The Untold

Why Are We Here?

As the light faded Koby awoke to a pounding in his head. He would have thought he simply passed out for some unknown reason if it were not for the extremely powerful auras he felt around him. He was yanked out of his panic by some familiar careless laughter that caused him to pale quicker than the unknown enemies had.

-"BWAHAHAHAHA LOOK I TOLD YOU SENNY!! NOT BORED ANYMORE ARE YA?!"

-"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GARP WHAT DID YOU DO THIS TIIIMMMEEEE" an enraged Sengoku screamed in reponse. 

--GUARARARARA--  this single noise, a hearty laugh, jolted everyone present awake and fully to their senses. Half the 'crowd' was scared shitless (mostly the marines and wimpy pirates ;]), more were silent in shock, some were bawling their eyes out in happiness, and others, mainly one man, was desperately wishing he could retire.

The first to cut the tension was a very emotional Marco. "P..Pops?" he whispered as a question and a desperate plea. This broke the ice and the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates full on sprinted toward the giant Ex-Emperor. Marco too sprinted, well it was more flew, to the captain's arms with such force any marine or no-name behind the old man had to take a step back due to the shockwave.

"POPPSSSS"  was all that rang out through the mysterious... wait a minute... where are we? Marco froze. Pops-yoi I have no clue how or why you are here and I'm not complaining but where exactly is 'here'-yoi?" he managed to get out once he composed himself. 

-GURARARARA the old man laughed again, "Good question my son!" Whitebeard's voice boomed. "And brat," he added, "mind telling me about that new era you bet on now? Since I am dead and all" he finished with an amused look. 

"AKAGAMI NO SHANKS IS HERE??!!" shouted a terrified marine recruit. "DAHAHAHAHA, its been a while! Huh old man!!" just as the young yonko was about to beckon Ben and his beloved 'Hawkey' over a scream interupted. "WHERE THE HELL ARE WE AND WHERE IS OUR IDIOT CAPTAIN". The two powerhouses couldn't help but laugh when they saw a long haired orange-head (the color isn't quite as red as Shanks) screaming at two men who had bumps on their heads sitting below the shark-toothed girl. "Damn witch" the one with swords mumbled while the blonde one who was.. smoking? at a time like this? attacked the swordsmen screeching about how he insulted a woman and must "absolutely pay".

Before the chaotic crew could draw anymore attention to themselves a voice rang out. 

-"Helloo~" the voice chirped. Everyone snapped to attention and glanced around looking for the source of the voice. It seemed almost as if it came from no where but also everywhere at once. The source of the sound was not found but they did notice they were in some sort of a white void.

The floor looked almost like water and each step would send ripples through the clear reflective surface. The 'void' seemed to reach on forever yet in the middle of it, in front of the poor people gathered against their will, seemed to be a stage that was white as snow. The stage was empty and had a single microphone, unconnected to any sort of den-den mushi. Their was no background to the stage, no curtains, just a rectangle raised platform with a few steps leading up to it. Just when most were about to write off the phenomenon as simply hearing things the voice spoke up again. This time, with a body to accompany it.

A person covered in a deep blood red cloak appeared on the stage. Those with Haki were first to notice. Zoro and Sanji eyed the stage with a silent gaze which was all too rare for them. Kuzan fell back asleep on the floor while Kizaru muttered "scaary" under his breath. The former Strongest Man, Akagami, Mihawk, Ben and the rest of Red Force and the Whitebeard Pirates had a glint in their eye that was mostly curiosity yet not a single one dropped their guard. Akainu [the bastard (σ｀д′)σ], shouted "WHERE ARE WE PIRATE SCUMMM" to which many pirates and marines alike sweatdropped as they had no clue what the identity of this person was. However, the person didn't seem too offended as a low chuckle came from under the person's hood. "I suppose you all are wondering where you are and why you're here huh?" the person replied with a masculine smooth voice that had hints of a hidden coldness in it. Shanks took control of the situation and said, "I wouldn't mind knowing that myself mr..?" 

"Eris" the voice replied. "And the answer is simple, I want to show you all the future, and possibly a bit of the past!!" The man- no, Eris' face was the opposite of unreadable, in fact a smile that sent shivers down the spines of many, (half of the strawhats included) was spread wide across his face. 

And then, all chaos broke loose.
