Chapter VIII: SCP-3700
(Your POV)
"So that's how I became King of the Seas."
"That's quite the journey."
Miku and I were currently leaning over the railing of the Thousand Sunny, watching over the waves of the Northern Sea. Due to me being on a very tight schedule, Miku and I had to catch up on the waves while we rode out to catch SCP-3700-1 and SP-3700-2. Now we just had to wait for them to appear, which could take a while. Miku and I weren't the only ones here however, we also brought along the straw hat pirates, Haruka, Miyabi's team, and Yumi's team,. Miyabi and Yumi were both shinobi from Sacred King's, but ones that I never got around to meeting until after it's destruction. Since then, the two have been working under me alongside Homura and Asuka's teams.
"Yeah, sorry to get you roped into this, since I'm sure life was all fine and dandy before this, but I need help." I sighed as the wind blew through both our hair. "The stakes are high, so I hope you understand."
"I completely understand, you have a lot weighing on your shoulders." Miku responded as we heard arguing behind us, it was between Zoro and Luffy, so it wasn't important. "Besides, I heard about the things your opponent has done, and I can't say I'm a fan. By the way, how did you know I was a spirit?"
"Over the past three years, Haruka and I developed a method of tracking spirits." I pointed over to my head scientist, who waved. "Human souls are a lot more mellow compared to the souls of a demigod or a spirit, so we just had to look for wild souls that rivaled the power of demigods. If they weren't a demigod, then we'd know you were a spirit."
"Then how did you know I was just a demigod of an unknown god?" Miku asked, but unknown gods are dead gods.
"There are no unknown gods, if a god is forgotten in time, then that god ceases to exist." I spoked coldly, since this was one of the more cruel ways to kill a god. "Plus, demigod souls usually have a strong attraction to their respective element, like that element is bowing down to them."
"I suppose that's fair." Miku sighed and looked around at the waters in front of us. "Hey, navigator, are you sure this is the right place, I'd prefer it if we didn't spend too much time out here."
"My name is Nami, girly!" Nami shouted, causing me to realize something, Miku has been rather rude to everyone other than me, especially if they're male. "Anyways, this should be the right place because the file said between a small cluster of islands and look around you, those islands are all around us!"
"How do we know those files contained the truth?" Miyabi questioned the navigator, who held the files in her hands. "For all we know, they could have been lying to us."
"Because the files have been verified by the 05 council, the highest authority in the foundation." I informed the curious shinobi. "Besides, if Ursula wins, thousands of anomalies will be released and uncontained because Ursula's conquest will destroy everything holding those anomalies back. Therefore, our interests meet, and if either of us lie, we all die."
"You know, that last part can be a really depressing poem." Usopp commented from the crow's nest above the ship, keeping an eye out for any anomalous behavior.
"Lady Miyabi, do you require anything, a cold drink perhaps?" Imu held an overtop glass of some kind of orange liquid in front of Miyabi, who declined the offer. "But we're close to the salty ocean, you must be thirsty!"
"I could say the same for all of you fine young ladies!" Sanji came out from below the deck with over the top drinks of varying colors, and a bloody nose from joy.
"Get out of my sight, Pig." Miku looked completely disgusted with Sanji, something tells me she should and will never meet Issei.
"As you wish." Sanji, without faltering, went back below the deck, leaving the rest of us confused.
"I wonder what was going through his head." Yumi suddenly appeared to the opposite side of me of Miku, somehow catching me off guard. "By the way, we've never officially met, haven't we King (Y/N)?"
"No need for the formalities, I never liked them, Yumi." I commented before speaking more. "Though I must agree with you, I'm sincerely sorry for not getting to know everyone that's been fighting alongside me."
"Not exactly a good look, now is it." Miku teased with a smirk and I could tell she was having fun.
"Hey, I didn't even graduate high school and now I have to manage the biggest kingdom in the world while also fighting a war against some of the most powerful beings in myth, of course I'd be a recluse." I defended myself like a child just to amuse Miku. "Still, I hope life in the Sylleblossom Alliance Territory has been treating everyone well."
"It's been well, the weather is nice and the pay is great, so living there is quite nice." Yumi seemed satisfied with the island life, which helped relieve some of my stress. "By the way, who are you using as your inspiration for leadership? A European monarch?"
"Nah, I personally try to stay down to earth, without the need of this whole 'divine mandate' or something."
"How about Genghis Khan, since you're planning on conquering stuff."
"I'll probably take some of his methods on conquest, but try to dial back the murder."
"Margaret Thatcher?"
"Do I look like a villain?!"
"Say, how are you paying for all this?"
"We have special teas, plants, technologies, and materials unique to our alliance thanks to our connection to the sea and magic." I informed her, kind of proud of my achievement. "Our teas and plants are unique to the deep ocean floor, so it's incredibly expensive for anyone else to go down and get it while we can just do it for almost no extra expenses. Plus we have a terrifying military which can take more bullets than any regular person, on account of them being made of steel, so the rest of the world has to play by our rules."
As I spoke, I accidentally got the attention of one of the shinobi working alongside me, Murasaki. Even with the little contact I made with everyone, Murasaki was the mystery of them, she gave off a kind of cynical vibe, but she's always seen with a stuffed bear. Still, I try to be nice to her, but most of the time she thinks like I'm just being one of the nobles who puts on a mask of kindness. However, now she looks like she's questioning those thoughts of hers.
"Guys, a giant lobster just appeared out of the water!" Yozakura pointed at the moving lobster which was known as SCP-3700-1, now all we have to do is wait for the eel to show up.
"Can I play with it?" Minori asked, and I began questioning how she became a member of the elite team.
"That sounds like, totes, fun!" Shiki announced, as she was another person I'm concerned about because of her 'gal' personality.
"Oi, Franky, I need you to break up the fight between Luffy and Zoro." I ordered as I walked towards the helm of the ship. "Miku, I recommend getting your angel ready, as for the shinobi, you girls get the chains ready should SCP-3700-2 show up."
"S-Sure thing!" Murokump had that mask over her face, and I've never seen her without it, but she's a nice person who helps out, so I let her do whatever.
"Ryobi and Ryona, you two are with me because of your ability and preference of long ranged weaponry." I ordered the two sisters before giving out additional orders. "Ryona, don't let your masochism control you. Ryobi, don't let your sadism control you."
"Well that sucks." Ryobi agreed, but not before clicking her tongue, at least she was reasonable.
"I'll only do it if you agree to abuse me later~" Ryona was another masochist, like that one guy from Ratatoskr, but much MUCH worse.
"I'd prefer not to abuse my own people even if they ask me to." I sweatdropped as the Thousand Sunny began moving, following SCP-3700-1 closely as the giant lobster began moving.
"Aw man..." Ryona drooped, signaling she was depressed, so I pat her head gently.
"You mean to tell me you wanted him to abuse you?!" Brook asked, his bones sounded like wooden wind chimes as he moved.
Ignoring that, we all began following SCP-3700-1, which I'm gonna name Jerry. Jerry led us in circles like a spiral in the area, forcing me to use [Lord of the Sea] to force the winds to blow the sails. Storm clouds suddenly covered all of us, signaling the arrival of SCP-3700-2. From the waters in front of us, a giant black pelican eel emerged from the water. This eel was much larger than Jerry, so I'm gonna name the eel Tom. There weren't any SCP foundation ships because the war forced many mythical beasts out of hiding or hibernation, forcing the foundation to focus on taking care of them instead. To help them out, I'll be taking over the minds of aquatic SCP's.
"Okay, Luffy, I need you to..." I turned my head around to see Luffy was collapsed on the ship deck. "DID YOU FALL ASLEEP?!"
"No, devil fruit users just can't stand water." Zoro could be seen dragging Luffy's body like it was a dead body. "Since it's raining, at least four people on our crew can't help you all that much."
"If that's the case." I held my hand up to the sky and used [Lord of the Sea] to force the clouds to disperse, before you say anything, [Lord of the Sea] applies to any element even somewhat connected to the sea. "Behold, my limitless power."
"Just because you're king doesn't mean you have to act like that."
"It's sarcasm, ever hear of it!?"
With that said, tentacles emerged from Tom's body which began trying to restrain Tom, however, I was having none of it. I summoned [Failnaught] and summoned three [Shinsu arrows]. I used [Ryokuryuu] to cover my right leg in green scales, enhancing my strength and sending me into the sky. While in the sky, I used [Gates of Babylon], a skill I feel as though I'm spamming now that I have it. I released the arrows at the same time as I launched the series of weaponry from the noble phantasm. The launched weapons and arrows managed to plant themselves in Jerry's skin, but none of them did any lasting damage.
The Thousand Sunny fired it's cannons at Jerry, but the cannonballs just slid off. To ensure the safety of everyone, I used [Lord of the Sea] to keep the waves around everyone calm. Still, the fact that Tom was the only way to fight Jerry was concerning, since Jerry appeared much weaker than Tom. I landed atop Tom's head and used [Hakuryuu] to cover my right arm in white scales. I slammed my fist onto Tom's head, but that did little more than to annoy it.
"Gum gum, pistol!" Luffy shouted as a stretched out fist flew directly into Tom's massive jaw like an uppercut. "Wait, don't we need to make this thing your friend?"
"Yeah but to do that I need to stay still so I can use [Dominate] on it." I theorize that dominating something as big as this would take at least a couple minutes, so we need to restrain both SCPs before I do that. "
"Got it!" Luffy was about to fell into the ocean, but I used [Lord of the Sea] to make a pillar made of ice come forth from the dark blue waters to push Luffy upwards. "Thanks!"
Luffy stretched his arm towards me, allowing me to pull him onto the head of Tom. I may or may not have pulled too hard because Luffy was sent into the air above me, but the two of us saw a moment of opportunity. Luffy bit his thumb and blew into it while I used [Ice Make, Great Pillar] to make a giant pillar made of ice. The chisel was about as large as I was and had a two meter radius. As for Luffy, his hand was enlarged and converted in a black aura, I believe it's called Haki. Either way, he launched his fist downwards onto the flat part of the pillar, forcing it downwards.
The sheer force of the impact on Tom's head was enough to send Tom into a drunken daze like he was just hit with a flash bang. I whistled to signal that Usopp should fire the harpoons to give the shinobi an access point. Two harpoons managed to plant themselves onto the neck of Jerry, allowing Ryobi and Ryona to dash toward Luffy and I, firing bullets from their respective guns as they did so. Even though they were firing dust rounds, the bullets did little more than annoy Tom, which isn't a good sign.
Tom managed to break free from the tentacles and stabbed Jerry with its claws, but it accidently knocked Ryona and Ryobi off their ropes, forcing them to fall. I took a breath in before jumping off of Tom, I summoned [Wings of Icarus] to help my fly since my own wings are still in tatters, and I soared towards the twins. I held my hands out and caught both on them at once in my hands before landing on the Thousand Sunny. From there, I saw that Zoro was trying to cling onto Tom's skin with one of his swords, which he stabbed into it's skin. As for Sanji, he was jumping from Tom to Jerry and back. No one was doing any damage to Tom, so I began panicking and decided to pull out the [BFG] and aimed it at the head of Tom.
"Hey Miku, is there any chance you can target certain people with certain songs or is it 'all or nothing' with your angel?" I asked as I aimed my gun, which was heavy even by my standards.
"It's all or nothing, sorry." Miku informed me as she had her organ-like angel at the ready.
"That's fine, but I'm gonna need you to play 'March', when I tell you to." I got the gun ready and prepared my spare hand to use another skill.
"How do you know about my songs?"
"According to everyone I've ever worked with, I'm a genius who does his research." I answered shortly before using [Snatch] to take away Tom's hearing. "Miku, now I a good time!"
After I gave the order, a beautiful song began filling the ship, and it was obviously Miku's March song, which enhanced our strength. Due to spirits being on par with demigod's, the boost was immense and noticeable. Zoro managed to cause a sizable scar in Tom's side while Sanji managed to kick Tom's head hard enough for a crack to be heard. Once everyone was away from the head, I pulled the trigger and let a green explosion fill the area around Tom's head. Yumi managed to create a bridge of ice using her fans, allowing Miyabi, Imu, and Murakomo to run towards Tom.
All three girls were dragging chains as they ran, and the chains were connected to the ship on one side, while the other was in their hands. Thanks to their training in chakra, the three girls managed to run up the eel's body while Jerry distracted it. They ran upwards and spiraled around its body, trying to get the chains as tangled as possible. However, Murakomo nearly lost her chakra grip and slid a bit, but she managed to stay on the eel. Only problem was, her mask didn't make it. For the briefest of moments, I did get to see a rather adorable face, but Murakomo covered her face with her hands in shame. To help her out. I used [Lord of the Sea] to create a small plate of ice that floated in the air and caught her mask, allowing me to give it to her. I did have to nudge her hands to get her attention, but Murakomo was grateful for her mask.
Still, I really wanted to see her adorable face more, but I put my needs aside. Sanji however, nearly fell to his death so I had to make a slide of ice to get him back on the ship. Unsurprisingly, he was passed out. On the bright side, his part was done, and next up was Nico Robin.
"Cien fleur!" Multiple human hands erupted all over Tom's body, all of which grabbed onto the chains and held them in place, restricting Tom's movements.
Jerry managed to club Tom in the head using his claws, causing Tom to finally look like she's becoming worn out. I summoned [Areadbhar] and threw the spear at Tom's head, causing it to become implanted into Tom's skin. I used [Warp] to effectively teleport myself to Tom's head. I landed atop the head and used [Dominate], causing my hand to begin glowing (f/c) and burn Tom's head like a brand. The monster screamed in pain, trying to shake me off, but Luffy was nearby and managed to knock some sense back into Tom. Overtime, the beast became more and more tame, finally accepting his position as someone beneath me. One I finished dominating Tom, the beast became much more relaxed and lowered his head to Jerry's, allowing me to hop off and do the same thing to Jerry. Jerry accepted his fate, so I tried to dial back the pain as much as I could for him. Now both monsters had marks on their heads that resembled scorched burn marks of my hand, since I kind of had to burn them. On the bright side, now I can command them telepathically, plus I'll most likely remove my [Dominate] skill on them when this war is over.
"So...now what?" Zoro asked as Tom used his claw to drop me back onto the Thousand Sunny. "Do we head back home or do we look for more of these SCP things?"
"We're gonna head back to Sylleblossom Island, But we're gonna need to check the Indian Ocean because SCP-3000 is said to be located over there, just super deep down." I answered as Franky walked over to the wheel. "I'll take care of 3000 alone, since it has mind powers and I'm the only person immune to it."
"Got it."
(Timeskip, brought to you by (Y/N) trying to be cool whilst standing atop of Jerry, but accidently falling off.)
All of us were now docking at Sylleblossom Island, with the exceptions of the SCP's we got. Tom and Jerry stayed around the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea, that way they can quickly appear when I call them, while SCP-3000 (named Anantashesha for some reason), is somewhere in the Atlantic. As for why I'm in a hurry, I'd like to introduce myself to the spirits I sent my pieces to meet up with. I was walking off the ship, followed by Miku and Haruka through the town when I saw the spirits and my pieces. I walked up to them to introduce myself, but there was something else there, a spacecraft of all things, and it wasn't the one I sent Free on. There was also Origami and some blonde woman with them. The first person who noticed me was the one known as <Sister>, but she seemed off.
"I greet you Lord Xemnas, my name is Nia!" <Sister> gave me her actual name as she bowed respectfully, but why the hell did she call me Xemnas, oh right now I remember.
"Nia, please just call me (Y/N)." I sighed, I'm getting real sick of people calling me Xemnas. "As for the rest of you, what may I call you."
"Mukuro." <Zodiac> answered in a monotone voice, don't tell me I have another emotionless girl, this time one with blonde hair.
"I'm Natsumi." The <Witch> answered, and I was half tempted to have Haruka get the adoption papers on the spot.
"As for me, I'm Mio." The silver haired girl introduced herself, and given how she's standing next to Jack, I'm gonna say she's <Deus>, can someone explain to me how the living joke managed to get the most powerful spirit here?
"So...why is Origami and some AST lady here?" I asked, wondering how on Earth these two got here in the first place.
"Apparently Origami is the spirit known as <Angel>." Kokushibo didn't miss a beat, and nearly used [Water Gun] out of shock. "As for the woman, her name is Ellen, and I defeated her, so I believe she's one of us now."
"You catch on quick." I joked with a small laugh before examining the small space craft. "So what's the deal with this thing?"
"I found it next to Mukuro, and she brought it along with me." Free answered, which is odd, I don't recall seeing another spacecraft in me or Haruka's research. "Say, Mukuro, did you make this thing, it's hella sturdy!"
"No, I found it when I went to space." Mukuro answered, very odd indeed. "I decided to stay by it since I had nowhere else to go."
"This ship looks like it was made with advanced notes by three...no, two people who had no idea what they were doing." I examined the ship, but the more I examined it, the more familiar to me it was, but I've never seen a ship like this.
"How could you tell?" Jihan asked as he helped me look around the ship. "This ship looks pretty advanced."
"Yeah, but the welds and bolts look like they were made in a hurry, and some of the parts are uneven, indicating a lack of professionalism." I became an expert on technology and machines while building my robot army. "Wait a minute, there's a date on here..."
"What does it say?" Jihan asked as I looked carefully at the metal, but it couldn't have been correct.
"The date is eight years from now?" I answered, how could this have been possible, if anything, this rocketship looks like it's hundreds of years old. "Plus this thing is incredibly old, and was clearly made to stay in space for thousands of years."
"There's a hand scanner on the side here, I tried it but my hands were too small." Mukuro pointed out a hand scanner, so I put my hand against it and to my surprise, it worked.
The scanner glowed (f/c), signaling it was scanning my hand before the light died down. There were sounds of moving machinery inside, causing all of us to move back a bit to examine the machine. Some of the folds opened up, releasing some kind of gas, Carbon Dioxide from what I can tell. Something was alive in there, but what it was is a mystery for now. The main glass hatch opened up slowly and dramatically, causing more Carbon Dioxide to get released from the ship. The hatch opened up more to reveal a little girl, around Natsumi's age with red hair sitting there. It looks like she was just waking up, and she was wearing very old looking pajamas, they were almost entirely in rags, yet she remained the same age. Luckily, the clothes were just enough for us not to get arrested by the FBI, but the girl was still waking up. When she opened her eyes, she panicked about something and looked at me for a moment before smiling brightly.
"Uncle (Y/N)!" The girl jumped at me and engulfed me in a hug, who was she? "Where's Daddy?!"
"I have a brother?!"
"That's your takeaway from this situation!?"
(A/N: So bad news, this company in Japan is copywriting anything shonen jump, which includes Jojo, Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, and more. Fanart and fanfics will likely see legal results if this law goes global, which is somehow even worse than Disney. My solution? Idk, protest or destroy the company in any way possible. While I don't condone murder, I do condone sending a message. By the way, on this chapter's subject, no, the girl from Shelter is not from the future, I promise you, I'll explain everything.
