! Hahaha! Silencer Gaimon the New World Pirate has done it again!!" Gaimon said out loud with a laugh.

It was then that Luffy sees Minuette, Twinkleshine, Lemon Hearts and Moon Dancer bring in a metal cart full of treats and desserts for Luffy to eat.

"Wow!! You girls are alright!! I'm so glad!!" Luffy jumped for joy upon seeing Twilight's Canterlot friends and he even had tears in his eyes.

"Well Princess Twilight did save us at the last second by casting her barrier spell." Moondancer said with a smirk making Twilight blush. "We've faced against world ending villains time and time again back in our home. Its going to take more than some bombs to stop us." Moondancer said with a proud grin as she, Minuette, Twinkleshine and Lemon Hearts strike a triumphant pose much to the admiration of others in the room especially the humans.

Minuette then had prepared a batch of colorful and assorted cupcakes for them to eat as Pinkie Pie had appeared on the other side of the room with a cart filled to the brim with various sweets and confections of all shapes and sizes.

"Thanks so much for making all of this Minuette!! These are really good!!" Luffy exclaimed as he eyed the colorful set of cupcakes made by the canterlot mare.

"Heh... I've learned from the best!!" Minuette exclaimed as she grinned and does a hoof bump with Pinkie with who smirks back.

Lemon Hearts baked up a batch of lemon squares and even her special lemon meringue pie.

"Woah!! Awesome Lemon Hearts!! I didn't know you were as good as Sanji when it comes to baking!! I'm really gonna enjoy this now!!" Luffy looked on with stars and sparkles in his eyes.

"Well its in the name after all. You know what they say, When life gives you lemons, turn it into something sweet rather than sour." Lemon Hearts exclaimed with a look of pride putting a hoof on her waist while leaning against the wall.

Moondancer presents her white chocolate raspberry swirl cake.

"Woah this looks really good Moondancer!! Your such a amazing baker!! I can't wait to get to Equestria and taste more of your baked goods!! This cake is the best thing yet!!" Luffy exclaimed his mouth watering a bit.

"Thank Luffy." Moondancer answered blushing with awe at the praise of her work. "White chocolate raspberry swirl cake is my speciality because its Twilight's favorite. One of my very best friends."

Not to mention Applejack prepared a plate piled high with different apple dishes. "Woah!! You've baked all of this for me Applejack?" Luffy said with a big smile on his face. "That looks soo good!!"

“That’s th’ great thing about our family,” Applejack said with pride. “Ah can both at once!” She took a deep breath. “We got Apple Cobbler, Apple Strudel, Carmel Apples, Apple Pie, Apple Cider, Apple Salad, Cousin Braeburn Apples, Apple Juice, Ant & Uncle Orange, along with Squeezed Oranges, Orange Crush, and mah side of the family: little Applebloom, Big Macintosh, and finally, Granny Smith.”

It was then that Twilight presents a tray cart with stacks of pancakes and waffles with whipped cream and different types of berries while Rainbow Dash has cooked up hamburgers and fries on the side while Rarity had made ice cream sundaes and even a large special banana split for dessert while Fluttershy has plates of assorted cookies, bisquits and even sandwiches that are perfect for tea reminding her of what she and Discord used to do back in Equestria.

"WOW!! ALL OF THESE ARE SOO GOOD!! YUMMY!!!" Luffy goes crazy as he starts to eat up and devour all of the food presented in front of him.

"HEY!! WHAT ABOUT US?!!" All of Luffy's friends including Twilight and the others angrily roared at Luffy in a comedic manner. "Hehehe oops? I guess you all wanted some too."

"GEEZ LUFFY!! YOU THINK?!!"

Luffy smiled at the banter of his new friends were having about him before asking something."So, what happened to those guys anyways?"

"They left thanks to you." Sanji exclaimed with another puff of his cigarette as he proceeds to tell Luffy what happened after he fell unconsious.

"Krieg lost...? As if that could ever happen... He's the supreme commander of the seas..." Gin exclaimed with a tired sigh.

"Say all you want but take a look for yourself!!" Patty exclaimed as he pointed to the scenario that just happened.

"His prized armor is in pieces!!" Carne added.

"He's the only man... I ever admired...!! Believed he was the strongest...!!!" Gin coughs a bit as he was about to stand up.

"Hey you!! Don't move or the poison will...!!" Patty freaks out as the man tries to stop Gin. "What was it again? Does it spread if you move?" Carne exclaimed as a worried look spread throughout his face.

"How'd I know?! But in any case moving your body right now can't be a good thing!!" You need to lie down and rest!!" Patty shot back.

"Hey. Don't you die on me now." Sanji said as he carries the unconsious Luffy into his arms. "All of them..." Sanji thought as he reminisnced about Zoro and Luffy's words about everything that just happened.

"Awww don't worry Gin. Look at the positive side! Now surely you would realize things weren't so great and you can start over!" Gabby said trying to cheer him up as the other Krieg Pirates looks surprised over at one of own men about to face them.

"G... Gin...?"

"Out..."

They looked confused at him. "What...?"

"I say get out..."

Now they seem even more confused. "But..."

In an instant Gin was choking one of the Krieg Pirates by the throat. "I SAID GET OUT OF HERE!!"

"AND TAKE DON KRIEG WITH YOU!!" Gin yelled out as he throws the unconsious body of Don Krieg over to the remaining pirates and released the one he has in a choke hold who started coughing out as Gin looks over to one of the nearby chefs.

"Get them all something they can get it. I don't care what it is as long as they get to leave this place." The rest of the Krieg Pirates took the unconsious Krieg and disappears from Gin's sight on the tiny boat where they all barely fitted provided by the Baratie.

"Woohoo!! Good job Gin!! I knew you would realize that meanie was up to no good!!" Pinkie said.

"Yeah!! Screw that guy!!" Spike added.

"Totally!! He was..."

"SHUT THE HELL OFF!!" Gin yells out quickly silencing Rainbow as everyone pauses to look at him. "Don't badmouth the Don." Gin said more calmly this time.

"What...? But you were just...? What he... What...?" Spike was totally confused now.

"Do not mistake it for a second.. Nothing will erase my loyalty... But I realized something... "Gin said with a sad smile upon remembering what he just saw. A bloody beaten Krieg screaming and swearing about murdering everyone even when his wounds still gushes. He held unto his ange and to his fire through all and his every tactic and weapon was directly outpowered. He didn't give up nor he lost his mind.

"If there was something only one thing he was right of is that I am no longer of any use to him. All these years... The things I've done... All of the attrocities I've commited... Without emotion or regret... I truly thought I transformed myself into a demon beyond return... But you guys... Your kindness... It showed me that somehow... My human heart had endured all this time. That's why I could no longer be on the Don's side. After this I no longer see it ever being the same. If someone else is ever this kind to me again... I just couldn't...!!"

Gin started crying and Fluttershy was the first to be right there beside him. "For this... We must now follow different paths.. I hold no doubt that one way or another Krieg will keep striving even if now its just for the sake of his vengeance... But I quit piracy... I can longer be the demon that he wants me to be and I will never follow another captain again." Gin finally says leaving everyone speechless. "But there is one thing I would have wanted to do Sanji... Do you think that I could be a chef at this place as well...? If I'm going to live a new life then I wanted to start by expressing myself to other people through food...."

Sanji for his part just sighs and puffs out another smoke from his cigarette. "Fine by me. I'll talk to the Geezer about it. If you want to cook then you better learn to do it right and do other things in the meantime though.

"Sounds fair." Gin agreed.

Much to their shock however there was a splash on the water and another guy with dreadlocks from the Krieg Pirates emerges from the waters with his pistols on hand. "W... What the hell?!! What do you want?!! Didn't I already told you to get out?!!"

"Yeah and what about it huh?!! Do you wanna come back for another beating and fight us?!!" Rainbow Dash demanded as she takes a fighting stance and cracked her hooves. "Rainbow please..." Fluttershy exclaimed persuading Rainbow on not fighting any further.

"Wait!! Wait!! Please!! I surrender!! I surrender right away!! Besides I left the Krieg Pirates already and got away!!" The pirate pleaded as he gets down on his hands and knees begging. "I knew that if I kept joining them then I would just waste my life and worse things going to get in my way as part of them!! I'll find work and live a good life!! I promise!!"

"And why should we huh...? After all you've done do you think we..." Applejack exclaimed but she was interupted by Sanji with blew a puff of his cigarette.

"Yeah... Yeah... You wanna be cook here as well and serve as an errand boy... Go right ahead..." Sanji exclaimed as he walks away with a wave of his hand.

"But Sanji...? You can't be serious right? He was a pirate from the Don Krieg ship!!" Rainbow exclaimed still protesting the guy's decision.

"Rainbow Dash!!" Fluttershy called her friend out with a frown as he helps the man get up to his knees.

"Hey what can I say? I'm cool with this. If you messed at cooking and give it another chance then why not try again at giving somebody another chance. If you make mistes in cooking then so do other people in other aspects of life. We are all learning after all. Its about the passion and the heart." Sanji replied with a smirk.

"Fine... But I'll be keeping an eye on him..." Rainbow said as she crosses her arms with a huff. "Give it time Rainbow. Give it time." Fluttershy said with a meek smile as she tried to calm down her friend.

"Welcome aboard the Baratie then. What's your name?" Gin asks as he pats the back of the lone pirate as the guy gets up.

"My name is Panzer... A former double handed pistol sharpshooter of the Krieg Pirates... Its nice to meet you.. You know with the lack of actual personal talk in the Krieg Pirates, We never really got to know each other that well Gin..." Panzer exclaimed with a sigh of relief as Gin shakes his hand.

"Well then I'm sure that your going to learn about who your going to be working with very soon. You'll have a great time I'll assure you of that." Sanji said as he pats the new guy on the back as they walk back inside the restaurant. "And maybe one day you two will be half as good as me... Even when it comes to getting the attention of a lady as well..."

"Woah... Really Sanji...?! Your serious about that...?" Gin and Panzer exclaimed out loud to their new friend.

"Yeah... Yeah... Sure... After you two take a bath and get some new clothes first hahaha!!"

"Yeah do we really think that bad Sanji?!!"

"Hahahaha!! You two reek and your disgusting!!"

"So yeah. That's pretty much it." Sanji exclaimed as he finishes getting Luffy up to speed on what happened.

"Cool!! I guess Gin is gonna be the new errand boy!! Oh that's right!! I no longer have to be one because I made that promise with the old man!!"

"Which means we can go right back to having our adventures again!!" Rainbow celebrated as she pumps her hooves up in the air.

"Right. Congrats." Sanji said with a puff of his cigarette.

"So then you wanna..." Luffy asks excitedly and approaches Sanji but the man quickly cuts him off. "I ain't gonna be a pirate. If you guys need a cook that bad then you can take bird brain over there..."

"Fuck you." Gilda answers with a pout and huffs.

"With you. She learned surprisingly fast from the little time she's been here and she will make decent stuff. Me? I'm gonna stay here and be a cook until the day that damn geezer recognizes my food." Sanji said with a smile.

"Fine. I give up." Luffy frowned upon hearing Sanji's words as he starts walking back to his bed but the rubber man's hand however stand firm and grasps to the collar of Sanji's suit. "But your hand hasn't given up!!" Sanji angrily blurted out as he to get Luffy's hand off his suit and everyone laughs at the shenanigans that happened.

Eventually Luffy lets go of Sanji's suit and he walks back towards Sanji sitting beside him. "After something like that happened I can't afford to leave this restaurant anymore. The cooks here are completely undependable." Sanji explained.

"Mhm... Would you reconsider your decision if we made the restaurant even safer?" Twilight asks as Sanji actually thought about for a moment but he just shakes his head to the side. "I mean... Well you know... It would definitely help but still..."

"Yo Luffy!! Correct me if I'm wrong but I remember you mentioned back then that you Grandpa is a hero no? Kinda their hero as you put it in." Spike exclaimed making quotation marks.

"Shoot!! Your right!! We can ask him for help!!" Rainbow said excitedly.

Contrary to what his friends were thinking though Luffy just stuck out his tounge. "I don't like asking Grandpa for stuff!! I'm a pirate and he's a marine!! How will I be a good pirate if I ask for his help?"

"Well technically he wouldn't help you on your journey or anything. Your just casually telling him about a place that could use some protection. So what does it matter who told him about it? At the end of the day he would decide on his own what to do." Rarity explained with a coy smile and that actually got Luffy to ponder about what Rarity meant.

"Hmm... But still..." Luffy went on.

"Hey cut it. Even if the place was safe I still have other reasons to stay." Sanji interrupted them. "Although someday I would like to go out into the Grand Line."

"Then lets go right now!!" Luffy excitedly calls him out.

"Not just yet though." Sanji flatly said.

Then an idea seemed to hit him as he turns towards everyone with a smile. "Hey... Have any of you heard about the All Blue?" Sanji asks with a smile on his face.

"Ooh yeah!! Tell them Sanji!! You guys have to hear it!!" Gabby said excitedly.

"Ah the story with all of the fishes. This gotta be the tenth time I heard this guy talk about it so far..." Gilda sighs in a manner that was understandly less excited but a small smile still graced through her beak. "I do admit, Its a pretty cool one..." Now that everyone was curious about the All Blue Sanji excitedly tells them everything that he knew.

As the cook talked and talk and everyone got interested Chef Zeff observes them from up above with a smile forming on his face. "Talking with such a stupidly wide grin on your face... Idiot..." Zeff said looking fondly at Sanji all the while.

Time has passed by for it was now meal time...

On their way down though after Sanji had talk to Twilight and her friends about his dream of the All Blue. Patty and Carne then appeared before Twilight and her friends motioning for them to follow. With confusion on their minds everyone followed them to the kitchen where all of the Baratie chefs were including Chef Zeff as the only one missing among them is Sanji. After Fluttershy enters the kitchen Patty and Carne goes outside and stands guard outside just by the door.

"Greetings. I'm sure your all wondering why you were called here." Zeff said looking at them. "I'm not beating around the bush. We all want Sanji to go with you." Zeff explained. "We didn't bring that chore boy here because he would most likely mess things up and your crewmate inside the chest is already aware. We are talking to you 10 minutes before its time to eat so there's no misunderstanding."

Twilight thought about Chef Zeff's words for a moment before answering. "Wait first of all why do you want Sanji to come with us?"

At the mention of those words Zeff has a fond smile on his face. "Heh. That little shit will never admit it out loud but its plain as day obvious that he enjoys the company of you all and truly wants to sail with you but he still binds himself to this place in a stubborn manner so we plan to encourage him to leave."

Twilight nodded in response. "Alright then... So what are yo all planning to do..?"

"We are gonna insult him!!" One of the chefs of the Baratie exclaimed making the alicorn princess do a double take think she hadn't heard right from what the guy said.

"What...?" Twilight tried to say.

"We are gonna say his soup sucks ass!!" Another one of the cooks said out loud. "Oh but don't get it wrong!! His food is only second to the head chef Zeff himself!! So freaking good!!"

"But..." Twilight tried to interrupt once again.

"Its gonna be tough acting as if it was bad though.... But we are fine with him hating us for it."

"Yeah!! Kid is being called by the sea so its obvious!! As former pirates we can't stand him not responding the call!!"

"And not only that!! You all saw how crazy strong he is while being so young!! Here on these waters he's not finding stuff worth that potency!! He needs to go to the Grand Line!! The guys over there is gonna tough him up for real!!"

And so all of the chefs of the Baratie kept praising Sanji and talking about how they are gonna make him leave. Looking at everyone else Twilight sets her Zeff who looks back waiting for her answer. Zeff chuckles a bit before his face turns serious and pulls out a pistol blasting the ceiling 2 times and immediately all of the cooks shut up as the wood and plaster chips rain down much to the shock of the other ponies and creatures even making Fluttershy scared a bit.

Twilight gave Zeff a grateful smile before she starts talking once more. "That's fine and all but... Haven't you all considered just... Being honest with him?" Twilight said and just like that all of the chefs of Baratie started to look particularly uneasy all of a sudden. "Well uhh... Ya see cuz... Its not like we... Ahhh..." Everyone seems quite interested by their looks on the ceiling or the wall or the floor. No one was looking at Twilight.

Gilda huffs. "Don't you see? That sounds lame!! Being all buddy buddy and talking about feelings..." And just like that Gilda suddenly seems to get bashful all of a sudden.

However the griffon quickly shook her head. "A... Anyways I think that their idea isn't that bad..."

But Applejack just shakes her head with a sigh before looking at everyone. "Lying never makes things better... Ya'll should just say to him how ya really feel..."

Twilight then nods. "Talking is how everyone understands each other. I'm sure that Sanji will understand if you talk to him." Twilight said however the chefs of the Baratie still weren't that convinced and seeing all this Zeff just sighs. "This is going nowhere... Meal time is soon... We better start preparing the tables and everything."

"Yes Head Chef Zeff!!" The chefs of the Baratie all diligently took their places and a bit too eager to start moving around as Twilight takes a look at the entire scenery with a frown and groans.

"Hey no biggie Twi!! I'm sure that it will all work out!!" Spike said trying to cheer up Twilight. "Ughh... I guess... Your right... Come on..."

"Maybe we can find Sanji instead..." Twilight whispered to Spike as they both leave the kitchen with Gabby and Gilda staying behind to help the chefs of Baratie.

What wasn't known to all of them however is that just outside the kitchen two figures were listening to the entire conversation behind one of the kitchen's windows.

"Well why I didn't like to lie about keeping it all a secret, I think that in the end it was good that I showed ya this don't you think so kid? Bwahahaha!!" Gaimon the Straw Hat's Spy and Scout laughs while his pandabat companion Peebee eats a piece of strawberry from his hand.

Sanji however couldn't answer the scrub brush guy for he just sits there trying to hide his tears with his forearm.

"Idiots... I can hear you..." Sanji quitely cried out as the cook quietly sobs beside Gaimon and Peebee.

After a while Sanji tries to recompose himself and looks out to the sea. "Hmm...?" Sanji hummed as he noticed something in the distance. "What the...?"

"Ehh...? Something's the matter...?" Gaimon wonders as he looks out to the direction where Sanji was looking.

"Chirp!!!" Peebee being alarmed and quickly thinking the animal quickly grabs Gaimon and quicky flies away with him in tow for something was approaching their direction at a great speed. The identified being leapt into the air being crashing down right on Sanji.

"Aghhh!!! Sanji!! What is this guy? A mermaid?!" The Baratie Chefs talked amongst themselves. 'Did he come all the way from Fishman Island to try our cooking? You idiot!! This is just a guy in a pandashark!!"

"Yosaku!!" Luffy quickly blurted out.

"Ahh Brother Luffy!!" Yosaku cried out with a sigh of relief upon seeing the straw hat kid.

"What are you doing here all alone? Where are the others? And what about Nami?" Luffy asks.

Everyone were just about to organize the tables to eat before Yosaku crashed with the pandashark. Twilight and her friends were surprised to see him along with Spike, Gilda and Gabby as well when they came from the kitchen where they were helping around to see what the commotion was.

"Alright then lets help you out big guy." One of the chefs of the Baratie gives Yosaku a towel to dry up and a chair for him to sit down.

"Ahh what about this pandashark though?" One of the cooks asks out before another one of his buddies had a suggestion. "What if we chop this baby up? This type of stuff would be great for sushi!!"

"Yeah and even shark fin soup special!!" Another one of the Baratie cooks suggested much to the shock of Fluttershy who quickly gets in front of the defenseless marine animal.

"I said no!! He's a living breathing sea creature and while I'm here, no one here is going to cook up someone like him!!" Fluttershy exclaimed as the butter yellow pegasus marches over to the Baratie Chefs confrontation in her eyes.

"Hahaha okay!! Yeah right!!" Some of the cooks of the Baratie exclaimed laughing it off.

"Oh yeah...? What are you going to do about it lady pony...?" Another one of the Baratie Chefs asks her with a sneer.

"I said he goes back into the ocean!! NOW!!!"

"Ahh!! Okay!! Okay!! We'll help him get back to the ocean!! Just stop doing that please!! Please!! We'll do what you say!! Promise!!

"Yeah... That's what I thought..." Fluttershy exclaimed strictly watching the chefs of the Baratie helping the Pandashark back into the ocean.

"Damn!! I don't wanna mess with her!! She has that type of power!! We didnt know!!"

"You mean the one they called Conqueror's Haki?!!"

Fluttershy's the stare in its advanced state is a rumbling sound that others claim to hear when Fluttershy readies for battle or when she is generally serious. The sound has a formidable impact on his opponent's psyche. In reality, it is simply the sound of her enemy's heart beating rapidly and loudly from fear, anxiety, or other uneasiness. Because of Fluttershy's intimidating visage and reputation, it is mistaken for bloodlust. It is even rumored to others that Fluttershy's stare is so powerful that it can shake the earth.

"We couldn't catch up with Sister Nami but judging from the way she was headed we're pretty sure we know where she's headed." Yosaku explained.

"Oh good. Lets go and bring her back." Luffy replied.

"Well umm... If she's headed to where we think she's headed to then its an incredibly dangerous place!! Well I'll fill you in on the details later! In any case we need your strenght bro!! Please come right away!!" Yosaku pleaded.

"Ok! I don't know what's going on but fine! Lets go!" Luffy answered with a nod.

"Hmph!! I don't know if we really still should look for he..." Applejack said being a bit bitter because at this point Nami had already betrayed their trust multiple times.

"She still burned her hands to save Luffy that one time." Pinkie Pie exclaimed.

Luffy nodded. "I have decided it Applejack!! Nami is our navigator!!"

Applejack turned to her friends and wondering what they thought. There were still some doubts around them but it was crystal clear to see that they were still going to follow Luffy.

"I know where your coming from Applejack. Nami had betrayed our trust before yes. Still she also helped us out even when she didn't need to.... And there's something about her that seems off..." Twilight told her.

"Ahh sp you've also noticed?" Gilda said curiously. "I've seen it before... That girl was puttin on a tough act most of the time. She has slips up every now and then though."

Yosaku shakes his head. "Regardless this isn't just about Sis Nami! Zoro, Ussop and Johnny could me on a tight spot right now!!"

Applejack sighs. "Alright.. Alright.. True.. We still gotta help our friends."

"Wait." A voice sounded picking the interest of Luffy.

"I'll go with you too. Take me with you." Sanji said with a puff of his cigarette as he leans by the wall.

"What?!!" Patty questioned.

"Sanji..." Carne blurted out.

"I'll accompany you on this Road to Pirate King... After all... We both have crazy dreams... So I'll tag along to fullfill mine..."

"Really now? And here I was just about to take you up on your offer up there earlier." Gilda said surprising Twilight and her friends especially Rainbow Dash.

"Wait Gilda. Do you really mean...?" Rainbow asks wondering about Gilda's decision.

Gilda just chuckled and nodded. "Yeah. I'll tag along with ya from now on. Learning and expanding my recipes and menus was fine and all but I would've soon left to look for a way back to Griffonstone for me and Gabs anyways. Plus if anyone would figure out such a way then its gotta be nerdy princess over there." The griffon said pointing at Twilight.

"Did she really have to say it like that...?" Twilight thought in her head and starts to get a big annoyed before brushing it off.

"That said..." Gilda suddenly became very serious and glared at Luffy straight in the eyes."You pull up some weird stuff like that back there when we met one more time then your dead meat stretchy!! Capeesh?!!" Gilda said with a sharp claw pointing at Luffy in a accusing manner.

"Yeah... Sorry... Sorry..." Luffy said as he actually bowed down his head in apology to the griffon.

"Hmmph... Good..." Gilda rolled her eyes and smirks.

Sanji did his best with resistance not to immediately jump at Luffy and attack the rubber kid at the mention of him doing something to Gilda when they first met. Sanji only held back because Luffy had apologized and Gilda accepted his words. Taking a prologned drag of his cigarette starts to talk. "Hmmm... Alright... Since I have more experience then I'll be the head chef.

Gilda rolled her eyes. "Sure.... Sanji... Tartarus no.... We will both only be chefs you ass!!" Sanji just snickers at the mention of those words. "Heh... It was worth the try.... So we will both be the cooks for your ship. Sounds good or bad?"

"Sounds great!! Woohoo!!" Luffy yells excitedly at the mention of getting two more nakamas as Spike, Twilight and all of her friends celebrated with him.

Outside by the boat...

"Woah nice boat!! Can we really use this?" Yosaku asks out.

"Of course its Sanji's after all." One of the chefs of the Baratie replied.

"Alright!! This may not be the Going Merry but it still rocks!!" Spike said.

"Hmmm... Good enough indeed Spikey!" Rarity agreed.

"Definitely beats by a landslide the first boat that we've ever had!!" Rainbow exclaimed.

"It shall suffice with our crew for the moment. Lets get everything in order!!" Gaimon ordered as his pandabat Peebee flies him up.

Spike, Rarity, Fluttershy, Moondancer, Minuette, Twinkleshine, Lemon Hearts and Rainbow were with Yosaku and Gaimon inspecting and preparing the ship.

In the Baratie Kitchen...

"You wanna take more?!" A chef of the Baratie asks Luffy as he puts more pork and beef into Luffy's sack.

"Yup. Gimme more meat." Luffy exclaimed as he opens up another sack.

"Just how many days are you gonna be sailing for?" The chef asks.

"Dunno."

"Thanks again for the supplies. We are deeply grateful for it. If its not much could you all include a good amount of vegetables on the bags too? Thanks! I promise to send proper payment your way as soon as I manage to make it back to Equestria." Twilight asks the Baratie chefs and thanking them in the process.

"Oh! And we need some flour! And sugar! And..." Meanwhile Pinkie kept refilling her baking supplies althought the pink party mare was making sure she wasn't taking way too much from the chefs ot the Baratie.

"Meh. Don't worry about it too much. We do get lucky when dumb pirates come here on their ships and attack us and we end up helping ourselves to their berries." One of the Baratie chefs reassured them.

"Is that so? Then I guess I'll just help myself to with some of your apples!" Applejack said as she took a lot of apples and puts them inside a sack.

"Thank you all very much" Fluttershy said as she bows down her head as everyone was occupied in helping carry everything they need on the ship.

"Hey!! You guys didn't get to eat before right? Take the soup! We left enough so that you can all have a good fill!" Another one of the Baratie Chefs exclaimed.

"Thank you all very much!!" Twilight said as she levitates the large pot of soup with her magic.

"I... I'm so sorry that happened Sanji... Chef Zeff might have been a violent pirate in the past but he saved your life... You've been through so much at that young age..." Gilda exclaimed as she sat down beside Sanji as he talks about his past to the griffon.

"Yeah... He saved my life by having to eat his own leg and he gave me all of the food on that godforsaken rock... That's why from that day on I made a vow that I'm not handing over this restaurant to a pirate that tries to take over this place... And I won't let anyone kill that damn geezer either... He's a geezer who gave up everything for the sake of one little brat..."

"So that's why you felt like you would rather die than give up an inch of ground in this restaurant to those invading pirate...?" Gilda asks the cook once again with a frown.

"Yeah..." Sanji answered as he takes a puff out of his cigarette. "If I can't even put my life at risk to save him and his dream then it would feel like I could never repay my debt to him.

"But you have to live on Sanji... You've got to.." Gilda said as she scoots closer to Sanji and puts a wing over his shoulder showing that she cares. "He risked his life to save yours so that you could have a future.. Now you gotta live your life for him.. A place can be rebuilt.. Lives cannot.. I'm sure that's what Zeff would have wanted for you to do as well.."

"Thanks Gilda. You look like a tough girl from the outside but you do have a heart." Sanji replied with a smile as he looks to her.

"Ah shut up.." Gilda chuckles as she playfully punches Sanji on the shoulder. "I'm just saying what that Straw Hat Kid would have said as well. You know he might not be the brightest bulb on the ceiling but boy impresses me when it comes to fighting. Kid's got a lot of stuff."

"Yeah. I'm glad that you noticed hahaha!! That kid can be an idiot at times!! I mean have you seen him in the kitchen?" Sanji laughs at the mention of Luffy's shenanigans and it brings laughter to the griffon as well.

"Hahaha yeah..." Gilda laughs more she calms down and wipes a tear from her eyes. "Hey Sanji..? I didn't know that you've had it rough ever since you were a kid.. And I thought growing up in the poverty stricken place of Griffonstone would tell me I grew up hard and I was capable of being hard.. That I was the biggest baddest girl that goes around to bully everyone thinking that I'm the best.. I'm really sorry if I've been picking on you Sanji... I was a real jerk..." The griffon said as she starts to cry her face burried in her claws.

"Hey... Hey now... Don't cry... Your a tough girl alright...? I wouldn't stand seeing a lady cry.." Sanji said as he gently pats Gilda on the head before wiping off her tears with a handkerchief. "Your a good friend Gilda. That's all I have to say." Sanji says with a warm smile on his face. "From what you've told me about your friends before then it just shows that you can be better. We humans have the ability to change ourselves and grow but I could learn more from you and your friends from Equestria. You have tried to learn how to cook more stuff in the kitchen and you've always bounced back Gilda. Now its time we learn something from you and your friends. That your precense may bring the light and color to this dark and terrifying world. Showing that the world isn't so black and white in its morality. That we can all grow and be better."

As Sanji was there to comfort Gilda, Gabby Griffon was watching them by the door and she couldn't help but to cry more and more as her tears fell to the floor. Gilda has been really happy for once and there is Sanji showing her to smile and comfort her like a loving sibling or brother would. That even though she and Gilda haven't been here for less than a week they have already been treated here like family by the others especially Sanji despite the constant banter and teasing.

"Hah!! Your the one to talk!! When I first came here, I thought this place was pretty fun since the tough cooks here remind me of Griffonstone. With all their stories here of being former pirates and seeing the action here was pretty fun!! Hahaha." Gilda exclaimed with bravado just to being sound sappy as Rainbow would put it.

Seeing the expression on her face Sanji once again takes a puff out of his cigarette. "Huh? Aren't you a bit fresh to get nostalgic about this place?"

Gilda then looks to the side and chuckled for a bit. She didn't turn towards him but stood still much to the curious look of Gabby watching by as the griffon answered Sanji with a tone of voice that hardly anyone had ever heard her talk. It was quiet. "You know... It was pretty much coincidence..." Gilda said as she turns back to look at Sanji. "That I got this... Thing for cooking... It was just something for packing back then and even that required the help of someone like Dash and Pinkie to set me on that.. But... I don't know... Whenever someone back home honestly complimented me and believe me that's a much greater feat than it sounds... What I bake... It just feels..."

"Sanji...?" Sanji asks with a smile on his face.

"I mean yeah... But no...? It was like something was missing but I didn't know what... But then I arrived at this place and... I got it... But then I arrived at this place and... I got it... It wasn't just baking... I actually enjoyed it all! Fish, meat, fruits, vegetables and when customers also praised the food... My food... It was more than like anything else I felt... I mean..." GIlda in all her excitement couldn't kept herself in check while Gabby and even Twilight and her friends was by the door also kept tearing up and crying tears of joy upon seeing Gilda for the first time being this happy while Sanji has a coy smile on his face.

Seeing the expression on Sanji's face has Gilda get a bit annoyed as she looks to the side and fake coughs. "P... Point is that I gotta thank the old man Zeff and his bunch of stooges for discovering that! Well... And also you of course... So yeah... I'm really gonna miss this place..."

Sanji decides to cut Gilda some slack and gives her a sincere smile gently patting Gilda on the head. "Good for you. Lets keep creating delicious dishes together alright?" Gilda smiles as well and gives Sanji an enthusiastic nod. "You got it heh!!" The griffon answered with a wink having stars and sparkles in her eyes.

Gilda is the first one to come out flying towards the boat and on the way she stops by her fellow griffon Gabby and the former pirate Gin who is now wearing a white chef jacket with an apron and instead of his tonfas the man is now holding unto a wooden broom.

"Hmmm... The look suits you chore boy..." Gilda says with a snicker and Gin merely just rolled his eyes in response.

"Hey!! Who's that?! I've never seen him before!!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed as she points a hoof to another man with white dreadlocks wearing a chef jacket. "Yo. My name is Panzer and I'm also a former member of the Krieg Pirates." The guy salutes with a grin.

"What?! You've let someone like that join the chefs of the Baratie?!" Rainbow demanded as she crossed her hooves over her chest.

"Him?! He's from the Krieg Pirates?!" The rest of Twilight's friends went on high alert but then Sanji arrives to ease the situation.

"Hey chill guys. I'll take care of it so its all good." Sanji exclaimed with a smile as Twilight and her friends breathe a sigh of relief. "Besides I recommended him to the old man and he said yes."

"But... He was one of the men responsible for the attack of the Baratie!!" Rainbow exclaimed making Panzer freak out a bit.

"So was Gin and now he is helping to fix the place up and cook good food. Everyone deserves a second chance Rainbow." Twilight reminded her rainbow maned friend with a smile.

"Well... I guess its all good... As long as he behaves himself from now on..." Rainbow rolled her eyes with a smile.

"Don't worry about it... I'll keep an eye on them... I won't arrest Gin and Panzer but they are on strictly parole under our watch." Fullbody explains with a sigh.

"I'm okay with it." Gin answered.

"Fair enough." Panzer added.

"Heh.. Don't get stressed out too much Darling.. I'll be right here by your side all the way.." Moodie answered as she flirts with her fiance Fullbody giving him a peck on the cheek. "Besides aren't we going to have our wedding here in Baratie?"

"Well I guess things won't be so bad after all as long your there to bring out what's good on me." Fullbody grins before he wraps his arms around Moodie and kisses the woman back on her hair as everyone else is cheering on and fawning on the love between these two especially the marines.

Gilda then looks over to Gabby as her gaze on the griffon starts to turn a bit softer. "Are you sure you wanna stay Gabs?"

"Of course! Don't get me wrong I would love to come with all of you but well pirate life seems a teensy bit too dangerous." Gabby said with a nervous laugh.

"Yeah tell me about it. Better disband that pirate crew now things get way too out of hand." Fullbody answered with a cheeky smirk making everyone else roll their eyes and sigh at the sight of the marine officer interrupting such a touching moment.

"Plus I want to keep helping Zeff around! Now that the Baratie is loosing both of its star chefs. They're gonna need it more than ever." Gabby said with a warm smile as Gilda blushes bright red through her feathers at the mention of those words. "Ugh... Come on Gabs... I'm not that good just yet..."

"Besides now that we feel like the world is starting to get bigger around us. I just think that it would do better for one more place to have a piece of Equestria around it right? That way this dark and dreary world can be a bit more colorful and happy through ponies and even creatures like us to spread the friendship we learned in our lives." Gabby explained as Gilda just nodded with a teary eyed smile to her face.

"Promise me to be careful out there.... And send letters! Spike can help you with that." Gabby said pointing to the helpful dragon who gave a salute in response. "Of course!! You got it Mam!!" Gilda nods as she joins the rest of the Twilight and her friends by the boat.

Everyone then waited for Sanji to come out as Luffy, Twilight and her friends, The chefs of the Baratie and even the marines who stuck around for a proper goodbye. Even the Lord of the Coast that had befriended Fluttershy. The mentioned sea king has now made the Baratie its new usual spot offering protection in exchange for being fed the leftovers everyday.

"Uhm Luffy? What are you doing?" Twilight curiously asks as she sees Luffy prop up a sign at the Baratie saying that its under the protection of Vice Admiral Garp.

"I don't understand Luffy. I thought that you didn't want a pirate like you to be helped out by his grandfather?" A confused Rainbow asks.

"Shishishishi! I know that. I just wanted Grandpa to taste the food in this place as well if he ever stops by. And I know he will stop at nothing to protect it once he finds out." Luffy answered with a bright smile and that touched the hearts of Twilight and his friends even the marines around them as well as Fullbody since Garp is one of the officers he looks up to.

Fullbody and his fiance Moodie then way their way to Luffy and his friends. "So... Umm... You have our thanks for taking down the infamous Don Krieg and... For saving my fiance... For all of that we will let you all go for this one time..." Marine Lieutenant Double Ironfist Fullbody says as he shakes Luffy's hands with the marine's face going red feeling a bit embarrassed "Geez... To think that the day would come where I would come to thank a pirate of all things..." Fullbody thought to himself.

"Yeah. No problem." Luffy nonchalantly responded as he shakes hands with the marine Fullbody.

"I'll hope you don't try to directly fight him Darling... Remember that he saved me..." Moodie said as she wraps her arms around Fullbody and kisses him in the cheek.

"I'll try to do my best..." Fullbody said to his fiance blushing a bit.

Later on steps were heard as Sanji walks out of the entrance of Baratie and everyone else of the Baratie staff look at him with neutrality shown in their faces trying to hide their emotions. "Brother Cook sure is running late and... Wait!! Ah he's here!!" Yosaku exclaimed.

"This is payback for all those years!!" Patty screams out as he was about to slam Sanji's head with the giant spoon.

"Die Sanji!!" Carne yells as he tries to bash Sanji's head with his giant spoon from the other side.

"GYAHHH!!! AHHHHH!!!" Patty and Carne yelled out in pain as Sanji spins on the ground with his hands round and round knocking Patty and Carne with a kicks to their faces knocking a tooth out of them and spitting blood on the floor as everyone else winces back from watching their shenanigans especially Twilight and her friends.

"Ooh... That's gotta leave a mark..." Gabby exclaimed.

Gilda just facepalmed with a claw upon watching all of that happen. "These two... I swear..." Gilda quietly murmurs.

"Lets go." Sanji exclaimed as he gets into the boat with everyone else looking on.

"Just like that? What about saying goodbye?" Luffy asks crossing his arms over his chest.

"Its fine." Sanji answered with a smile as he got into the boat.

With having moved by such a heartfelt farewell Twilight and her friends were all shedding tears as well even Gilda as the griffon was trying very hard to hide her face and fervently deny any and all accusations of her crying. The marines as well and even the Sea King Lord of the Coast by the sheer emotion on Sanji's face.

"I'LL MISS YOU!! YOUR MAKING US CRY DAMN IT!!!" Everyone in the Baratie couldn't help but cry their tears out even Gin and the new chef ex pirate Panzer couldn't help it but get emotional as well as his tears started to splatter to the ground with the rest of them.

"AHHH!! DAMN IT!!" Gilda shouted before she quickly turns around and approaches the edge of the boat. "I'LL MISS YOU TOO KNUCKLEHEADS!! THANK YOU ALL FOR TEACHING ME HOW TO COOK!!" At the mention of those words it just made everyone else cry out even more.

"AHHHH!! GILDA!!!"

"WE WILL MISS YOU TOO FEATHERBRAIN!!"

"Sanji!! Keep teaching her for us!!" The chefs at the Baratie all cried out.

"Bye Gabby!!!" ~Apple Bloom

"See you later Gabby!!!" ~Sweetie Belle

"Lets all see each other back in Equestria!!!" ~ Gabriella Gabby Griffon

"Don't worry Gabby!! We'll keep writing to you!! I promise!! Always!! All our friendships will never die!! ~Scootaloo

"Spread the magic of friendship guys!! All the way to the ends of the world!!" Gabby cries out as she waves goodbye wiping the tears bursting from her eyes.

"Ahh... The act of farewells... The said goodbyes..." Gaimon exclaimed as he turns to sit on the corner of the water transport. "No matter the years pass by ..." The scrub brush man pauses a bit and blows his nose on a tissue provided by Pinkie Pie. "They truly never get easier!!"

"Chirp!! Chirp!!" Peebee the pandabat cries out beside him as Gaimon took a clean tissue for Peebee to blow her own nose.

After Sanji the sorely needed sea cook from the Baratie joins the crew they now set sail once more. The weather is nice and clear. The alicorn known as Princess Twilight Sparkle is flying high in the sky with Spike, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Gilda and Gaimon that is being carried by the pandabat Peebee. Meanwhile the space in the boat was cleared for Monkey D. Luffy, Sanji, Yosaku, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Minuette, Lemon Hearts, Twinkleshine and Moondancer so the boat was quite a crowded one.

"Marry Me!!" Rarity moaned as she and the rest of Twilight's friends bit into a kebab.

Sanji rolled his eyes with a smile. "Okay at first that was funny but that's the six time that you ponies and creatures praised me today! Are you all that drunk or do I give off that vibe? Because I can tell you right now that my feelings on that are platonic." Sanji answered with a laugh.

"Chillax bro. Its just that your an awesome cook and the way to a woman's heart is through her stomach." Rainbow exclaimed pulling her new best friend with a spin dance.

It was almost noon but the party about Luffy's victory over Don Krieg was still going strong. Everyone was all huddled now as the food and drink were flowing freely especially the large pot of Sanji's special soup which he pours a bowl for the crew as well as the mugs of beer that was paired with it except for the Cutie Mark Crusaders and Spike who were drinking glasses of juice.

"A toast!! To Straw Hat Luffy and all of us who defeated Don Krieg and his crew proving we are strong!!" Rainbow shouted from the skies. "Kanpai!!" Everyone cheered back before taking a big gulp with their drinks.

"So Yosaku where is the place Nami is heading?" Twilight asks as she finishes a bowl of Sanji's soup and drinking a mug of beer before refilling her bowl with another batch of soup.

Yosaku cringes his hands slightly. "She is going where Saw Tooth Arlong is..." Yosaku said with a grim look sketched unto his face. Everyone else was silent before Luffy asks. "Who the hell is he?" Yosaku fell anime style before he stood back up. "What?! You never heard of Saw Tooth Arlong?!" Yosaku asks being in total shock while Sanji blew smoke from his cigarette.

"No. Do we need to know who he is?" Sanji asks in a slightly bored tone as Yosaku crossed his arms.

"Arlong?!" Gaimon exclaimed looking as tensed for a moment there. "Even Don Krieg would know better than to mess with those types of guys."

"Well yes!! Yes you do!! He's a fishman who in the past has destroyed anything in his path." Yosaku said as Sanji raised his eyebrow.

"This girl is more trouble than she is worth." Applejack said while massaging her forehead in frustration with her right hoof. "I mean if she wants to kill Arlong for his bounty why didn't she just say so and all of us would've helped her. Is she that greedy that she wants it all for herself?" Applejack asks everyone else causing them to just look down silently to reflect on things. "Something about her behavior just doesn't add up.

"Fishman?" Luffy asks while Twilight tilted her head.

"That sounds pretty cool!! What do they look like?" Luffy asks as Sanji suddenly has hearts popping out of his eyes and the smoke puffing from his cigarette turned heart shaped as well. "Fishmen huh? Isn't Fishman Island a very famous travel destination in the Grand Line? I've heard that the most beautiful mermaids are there."

"Fishmen? I think I've seen a lot of those back near the borders of Equestria." Twilight said with a smile.

"I've never met one before!! That's soo cool!!" Luffy jumped up excitedly.

"Yeah. We and the girls used to come across the fishmen and other creatures back when we came across Klugetown to save from family and friends from this evil Storm King and his evil army." Pinkie exclaimed.

"Yeah... They're not actually the nicest of creatures... Your reminded me why I hate epic adventures..." Rarity groaned as she shuddered a bit from the thought of them almost being kidnapped and sold.

"Well in the past yes but they have been reeducated and Klugetown has undergone some major reforms for awhile." Twilight added.

"I admit they're actually not that bad once you get to know them partner." Applejack replied with a smile. "Those guys are fast learners and those fishmen from Klugetown are really nice once you get to know them.

"Yes they might look uncouth at first but you could say that about every creature. The School of Friendship has been a big part about spreading harmony all throughout Equestria and its borders." Rarity said as she and the rest of her friends kept eating.

"That sounds awesome!! It only makes me want to go to Equestria even more and meet Equestrian Klugetown fishmen! Shishishi!" Luffy said with stars and sparkles in his eyes.

"That's great!! And I can also take you to the School of Friendship where you can start taking your friendship lessons and find out more about your rubber devil fruit and take science classes and more and more!!" Twilight announced as she practically jumped for joy.

"Meh.. I don't know.. School is kind of boring.." Luffy said as he stuck his tounge out in boredom.

"What? No! School is not boring! Its a place where you can learn all about the world and everything around us that makes it interesting in the first place!!" Twilight reasoned.

"I'm warning you... Once Twilight starts going, There's no knowing when she's going to stop.." Moondancer said with a knowing smirk.

"You've got that right sister. Its like Rainbow Dash not knowing when to stop talking about the Wonderbolts or spoiling the entire Daring Do series." Gilda added as she and Moondancer gave each other a hoof bump.

"HEY!!" Rainbow calls them out with a pout and she blushes a bit while Gilda and Moondancer giggled as the two started to get along.

Luffy suddenly pulls out a sketchpad out of nowhere and she quickly draws a picture before showing her work of a messily drawn fish like creature with many limbs. "Do they look like this?"Luffy asks before everyone suddenly threw their heads back and laughs doing a spit take in the process.

"That's one ugly fish!! Haha!!" Sanji laughs loudly.

"No!! No!! Hahahaha!! But that sure is one hell of a drawing." Gilda laughs as well.

"Ahh!! I wanna bring back Nami so we can go to the Grand Line already!!" Luffy yelled out with his hands up in the air.

"Your awfully happy. But even with Nami don't you still only have all of those ponies and creatures?" Yosaku asks out. "Are you seriously going to the Grand Line with your party of ponies and creatures? You'll regret it if you underestimate the seas you hear?!"

"If its more crewmates I need I can go do that in the Grand Line too!! After all its supposed to be a paradise!!" Luffy said with a laugh.

"Paradise?! Don't you mean a Pirate's Graveyard?!" Yosaku freaks out.

"Before I left the restaurant, owner Zeff told me... That some people call Grand Line a paradise! Hehe!" Luffy said with a grin.

"And we're gonna join him!!" Rainbow and Spike exclaimed as the two gave each other a hoof bump in excitement.

"YOUR ALL BEING MUCH TOO NAIVE!!" Yosaku screamed out before calming himself down. "Your strong brother Luffy but Arlong is a literal monster."

"I've been called a monster before." Luffy shrugged.

"Yeah and there's nothing that will stop us from saving from friends and going home." Twilight answered with a determined look on her face.

"We've been through worse my guy. We've literally faced world ending bad guys time and time again back home. This is nothing." Rainbow added with a smirk.

"I'm sure its nothing!!" Pinkie replied with a cheerful smile. "We came across villains that can destroy the whole world and even affect the reality of the universe around him. I'm sure this Arlong guy is nothing compared to those guys."

"Listen to me!! LISTEN TO ME!!" Yosaku practically screamed in their faces. "You all really know too little about the Grand Line!! Not to mention our destination as well!! If brother Zoro had some basic knowledge then he'd have come back along with me!! And he definitely would've realized just how terrifying the man at the place sister Nami went to is!!"

"I don't care." Rainbow said as she waves her hoof like it was nothing.

"What?! What do you mean sister Rainbow?!" Yosaku asks the rainbow maned pegasus with his eyes popped out of his head.

"I said I don't care. We've been in these kinds of situations before." Rainbow exclaimed.

"Yeah and wherever Nami is well cross that bridge when we get there. We tried to explain to you that we've been through situations like this in the past and even saved a city from an evil king and his entire army." Twilight added with a reassuring smile and a nod.

"So don't worry! I'm sure that everything will work out." Pinkie chirped as well.

"Look I get what your all saying because from what your saying its the truth but the reason why the Grand Line is called the pirate's graveyard is because of the three great powers that rule over it." Yosaku explained.

"Yes. I think that Gaimon has already explained to us all about them that he knew." Twilight said as she starts scribbling on a parchment with a quill and an ink.

"And one of them is The Seven Royal Shichibukai, The Warlords of the Sea. They're a powerful group of pirates who pledged loyalty to the World Government to have their bounties frozen." The bounty hunter continued.

"So basically they are all a bunch of snitches." Moondancer said with a raised eyebrow.

"You've said it sister." Spike said as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"So it was said that if one of them was defeated, You could..."

"Hell no. If I choose that I'd still be seen as a criminal. Why would I do that?" Luffy answered nonchalantly as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"You tell them Luffy!!" Rainbow called out. "Even if they came up to me I'd say no. Not at all. The only loyalty I have is to this crew and to Equestria!!"

"Yeah. I don't understand. Why would anyone want to be a warlord?" Spike blinked. "Being a pirate means being free from all of those rules.

"I'm sure that they have their own reasons Spike." Twilight commented. "Mihawk is one of them and you saw how strong he is. He took down Zoro without even trying."

"Anyways you all have to know about this especially Straw Hat. Simply put they're seven pirates that are officially authorized by the World Government." Yosaku explained.

"Why? Why would the government permit pirates?" Asks Sanji.

"As long as the Shichibukai give a portion of their loot obtained from pillaging uncivilized lands to the World Government their pirating activities activities are officially sanctioned. Other pirates might look down on them by calling them Government Dogs or whatnot but they're extremely strong! In fact the Hawk Eyed Mihawk who defeated brother Zoro is one of the Ouka Shichibukai!"

"That Hawk Eye decimated a 50 ship fleet like it was nothing!! And there's six more people as strong as him?! This is insanity!!" Rainbow thought out loud.

"Woah!! There's 7 of these guys?!" Luffy asks out in utter amazement. "Those Shichibukai guys are amazing!!"

"Really? How cool! I can't wait to meet the six others!" Pinkie said excitedly.

"There are a few others that have been in the paper." Gaimon continued. "I've heard about Boa Hancock. The one who's called the most beautiful woman in the world. And from what I've told you guys before there's Gecko Moria. He used to be a rival of one of the Four Emperors supposedly. The last one I know about is Jinbei a fishman.

"Jinbei is the one who sailed with Arlong." Yosaku explained. "The rumor is that part of his agreement to become a warlord was freedom for Arlong from the marine prison Impel Down. That was almost a decade ago and Arlong has been laying low here in East Blue since."

"I'm reminding you girls and everyone else here for the last time. The next of the powers is Arlong. He's destroyed over 20 towns in the Grand Line without mercy. He's one of the most feared pirates ever with a bounty of 20 million berries. Yosaku finished.

"That's scary..." Fluttershy said trembling a bit in fear. "I'm guessing Arlong isn't a good person like Luffy."

"Who cares?!" Luffy asks turning everyone's attention to him. "If he's a jerk then I'll kick his ass. If he's hurting Nami I'll kick his ass. If I feel like it I'll kick his ass. That's all there's it to it."

"Huh that sounds pretty impressive. I wonder if I'll get the chance to fight him." Rainbow said looking up at the sky.

"What?! Sis Rainbow you'll get yourself killed if you fight him!! Do you even know how strong he is?!" Yosaku asks but Rainbow just shrugs.

"You all couldn't just get it do ya?!! His strength is unimaginable!!" Exclaimed Yosaku.

"Nope. But I'll guess we'll find out when we get to the island." Twilight just answered the man with a calm smile while the other ponies and creatures gave him a reassuring nod.

"I don't know if that was incredibly profound or incredibly for all you girls to say but I'm all for helping Nami Chan." Sanji said with a smirk as he takes a puff out of his cigarette.

"For Nami!!" ~Moondancer

"For Luffy!!" ~Twilight

"For the magic of friendship!!" ~Fluttershy

"For Equestria!!"~ Rainbow

"No matter where she is!!" ~Applejack

"No matter who we have to face!!" ~Rarity

"No what happens we'll face it all together!!" ~Pinkie Pie

"YAY!!!" Everyone out in the boat cheered with enthusiasm.

Meanwhile it was only a matter of time till noon where certain events would to crescendo and who they will have to face will make Don Krieg look like a shrimp...
