Tales from Elseworld Vol.1

End of the Road

A/N:Thanks for the reviews:

Victoria Horn: I said it once I'll say it again, your reviews mean a lot. I don't really bother with reviews but it's well appreciated. I have an expectation that writing is thankless. So when I do receive one it makes my day, I know you can't see it but I smile like an idiot knowing there's at least one person that reads my stuff. If you were the only reader I'd be more than happy to write only for you, again thanks. It isn't my intention to make you skeptical of my work I'll try not to make you feel like that in the future.

XFangHeartX: Your review is much appreciated. I try and put my best foot forward most definitely. We can relate in that way in how we portray this pairing. I've always respected that you tend to go a different route than just limes/lemons in favor of developing a strong bond letting things play naturally in your original works as well as canon based material. It's what makes this particular pairing unique. Just know I'm a big fan of your work bud.

BkTalks22: Well this review is a lot less harsh than your last one. All kidding aside I'm just glad your taking the time to read my work and I hope you enjoy it because I ain't gonna stop. No, I will never kill off our favorite heroine so don't worry that was a particular circumstance and the only way I could make that story work. You got nothing to worry about friend.

As always enjoy the reading everyone.

"Alright so that's it then." Zoro said popping a cork of a sake drinking the day away. He couldn't wait to start the journey to Wano country. They were rightfully making their mark in the New World after their major landslide victory at Dressrosa. Having officially secured a formidable alliance under their belt the fruits of their labor began to finally show.

"Now that we're done with all this Poneglyph nonsense we can finally get goin." Kid cracked his neck to get loose, "Hey! Remember to copy the damn stone text from that ol' tramp's place!" Kid said lifting Apoo's right headphone disgusted at the party music the DJ was listening to. If he hadn't been in such a good mood he would've thrown the headphones on ground smashing them to pieces in order to provoke the stoic Apoo to spar.

"Yeah yeah go back to brooding Kid." Apoo said turning the music up louder ignoring red hair's profanity. Having spent years on the same ship with Kid their would be times he'd been forced to disentangle from meaningless fights, it was in red hair's nature to be a troublemaker.

"Now that our captain beat Doflamingo, liberated Dressrosa, and Cesar was successfully delivered and exchanged with Pekoms thanks to Capone we have a chance to take out two big birds with one stone but the difficultly will incline significantly." Law said coming to stand next to Luffy and Zoro. No one knew better than the surgeon that their next target Kaido was considered to be immortal among the common folk. Law surmised at Punk Hazard they had less than a thirty percent chance to succeed in assassinating the World's strongest creatures, and even with their latest victory the chances hadn't risen much.

"I can't wait till I get Kaido's head!" Luffy said not holding back contagious eagerness to get the mission started. It would be absurd to compare a warlord's power to that of an emperor, even the captain knew that. But it didn't stop his enthusiasm from spreading amongst the ranks trusting in Law's plans like he had so many times in the past. Hawkins reported that Kaido had suicidal tendencies and displayed bi-polar behavior on top of being a drunk—he was getting sloppy. It was their turn naturally to rebalance the world as the next generation.

"Oi Big Mom first, make sure you assassinate that overgrown hag." Zoro said drinking happily much to the annoyance of Bonney. She wasn't the biggest fan of the crew slacking off acting like they were headed to a vacation spot in a secluded gulf somewhere, she knew better than anyone that there can be no false steps now. The higher up the mountain the more treacherous the path.
