Luffy shot up from the ground, holding up his fist and growling.
Luffy: Give me back my shadow!
Franky put his hand on Luffy's face to stop him from moving.
Franky: Calm down! Moria isn't here!!
Zoro and Sanji came to their senses and stood up as well, confused.
Luffy: Hm? Where am I?
(Y/N): The Thousand Sunny.
Zoro: Sunny?! Why are we back where we started?
He looked down and saw that he had no shadow.
Zoro: But it's not a dream... My shadow is gone!! This feels weird.
Luffy started running with a block of cheese in his hands.
Luffy: This is horrible!! All our food is gone!!
Everyone walked into the kitchen and pantry. It was pretty empty.
Sanji: All that food we stocked up on was pilfered. The only thing left is dried food.
Luffy: Cheese and dried bread isn't enough! Meat!!!
(Y/N): At least my tea wasn't stolen. Those bastards wouldn't live to see tomorrow if it was taken...
Zoro: <face palming> I'm sorry. I was caught completely off guard!
Luffy: <gloomily> My pirate lunchbox is gone too. Cheese isn't enough... Cheese isn't enough...
Sanji: By the way, I don't see Nami...
After Usopp told him that Nami was kidnapped, Sanji almost exploded.
Sanji: She was kidnapped?! Why didn't you follow her to the ends of the earth?!! Who kidnapped her?! I'll go and get her back right now!!!
Usopp: Sorry! But it wasn't really possible for us to go after her! I'll explain everything now! Listen! Right now, there are two things that we have to get back!
Luffy: Meat!! Nami!! And shadows. That's three.
Usopp: Uh... I really don't think one of those would make the list. Anyway, let me talk about Nami and the shadows first.
He told them about a man named Absalom and how he kidnapepd Nami so he could marry him, and that Zoro, Luffy, and Sanji's shadows were stolen and put into some zombies. Luffy's was put into an ancient giant named Oars.
Franky also talked about how the zombies' weakness is salt, and that the shadows will be released if used against them.
Sanji burst into flames when he heard that Nami was going to be married.
Sanji: Getting married?! That's bull!! I won't let it happen!!!
Luffy: He wants to marry Nami? That guys got some guts. Also, I'm a giant...and that's how zombies are made?
(Y/N): So we just need to find the three zombies with you guys' shadows in them and put salt into their mouths.
Zoro: I'm surprised you found that weakness.
Franky: It was the skeleton who told us about the weakness and advised us to come back here first.
Luffy: What?! You saw Brook?!
Franky: I did... I saw him and I asked him a very insensitive question. Well, when you first brought him here and said you wanted him to join us, I completely denied his existence. Y'know, that skeleton may be skinny and everything, but once you get to talk to him, you find out that he's got a real backbone. Because he's a skeleton.
(Y/N) and Zoro looked at each other, sweat dropping.
Franky: But he's a real man!!!
He explained how Brook had told him and Robin that he made a promise to a whale named Laboon that they would meet each other again someday, and that Brook refuses to not keep his promise.
Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp all looked shocked.
Luffy: Laboon.
Sanji: It's him.
Usopp: Are you serious?
(Y/N) and Robin both looked at the others, intrigued that they recognized the whale's name.
Chopper: Him?
Luffy: Oh... We know that whale.
Franky: What?! What do you mean?!
Both (Y/N) and Robin were taken aback by this revelation.
Sanji: In the entrance to the Grand Line, there's a place called the Twin Cape. There's a damned huge whale there, and he was ramming his head against the wall that separates the world. He's still waiting for the pirates who made a promise to him 50 years ago...vowing that they would return. There was some suggestion that the pirates had already fled from the Grand Line, but Laboon refused to accept that and continued to howl. Luffy managed to stop Laboon from killing himself by ramming his head on the Red Line, but he's still alive and waiting for his friend at that cape!
Usopp: This is great! They both kept their promise for over 50 years!
Zoro: I never expected that one of the pirates Laboon was waiting for was that skeleton...
(Y/N): <smirking> Perhaps he was meant to join this crew then.
Franky started sobbing like crazy.
Franky: WAAAAGH!! I love both the skeleton and the whale!!
Zoro/Sanji/Usopp: Geez, would ya shit up?!!
Luffy: Haha! Now I'm getting excited! He's a musician! He's a talking skeleton! He has an afro! He goes "Yo ho ho!" And he's Laboon's friend! I'm going to make him join our crew even if I have to force him! He's joining us! Anyone got a problem with that?!
(Y/N): Nope. He likes tea, so he's great in my book.
Robin: <giggling> Even if we did have a problem, nothing would change his mind.
Usopp: I really want to get him and Laboon to see each other again!
Franky: <sobbing> I'm with you, bros!
Chopper: <sobbing> Me too! I'm not scared of skeletons anymore!
Sanji: So that's settled, to start with... But I need to concentrate on stopping Nami's wedding right now!!
Luffy noticed that Zoro was already off of the Thousand Sunny and walking back towards the mansion.
Luffy: Zoro! Where are you going?
Zoro: We're heading back in. Now we've got another shadow to retrieve, right?
Luffy: Hee hee hee!! All right, everyone!! Prepare for the counterattack!!! We're going to blow Thriller Bark to bits!!!
...
The crew now stood at the bottom of the giant staircase leading to the mansion.
Zoro: But it might be really hard to find the zombies who have our shadows.
Chopper: Luffy's zombie is huge—twice as big as a giant! I don't even know if you'll be able to defeat it!
Luffy: You don't have to look for the zombies. But I do want to take a look at mine.
Zoro: What are you talking about? The way things are, we'll never be able to step in the sun again.
Luffy: Don't you remember what that zombie dude said? If we beat Gecko Moria, everyone's shadow will come back!
The crew was stunned for a second.
(Y/N): Huh. He did say that. Good on you for remembering that, Luffy.
He patted Luffy's head, who grinned before pointing to the mansion.
Luffy: And Moria's at the top of those stairs, right?
Usopp: Whoa! Yeah!!
Luffy: So anyway, I'm going to go beat up Moria! The shadows will all come back after that. Sanji, you'll take care of Nami, right?
Sanji's body ignited in flames.
Sanji: Of course!! I don't care if he's invisible or indivisible! I'll kick him so hard he flies above the fog line!!! I won't let him marry her!!
Usopp: I forgot to mention this, but that invisible guy saw Nami naked in the bath.
Sanji: <furious> WHAAAT??!!! That creep!!!
The fire around his body got even larger.
(Y/N): Good god.
Zoro: <to Usopp> Stop provoking him. He's about to mutate.
Usopp: I do feel responsible for letting them take Nami away right before my eyes. I'm going with Sanji! Besides, I never want to see one of the Seven Warlords ever again!!
Franky: I'm worried about the skeleton's battle, so I'll go check up on him! If Straw Hat beats up Moria first, that'll be resolved too. But if anything happens to him before he gets his shadow back, it'll be horrible.
Zoro: I'll go with you, Franky. I want to see how strong that legendary samurai zombie is.
(Y/N): I'll go wherever Robin goes.
Robin: How sweet of you.
They stared lovingly at each other, causing the rest of the crew to sweat drop.
Robin: We have two paths—one leads to Nami and one to the skeleton.
Chopper: You make it sound so easy, but we're up against one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!
Luffy: It'll be all right. It's just like Crocodile.
Chopper: <gawking> He almost killed you!! You have to be more careful!! Be especially careful around your own zombie!!
Luffy: All right, already.
Usopp threw everyone a small bag filled with salt.
Usopp: This is my special Zombie Death Salt Ball!!
Zoro: So this is what you were working on. Nice job.
Usopp: None of your really understand the concept of danger. Let me tell you one thing! No matter how thick the fog lies on these waters, there's no guarantee that the sun won't shine through. We're only safe now because it's night. In other words, you should assume that sunrise will be our final deadline!
Luffy: Yeah!! It'll suck if we don't get anything to eat until sunrise!! They'll pay for picking a fight with us!! I'll make you regret it, Gecko Moria!!! We'll take back the food they stole and take theirs too. Before sunrise!!
Usopp: Uh... I was talking about getting back the shadows!
Sanji: NAMIII!!!
(Y/N): Let's get this over with. I'm tired of being here.
...
Luffy and Sanji ran ahead of (Y/N), Robin, Chopper, and Usopp.
They were beating the crap out of the groups of zombies waiting for them, and scaring off a lot of them.
Usopp: Looks like they don't need the salt yet. There's anger in their hearts.
Chopper: I guess they don't care about the shadows!
Just then, Luffy and Sanji slumped over on the ground, a gloom cloud hanging over them.
Robin: Oh, no!!
Usopp: What?! What happened?!
(Y/N): Those stupid depression-inducing ghosts got them!
The zombies hurried back and grabbed Luffy and Sanji.
Usopp: Ahh!! Both of them got caught!!
(Y/N) leapt forward and easily blew the zombies away with a strong clap of his hands.
However, a ghost passed through his body, and he slumped over, depressed.
(Y/N): <gloomily> I wish my father had just killed me. I don't deserve to live.
Usopp/Chopper: (Y/N)!!!
The three rushed forward, with Chopper grabbing Luffy while in Heavy Point, Robin getting (Y/N), and Usopp picking up Sanji.
Robin: Hurry! We don't have any choice but to run! If we end up like that, we're all finished!
Chopper: AGH!! If we all get caught, no one can be saved!!
All of a sudden, the ancient giant with Luffy's shadow in it, Oars, jumped onto the bridge, completely destroying it.
Chopper, Luffy, Robin, and (Y/N) managed to get off of the bridge and in the hallway to the mansion, but Usopp and Sanji fell with the broken pieces of the bridge and Oars himself.
Chopper: Usopp!! Sanji!!
Luffy and (Y/N) then came to their senses.
(Y/N): Wh-What...?! Damn! I got hit by one of those ghosts!
Luffy: What...What happened?!
Chopper: Was that... No, it can't be! But that surprised me! The stairs just disappeared! All the zombies and Usopp and Sanji... Everyone fell.
(Y/N) stood up and checked Robin to make sure she had no injuries.
Robin: I'm fine. Just a few scratches.
(Y/N): What do we do now?
Luffy: <standing up> We keep moving.
Chopper: Usopp and Sanji fell down back there. Are you going to leave them?
Luffy: Yeah. They'll be fine! We have to get to Moria before he moves. I'm going to find that giant onion guy and beat him up!
The four started running through the mansion, with Chopper entering Walk Point.
(Y/N): Yes. That is the quickest way to end all of this nonsense!
Chopper: Look, up ahead! That's the entrance to the dance hall where your shadow was taken, Luffy! There's a freezer further in—that's the last place we saw Moria!
Luffy: All right!
However, when they entered the dance hall, they ran into three people.
Luffy: Hey...
(Y/N) grit his teeth was he saw Vlad Draqula.
Draqula: <to (Y/N)> You...
The big man standing next to him gawked at the four pirates.
???: I thought Perona got to you already!
Chopper: <glaring> Hogback!!
The big man, Hogback, looked confused.
Hogback: Huh? What's this reindeer doing here?
Robin: So that's Dr. Hogback...
Luffy: You're the guy who works with Moria!
(Y/N): That other one works with him too.
Luffy: Oh, okay. Should I beat them up too?!
Chopper: Wait, Luffy!! Let me take care of him.
He motioned his head over to the open door behind the three enemies.
Chopper: You see that door in the back? That's the freezer! Go on without me!!
Luffy: <smirking> Okay!
Hogback: Hmph. How dare you try to get to Master Moria without fighting me first! Cindry! Get them!
The third enemy, a blond zombie woman, held up a bunch of plates, preparing to throw them.
Cindry: Yes.
She threw two of them at Luffy, before Robin stopped her by creating arms on Cindry's body that restrained her.
Robin: Luffy, go on without us.
Luffy: Yeah!
As he started running towards the freezer door, Draqula jumped at him, but (Y/N) punched him away with a wind-infused fist.
(Y/N): What they said! This shouldn't take too long though! We'll catch up to you!
Luffy: Got it!! Good luck, guys, and thanks!!
Draqula glared at (Y/N) and wiped his bleeding lip.
Meanwhile, Chopper turned back into Brain Point, staring daggers at Hogback.
Chopper: Hogback!!! I've lost all respect for you!!! You don't deserve to be called a doctor!!
Hogback: Oh, fo ho ho. I didn't recognize you, Dr. Chopper. So you're a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user. I knew you were a strange creature. I don't know how you escaped after being carried through Perona's garden, but now that we've met here, I will not let you go! Your shadow will be mine!!!
Draqula started walking towards (Y/N), who moved back to stand next to Robin.
Draqula: You can use the girl and the reindeer, but the other one must be killed. He's too dangerous to be left alive.
Hogback: I see. Hmm... No, wait... Instead, how about I turn you into a marionette, after you've been killed at their hands?
Two zombies walked forward from behind Hogback.
Chopper: Th-Those are Sanji and Zoro's zombies! They have their shadows in them!
(Y/N): I see. So it's 3 versus 5, huh? Well, the fat doctor looks weak, so he should be easy to beat.
Hogback: Hey!! 💢
Draqula: I'll deal with the devil host.
He jumped high into the air at (Y/N), but passed right through him. He ended up crashing through a window and falling down below.
Draqula: AAAAHHHH!!!
Everyone in the room stared at the broken window, both shocked and confused.
Robin: Oh...
(Y/N): Uh...
Chopper: What just happened?
Hogback: That was sad.
(Y/N) turned towards Hogback.
(Y/N): Well, that happened. Now it's your turn to be defeated.
Chopper: This should be easy! No one's able to touch (Y/N) at all! But leave Hogback to me, okay?
(Y/N): Right. I'll deal with Sanji and Zoro's zombies then.
Suddenly, a chain wrapped itself around the male's body. He fell to his knees.
Robin: (Y/N)?!!
Draqula flew back into the room, bat wings flapping in their air. He held the same Seastone chain from earlier, while wearing gloves.
Draqula: I just needed a distraction to wrap you up in this! Let's take this outside!!
Robin held up her hands to grab Draqula when Zoro's zombie leapt at her, swinging his sword.
Robin had to dodge to avoid the attack before Sanji's zombie kicked her in the face. She hit the ground, grunting.
(Y/N)/Chopper: Robin!!
Draqula laughed before flying towards the window, pulling (Y/N) along with him.
Luckily, with Zoro and Sanji's zombies now focusing on Chopper, Robin summoned an arm on Draqula's shoulder.
The arm punched him in the face repeatedly, causing him to drop the chain.
Draqula grabbed the hand on his shoulder, but it disappeared in a puff of petals.
Draqula: What the—?!
(Y/N) weakly pushed the chains off of him before standing back up. He kicked them away and glared at Draqula.
(Y/N): You're nothing without that Seastone chain. I'm going to kick your ass.
Draqula: <sweating> Oh, shit.
