[PREVIOUSLY ON GAMER PIECE]

Silvers Rayleigh is sitting next to me sipping on a drink with a carefree smile. He looks to me, making me look at him.

"You were sent here by GAIA right?"

".....Whut?" I blink rapidly as my mind does not understand what Rayleigh just said. Gaia? Like the Gaia from the manhwa or the word Gaia which is used to describe Earth in many iterations of religions?

"Well, from your reaction, it seems that you are the prophesized one." My brain short-circuits again as Rayleigh shrugs before continuing to drink, leaving me in my own mind. I am a Prophesized one? AND Rayleigh randomly spoke about GAIA of all people.

Yeah, I must be stupid not to see how connected this is to each other.

"What did the Prophecy Say?" Rayleigh looks at me in surprise, and I wonder why. It seems that Rayleigh was surprised as to how fast I recuperated from him implying that he knows about me. He is impressed though.

"Wait, what Prophecy?" Robin looks at me in surprise, while I shrug at her. Rayleigh looks at Robin's expression and understands that I haven't told the others of my 'true' past. He looks at me, his amusement visible. I look amused too, the fact that I am prophesized to come to this world is hilarious to me.

Why?

Because Now, I have a reason to create more chaos. For some odd reason, I am getting addicted to creating chaos, no idea why.

"So, what does the "Prophecy" say?" I give air quotes to indicate that I am amused by the whole thing, and humoring Rayleigh. Rayleigh chuckles, but he doesn't answer though.Robin narrows her eyes, realizing that both me and Rayleigh know something she doesn't. She listens closely to the words coming out of Rayleigh's mouth.

"When the Third World Begins

Gaia will not stay silent

Someone knowing the world will wreak havoc

Havoc which will make the Sun god laugh

Havoc which will bring Harley the truth

Ctrl W-A-S-D, Ctrl S and Ctrl N."

I blink, confused at the last part. All the other parts, I understand, but the last two, it sounds familiar, but how it is connected with everything else, I don't know. As I am contemplating, Robin starts dissecting the prophecy.

""Someone knowing the world will wreak havoc", meaning that someone with the knowledge of the world will cause havoc. Which is what you are doing." Robin looks at me, making me smile at her. She narrows her eyes once again, but continues trying to decipher the entire thing.

""Havoc that will make the Sun god laugh", the Sun god was Nika-" Robin snaps her head towards Luffy, who perks up as he notices Robin look at him. I grin as she figures it out, even I figure out what the last two sentences say.

Rayleigh looks towards Luffy as well, his eyes widen as he has a grin.

"Hahah-HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Rayleigh grabs onto his stomach as he laughs hilariously, realizing that Luffy is NIKA, or at least the one who ate Nika and became the 2nd Joyboy.

"Oh, Roger, you will die laughing at this." After laughing his heart out, he looks up, chuckling a bit. He looks towards me, and I grin. He grins too, both of us easily understanding each other's thoughts.

"Hey Old man, why are you laughing?" Luffy asks with a smile, and that Smile...makes Rayleigh notice something. He sees the hat, and that smile, and he remembers THAT person-

Roger.

"Nothing. It's just an inside joke." Rayleigh remembers his old days, and how he used to answer his captain when he wanted to manipulate his captain into doing something for him.

"Oh, what is that?" Rayleigh chuckles at Luffy's response, seeing so many similarities between Roger and Luffy. He remembers Shanks saying how there was a kid in the East Blue who said the same dream as Roger.

"Nothing." Rayleigh shakes his head, turning to the bar and drinking his drink, reminiscing about his past. The fact that Roger wanted to meet the person who is now in front of him, AND wearing his hat? Roger would die from laughing from the irony.

Shakky brings us food and notices Rayleigh's expression. Knowing him the most in the world (Alive that is), she changes the subject.

"So, what are you guys planning to do now? From what I have heard, the crew is split up." Shakky makes conversation, and Hatchi, who acts like he remembered something immediately, gets up and talks to Rayleigh about it.

"Oh Ray-san, could you coat their ship? I promised to help them after they saved Camie and Papaag from a Sea King." Hatchi looks pleading, but I look towards Rayleigh with a smile, having an idea. If I play it right-

Scratch that, I am confident that Rayleigh will help us with Ace.

"Well, first, we will pick up our crew from G-1 Marine Base, and then head to Marineford for the upcoming war that is about to be held-" As I try to explain my plan in a much convoluted way, Luffy interrupts me.

"We need to save my brother Ace." Luffy looks to Rayleigh in determination, which Rayleigh is surprised by. He didn't expect Luffy to have a brother, but the next words out of Luffy's mouth surprise him.

"Ace is your old Captain's son, old man, will you help us?" Rayleigh's eyes widen in shock, and I sigh. I wanted to make it a step-by-step process where I wanted to reveal Ace's heritage to Rayleigh as I explain my entire plan to him, and the crew.

I didn't give them the entire plan, and the entire crew is listening in right now, thanks to my trusty system.

"What? Portgaz D. Ace is Gol D. Roger's son?" Even Shakky is shocked at this. Robin, me, and Luffy know about this, but if Franky was here, he would have been shocked. Franky is currently getting us the Adam Tree wood from the black market, mostly stealing it.

"Yeah, he didn't like it when me and Sabo used to talk about Roger though. He used to hate his old man, don't know why though. Roger was a cool person in my personal opinion." As Luffy scratches his head as to remember WHY Ace used to hate his old man, Rayleigh drinks even more.

"So, back to our conversation. We need to go back to Marineford and save Ace. Will you help us with that?" I decide to come out directly, showing my intention. Rayleigh gulps another swing of his beer, before looking at me-

Really looking at me. His face is emotionless, so I cannot glean what his emotions are. So, I do what I normally do-

'Observe-'

Dark King

Silvers Rayleigh

Lv???

HP - ???

STR:- ???

VIT (HP):-???

DEX (AGI):- ???

INT:- ???

WIS:- ???

LUK:- 100

Rayleigh is the right hand of the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger. He was the first mate and sailed with Roger majority of his life, before retiring and marrying Shakuyaku, living in Sabaody Archipelago, working as a Coating Mechanic.

Emotions - Shocked, Amused, Happy.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Rayleigh starts laughing so hard that he slips from his seat, clumsily falling to the ground. The drink is spilled, but he doesn't care as he continues laughing, amused at the fact that Roger has a son, who is a pirate.

The same Ace he helped when Ace arrived at Sabaody years ago for coating. The fact that Ace hates his own father is extremely amusing to him. He remembers how Roger used to say that his own son will be the chosen child. Oh, the irony. Hell, Ace went on to serve under Newgate of all people.

He should have realized that Ace was Roger's son. Roger's trusty sword's name was Ace.

As Rayleigh laughs, he sheds some tears, remembering how Roger used to gloat about his child. He didn't know that Ace was THAT child. All of us stay silent as Rayleigh gets up from his laughter, looking towards me and-

Shakes his head?

"I can't. Roger never told us to save his son's life. Not only that, but this is not our era, so me stepping in to save Ace when he didn't ask for it, it's not something I want to do."

Dude what the fuck?

I knew that the old bastards don't actively involve themselves in this era because this is not their era, but not even being involved when your own captain's son is in danger? Rayleigh is basically his uncle, what kind of bullshit is this?

Whitebeard involved himself during the war in this era because of Ace. Garp HIMSELF was moving when Koby was kidnapped. Hell, even Rayleigh stood up to Blackbeard for Boa, so why the fuck does he not do the son of his captain-

"Oh, okay then." Luffy nods like it is not a big deal, and for the first time ever, I am pissed off at Luffy's attitude. While I am calm on the outside, I am searching for a logical answer as to not use Armament Haki to punch Luffy

.

"I don't owe Roger anything. Hell, he owes me way more. Hell, even if I were to help you guys in saving Ace, Ace CHOSE his own path, leading to where he is. I don't know him personally, and I have no reason to save him." Rayleigh sits in his chair and sips his drink, but his words piss me off.

It might seem that I haven't adapted to this world's logic. Like, if I had a friend and my friend's son was on death row, I would do everything I can to save him. But seeing Luffy accepting Rayleigh's logic makes me hopeless. As much as I want Rayleigh to be part of the war, if Luffy decides not to have Rayleigh accompany us, I cannot object to it.

This was the condition of joining UNDER Luffy. As much as I can act like the captain of the crew, giving instructions, making plans, letting the others follow me, Luffy will be the captain at the end of the day. I try not to sigh, as I turn to look towards Shakky with my acting on.

"My plan is-"

As I explain my plan, everyone's, including Luffy's, eyes widen. I assume that the others who are captured are also having an "eye widen"-ing moment, which is entirely true as the entire crew has their jaws dropped, even Robin, the most composed one. Luffy is the only person who isn't having a "jaw dropping" moment, but even he is shocked.

I mean, with the way my plan is going to unfold, literally everyone in this world is going to remember it. It is going to be even more chaotic than the original. Hell, it is going to be as chaotic, if not more, than the first Livestream that showed the threat of the Strawhats and how the World Government is not as it is shown.

This plan was in the makings since I received the quest to save Ace, which was over 6 months ago. Damn, that much time passed?

"....You do understand what you are doing right?" Shakky narrows her eyes at me, and I nod, smiling.

"Sengoku wants a war, so I am going to give him a war." Rayleigh chuckles at this, but Shakky glares at him. He immediately shuts up. Ah, the infamous wife glare, capable of turning the husband into a dog. She turns that glare to me, but I don't budge, still smiling.

"You know the consequences of it are-"

"I don't care. My captain wants me to figure out a way to free Ace, and that is what I am going to do. I don't care if the whole world gets destroyed or something." Robin looks at me in surprise, but that surprise turns into exasperation as she sighs with an amused smile, like she expected me to have such a wacky plan.

"...Fine, do whatever you want." Shakky sighs, giving up. Luffy and Rayleigh chuckle, before looking at each other and then laughing together like old friends. I chuckle too, as Robin and Shakky have an exasperated smile on their face.

"Yo-Yo!! Rai, got the SUPERRR Adam Trees. We should start building it, as a commotion is going on in the Groves, especially after you killed 3 Celestial Dragons. We need to hurry!!" As mentioned, Luffy and Robin are notified by Franky that he has procured the Adam Trees, all of us get up.

"Thanks for the hospitality Rayleigh and Shakky. It is time we leave though, as we have the materials for the ship." I turn towards the door, disappointed that we didn't get help from Rayleigh. If I am being honest, there is a nagging feeling that I have been having since I met Rayleigh, as the fact that Rayleigh is so important to Luffy's growth.

If because of me, it is somehow messed up, I will have the responsibility to train him up to the level he will be in canon after timeskip. The only knowledge I have of Haki is through the canon and my own skills, but the intricacies of Haki is something only an experienced user of Haki, like Rayleigh can-

"Hey Rayleigh, could you do me a fav- no, two favours?" Why the fuck am I thinking about Rayleigh teaching Luffy? I can teach him myself. Plus, with the Party system, Luffy can learn Haki much faster. I only need the intricacies FROM Rayleigh, the rest I can explain.

"Sure, what's up?" Rayleigh looks amused, which makes me smile too.

"Can you give me a note of what Haki is and how it works, including its advanced forms and how those work?" I summon a notebook and a pencil, giving it to Rayleigh who is surprised by them appearing out of thin air. Rayleigh looks at the notebook for a second before taking it in his hands, accepting my request.

Nice, now for the other request. Rayleigh is the one who told me a couple of minutes ago that I am destined to cause Chaos. So why not ask him for some support in order to cause Chaos.

"My second favour is-"

—-------------------------------------------------------------------

"Are you sure about this?" As I take Franky with me to my Dungeon, he asks for verification on my plan. I nod, serious. He looks at my eyes for a second before sighing loudly.

"Fine....but if we are doing this, We are going to be Making it SUPERRR!!!" Franky goes from serious to energetic, making me grin. My head has so many ideas for a ship, and that is increased when I absorbed Iceberg, gaining his skillset. Iceberg is as good of a shipwright as Franky, so with me having his skills, I am asking good.

"Oh, yeah. One sec!" I take out Merry from my inventory, and she immediately locks onto the Adam Trees, looking at it in wonder. Both me and Franky smile at her, easily understanding that she is excited about the ship.

"So, it will take-"

"10 days, especially with the blueprints. We both need to create new blueprints to add all the adjustments that the crew needs. Including my own adjustments that I told you before. With both of us working, we can reduce the workload by half." Franky looks at me in surprise, making me smirk at him.

Franky smirks too, puffing his chest with pride before turning and walking towards the Adam Trees, making me follow behind him. The ship is going to be big, and it seems that Franky gathered sufficient wood for that.

I mean, if the ship is created using the blueprints of Pluton that Franky has, it is gonna be bigger than any other ship in existence.

—-------------------------------------------------------------------

"It is finally done!" Me, Franky and Merry all come out of the dungeon, cracking our necks. Luffy and Robin look at us, as for them, it has been a second, for me, Franky and Merry, it has been 8 days.

Yeah, we saved 2 days as Merry surprisingly started helping us. Her help was really needed, as she was able to feel the exact way the parts were supposed to go. Her references allowed us to level up our skill, mine being literal. I thankfully packed food from Shakky before entering, so we didn't have any problems.

Merry mostly hung out with us, but she also went to a Monster Dungeon for the past 8 days, leveling up a little bit while exploring her new powers. I helped her as well while I was creating the ship-

and about the new ship-

"WOAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Luffy exclaims in wonder as he stretches his neck (NOT LITERALLY BTW) to look at the ginormous ship that I just summoned out of my inventory to put it in the waters of Sabaody. The ship is bigger than the Canon Thousand Sunny. It is as big, hell, even bigger than Moby Dick of the Whitebeard Pirates, rivaling the ship of the Giant Pirates.

The battleship has a similar design to Thousand Sunny, especially the docking systems, but there are more massive changes to it than in canon. First, there isn't a lion head as the figurehead, but a huge Straw Hat made out of Adam Wood. As a reference, it is as big as a football stadium.

The entire ship as well as rooms are made of gold, which allows it to be conducted by lightning. Due to me already having Enel's ship, Ark Maxim. But, rather than it being shining due to gold, it is shining...due to it being completely red.

(IMAGE HERE)

Luffy for some odd reason wears red as his style, so me and Franky emulated that as the ship's colour scheme. Not only that, but the ship has some...unique features that are ALSO inspired by Luffy. I mean, this ship is made for Luffy after all. (AN:- I just realized, the MC is glazing Luffy.)

There are more docks than what Thousand Sunny would have, and while the original are still there, there are new ones as well. I made sure we have AT LEAST three compulsory ones. One is where the ship turns into a submarine through the use of hardened glass, allowing a great view of the ocean whenever we use it to dive.

The second is Boosters. Through the use of my Lightning Manipulation. Whenever I send lightning into the ship, it will supercharge it and explode outwards, sending us flying. It is basically Coup de Burst but with steroids. The last, and my favourite of the docks-

Flying — by having long oars come out of the ship, along with using Jet Dials that I acquired from Ark Maxim. The blueprint is taken inspiration from both Enel's ship, the Ark Maxim, and "The Golden Lion" Shiki's ship, the island ship from the movies.

As I think about Shiki, I remember Zephyr telling us about how Shiki is amassing an army. The fact that he hasn't made a move is both beneficial to me, and it is to my disadvantage. Once he makes a move, I will have a clue about whether Shiki will be like the movie, or not. If he is like in the movie, I can salvage something, but if he is completely unpredictable, then I can't do shit.

Thinking about Shiki also makes me think about everything that has happened — from creating a plan to defeat Crocodile in one fell swoop rather than having Luffy fight him three times—

Oh, and about Crocodile, he got his title as a Warlord revoked after his defeat against Luffy. According to Robin, a similar thing happened with Hanafuda, who was a Warlord defeated by Ace. Hanafuda is the father of Page One and Ulti of the Beast Pirates. The dude was defeated by Ace, it seems.

— As I was thinking, to somehow having Zephyr chase them, destroying Enies Lobby and revealing the truth to the world. Things have changed but things have remained mostly the same. But after my plans are successful, the world is going to change massively, to the point that Post-Timeskip knowledge might not be of much use, except for some.

Blackbeard still is elected as a Warlord after he defeated Ace like in canon, due to there being a vacant spot. That means that Blackbeard will still go to Impel Down during the war to free prisoners—

Wait, Impel Down. Shit, I forgot about Jinbe being trapped in there. Brook is already missing from the crew, the same cannot happen to Jinbe. Initially, I wanted to split the crew so that I could go to Impel Down, but the crew persuaded me otherwise, but now, I need to—

"So, what should we name the ship, Cap'n?" Franky looks at Luffy, making me snap out of my brainstorming session. Luffy looks at the ship, opening his mouth for some nonsense—

"Think about it for a minute. Me and Franky had 8 days of continuous working to finish this ship, so—" as I try to finish, something gets stuck in my mind, like an epiphany or something.

Me AND Franky—

Of course, I don't need to go to Impel Down, I can just send someone. I am not alone in this, I have the entire backing of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, and I have just the person whom I should make use of.

"Hmmmmmm...." Luffy closes his eyes in concentration, before opening them and really looking at the ship. I look at it too and remember the details at which me and Franky discussed it. The biggest issue about making such a big ship was that it cannot be used by humans properly, but me and Franky circumvented that by adding boosters.

We also added an interesting thing in the mast, which would allow the ship to move in different directions when at intense speed. It has a power supply, which is generated through the use of hydropower. A big generator, easily the size of Merry, is inside one of the rooms, so when the ship moves through water, the kinetic energy from the water is used to run the generator.

The generator then runs, creating lightning, which is used for boosters. Not only that, but all three docks can be used simultaneously, so we could cover the ship with glass, and fly in the sky like a rocket thanks to the boosters. We have also created a device to generate oxygen, through the process of electrolysis. Electrolysis is the process of using electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.

That device is named an electrolyzer, connected to the hydro generator. We have a total of three hydro generators, one for each booster — a total of three boosters actually. Hell, we even have a system where all three boosters—

These are just the tip of the iceberg about the ship. Having access to the internet really helped with the making of this awesome ship, and Franky agrees with me.

"The ship is red, like a fire. So, it's Inferno—" Luffy stops, before looking at the ship, especially at the figurehead, representing his straw hat.

"...Dante's Inferno."

I blink, surprised at the name. If I remember correctly (and yes, I fact-checked it!), Dante's Inferno is a game based on the novel Inferno, where a character named Dante travels the circles of hell with a poet named Virgil—

Everyone feels the ship shivering, as if the entire ship is reacting to the name. Merry's eyebrows widen in shock, and she looks towards the ship.

"It-it likes the name," Merry speaks in awe, making me and Franky look at her in shock. We knew that she could speak to ships, but when we were building the ship — I mean, Dante's Inferno — Merry never heard any voice from the ship.

Did the name give it life—?

"Nice. Dante's Inferno, you are the ship of the Future King of the Pirates, the Strongest Swordsman, the person who is going to draw the map of the entire world, the person who is going to find All Blue, the person who is going to be a Brave Warrior of the Sea, a Doctor who can cure everything, a man who wants to create as much Chaos as he wants—"

I blink, surprised. I know that Luffy is stating everybody's dreams, but where the hell did he get that I wanted chaos? Hell, even I don't know my dream, except making Luffy the Pirate King. Now that I think about it, what is my dream—?

"—An Okama who wants to show the world the strength of Okamas, an archaeologist who wants to know the truth of this world, two Shandorians who want to explore the world which was hidden from them, a ship who wants to fight with us, a man who wants his ship to go all around the world. Are you okay with that?"

Luffy has a wide grin on his face, and the grin is so contagious that all of us also grin—

*ROARRRRRRRRR*

A demonic (I don't know what else to call that) roar screeches from Dante's Inferno, and all of us get shocked. All of us look towards one another, confirming if we all heard it. All of us look at the ship, and if possible, the ship feels... powerful, like it has a dream now.

"D-Dante's Inferno is ready to bring all of us to our goals, whatever happens." Merry communicates, her eyes widened in wonder.

All of us—

Grin, excited.

Even the crew in G-1 Base, who are listening to everything and viewing the situation through the Party System, are also grinning.

"Let's go explore the ship!!" Luffy jumps in excitement, making Franky show Robin and him the way, Merry following both of them. As I walk behind, I stop, resuming my previous thought process before things went kinda chaotic.

I remove a Transponder Snail, before ringing a particular number. I let it ring, and as the snail is picked up on the other end, I wear a grin—

"Hey Foxy, I have an important job for you."

—--—-------------------------------------------------------------------

For an entire hour, me, Merry, and Franky show the ship to Luffy and Robin, along with the rest of the imprisoned crew through the Party System. As we get near the deck (similar to Going Merry, having grass and stuff), we talk about setting sail, but—

Me and Luffy snap our heads towards Sabaody, sensing something immediately. Both of us look at each other, and Luffy nods at me, signaling that he sensed it too—

*ROAAARRRRRRR*

All of us look towards the roaring, and see—

A giant, monstrous dog with three heads, sharp teeth, lolling tongues, and spiked dog collars around each of its three necks rushing towards the ship with insane speeds, almost too fast for even me. Before anyone could do anything, it slams into the ship, making the ship rock back and forth.

"YOU BASTARDDD!!!" Luffy screams in rage, surprisingly summoning the inventory and putting his hand into it, taking out one of his Rumble Balls. He pops it into his mouth as he uses Soru to rush towards the edge of the ship and jump towards the dog—

No, it is a Cerberus.

Luffy takes on a reddish tint, his hair flowing into a pinkish/reddish tint, with smoke coming out of his mouth, surrounding his body like an awakened Zoan fruit, which is the same smoke as the Cerberus.

"Franky, initiate Route R." I give Franky a command, and after shaking off the shock, Franky nods, immediately rushing inside of the ship, to the control center.

"What is happen—" As Robin starts to speak, a glass immediately covers her, which comes from the deck. Robin is shocked as to what happened, but I don't look at her, instead looking above in the sky, waiting for some 'people' to come to us.

"HITO-HITO NO - JET PYTHON!" Luffy has smoke around his body as he shoots his hand at Cerberus, who dodges with insane speed. All of the punches are dodged, but Luffy's punches ricochet out of the air and target the damn dog, taking the dog further away from the ship.

I take out my Seven-Star sword, lighting it on fire as I can clearly see two people standing on a bird made out of something.

'An arrow.' I realize who they are, I mean, it is simple enough since I have read the latest Chapters. The bird is made out of white strips, easily able to be told due to the bird looking hollow.

I look at the passengers of the bird, a young woman of average height, having light hair and appearing to have a dark right eye, and a light left one.

I jump into the air using Geppo, changing the hot red flames into a greenish smooth flame, as I eye the second person who is with the woman—Gunko being her name.

A tall man of lean, muscular stature, sporting long hair arranged in a small braid to the left side of his head and some facial stubble. Wearing a regal ensemble consisting of a high-class military tailcoat fastened with frog closures, a pair of light trousers (with dark straps on the left thigh), dark gloves, thigh-high metallic boots, and a cravat wrapped over his neck. He keeps a saber over his left hip, held in place by a shoulder belt.

The most important thing is that this person is wearing a black robe, and Gunko is wearing the same thing.

"THE FUCK-!" Luffy screams in shock, pointing at the person who is on the bird.

Figarland Shamrock.

THE END
