Reaction to Luffy

Luffy's Determination

-----

The lights were lit, everyone was doing their own stuff. The anonymous person walked closer to the floating cloud, where Lola was laying with hands under her head.

"Confused, aren't we?" They asked. Lola opened her eyes and turned to look at them.

"What do you want? I am not in the mood..." Lola tsked. They only smiled a little.

"Why don't we try to show them something more of his determination?"

"What do you mean?" Lola sat up.

"Here." The person took out a disk. It was a little damaged, clearly an old memory.

"Hmm..." Lola took it from them. She glanced back at them and huffed. "Okay, only because I don't know what to show them anymore, but I still need to get as many solutions as I can get." She sighed and got out of her cloud to put the disk in the projector.

"Lola-san." Robin appeared behind her.

"Ahg! Don't appear like that, scary..." Lola jumped.

"I'm sorry, but I saw you talking with someone and now you're walking to that thing I suppose somehow makes the video appear on the screen, right?" Robin placed a hand on her chin. The ferret sweatdropped.

"Yeah...It is like your den den mushi... . I am going to show you another one, tell them to get ready." Lola then walked away. Robin narrowed her eyes.

"Okay, guys, Let's watch another one!" Lola shouted and clapped her paws so now everyone was sitting where they were supposed to.

"Ugh I hate that!" Usopp exclaimed.

"Teleporting, it's amazing!" Chopper's eyes lit.

"What are we going to watch now?" Sabo asked the ferret.

"It will show you some old memory..." Lola answered. They were still confused but she turned back and it seemed that she didn't want to talk about it.

The screen lit. A scene that froze everyone. Mountain, snowstorm and some talking.

"Doctor...!" a very weak voice said.

"What...?" Some whispered.

"Doctor...!" Again. The screen went higher and they could see some people.

"What the hell, why are they on a mountain!" Marines exclaimed. Other people kind of dedicated what was going on, from the light talking to the scene itself.

"Doctor...!" A hand covered in blood appeared. The screen went down and people saw a horrific scene.

"Luffy!" Ace shouted, but not only him, people that cared for Luffy all were in shock for what they saw.

Then Luffy placed his hand on a mountain again, all covered in blood and red from the cold. Then his nails cracked and he very painfully slid down on a mountain.

"No!" Sabo and Ace shouted. Other people closed their eyes at the sight of such gore.

"Luffy..." Nami whispered with a hand over her mouth.

Luffy was still sliding and screaming from pain. His hand and nails were destroyed and bleeding so hard. His foot too, it was trying to stop his body from sliding more but it only caused him more pain. Luffy thankfully stopped.

"Ouch..." Some marines yelped.

Luffy looked up and down, he was holding another person in his mouth. He then again placed his hand on a higher part of the mountain.

"Please, Luffy, stop!" Some straw Hats exclaimed with tears in his eyes. The elders were shocked at the dedication Luffy was making. They couldn't say anything, only watching.

He started to climb again. Then the screen showed his exhausted face from up close.

"Hang on..." It was his mind, they could hear it. "We're almost there..."

People couldn't believe what they were seeing, such dedication and bravery...

The screen then showed Luffy's face, he looked clearly determined to save his friends.

"Don't die on me...!!" Again his mind. He placed his hand again and climbed higher. It closed up to show his bloody hand, reaching for the higher ground. Finally he saw the peak of the mountain and started to groan. He was determined to climb more, to save his nakama. The screen distanced and showed Luffy being very close to the peak.

"Only such little!" Ace was clenching his teeth.

He finally reached the peak with his hand and with the help of his feet climbed up. He let go of Sanji's shirt. He looked up with Nami on his back. The ice castle. The screen then faded, leaving people shocked to the end.

"Why was he so determined to save them?" Some random marine asked. He was met with glares from not only Straw Hat's but some marines too; Coby and Garp were silently glaring at the marine.

"It's not about why, but how..." Roger added. They looked at him. "How was he able to endure the pain?" He smiled lightly. Rayleigh glanced at his captain and smiled.

"Because..." Ace stood up. "Because it's Luffy." He climbed up the stairs and was met with glances from everyone. He finally got the courage to meet his stupid father.

"Oh..." Roger sweatdropped. Shanks and Rayleigh backed off a little, not wanting to be intertwined in family problems.

"Hello..." Ace crossed his arms. Roger blinked. He looked back and forth at his old mates and new people that were so shocked they couldn't say anything. He looked at Ace again. The latter narrowed his eyes and bent to the eye level of The Pirate King. "The Pirate King or I should say, Dad?" Ace raised his eyebrow, he hated saying that word. Roger's mouth opened really wide, when he said those words.

"EHHHHHH?!" He grabbed his head. "I am your dad?!" He was met with sighs from everyone.

"Gh..." Ace clenched his teeth at the stupidity of his father. "Yeah! And don't ya think I will accept you!" Ace shouted, gaining the attention again. Roger blinked again, he inspected Ace's face, he had freckles and looked really similar to him and Rouge.

"Ah...right." He looked down. Garp was observing the entire situation. His old rival finally met his son.

"I understand..." Roger nodded. Ace straightened up and huffed.

"But..." He started, Roger looked up at him. "I see that you like Luffy and everyone that likes Luffy will need to be accepted by me..." Ace crossed his arms. Sabo behind him on his seat giggled a little, knowing Ace, he wouldn't ignore someone who is amazed by Luffy. Everyone was kind of relieved by hearing it. Ace turned around and walked back to his seat. Ray and Shanks went back to theirs.

"How was it? Meeting your son?" Rayleigh asked. Roger sighed.

"Not what I was expecting..."

"Well, it's the last chance you know." Lola added. Then the realisation hit all of them. They are dead.

"We all can agree on one." Robin started.

"What?" Straw Hats turned to her.

"It's his determination."

"Right..."
