Chereads / One Piece: Another Chance (Completed) / Chapter 22 - Training & Reunion

Chapter 22 - Training & Reunion

Viper woke up on a bed hooked up to IVs, he tried to get up but fell back down. He looked and saw his right am was missing, he finally remembered everything and started crying. He got up with tears in his eyes and walked out of the room.

He got to a deck and saw Whitebeard's crew all doing their own thing in silence. He walked around and found Marco, sitting by himself, he walked over and said "How long has it been?" Marco gave him a glance and said "Around 4 days." Viper nodded and sat down next to him, in silence.

Viper said "Anything else happen?" Marco handed him a newspaper and said "Not really." Viper read the newspaper and saw Luffy standing with his hat over his chest on the front page, he looked closer and saw '3D2Y' on his arm with the '3D' crossed out. He let out a breath and said "2 years huh?" Marco gave him a glance and said "What?" Viper pointed to Luffy's arm and said "When we were on Sabaody, Luffy said to meet back at our ship in three days, now it says two years. I assume he wants everyone to get stronger before we go to the New World."

Marco nodded and said "So what are you going to do? Also how do you feel?" Viper said "I don't know, I feel filled with power." he frowned and said "Not my own, well not originally." Marco frowned and said "What do you mean-yoi" Viper got up and walked to the edge of the boat and clenched his left fist, causing cracks to appear around it as he punched the air.

BOOM

The air cracked and a shock wave shot out. Viper had his eyes open wide and he full transformed and muttered "Impossible.." over and over again. Marco was staring at Viper with his jaw hanging and said "What was that?!" Viper whipped his tail and it created cracks too.

Viper reverted and stuttered "T-that's not possible!" Marco grabbed him and flew to the middle of the deck and screamed for the rest to come here immediately.

The rest of the crew showed up with different expressions, some were sad, and others were blank. Vista said "What is it Marco?" Marco pointed at Viper and said "Show them." Viper gulped and walked to the edge of the ship and threw a punch, creating cracks in the air.

The entire crew was shocked and said "How is that possible?!" Vista said "Can you still transform?" Viper nodded and full transformed, he swung his tail and it created cracks too. The crew was even more shocked, Viper reverted and said "I'm sorry. I don't know how I have it. I don't deserve to have it. I'll find a way to take the devil fruit out and give it back to you guys." he teared up and began to walk away, before Vista grabbed him and said "No." Viper looked back and saw the rest of the crew smiling at him and was confused. Vista said "It doesn't matter how you got it or why. You and pops have the same dream, and you now have to carry on his legacy!"

Viper was shocked and said "B-B-But I wasn't even a-" Marco cut him off and said "A son? You know that's a lie. You might not be a crew member, but you were still a son. Pops gave his blood for your transfusion, you have his blood in your veins right now." Viper was shocked and said "WHAT?! When did this happen?!" Marco said "You passed out because of blood loss, the only one with type F blood was pops. He filled a bag with his blood and you immediately got the transfusion on the battlefield."

Viper was too shocked to speak, he looked at his left hand and said "Where did he get the blood from?" Marco said "His chest." Viper closed his eyes and said "Near his heart?" Marco nodded and said "How did you know?" Viper said "I found out with my research that devil fruit powers reside in the heart, theoretically speaking if you drink, or in this case transfuse, the heart blood at the moment the person dies, the power won't have enough time to shift to another fruit."

Marco said "What about double fruit abilities?" Viper said "It shouldn't be possible. What happened when the blood went into me?" Marco said "You started shaking violently, and after Pops' coat passed over you you were fine."

Viper fell to the ground and laughed hopelessly "Even when he was dead he still saved me... What a terrible son" The crew looked sad, and Marco walked up and punched him right in the face and said "What terrible son?! Pops gave his blood and spirit to save you! You need to live! Not sit here and sulk like a child-yoi!" Viper got up and wiped his mouth, and turned silent before walking up to Marco and falling to his knees, he put his head on the floor and said "Please train me! Train me to become strong!" as tears fell from his eyes "Train me to become someone Pops would be proud of!" The crew teared up and looked towards Marco.

Marco stared at Viper and said "Alright-yoi. I'll be you zoan fruit teacher, Vista will be your sword teacher, and two others will be your Armament Haki and Observation Haki teachers. Just to be clear, we will put you through hell-yoi." Viper got up and nodded with a determined expression and said "Do you have any tools and metal?" Marco said "Yeah, why?" Viper grinned and pointed to his missing right arm and said "I'm gonna make myself a new arm."

3 months later

Viper was standing with a blindfold on, while Curiel was swinging at him with a stick. The rest of the crew watched as Viper got hit again and again. Viper had a metal arm that he made himself, it was still a bit crude as the crew didn't have the proper tools but it was still functional. On the inside of his wrist there was an engraving of a Bisento. Viper got hit until he dodged, Curiel was explaining how Observation Haki worked as he swung the stick "Feel my intentions, don't just move around randomly. All movements have a purpose, feel what I'm about to do." Viper nodded and dodged another two swings before getting hit again.

2 months later

Jozu said "It is like an invisible armor, that surrounds your body parts." he held up his hand and it turned black, he said "Use your will and spirit to cover yourself." Viper held up his left hand and focused on his fist, it turned slightly darker but not black like Jozu. Viper got frustrated and slammed his fist into the deck. Jozu sighed and said "It doesn't happen over night, it takes a lot of practice. You'll get the hang of it soon." Viper took a deep breath and nodded before going back to training. The crew watched him and Marco commented "I seems like he specializes in Armament.. We need to add a body training program." he looked over to Kingdew, who nodded and said "I'll take care of it."

2 months later

Viper had finished his body training program and was heading for Jozu, when one of the nurses said "Viper, why don't you take a break? Jozu's training isn't for another hour." Viper said "I can't stop. I need to be stronger, not only for the old man but for my crew as well." before he smiled and said "Thank you for worrying about me Lilia." Lilia pouted and said "Yeah, no problem. Just try not to over do it. I'm your nurse after all.." she blushed a little and Viper chuckled and shook his head, before continuing over to Jozu. Lilia watched him go and mumbled "He's a damn wooden log!" before stomping off, causing the surrounding crew members to laugh.

Another 2 months later

Viper was sparring with Vista. Vista said "You need to be quicker!" Viper slashed down from above, sending a wind blade towards Vista, who blocked it and said "You can cut steel now, but you movements aren't fluid enough! Again!" Viper hopped into the air and flipped before slamming down on Vista, who blocked with his swords and slashed at Viper. He flipped Sotohebi and blocked Vista's slash while jumping away. Vista charged at him and they continued sparring.

3 months later

Viper was training when he heard a laugh from another boat. "ZEHAHAHAHAH!" Viper grit his teeth and snapped his head towards the sound and saw Teach with the rest of his crew. He seethed and spat "Teach!" he found out what happened after he passed out and how Teach and his crew finished Whitebeard off.

Teach sailed near the boat and said "Hey guys! Long time no see!" Marco seethed "It's been a year! We we're looking for you!" as he charged at Teach in his hybrid form. The rest of the crew all attacked Teach and his crew, Viper full transformed and sent a wind blast with his tail. Viper's transformations were a little different now, the difference was his right wing was made of metal, he could still fly as his devil fruit transformed his metal arm into the bones and sprouted feathers that seemed metallic but were actually not.

Viper flew into the air and shot a wind blast towards Teach's ship, Van Augur shot at Viper, who dodged and whipped his tail at him. Marco and the rest of the crew were losing, badly. Viper kept attacking and forcing some of Teach's crew to back off.

Teach used his devil fruit powers and spread darkness everywhere. Viper opened his mouth and screeched sending a tremor wind blast through at Teach. The blast hit Teach and cancelled whatever attack he was about to make.

Teach looked at Viper and said "You're the new kid? I thought you were part of that Straw hat boy's crew." Viper said "I am, but the old man was still a father to me! You were part of the reason for his death, that red puppy will get it too." Teach laughed and said "You should join me! We'll go kill Akainu right now if you want!" Viper sneered "No! I won't join you and your band of misfits."

Shiryu said "Who are you calling a misfit you rainbow-haired brat?!" Viper snapped "What did you just call me?!" as he flew in and slammed his tail against Shiryu, creating cracks and sending Shiryu flying. Teach said "YOU have Whitebeard's fruit?! No wonder I couldn't steal it!" Viper said "What did you say?!" he slammed his tail at Teach, and Teach covered his fist in darkness and threw a punch at the oncoming tail.

Cracks spread in the air and Viper was sent flying back and crashing into the ship. Teach laughed and said "You're nothing like Whitebeard! You're just a brat!" Viper coughed up blood as he reverted to his human form, he could only watch as the Whitebeard pirates got decimated. Marco decided to retreat and blue flames surrounded his body as he sent a fire blast towards Teach and his crew allowing the ship to sail away with the rest of the crew. He flew back and landed on the deck and said "Go to Sphinx."

A few days later

The crew was on Sphinx and Marco stood in front of the crew and said "Everyone, I'm sorry. I led you guys into a fight with Teach and lost some of our family.." The crew was sad and Viper stood next to Marco and was silent. Marco said "I think we should disband the crew." The crew was shocked and started freaking out, Marco held up his hand and said "I know how you all feel, but I am not fit to lead. The crew will never be what it was. Pops is gone." the rest of the crew was silent, and Marco continued "Go live your lives however you want. Get married, have kids, create a family on your own! That's what pops would've wanted."

Vista said "What are you gonna do?" Marco said "I'm gonna stay here and protect Sphinx. Maybe be a village doctor or something." the crew was silent. Jozu said "What about Viper? He still has a year left." Marco looked at Viper and said "I'll train him myself, I'll try and teach him everything." Vista chuckled and said "You're not much of a swordsman Marco." Jozu said "And your Armament isn't the best." Curiel laughed and said "Neither is your Observation." Kingdew sneered "And you look a bit thin to me."

Marco smiled and Viper teared up slightly, before smiling himself. The crew decided to stay on the island and train Viper before they all parted ways. This time everyone participated, Viper was constantly training and fighting, but he was also laughing and having fun.

6 months later

Viper was sitting outside by himself, when Lilia came and sat down next to him and said "We're leaving tomorrow." Viper nodded and Lilia said "Are you gonna be okay?" Viper turned to her and smiled "Of course, I'm just a bit sad. You're all so nice to me. Training me all the time, and treating me. I'm gonna miss you all." Lilia rested her head on his shoulders and said "We're going to miss you too." she was silent for a moment before grabbing his hand and saying "Come with me. I'm not gonna let you sit here alone." she dragged him over to the crew and they started drinking and eating.

Viper was drinking with everyone and was getting pretty drunk. Lilia came over and said "Viper can you come with me?" Viper said "Sure." before turning to the rest and saying "I'll be right back!" one of the crew members said "Don't come back too fast!" and the rest of the crew laughed, Lilia's face turned red as she dragged him into a house.

She closed the door and kissed him, he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer. He picked her up and brought her over to the bed and took off her clothes, he took his own off and very soon moans sounded inside the house.

The next day

Viper was standing next to Marco on the coast and watched as the crew left. Some had tears in their eyes and some smiled and waved. Viper waved at the rest and the duo watched as the ship disappeared over the horizon.

Marco said "You learned Haki, swordsman ship and your body is tough enough. I'm only going to focus on you Zoan fruit now. We only have 6 months, it'll be the same as normal devil fruit training but we're only doing devil fruits. Do the rest on your own time, okay?" Viper nodded and Marco smiled and said "Now show me how those rumble balls work!" Viper chuckled and started explaining as the duo walked off.

5 months later

Viper was fighting Marco in his full form. Marco said "Alright that's enough. Let's go over all your transformations one more time." Viper nodded and said "Human form is the first, then Hybrid form."

Viper transformed into his new hybrid form, he had his wings out and he grew a snake tail, along with feathers on his head. His eyes turned to slits and he had snake fangs, he hissed out "I can still merge my legs back into my tail." Marco nodded and Viper said "Next full transformation."

Viper changed into his full transformation. He had his metallic looking wing and feathers, except he had scales on his body and only had feathers flowing down his spine. He said "Next is Dragon point."

He transformed into his dragon point. He had tough scales and a thicker head, he grew arms and legs. His right arm was mechanical, and his right wing looked the same as it did in his full transformation. He had the same feathers along his spine that fanned out on his tail, and dragon horns on his head. He said "Dragon point merged with defense point. Next is sharp point."

Viper transformed again. Sharp point was much different, his head angled to a point and his feathers became shorter and sharp. He had huge flat spikes along his spine and his wings turned smaller and more angled. His tail ended in a sharp spike with feathers fanning it in the shape of a diamond, the feathers were razor sharp. Viper said "Sharp point, sharper and my tail is able to cut steel and send wind blades." Marco nodded and said "Now the new one!" Viper smiled and said "I don't know why you like this one so much.." Marco snapped "Because it's cool! What do you mean-yoi!"

Viper sighed and transformed. He went back to normal full transformation before he grew another head. He had his normal wings and a new set of the same wings right under it. Viper's heads spoke at the same time "Double-headed point." he opened his mouths and both heads shot different things. The first head shot out a wind blast, and the second head shot out a tremor blast, the two blasts flew into the ocean and created a huge explosion. Marco clapped and said "That's cool-yoi!" Viper sighed and reverted back to his human form.

Marco said "Now you only need rumble balls for your monster point right?" Viper nodded and Marco said "Show me." Viper bit down on a rumble ball and transformed.

His monster point was bigger at 50m. He had scales on his sides, and head, while his underbelly was all rough skin. He had huge feathers shooting out the top of his head, resembling a crown, sitting in between dragon-like horns and massive wings. He had feathers trailing down his spine with flat spikes shooting out. His tail feathers were fanned out and sharp. Viper said "Pretty cool right? It's much better than the double head." Marco waved him off and said "What do you mean you had two heads before-yoi..." Viper chuckled and shot a wind tremor blast from his mouth, creating a huge explosion on the sea.

Viper laughed and eyed Marco "Why don't we spar a little? I'm sure you have some rumble balls on you." Marco smirked and said "Did you forget what happened last time, you little garden snake-yoi?" Viper sneered and said "That wasn't fair, you said that pirates were attacking, and sneak attacked me!"

Marco chucked and bit down on a rumble ball, transforming into a giant 50m phoenix, but instead of blue he was white with a blue crown on his head. Marco said "Distractions are part of battle too-yoi!" and charged at Viper, who chuckled and collided with him. Some of the villagers watched them fight in the air, a little boy said "Woah! Uncle Marco and Uncle Viper are so cool!" the little boy had a robotic arm. The boy's father smiled and rubbed the boy's head, as they watched Viper and Marco spar.

A week later

Viper was sitting in front of Whitebeard and Ace's grave, he said "I will live well and protect my family. Thanks old man." a small breeze blew past Viper, causing Viper to smile. Marco landed next to him and said "Hey Pops." before turning to Viper and saying "We have to get going or you'll be late-yoi" Viper stood up and said "See ya later.. Pops" before he turned around and said to Marco "Alright, let's go. I'll race you." before turning into his hybrid form and flying off, Marco smirked and flew after him.

A month later

Marco and Viper arrived at Sabaody. Viper hopped off the boat and landed on the island, he turned around and said "Thank you for everything Marco." Marco smiled and said "Don't go dying on me out there, and work on you Haki when you have time! Also I got you a present." he threw a box at him.

Viper caught the box and opened it and said "What's this?" Marco said "A new alloy, they call it Wapometal. I thought it would make a better material for your new arm-yoi." Viper put the box down and hugged Marco "Thank you.. Big brother." Marco teared up slightly and said "Alright, don't get all sappy with me-yoi. Your crew is waiting for you. Go." Viper smiled and picked up the box and said "See you later!" as he walked away. Marco watched him go and smiled "That damn brat.. I never told you but you already made Pops proud.." and he sailed away.

Viper was walking in the streets carrying a box. He looked drastically different, he was 6'5 and had his hair tied up in a bun with an open collared short sleeved shirt, revealing his three scars and a Quetzalcoatl tattoo poking out from his left chest. He had shorts on and sandals, along with his robot arm.

He walked the streets and came across a blond haired man, who was walking with a fat green haired man. Viper bumped into them and said "Ah my bad." and continued towards Shakky's bar. The blond haired man shouted "Hey you! Do you know who I am?" Viper stopped and said "No. A clown? I'm not scared of clowns anymore."

The man blinked and said "I'm 'Black leg' Sanji! You think you can bump into me and get away with it?!" Viper turned around and said "You? Sanji? You could've at least got a better costume." he looked at the fat man with green hair and said "Let me guess you're Roronoa Zoro? You guys aren't even trying..." he shook his head and walked up to them and said "Come with me, i'll show you how to act like them." and walked off, the duo of fakes followed him.

Viper pointed to a woman and said "Fake Sanji, go over and flirt with every woman you see, while Fake Zoro scolds you for being a dart-brow." they looked at Viper and said "Who are you?" Viper smiled and said "I'm Viper. Remember, if you want to act like someone you have to copy their habits too!" and walked off, the fake Sanji pulled out a roll of papers and said "I think we just ran into another one of the real Strawhats.." he gulped and said "We need to tell boss." the fake Zoro nodded and they ran off.

Viper walked into Shakky's bar and said "Helloooooo?" Shakky came from her seat and said "You're late." Viper rolled his eyes and said "Better late than never." Shakky giggled and Rayleigh said "You're 9th, only Luffy isn't here yet." Viper chuckled and walked over to the bar, putting down his box and sitting down as he said "See? The captain isn't here yet, nobody will ever know. Can I have a drink please?" Shakky got him a drink and handed it to him.

Viper grabbed it with his robotic arm and started drinking. Rayleigh said "I heard you caused quite the stir during the war." as he tapped on Viper's robotic arm. Viper sighed and said "Not enough unfortunately, I still couldn't save anyone.." Rayleigh sighed and said "You tried, and now you're stronger. Luffy is too." Viper said "You trained Luffy?" Rayleigh smiled and nodded "I haven't seen him for 6 months, but when I left he was pretty strong.. How did your training go?"

Viper smiled and said "I was with the rest of Whitebeard's crew.." he told them about his training and what happened with Teach and the how the crew dissolved. He finished "I've been training with only Marco for the past 6 months." he was quiet before saying "Rayleigh I need to show you something." he was very serious, Rayleigh got serious and said "Come with me." the duo left and Shakky followed, watching from a distance.

Viper said "Before the old man died he gave me his blood for a transfusion, and I survived but.. well it's easier to just show you." Rayleigh watched at Viper swung his right hand in the air, creating cracks and sending a shockwave flying. Rayleigh was shocked and said "You have two?!" Viper nodded and hybrid transformed and slammed his fist again, before reverting back.

Rayleigh said "That's quite something." Viper nodded and explained what Marco told him. Rayleigh sighed and shook his head "That's incredible, even from the grave he saved you..." Viper was silent and said "I just want to make him proud and protect my family." Rayleigh smiled and patted his shoulders and said "You're exactly like he was, I'm sure he's already proud of you." Viper smiled and the duo walked back to the bar.

Viper was drinking and said "Where's the ship, I'd rather not have to carry this box around all day." Rayleigh chuckled and said "Grove 42." Viper thanked him and stood up when he felt a wave of Conqueror's Haki, he grinned and said "He's here." before he walked out of the bar.

Viper reached the Sunny and jumped on the deck and put the box in the lab, before walking back on the deck. He sighed and said "I need new clothes.." before he noticed Franky was on the deck. Viper smiled and said "Franky!" as he waved, Franky turned around and said "Viper?!" Viper chuckled and said "How's it going?" Franky grinned and did his signature pose before saying "SUUPERR! Like the new body?" Viper circled around him and said "Very nice. How's your cola system?" Franky said "Better than what you said on the sea train in Water 7!" he explained how it worked and said "What happened to your arm?" Viper rubbed his robot arm and said "A dog bit it off.. I need to make a new one later, wanna help?" Franky nodded and said "That must be some dog.. Sure! We'll make it SSSUUUPPERRRR!" Viper chuckled and said "Yeah it was a rabid one, and great! I just got a big box filled with this new material called Wapometal!"

Franky said "You have Wapometal?! I made a battle suit with Wapometal!" Viper blinked and said "So you know how it works?" Franky nodded and explained the properties of the metal. Viper nodded and said "When we leave, we'll get to work. I'll see you later, I'm going to look for Luffy." Franky nodded and waved.

Viper was walking down the street and wandered into Grove 46. He saw a giant crowd of pirates, he looked up and saw a group of fake Strawhats on a podium with Luffy in a disguise wearing a giant bag. He laughed out loud and flew over to the podium and stood right in front of Luffy and said "Only a mustache and a nose?" he facepalmed and Luffy said "Shishishishi Hancock told me to wear it."

Viper rubbed his chin and said "Hancock? The girl that says she's the most beautiful girl in the world? She's annoying." Luffy sighed and said "I know, she won't stop asking me to marry her! Even after I say no." Viper patted his shoulder and said "Maybe one day she'll understand." Luffy said "Woah! You have a robot arm?! Cool!" Viper chuckled and said "I have something else too!"

The rest of the people were confused, and were just staring at Viper and Luffy talking. The fake Luffy snapped "Who are you?!" Viper sighed and turned to look at the fakes, he saw his own fake and said "Does my hair really look like that?" Luffy looked and saw a man with 8 different colors in his hair and said "Yeah." Viper gnashed his teeth and snapped at the fake him "Idiot! I only have 3 colors! What are you walking around looking like a damn rainbow for?!" and he kicked the fake away. Luffy laughed and Viper mumbled "Damn idiot fakes.."

The fake Luffy started putting the pieces together, when a loud voice was heard "I think he looked exactly like you." everyone turned and saw a fat man holding a giant axe, surrounded by Pacifistas. Viper sneered "You can't even see your own dick, what nonsense are you spouting? You look and sound like a woman and you're wearing a dress. Go find Ivankov, i'm sure he'll give you a sex change for free." Sentomaru seethed and a man landed next to Viper and said "He's right. That Okama bastard will do it for free."

Viper grinned and said "Hey nice of you to show up. Where's grass man?" he took out his sword and blocked a flying slash as he heard "Who are you calling grass man?! You rainbow haired bastard!" Viper grinned and caressed Sotohebi as he said "You. You half-grass bastard! What are you gonna do about it?" as he slashed and sent a wind blade towards Zoro.

Zoro grinned and said "Eh? The garden snake finally has fangs?" as he blocked the slash, he charged at Viper and they clashed swords. Both their swords turned black and a shockwave blew away some of the pirates. Viper laughed and said "I think you mean king of the snakes." Zoro grinned and Sentomaru snapped "Stop ignoring me!"

Viper sighed and said "You guys wanna see something cool?" the trio grinned and nodded, Viper chuckled and a small tornado covered his right arm, he waved and the tornado shot through the Pacifistas smashing them against each other and destroying them. Viper chuckled and said "I have another thing to show you guys, but I want to wait until we're with everyone else. It's kinda important." the trio nodded and started fighting the marines.

A few minutes later

The trio was walking towards the Sunny, as more marines showed up. They got on the Sunny and joined with the rest as marines started firing cannonballs at them. The cannonballs got turned into stone and some other ones were stopped by Marco in his phoenix form. Hancock glared at Marco and Marco winked at her. Viper said "You made me lose the perfect reveal!" Marco laughed and said "Should've moved faster then you brat-yoi!" Viper smiled and shook his head. Luffy said "Set sail!" the Sunny started to sink as Marco said "Oi, Viper!" Viper looked up and Marco said "Be careful." Viper teared up and nodded, Marco smiled and flew away.

The Sunny completely submerged, and was heading for Fishman island. The crew was sitting on the deck sharing stories of their training. Sanji said "You were on an island of women and I got sent to hell?!" Luffy grinned and nodded. Everyone looked at Viper, waiting for him to share.

Suddenly a giant seaking showed up and growled at them, Luffy stood up, but Viper said "Actually, let me do it. It has to do with my story anyway." Luffy sat down and the crew watched as Viper walked up and swung his fist through the coating, creating cracks in the air and blowing the seaking away. He turned around and chuckled at the crew's shocked looks before hybrid transforming and reverting, shocking them even more.

Viper sat back down and explained everything he held up both his fists, one of them was surrounded by a tornado and the other was covered in a white light ball. He de-activated them and told them about the battle after Luffy left.

The crew was completely amazed, Viper chuckled and showed them all this new transformations and stopped on the double-headed point, before saying "I can shoot out a wind ball and a tremor ball at the same time." and reverted to his human form. Chopper said "Woah! I changed too!" He showed all his transformations and said "Monster point only needs-" Viper cut him off and said "A single rumble ball." Chopper said "YOU TOO?!!?!!" Viper grinned and chuckled before saying "I can also do this too!" he full transformed before shrinking down to a normal snake size and landing on Robin's head and curling up.

Luffy said "Woah! You're like a tiny snake now!" Viper chuckled and slid down to Robin's shoulder and landed on her breasts facing the rest of the group and saying "I know pretty cool right?" Robin grabbed him and said "Ah! So cute!" Viper was choking and Sanji said "Yeah, so cute that he can just sit there." Viper turned to Sanji and winked before sticking out his tongue and jumping out of Robin's hands reverted back to his human form. Sanji seethed and lunged at him starting a dust brawl.

A while later

Viper was in the lab with Franky, working on his new Wapometal arm. Viper said "Why do you want it square?! I just want it to look the same as my left arm..." Franky said "But that's not super..." Viper felt his eye twitch and said "YOU are SUPER, that's your thing. I just want a new functional arm." Franky sighed and grumbled something about rainbow-hair and not super, as they got back to work.

Viper engraved a Bisento on the inside wrist and said "Finished!" he took out his right arm and installed the new arm, Franky used small robot hands that came out of his giant hands and helped him with the installation. They finished and Viper moved his right arm and said "Wow! This stuff is amazing!" as he looked at his new arm, it looked exactly like his left but it was completely made of metal and grey. The only color on it was the Bisento, it had the same color scheme as Whitebeard's.

Viper nodded and was satisfied "Thanks Franky! Couldn't have done it without you." he smiled and Franky chuckled "No problem. Let's go back."

Viper and Franky reached the deck and the Sunny was being pulled by a kracken. The crew looked over and saw Viper's new arm, Luffy ran over and said "Cool! Can it shoot lasers?!" Viper looked at Franky and said "No, but Franky can. Although I don't know why he didn't go for a more sleek look..." Robin chuckled and Franky snapped "Oi Rainbow-head! This look is SUUPER!" Viper sighed and said "Yeah, I know.."

Luffy suddenly said "We need to have a serious talk. Come to the kitchen." Viper and Franky nodded and followed the rest to the kitchen.

The crew was sitting in the kitchen and Luffy said "This is very important." the crew was confused and Luffy said "I wanted to talk about this before we took the two year break, but everything happened and we couldn't talk about it." The crew was waiting and had serious looks on their faces.

Luffy took a deep breath and said with a serious face "The way Viper ranked us is all wrong, I should be first." the crew all face faulted and Viper smashed his head into the table. Luffy continued "We need to redo it." Viper snapped "You called a meeting for that?! I thought it was a serious problem!" Franky said "It is a serious problem, me and Brook aren't even on the list!"

Viper rubbed his forehead and spat "Robin, Zoro, Me, Sanji, Nami, Franky, Brook, Ussop, Chopper, Luffy." he leaned back and crossed his arms with a smirk on his face. The rest of the crew minus Robin, Zoro, and Nami frowned.

Luffy snapped "I'M THE CAPTAIN! I SHOULD BE FIRST!"

Brooke said "I'm 90 years old."

Franky said incredulously "I'm behind the love-cook?!"

Ussop said "I got bumped down two spots..."

Chopper cried "I'm still only in front of Luffy.."

The crew argued for a long time before Viper said "Okay! This is the new order! (Luffy), Robin, Zoro, Me, Franky, Sanji, Brook, Nami, Chopper, Ussop..." he whispered "And Luffy." the crew nodded in satisfaction, Viper sighed and rubbed his temples before he remembered "Oh yeah! Zoro! Want a cybernetic eye?!" he looked at Zoro excitedly, Zoro shivered and snapped "I will cut you, if you get anywhere near my eye!" Viper chuckled crazily as he drew Sotohebi and said "Come on.. It won't hurt at all.. I can make you see again! KEHHAHAH" he had a maniacal look on his face, Robin giggled and Franky stood behind Zoro and said "Don't worry Zoro! Join us!" Viper said "Join us!" Zoro started to sweat as he bolted from his chair and left the kitchen, Viper and Franky followed after him screaming "JOIN US!" the rest of the crew chuckled and Nami said "It's good to be back." the rest nodded and agreed.
