Plot
Born to a mercenary and a village girl in Brazil in the year 1940 whom soon abandoned her, Victoria's entire life has been of war. A child soldier from an early age, she was long since used to killing and battle by the time she turned 8. It was at this age however that she was captured by a strange blonde man who sought healthy children for some unknown purpose. This man was Major Montana Max, the leader of Millennium and he was gathering subjects for the Doctor's experiments. In this time, Victoria would be subjected to horrifying experiments, the first successful prototype of the treatment that one Walter Dolneazz would later be rushed through, though she did not yet know how to use the full extent of this power. The Captain of Millennium, Hans, would take pity on her and passed on his powers to her to allow her to escape.

 Fleeing from her home country, she would soon take up work with various mercenary companies, using her newfound powers to good use. While her powers made her an unbelievably deadly soldier, she seemed to be followed by bad luck wherever she went. Again and again, her comrades would be killed or would discover her powers and fear her, not at all helped by her inability to communicate verbally. Soon she began to become as cold on the inside as she seemed on the outside.

 Victoria spent two and a half decades wandering the world, selling her services to various warlords or third world countries, for she had little desire to put her mind to anything else, especially with the inherent bloodlust her lupine nature gave her. However, it was at this time (The official beginning of the jump) that she met the Wild Geese mercenaries. They were searching for new recruits to replenish their numbers and hired on Victoria as one such soldier.

 For 9 years, Victoria would serve as a member of the Wild Geese. Not only would her new comrades survive, they would also come face to face with her supernatural nature and not shun her. As the years passed, she grew close to her new friends and would rise in rank till she served as the second in command to Captain Bernadotte. Overtime, Victoria would start to become attracted to Bernadotte, though she wouldn't understand these feelings and would thus bury them inside her. In 1999, the Wild Geese would be hired by the Hellsing Organisation as a security detail.

 Once there, Victoria encountered other supernatural beings for the first time, in the form of the vampires Alucard and Seras Victoria. The Wild Geese already having experience with the unnatural, their appearance and the subsequent vampire hunts went over far more smoothly. When she saw the growing attraction between Pip and Seras, she started to grow jealous. Soon, Victoria, Pip and the two vampires would be sent off to Brazil to hunt down the first traces of Millenium, though they did not know the name at the time. Once there, Victoria was split off from the others, Alucard hunting down the police and Tubalcain, Seras hiding and Pip sneaking off to attack the corrupted officials in charge. In the back streets of Rio de Janeiro, she would once again meet Hans, the werewolf captain of Millennium. They had a brief battle, but Victoria was unable to overpower the larger and older werewolf, being forced to retreat, though Hans made no attempt to chase her down.

 Her suspicions of this organisation being the same as the one that turned her were confirmed upon their arrival back at London, where the Major would announce his presence to the round table, acknowledging her with a small smile. A few days later, Millenium launches their attack on London.

 During the battle, Victoria lets loose amongst the forces of both the Letz Battalion and the Holy Knights, tearing through hundreds of vampires and paladins in her wolf form. She desperately attempted to get back to the Hellsing mansion upon hearing of the attack, but even as fast as she was, she arrived only to find the Wild Geese slaughtered almost to a man. Finally finding her commander, she only managed to see the last kiss between Pip and Seras and her subsequent feeding before he died. Leaping on Zorin in a frenzy, she unconsciously activated the Heart of Darkness for the first time and tore the vampire to shreds before escaping back into the city.

 Unable to bear the sadness welling up in her, combined with the strain of the Heart on her body and mind, Victoria abandoned herself to her instincts and sought only to kill anything she saw. It was the reappearance of Hans that brought her out of her rage. He silently challenged her in the street to a final bout, before transforming fully. WHen they clashed this time, Victoria quickly began to beat him down, empowered by the unholy might of the Heart. Finally killing her predecessor, she too soon collapsed from her injuries. She woke up a few days later, Millenium and Iscariot having both been destroyed by her fellows.

 The Wild Geese had lost most of their members, deciding to go their separate ways. Victoria followed suite, unable to remain near the Hellsing Organisation. A few weeks later when she was moping away in a quiet forest, a light appeared around her and a voice offered a chance to go far away and see things she never had before. At the bottom of the barrel, Victoria accepted the offer and was swept off into the multiverse.





No More Heroes Jump

Origin
Batshit (-100)
-You may not have even realized you were recruited by the UAA, you crazy bastard. You live to kill for some reason, and you are mostly nonfunctional in society- but all worth it to have a body and mind conditioned and trained for killing relentlessly, eh?
Age- 21
Location- No More Heroes Hotel

Perks
Dose of Innocence (-0)
-You know how to feint and lure effectively- you can make someone think you’re wide open when really they fall right into your grasp. Keeping a hand on your weapon when you break down, getting a foot between their legs when you back against a wall, you can just keep people guessing as to when you’re actually down or vulnerable.

Pleather for Breakfast (-150)
-You still aren’t skilled, but you are really stronk when you let your emotions overwhelm you. Not just hissy fits mind you, they have to be full on ‘shit son calm the fuk down’ freakouts to gain benefit, but what you lose in technique and practice you gain in strength and rage. You could theoretically suplex a B-2 in half if sufficiently enraged. Yes, this synergizes with the anger given by Desperate Struggle, but the normal ‘functional’ anger you have all the time is not enough to trigger this to work.

The Otaku Cannot Resist (-300)
-You may be a psychopath but fuck if you aren’t a hot psychopath. Regardless if you’re actually flirting or telling your opponent you’re going to tear their balls off and dry them out as a trophy, they’re going to be distracted- and may even attempt to spare you if you made enough of an impact. If you aren’t completely insane, this also gives you pretty good sexual charisma.

Grasshopper.2 (-100)
-You now have a full soundtrack following you around, and always themed to you as a person so the playlist will sometimes swap in and out. In addition, this upgrades your boss theme- to you it sounds badass and may be one of your favorite tunes. To everyone else, it has the added effect of helping them see and understand who you are- your soul put into a CD player, in other words.

Trouble in your Virtual World? (-300)
-You just have an innate sense or talent for riling people up, as well as dealing with those that break from that. Your taunts are utterly infuriating, and you have a way to see what to say to get people to blow over and just go all-out berserker against you, allowing for reversals due to blind anger. You also become skilled in counters. This differs from You’re a Disgrace- you have to actually insult your foe for this to work.

You're a Disgrace (-100)
-You have an impeccable sense of dramatic timing, as well as acting lessons strangely enough. You show up at just the moment to make an impact, and all of your lines mean something now- even just spouting out random words you will make a connection to the fight.

Dark Side (-300)
-You’ve tapped into an unknown physical enhancement called The Dark Side. No relation to that side of the Force, your physical abilities are enhanced to be much more than they appear, and you can invoke strange effects sometimes. Dodge to the side, and suddenly everything goes dark and slow, allowing for multiple blows. Finish off some lackey, and you feel sometime spinning around in your head- sometimes ending with you feeling significantly more powerful for a bit afterwards. Choose one of the below for free, you may buy the others if you desire. You must say their name loudly in order to use one.
--Strawberry on the Shortcake (-0)
-You feel very powerful for a short amount of time. Your hair turns a bright color (default isSaiyan-yellow) and your weapon becomes overcharged with energy. Time dilates to the point where a bullet is travelling no faster than a crawling baby, and you can attack continuously as well as finish off foes easier. Fairly common, but never learn to rely on it.

Items
Fashion Hero (-50)
-No matter what you wear, you will manage to make it good somehow. Hell, wear a PWLBJ5 t-shirt with a pink jacket and matching tight jeans with pink and gold sunglasses with flags burned into the lenses. You’ll still be treated as if you’re serious.

IN IT TO WIN IT BABY! (+300)
-You aren’t leaving in 10 years. You have a new objective- Rank 1 Assassin, and it’s not going to be Sweet in the slightest.


Plot
Dropped into this new world, with a whole bunch of memories from an unstable serial killer, Victoria at first just hides away in bed trying to sort out her head. A few days in, she manages to wrangle them mostly under control, due to having more memories then the person she takes the place of. Exiting the motel, she at first does not believe she is in another world. A man running past with what seems to be a lightsaber does help her be a little more willing to believe.

 The world she finds herself in seems to be just slightly insane, if not comical. Over the top assassins, giant robots, lightsabers. Not to mention having a voice again after several decades of being mute. It all takes a bit of getting used to and so quite frankly, she hid. Fleeing from Santa Destroy, she spent years wandering the rest of the NMH world. It was during this time, as she fought against some of the madmen and women that populated the world, that she discovered the Dark Side. A strange power that could boost her to even higher speeds, but only by chance.

 Three weeks after she begins to journey, she recieves a message, telling her that she must become the Number One Assassin in Santa Destroy, from the same light that offered her this journey in the first place. Somehow knowing this was not a yes or no task, she reluctantly sets off for the city she woke up in.

 Her first target is Nathan Copeland, at the same time as Travis Touchdown slays Skelter Helter. Travis then kills Charlie Macdonald and his cheerleaders, leaving Victoria to attack Kimmy Howell in order to advance in rank. The fight is short and brutal, Kimmy being far from a match from the ruthlessly efficient mercenary that Victoria has become. Travis, having recieved the duel invitation, arrived in time to see Victoria slice Kimmy to bloody ribbons with her wires. Attacking her, the two fought a battle, with Travis managing to barely draw equal with Victoria through liberal use of the Dark Side powers. However, their battle was interrupted by Silvia, on the grounds that neither had scheduled the event with the UAA.

 They meet several more times over the course of the competition. After Travis battles Matt Helms, Victoria kills his child form to steal the ranking. Travis then returns the favour by tricking Victoria into Chloe Walsh's shackles while he kills Walsh. The two briefly team up to kill Letz Shake, during the battle royale, after which Travis questions Victoria's reasons for fighting. She tells him that she does it simply because that is what she has been tasked with, before shooting his own question back at him, leaving him silent.

 After this, Victoria meets Shinobu and starts to express her irritation with having to compete with so amny other assassins at once. The two briefly clash but a message from Silvia leads Victoria to exit in a huff, containing her anger. She does continue observing the girl however, and upon discovery of the fact that Travis spared Shinobu despite her trying to kill him in the previous game 3 years prior, she takes a closer interest in the man. After his battle with Ryuji, Travis returns home to find Victoria waiting in his motel room. She seems rather offput by the contents of his room, but upon seeing him, starts to interrogate him on his motives for fighting in the UAA. When he is unable to answer, she gets annoyed and plops herself down, refusing to leave until he finds an answer. Travis, attempting to ignore both Victoria and the comatose Henry, goes into his usual habits. Leaving in disgust, she later encounters Henry hunting assassins to repay travis.

 During this battle, her anger finally boiling over at encountering a third assassin to compete with, she uses Pleather for Breakfast for the first time, breaing a bridge in half with a suplex of Scott Gardner, before tearing apart both Greg Cantrell and Massimo Bellini in her wolf form. Henry quickly leaves after deciding things have gotten far too 'fucking insane' for him to deal with. Victoria then challenges Margaret Moonlight. While the battle itself is not particularly hard, as Victoria quickly brings Margaret down with her wires. When asked on whether she would remember her song, Victoria tells her that she cherishes every piece of music she hears, before quickly snapping her neck. Travis would take the next two targets, his battles with Vladimir and Alice Moonlight, resulting in his new conviction that the assassin game and the UAA are inhuman and to tear it all down.

 While the #1 spot is the only left for the two assassins to take, Travis calls Victoria for a meeting beforehand. He asks her if she still intends to go for the number one spot. She confirms it and tells him that she will kill him if he interferes. Instead of responding in kind, he tells her that he'll help her take the spot. Confused, Victoria asks if he is doing this as a trick or for revenge. Travis admits that while revenge is a big part of it, he wants to do this to stop the assassin games from ever continuing, because it is the right thing to do. Surprised, she nonetheless agrees to his idea and thus the two of them attack Pizza Bat HQ together. Easily breaking through the opposition, they meet up with Henry and face off with Jasper Batt Jr. They beat the 1st form easily enough, and Valeria unleashes her werewolf form to tear apart the 2nd form. They are all stunned by the sheer size of the final form however, and Henry decides to once again leave as things go too crazy for him. Turd.

 Victoria and Travis do defeat the giant Bat, using her wires to hold him in place whilst Touchdown bisects the giant. Catching Travis as he falls with her wires, she pulls him back up to the roof. Here, the two stand across from each other, Victoria readying for a last battle to take the number one title for herself. Travis though, tells her that she can have it, that it doesn't matter to him. He tells her it's just a title and that so long as no one dies for it, he doesn't care who holds it.

 Once again surprised by the man, she can do nothing but shake her head with a smile as the now familiar light surrounds her and whisks her off.

Part 1

The girl that would become Victoria was born in Loguetown, on the same day that Gol D Roger was executed, to former marine vice-admiral and his wife. Her childhood was full of hearing stories about brave marines fighting against evil pirates, saving the innocent and bringing justice to every island in the ocean. It was these stories that would put in a love of heroes for the girl, who had often been bullied for her abnormal size, and would eventually lead to her becoming a marine at the age of 20. Her father had secretly given her some training in Haki and Rokushiki, though with his failing health and the sparse number of lessons, she would only gain a month or two experience in them over the years. As she trained to enter the marines, she would eagerly study anything she could and would find a fair talent for navigation. Pasing her tests with flying colours, she would find to her mild disappointment, that she was assigned to be a marine at Loguetown itself. This would be the official beginning of the jump.

 For Victoria, coming straight from her last talk with Travis Touchdown, being bombarded with so many memories of someone in love with justice, considering her only other experience with these memories was a unstable,easily pushed down woman (Origin in NMH), was a hard to deal with experience. It influenced her much more strongly then the last had and the presence of a loving family was something too hard to ignore. While awkward and more then a bit nervous, Victoria found that being a marine in a relatively quiet town with people that cared for her and comrades that trusted in her, was a pretty alright experience. It was around two weeks in that a ship waving a straw hat flag arrived, though she was not on duty at the time. While Victoria herself could recognise this crew as pirates and the obvious thing to do would be to destroy them, her new memories and the words of Touchdown convinced her to give them a chance. However while she could ignore them, the same could not be said in reverse. Monkey D Luffy noticed the giant woman and in his usual manner, couldn't resist his curiosity in face fo something new and cool. Amongst the barrage of his questions, ones that would soon fluster the normally quiet Victoria, was asking her to join his crew.

 She refused of course and quickly left before he could bother her further. It was later that day that her mother would give her a sealed map, telling her it was a family heirloom that had been passed down and was reputed to lead to fabulous amounts of treasure and a devil fruit of extraordinary power, though the map itself was heavily encoded. This was overheard by her commander however, a greedy man who worked for a greedier man named Joker. A quick call on the den den mushi, along with the implication that it may lead to one of the fruits that Joker had been looking for, was all that was needed for the man to post a healthy 100,000,000 bounty on the girl and her family. Later that night, Victoria would be present at the attempted execution of Luffy by Buggy. Witnessing his seemingly act-of-god escape and his friends coming to save him, Victoria couldn't help but think he looked rather heroic, despite his piratical nature. She was split off from the chase after him however, by the orders of her captain, who called her into an alley where she was quickly surrounded by other marines. Revealing the bounty on her head and the name of the one who had placed it, Joker, he said he intended to kill her as he had her parents. Presented with the remains of the family her memories cared for so greatly, she went into a rage, using her powers combined with her Armament Haki to send the captain flying through several buildings. Realising the dangers of staying in a place now likely to consider her a wanted criminal, for one reason or another, she fled towards the docks in hope of finding an escape route. Her transformed states increased speed allowed her to reach it at the same time as the strawhats and, taking a leap of faith, she asked the captain if she could join his crew. Happily accepting, Luffy pulled her on and they set off.

 Finding the ship just a touch tight, she then met the rest of the Strawhat crew. Zoro seemed to care little beyond confirmation that the captain had asked her on, while Nami and Usopp both seemed wary of her marine uniform, until Luffy vouched for her. Sanji made his usual advances on the beautiful woman, causing the inexperienced Victoria to get more then a little flustered. Introductions over, she soon settled in on the ship, though still not really believing that she would stay on the ship long. As they approached Reverse Mountain and thus the Grand Line, the crew would announce their dreams. It was with the encouraging looks of the other crew that she would reveal her desire to become a hero. A meeting would then be held to discuss their entrance but the ship would drift into the Calm belt, forcing Victoria to dive into the sea and drag the ship back whilst pursued by a rather scary number of Sea Kings. They would encounter the whale Laboon on their way down, as well as be lured to Whiskey Peak by two agents of Baroque Works.

 Arriving at Whiskey Peak, they would be welcomed with a bountiful feast, one meant to lure them in and leave them defenseless to the many bounty hunters that were in waiting. Doubting the truth of the welcome they recieved but too hungry to take notice, Victoria would eat and drink her fill till the night came and she fell asleep. Awoken by the sounds of Zoro battling the 100 bounty hunters outside, she quickly cleansed the alcohol from her body and joined the attack, just in time to send Ms Monday flying as she stood over Zoro. Annoyed, the swordsman told her to find her own fight, which she readily ignored, and they both rejoined the fight. The two combined made ever shorter work of the 100 then Zoro would have alone. Luffy's awakening and belief that the two had attacked the town without reason led to a fight between him and Zoro. As they fought, Victoria would encounter Mr 5 and Ms Valentine and prevent them from attacking Princess Vivi. Mr 5's explosive power was insufficient to pass her durability and Ms Valentine's 10 ton weight was a level Victoria could easily lift, so her victory against the two was quick. Upon hearing of Vivi's plight, she heartily agreed to help, thus enraging the navigator still trying to extort the princess. However, with things explained the crew decided that they'd escort Vivi back to her home country, the factor of their faces having been recognised by the Unluckies totally not influencing them (Only Nami!). Igaram was killed attepting to be a distraction and the crew would meet Ms All Sunday, refusing her dubious offer of a safe route to Alabaster in favour of going to Little Garden.

 When they arrived at Little Garden, Victoria found herself racing off into the jungle alongside Luffy and Vivi, trying her best to help protect the princess if her rather reckless captain was unable to. It was there that she encountered two great shocks. The first was the appearance of freaking dinosaurs and the second was Dorry, a true giant over twice as tall as even her, and who claimed to be the strongest warrior of Elbaf. While unsure and a little exasperated at the instant trust her captain had in the giant, she did eagerly take up his offer of food. Dorry would soon leave to fight to a draw yet again with his fellow giant Brogy and would return with a barrel of rum supposedly from the rest of the Strawhats. This rum would explode within Dorry, causing him to beleive the crew had tricked the two giants and he went into a rage. Victoria would use a quick Shigan that combined with his internal injuries, knocked the giant out. Another duel would be called and Dorry left to fight, imprisoning Luffy under a rock to prevent him from stopping the duel. Victoria went to free her captain, but he yelled at her to stop the fight between the two giants. Rushing off to do so, she managed to interfere just as Brogy's blade fell, blocking it with a rankyaku. As she tried to talk the two giants down, Mr 3 would take advantage and bind all 3 of them in wax. When Victoria and the giants began to pull free, he impaled them to the ground with wax spears. Luffy and Usopp entered the battle then, fighting against Mr 3 and Ms Goldenweek as well as trying to melt the wax pillar that imprisoned the rest of the crew. As Luffy fought against Mr 3's candle robot, Miss Goldenweek decided to use one of the Strawhat's crew against them. Painting an Angry Apricot coloured circle on her face, she sent Victoria into a wild and uncontrolled rage. However, the young girl was unaware of just how much power Victoria would gain as she turned into her werewolf form and sent her flying, before turning on the next biggest target of Mr 3. The candle mech briefly held her back but fell as the Heart activated and boosted her strength even more. The crew began to celebrate until Victoria turned on them as well, attacking with no regard to her friends lives, though luckily the blind rage rendered her unable to use Haki or the Six Paths. It was only with the help of the two giants that they were eventually able to hold her down for just long enough to wipe off the paint marking. Horrified at what she had done, she began to apologise but was stopped by a smack to the head from Luffy who told her that as long as she was a part of his crew, she didn't need to say sorry for things that she couldn't control. This acknowledgement of her place in the crew caused her to maybe start to have a happy cry and she thanked her friends around her. Calming down, eventually, they gathered together and Sanji explained his talk with Mr 0 and showed them the Eternal Log Pose he had collected. Setting sail from Little Garden, they watched as the Elbaf Giants revealed their true power, destroying a massive Sea King with a single blow each and allowing them to sail straight on freely.

 As they sailed on to Alabaster, Victoria would explain to the rest of the crew about her true nature as a jumper, as they'd all seen her werewolf form, and told them about her own past. Explaining how she'd grown up in Hellsing, the powers she'd gained there as well as her experiences in the world of NMH and finally her 'birth' in this world and what she had gained from that. This time, when the crew accepted her past, while being a little confused and amazed, she was just happy instead of shocked. After she finished, Zoro questioned her more on what Haki and Rokushiki were, so she explained what she knew to the rest of the crew and said that while she knew not much of either, she'd be willing to try teaching what she knew to them. However, as she began Nami collapsed with a high fever. Forced to search for an island with a doctor, Victoria would temporarily take up the position of Navigator and act as a substitue for Nami, though the ship's speed was reduced because of this.

 On their way to find a doctor, they ran into the ship of King Wapol, who boarded them and attempted to eat the ship. Luffy sent the man flying whilst the rest of the crew cleared off the various Wapol Pirates. Soon they arrived at Drum Island, where the crew was forced to wear protective clothing. Very nearly attacking the villagers that appeared to stop them from entering, it was only Vivi's quick diplomacy that stopped the crew attacking and let them into the village. Once it was revealed the only doctor on the islandwas at the top of a steep mountain, the crew decided to set off for there. Victoria transformed into her wolf form, shocking even Dalton with it's sheer size, before carrying Sanji and Luffy with Nami tied to his back on her back. Setting off at a sprint, they would soon encounter a herd of Lapin, which Sanji would leave to attack, eventually returning to the village below. Victoria raced up the side of the mountain, using Soru and her own bodily control to keep as close to the cliff face as possible and away from the bitingly cold winds. She reached the top, but not before both Luffy and Nami had collapsed from the cold. Standing guard over them as a figure approached, it revealed itself to be Dr Kureha and offered to treat the two injured humans. As the two are taken care of, Victoria meets a talking reindeer named Chopper. While initially terrifired of the massive wolf, he calms down somewhat as she transforms down and seems to believe that she too is a zoan devil fruit owner. He then tells her about his past after she inquires on what he is, at the same time as Dr Kureha tells Nami and Luffy inside. However, during this time Wapolhas climbed up to retake his former castle. He attempts to destroy the flag flying atop the castle, which Luffy protects, and the two battle each other briefly, before Luffy claims victory. Victoria assists Chopper in winning against the servants that came with Wapol, amazed at the power of the little reindeer's rumble balls. Chased of by Kureha,the crew gathered on Victoria's back and sprinted down the mountainside. As they sailed off, they witnessed the snow turned into sakura and Chopper gave his farewells.

 As they continue on their way to Alabaster, Usopp accidentally fishes up an okama, Mr 2. The man, true identity as yet unknown, quickly befriends most of the crew with antics and devil fruit power that allows him to transform into others. He turns into every crew member except Sanji, Vivi and Victoria. It is revealed after he leaves that he was truly Mr 2 and the crew wraps white bands around their wrists with X's under them to tell who is real or not. They reach Alabaster, landing in Nanohana where they encoutner Luffy's brother Ace and Captain Smoker once again. Ace saves Luffy from Smoker and later briefly meets the rest of the crew on the Going Merry, handing Luffy a Vivre card before leaving. Sailing to the other side of the delta, they journey into the desert. They encounter various strange animals on their way, including dugongs who do kung fu, thieving birds, giant lizards and perverted camels who foolishly try to give half giants piggy back rides (Poor Eyelashes). They also pass through Erumalu, seeing the devastation the droughts have brought to once lively towns. They soon enough reach Yuba, the supposed Rebel hideout, but find it has been abandoned as the rebel's moved closer to the capital of Alubarna. Here they meet Toto, the father of Kohza, who both leads the rebellion and was Vivi's childhood friend. They stay the night and discuss their next destination in the morning. While Vivi wants to Alubarna, Luffy reveals his much more serious nature as a captain for the first time to Victoria's eyes and confronts her with the hard truth that they cannot help the country by stopping the rebels, only be going to Rainbase and stopping Crocodile will they save Alabaster. Reluctantly agreeing, Vivi leads them on.

 They arrive in Rainbase, running into Smoker and Tashigi, causing them to chase after the crew. Deciding to split up and try to escape, most of the crew as well as Smoker and Tashigi would be lured into a trap by crocodile and trapped within a seastone cage. Only Sanji, Chopper and Victoria would avoid this fate, the first two working to help free the others by tricking crocodile and then using the imprisoned Mr 3's wax powers to free the others, then escaping through a water tunnel. The straw hats head off to Alubarna, Smoker deciding to repay them by not pursuing and orders his men to Alubarna to assist the kingdom instead. However, to prevent Crocodile from grabbing Vivi, Luffy stayed behind. Luffy and Crocodile would battle after this, Luffy barely lasting 3 minutes, as he couldn't affect Crocodile's Logia body, before being impaled on the Shichibukai's hook and thrown into quicksand, where he would be saved by Miss All-Sunday who leaves him in the hands of Pell, a palace guard. Victoria however, was lured to the outskirts of rainbase, where a marine awaited her. Introducing himself as Vergo, he was passing by and decided to pick up a certain map as he did so. Refusing him, she was sent flying by a lightning quick blow from the man, who had somehow managed to harden close to half his body with Haki. The two would begin a vicious battle, Victoria only barely drawing even with the man even with both here werewolf and Heart powers at full burn, along with her own Haki and Rokushiki. She would soon tire as Vergo continued to beat her into the ground and would resort to desperate measures. Taking out her old strings, she activated both her Weapon Channeling and the Dark Side, but the super sharp strings were unable to deliver more then light wounds to the man. Just as he prepared to deliver the last blow, Victoria would manage to infused the strings with Haki directly, nearly severing both of Vergo's arms and rendering them both useless and bleeding heavily. Forced to retreat, though with the promise that more would come after her, she was left in the desert dunes to slowly regenerate her broken body.

 The strawhats continue on to Alubarna, where they find members of Baroque Works waiting to fight them. Usopp and Chopper battle Mr 4 and Miss Merry Christmas, Sanji fights Mr 2, Nami battles Miss Doublefinger and Zoro fights Mr 1. Each crew member not only defeats their opponent, but also unlocks the very beginning of their own Haki power as well as their own personal growth. Vivi arrives at the royal palace and attempts to force the war to stop, but is stopped by Crocodile and Ms All Sunday, who reveal the plan to both find the blueprints to Pluton and to blow up the city with an enormous bomb. Luffy appears then, fighting Crocodile with a barrel of water but is quickly beat down. He manages to get up, briefly using Haki to strike Crocodile in the face but is exhausted by the move and is left for dead by the Shichibukai. Victoria had been pushing herself as fast as she could to reach Alubarna in time to help her friends. She caught up to Luffy, who told her to go on, and eventually would meet Crocodile emerging from the Tomb of Kings. Crocodile, seeing the still wounded Victoria and with his usual Logia-born arrogance, decided she was of no consequence and sent a blast of sand to take her out. Her haki-wires would take an arm from him for his mistake and she wouldthen descend on him with a barrage of Haki infused Rokushiki blows, tearing into him whilst he was occupied with the pain. The fight was quickly ended when Victoria infused her right arm with enough Haki to harden it to the elbow and slammed him into the ground with enough force to crater it. As she finished her fight, Pell would sacrifice his life above to take the bomb up into the sky where it would explode harmlessly. With the bomb destroyed and Crocodile defeated, rain returned to Alabaster and the rebel and royal armies stopped their battle.

 The crew would awaken a day later, though Luffy would sleep for another three days, and find that Vivi and her father had brought back peace to the rebels, letting them lay down their arms. Smoker had arrested Crocodile and all the Baroque works agents he could find, stripping the Shichibukai of his rank as he did so. The group were hailed as heroes by the palace, but their presence was kept a secret from the outside as the marines would be after them. For 3 days, the crew would recover and Victoria would spend much of that time experimenting with her newfound abilities in Haki much the same as the rest of the crew. Eventually, their captain woke up and they recieve a call from Mr 2 that he has protected their ship from the marines for them. Vivi is offered a place on the crew and to accept by noon, as they could wait no longer. The strawhats briefly fight with Black Cage Hina, but Mr 2 draws them away to thank the crew. As they are sailing off, Vivi appears and tell's them that while she cannot join them, she will never forget them either. The strawhat pirates respond simply by showing her the crosses on their wrists, unable to say their goodbyes verbally because of the marines nearby. Ms All Sunday, revealing her true name as Robin, appears however, and says that she wishes to join the crew, which Luffy quickly accepts. A new crew member in tow, they set off for the next island on their journey.

 The crew are along their way to the next island when they are almost crushed by a giant ship falling from the sky. Bewildered at how the log Pose has begun to point upwards, Robin explaining that it was most likely a Sky Island. Sending Luffy, Zoro and Sanji down to explore the ship, they would find a map to a land named Skypeia. As they continued their salvaging, a crew of monkey pirates led by a man named Masira appeared, claiming that it was their territory and all sunken ships belonged to them. A giant monster eats the ship, though those inside escape and those on the ship quickly defeat Masira's crew. Both ships are forced to flee when 3 gigantic shadows appear from the sky, but Robin managed to snare an eternal pose to the nearby island named Jaya. Luffy, Zoro and Nami entered the town, where they would encounter both a man named Bellamy and the Blackbeard pirates, though they did not know their name at the time. They'd also meet Montblanc Cricket and hear the sto of Montblanc Noland and the city of gold, eventually convincing Cricket to help upgrades the Going Merry to withstand the Knock-Up Stream. Luffy also battled Bellamy, knocking him out in a single blow to retrieve Montblanc's stolen gold. Back on the ship, Victoria has sat down with Robin and asked her if she would be able to translate the map she has in her possession. Promising she'd try, Robin is able to decode a great deal of the map's contents. However, the map contains no coordinates and is in fact not a map to an island at all, but the interior of a fortress of some kind. Apologising for not being of much help, the two continue talking until the others return to the ship. The Blackbeard pirates then appeared, revealing that 3 of the crew had gained bounties, Valeire, Luffy and Zoro, and that they intended to collect. The Knock Up Stream interrupted them however, sending the Going Merry into the sky and the Blackbeard pirates flying away back to Jaya.

 Riding the stream up, they arrive in a cloud filled land called Skypeia. Attacked at first by a masked man with wings, he is driven off by a knight named Gan Fall that rides a Pegasus. Handing them a whistle to summon him if they get in trouble, they continue on to Heaven's Gate, the entrance to Skypeia. Warned that entering without paying a fee would mark them as criminals, they enter anyway. Soon they meet a girl named Conis and her father, who explain about Skypeia and the power of the magical seeming objects called Dials. Nami, whilst experimenting with the dials, finds herself having travelled to a nearby island named Upper Yard. Conis explains that place is forbidden ground, and only the God Enel and his priests may step foot on there. Luffy races off to explore the area, as well as to save Nami, and the crew soon follows after him. They quickly beat down a squad of White Berets, the local policeforce, and Gan Fall appears to fend off an attack from Enel on Conis from a great distance away, revealing his lightning based powers. On their way, the crew is split into two groups, but both eventually reach Upper Yard.

 Victoria finds herself with Nami, Zoro, Chooper and Robin on a stone alter with the Going merry, deciding to stay back with Chopper and guard the ship whilst the others explore the area in search of Luffy and the others. Whilst the other encounter several foes and trials, a priest named Shura appears at the Going Merry and attacks it with fire based powers. He badly damages the ship and Chopper uses the whistle to call Gan Fall to help them. Shura activates the 'Trial of Strings' but Victoria's superior skill and power with wires allows her to turn it against him, defeating the priest before he can deal any more damage to the ship. Zoro and Luffy' groups both return at this point and reveal several discoveries, most important that Upper Yard is in fact a chunk of land blown up from the Blue Sea to the sky and that it contains a city made of gold. The crew decides to steal this gold and parties into the night in celebration. The group sets out for the golden city the next morning though they are attack by a giant python that splits the group up, with only Robin and Victoria left on the correct path. The two chance upon ancient ruins of Shandoria, another sky island nation and during Robin's examination of the ruins, they are attacked by one of Enel's servants, a large many named Yama. Yama destroys much of the ruins, enraging Robin who quickly beats him down with her fruit powers. After begging for mercy, he attempts to attack Robin from behind but his neck is snapped by Victoria's wolf jaws. The two women discover the city of gold deeper into the forest, but find there is no actual gold present though a gigantic beanstalk does stretch into the sky amidst the ruins. They do find something of great interest to Robin however, that being hints that the golden bell of the city holds a poneglyph on it, though the bell itself is nowhere to be found. God Enel appears then, informing them that he is the one responsible for taking all of the gold from the city. Soon after, Zoro, Gan Fall, Nami and a Shandorian warrior named Wiper appear in the city plaza, though Gan Fall is quickly defeated. The remaining group all attack Enel at once, seastone held by Wiper and the Haki of the strawhats allowing them to once again take a Logia User by surprise, not only cutting into his body but stopping his heart with a Reject dial wielded by the Shandorian. Enel simply restarts his heart with his own powers however, and unleashes a storm of electricity that easily takes out Victoria and the others. He then takes Nami and goes to his ship, the Ark Maxim, as he reveals he intends to destroy all of Skypiea. As they fly into the sky, it is revealed that the Golden Bell that the two had searched for earlier lay above the clouds on a golden altar.

 Luffy's group reappears, hearing the situation from the barely conscious Robin and they charge off towards the Ark Maxim. Luffy reaches it and begins to battle Enel, his rubber powers making him immune to Enel's electricity, his Haki and the wounds from the previous fight on Enel soon start to take their toll on the lightning man. Meanwhile, Sanji and Usopp sabotage the inside of the ship, setting it up for a catastrophic breakdown in just minutes, before exiting to assist Luffy's battle against Enel. When Enel attempts to shock them, Nami counteracts it with thunderclouds from her Clima-tact and Luffy continues to keep up the pressure with his own attacks. Back on the ground, Zoro and Victoria are attempting to knock the beanstalk over by cutting it, so they can reach the Ark Maxim in the sky. Wiper however, uses his last use of the Reject dial, taking serious wounds in the process, but asks the strawhats to make sure they take out Enel. Affirming his wish, Chopper, Robin and Zoro ride on Victoria's back as they race up the slowly falling stalk, using Geppo to cross the remaining distance and landing on the golden ship. The three leap into the fight, each using their Haki to bypass the man's logia defence. Enel's behaviour becomes more and more erratic, especially as he realises the ship is starting to fall apart around him, and he is constantly pummeled by attacks he cannot ignore and has his own attack sblocked by the rubber man and Nami's weather control. Losing control completely, he turns into a huge lightning golem and prepares to annihilate the straw hats. Usopp activates a water dial however, momentarily weakening him. Taking advantage, Robin and Victoria wrap him in hands and wires, holding him in place as Luffy, Chopper, Sanji and Zoro prepare their strongest, Haki infused blows. Letting loose, the combination attack sends Enel rocketing across the sky and slams him headfirst into the Golden Bell, sending it's ringing all the way down to Jaya as he falls to the Blue Sea.

 The Strawhats escape from the crumbling Ark Maxim, using a cloud dial collected by Usopp to float down back to Upper yard safely as the ship explodes behind them. As they arrive back, they find that the Shandoran's and the people of Skypiea have made peace, but the sheer exhaustion makes the crew all fall asleep until the next day. Awakening, they find that the Golden Bell has been retrieved and Robin soon finds that not only does it reveal information on the ancient weapon Poseidon, it also holds a message from Gol D Roger that the final piece, the Rio Poneglyph lies on Raftel. Usopp manages to exchange 'legendary anti-enel' rubber bands for a box of dials and recieves the Reject dial as a thanks from an awkward Wiper, though the sky islanders also give the Strawhat crew a golden pillar of the Golden Bell, strapped to Victoria's back and the rest of the crew makes off with several bags of gold from within the great python, as many as they could strap to Victoria's wolf form and carry on their own backs. Guided out by Gan Fall, the new god of Skypiea, they descend back to the Blue Sea with the aid of a giant octopus balloon, ready to continue to their next island.

 Sailing along, the crew find themselves stuck on a sort of underground railway. Barely escaping from a train that runs along the tracks, they are introduced to the train conductor Kokoro and her family, who explains what the sea train, the Puffing Tom is, and explains their log pose will lead them to Water 7, a nearby city built around shipwrights. Arriving at the water borne city, Luffy, Nami and Usopp head out with the gold to exchange it, gaining almost a billion beri in return, in order to pay for fixing their ship. There they meet a man named Kaku, who informs them that as the Keel is damaged, the ship is irreparable and they'd need to buy a new one. As they do this, Chopper, Robin and Victoria explore the city together. Chopper finds a herbal store that interests him, so the two girls wait outside as he enters. Whilst outside, a masked man passes by Robin and whispers "CP9" to her, though Victoria overhears with her enhanced senses. When Robin leaves to follow the man, telling Victoria she has something to do elsewhere and that'd she return soon, Victoria decides to track them both with her sense of smell. For several minutes the two groups wind their way deeper into the city. Eventually reaching a clearing, she hid and overheard Robin's conversation with four masked figures, of how she was to go with them to face execution or a buster call would be called on the Straw Hats. Robin agrees to go with them and Victoria leaps out in front of her to stop her going. Confronting the 4 CP9 members in front of her, the two sides fought. At first Victoria seemed to be doing well, her own use of Rokushiki and surprising level of skill throwing the agents off guard and allowing her to knock out the largest one. This soon wore off though and she found herself quickly on the losing side, her defeat quickened when Robin interfered and tripped her up. Left broken on the ground, she could only watch as Robin was escorted away. She is brought back to consciousness that night, her wounds mostly healed, as she is almost drowned under a massive wave. Swimming to the top and then jumping to the safer rooftops with Soru, she tracks down her captain quickly. Meeting with the rest of the strawhats, sans Sanji and Usopp, at the Rocket Man train. Quickly updated by Nami on what has happened, from Usopp's leaving the crew to the identites of CP9 and their goals, she crouches on board the back and they set off, though not before they are joined by the Franky family, who attach their own cart to the train, though they are also joined by stowaways from the Galley La company that wish to help. They encounter several detached carts on their way, sliced up by Zoro whilst Victoria flings the passengers to the side with her wires. Soon their car meets up with the carts Sanji and Usopp, now known as Sogeking, are in and the crew reunites. Most of the crew, barring Luffy and Chopper, recognise Sogeking as Usopp and Victoria almost voices her happiness at his return but is silenced by a nudge/kick from Sanji. The Rocket Man then arrives at it's destination, Enies Lobby.


 Arriving at Enies Lobby, the Strawhats and their compatriots launch their attack on the base, busting through the gates and into a crowd of thousands of waiting marines. Luffy rushes through the crowd to the fort up ahead,whilst Victoria and the others soon beat down the several thousand ordinary marines around them. Meeting up with Luffy, who had beaten Blueno as they fought, they confront Robin and CP9, affirming that they would all go to war with the entire world rather then abandon Robin. Using the Rocket Man to crash into the tower, they meet one of the CP9 members, Fukuro, who explains that each agent holds a key that would unlock Robin's seastone cuffs and that they'd give the strawhats a chance. Luffy decides to go after Lucci and Robin, while the rest of the crew splits up. Victoria finds herself facing Kaku, the long nosed swordsman. Victoria at first manages to take the upper hand, her Rankyaku attacks able to match the more skilled ones of Kaku because of their larger size. However, Kaku soon transforms into a giraffe man, enhancing the power of his attacks and beating her back. They soon crash through the floor, meeting up with Usopp who is fighting Jabra. Telling her friend to go on ahead, Victoria stands in front of the two transformed fruit users as they argue on who gets to fight her. She reveals however, that she is able to use Haki to harden everything above her waist, turning her hair white in the process, attacking and matching both agents at once with the added strength and durability this grants her. Even Kaku's strongest Rankyaku was unable to completely break though her Haki and Tekkai enforced skin but she was unable to hold either of them down long enough. Sanji then joined the fray, drawing off Jabra and leaving Victoria and Kaku alone. When he tried to use his shigan on her, she caught him and revealed her second new 'ability', that of being able to force herself into a rage to take advantage of her increased strength, with the ability to somewhat control the target. She punched Kaku into the ground with all her might, sending him rocketing through each floor to the bottom of the castle. Going down to grab his key, she found Usopp and passed it along. She follows the others as they try to reach Luffy and are then forced to retreat back to the pier as the tunnels are flooded. The Buster Call begins and the crew start trying to fight off the marines that assault them while waiting for Luffy. They are rescued by the Going Merry, who ha dcome to save them on it's fina voyage. Retrieving Luffy, they flee from the ruins of Enies Lobby and back to Water 7, where Merry breaks down upon landing. Giving the ship a viking funeral, they say their goodbyes to the first loss from their crew.

 They arrive back at Enies Lobby and sleep for almost 2 days before awakening. When they do, they discover that Franky has used the money he stole from them back before Enies Lobby to start building an enormous new ship for them, 6 times the size of the Going Merry and big enough for even Victoria to comfortably lay around, named the Thousand Sunny. Luffy's grandfather then appears, the Vice Admiral Garp, and reveals both that Luffy's father is the wanted revolutionary Dragon and explaining the idea of the Yonko, the four greatest pirates. Luffy and Zoro then battle the newly trained Coby and Helmeppo, handily defeating them. Garp leaves and Kokoro explains to the crew that to get to their next island, Fishman Island, they'll need to go through the haunted Florian Triangle. They also find their bounties have all been increased or in certain cases, given their first bounties. They wait 5 days, spending most of it relaxing or training, until they are called to the now completed ship. Fleeing from a returning Garp under orders to catch them, they convince Franky to join the crew and accept Usopp back after he apologises, setting sail for the Florian Triangle.

 On their way, they encounter a ghostly ship upon which rides Dead Bones Brook, a musician skeleton that quickly befriends Luffy. They are soon captured by the massive island-ship Thriller Bark, trapping the ship within giant walls around the mobile island. Victoria disembarks with everyone but Nami, Chopper and Usopp, venturing onto the island. They find many strange, zombie-like creatures that the captain seeks to tame and even encounter a invisible beast that attempts to trick and grope the crew, though Victoria's sense of smell allowed her to find and send it flying. Next they are assailed by ghosts that send all of them into a deep depression, though only temporarily, and even meet an old man who explains that the one stealing shadows and creating zombies is the Shichibukai Gekko Moriah. They are attacked by a bunch of Surprise Zombies, Sanji, Zorro and Victoria all being taken during the various battles. They soon get ther shadows removed and placed in General Zombies by Moriah himself, before being placed back on the Thousand Sunny.

 The crew later returns to the ship to find the three and Luffy on the ship sleeping, waking them up and explaining that their shadows have been stolen. Deciding to go for the source instead of the individual shadows, the crew splits up into pairs, with Luffy and Victoria going after Moriah himself. The two get split off from the rest of the crew when Oars, imbued with Luffy's shadow, crashes down onto a bridge. Continuing on, they find their path blocked by a small giant who is able to use both Haki and Rokushiki. Realising that this is her shadow, Victoria tell's Luffy to go on while she fights it. Initially at a disadvantage due to the Zombie Doubles inability to feel pain and lack of need for much of it's internals, Victoria is eventually able to triumph over it by using the Rokuougan for the first time, though it damages her arms due to her lack of experience. While she fought, Oars had rampaged through the mansion (literally) and this eventually catches her up too, flinging her through a wall and out to where several of the other crewmembers await. While tired, Victoria uses her powers to help knock Oars down, breaking one of his arms with the help of Sanji and Chopper.Oars is not down yet though, and his continued attacks quickly knock out most of the strawhats. Luffy arrives to save them after being pumped full of shadows, along with the Rolling Pirates who treat the fallen's wounds. Luffy manages to seemingly defeat Moria and Oars and then falls unconscious. Oars get's back up once more as his original self, but the Strawhats finally defeat him with a combination attack, ending with a revived Luffy catapulting Victoria in full Tekkai down on Oars' head, crashing into and smashing his head and upper body in a messy explosion. Moriah too reappears, using his Shadow's Asgard ability to suck up all the shadows and become a giant. Luffy quickly destroys him however, literally beating the shadows out of him just in time. Bartholomew Kuma then appears, stating his intentions to destroy the crew for defeating another Shichibukai. Kuma easily deflects or tanks any attack the crew uses, defeating any one that attacks him quickly and brutally. He offers a deal to those gathered, of sparing them for Luffy's head but is flat out refused. He then unleashes a bomb with his devil fruit powers, destroying much of the island and knocking out most of the crew. Zoro manages to stay awake, surprise attacking Kuma with a slice to his front, revealing his modifications, and Victoria then appears in front of Kuma to unleash her second Rokuogan into the exposed metal, nearly destroying her arms but sending Kuma skidding back. Kuma knocks her out by sending her flying into a wall, before Zoro offers to exchange his life for his captain's. Taking on all of Luffy's pain, Zoro survives but hides his deed from the others, and Kuma leaves the island. A day later, the crew and the Rolling Pirates celebrate Moriah's defeat, and Brook is accepted into the strawhat crew. As they sail away from Thriller Bark, Victoria looks back briefly and notices several immense shadows in the mist, dwarfing the island ship many times over, but puts it out of her mind as just a figment of imagination.

 The crew sails on, through various grandline weather and attacks from Sea Kings, until they come face to face with an insurmountable obstacle. The Redline continent stretches up before them above the clouds, blocking their journey. They can find no way to go under it even at 5000 meters below sea level, using one of Franky's soldier dock systems to check, and decide to get closer to examine it to see if they could either find a way through or climb over. When the draw near the continental cliff, they find a thin staircase set into the side and Luffy decides to explore where it leads to, whilst Victoria stays on the ship with Usopp and Chopper as the staircase is too small. Soon enough they are suddenly trapped as the water around them forms into a ball and lifts them into the air. They are taken through a part of the wall, which is apparently illusionary, and into a massive cavern area. They are then beset upon by hundreds of strange masked men, including devil fruit users that can lift objects and make illusions, but Victoria manages to overpower them all. The three escape into the tunnels out of the cavern but manage to fall into a dark pit. Whilst they are doing this, Luffy and the others have seemingly been welcomed by the masked men with a feast waiting for them. During this feast, Zoro, Sanji and Nami are all secretly drugged, being taken on the way to their rooms after the feast. Luffy, Robin, Franky and Brook are taken instead to a larger room filled with carvings of three pillars and swirling fruits, with an altar in the middle of the room holding a giant bowl in which there seemto be dozens or even hundreds of devil fruits. There, the high priest named Kuon, explains the purpose of the underground group. They are a religion that has taken refuge from the coming awakening of a great beast, lead by holy warriors imbued with great powers. Kuon welcomes the four of them as such warriors, explaining that their powers are what makes them worthy of surviving the future end times. He also reveals his pity for them having to travel with normal humans and says he has had them taken care of. The crew does not react as he expects and demands to know where they are before attacking. Kuon seemingly summons a blast of water that disables the three devil fruit users, but Franky charges on heedlessly. A panicked Kuon calls for his guards and the other priests attack Franky, knocking him down with their numbers and devil fruit powers. Kuon explains that he is the holy messiah of the Sea Devil and holds power over water, though Robin feels that something is off with this explanation. The four are taken and thrown into a deep hole, landing in a pit and finding the other crew members waiting for them there. Chopper explains that their ship was captured outside and how they came to be in the dark tunnels, also mentioning that he managed to cleanse the drugged crew of the poisons. Kuon and his eleven priests then appear above, seemingly a created illusion, explaining that as a bunch of heretics and mortals, they will be used as an example. There are ten paths open, one for each crew member, and they will only be allowed to leave if they beat each of the priests waiting for them.

 They try to break through the roof, but the stone is too thick for any of them and seems to replenish when damaged,so they decide to go along with the plan for now. Victoria takes her path, coming into a giant room full of pillars where she encounters the priest Garuda. He reveals his powers of the Wind Wind Fruit and states that he will be the one to fight her, though he does not seem to be all that enthusiastic about it. Being underground for so long, neither Garuda nor the others are aware of Haki or it's uses, thus Victoria quickly takes the upper hand even with his logia abilities. He uses his ultimate technqiue to disperse into the air around the room and form out of random places to attack her by surprise. Even her own senses and haki is unable to find him, so she uses a new move, Rankyaku: Tatsumaki to send large numbers of blades in every direction, the haki infused blades cutting into Garuda's invisible body and forcing him to reform. A quick blow to the head takes him out of the fight. Garuda expresses shame after his defeat, but not at losing. He reveals that Kuon intends to kill them all anyway in case they survive and that he intended to use their deaths as an example to force the rebellious elements back down. He gives her a damaged map and says it will guid her back out, but falls unconscious before she can inquire further. Looking at the map, she finds it shockingly similar to her own faded map and realises that she has an undamaged map of the inner workings of the grand line. Using the two maps, she decides to track down the rest of the arenas her crew is in. The first one she comes to she finds Usopp fighting against a Mantis Zoan named Mana, who she manages to surprise and knock ou from behind. Usopp expresses his frustration with having been saved but goes along with her as they continue to search. Instead of another crew member, the next large room they come to seems to be an armory of strange weaponry and armours, all almost rusted to the core, though there are seemingly suits of armour made for giants too. A green haired man enters from the other side of the room, naming himself as Bartolomeo. Explaining that he is the strongest of the priesthood, he seemingly sends a blast of force that crushes Victoria against the far wall. She launches her attack but is unable to pierce the shield that surrounds him even at top speed and is continually smashed by these planes of force that appear. It is Usopp who notices that parts of the shield disappear whenever Bartolomeo attacks and he uses this oppurtunity to sneak a Impact dial inside the shield, activating the device and smashing Bart into his own shield. Another shot to the face and Bartolomeo is down for the count. Usopp goes over to help Victoria up and boasts about his victory but notices Bartolomeo getting up and preparing an attack behind her. Knocking her out of the room just as the force shield slams down around the room, locking her out. Despite her best efforts, she cannot even scratch the barrier and watches as Usopp battles the now shieldless Bartolomeo. Usopp manages to defeat the man, but the firestar shots he uses have damaged the cave they were in and the roof starts to collapse. Usopp turns to escape the room but the barrier remains. Bart reveals that he is still alive and the barriers will not fade until he wishes them to or he dies, and that he would rather die to kill Usopp then live with failing Kuon. Victoria desperately attacks the wall but can do nothing once more, forced to watch as millions of tons of rocks drop on her crewmates head. Usopp, realising his fate, simply turns and smiles at her, declaring they he is dying to protect his crew, like a man of the sea. The rocks drop and the so does the shield, but Victoria has already fallen into despair at the death of her friend.

 Victoria sits there motionless for some time until the rest of the crew manages to find her, unresponsive to their questions about Usopp's whereabouts. They talk to each other about what they learned from their own battles and the conflict between factions inside the Redline, but Victoria pays little attention to the fact. She suddenly gets up upon hearing Kuon's name, glaning at her map and then racing off towards the altar room once again with the crew scrambling to keep up with her wolf form. Just before the altar room they encounter almost half of the priests again, along with a force of almost five thousand cultists in a massive hallway. Victoria activates her Haki and bullrushes through all of them, with Luffy, Robin and Nami following her. The others stay behind to fight the small army that has been gathered, with the other priests soon appearing with their own side of the worshippers as an army to help. Victoria and the others burst into the room with the devil fruit altar, but find Kuon is nowhere to be found. At least until he drops on top of them from the floor above in a giant mecha suit that stands equal with Victoria. The crew attacks the mecha, but even Luffy and Victoria are only able to dent the metal, Robin's powers not able to trip it up and Nami's weather abilities resisted by the machine, though her lightning shocks do cause it to slow down somewhat. It's powerful blows soon take out the four, leaving the laying in the centre of the room. Garuda then appears, attacking Kuon and saying that he won't stand for his corruption any longer, though he cannot deal any serious damage to the robotic giant. Victoria attempts to get up and fight again but is sent flying back into the devil fruit bowl, sending both it and herself spilling over. Noticing the fruits around her, she grabs one and stands up Kuon noticing what she holds in her hand. Mocking her for the action, he tells her that she'll only get some random power that won't stop her death. As he continues to gloat, she bites into the fruit, grimacing at the taste and waits. The two do not move for a minute before Kuon erupts in laughter, mocking her pointless effort and smacking her to the side again, sending her flying into her captain and crewmember. Pushing herself up once again, Kuon's next blow hits her and sends her head flying back...as if it was an elastic band, exactly like her captain's gum gum fruit. Slowly realising what has happened, Victoria reaches out with a hand towards her crew and, much like Robin's own powers, hands appear to throw her crew to safety. She resumes the battle, her new powers letting her withstand the mecha's blows far easier. Noticing Garuda flying around and attacking the mecha's back, she calls out to him to come to her, managing to grab him by stretching her arm and copying his power, but Garuda is attacked while distracted and sent flying. When he next turns to Victoria, he finds that his blows can no longer hit her, her body simply turning to air when he strikes. Grinning as she realises, she beings to work out her Rubber and Hana powers, remembering what she has seen of Luffy and Robin's uses. As Kuon flails about, even unleashing hidden cannons on her, she grows used to her powers and the robot slowly becomes more and more damaged by her rubber-Haki blows. Stopping her assault, she concentrates and beings to summon arms all around the walls, ceiling and floor. Infusing each one with Haki, she stretches them back and unleashes her new technique, slamming her fists thousands of times into Kuon, at speeds so high they catch on fire. The suit shatters under the attack, Victoria drawing back one last time for a blow that sends the man rocketing through the great hall and through the walls at the far end. Collapsing as the battle finishes, she is asleep before she hits the ground.

 She awakes a few hours later, somewhat healed from her injuries, to find herself back on their ship and outside the Redline. Robin is there and explains what has happened since, namely that Garuda's faction has taken over and expelled Kuon and his order, as well as asking the Strawhat's to leave as quickly as they can despite their help. They have not been able to find Usopp yet, so they are staying whilst the other's search the tunnels. Victoria stands, turning away from Robin and telling her that Usopp is dead, because of Victoria's own actions too as well. Shocked, Robin asks for her to explain what she means and Victoria screams at her that she killed Usopp. Unable to control herself and feeling as if she has betrayed her friends, she activates her air power, letting the wind currents carry her far from the ship even as Robin calls out for her. She manages to stay in this air form for close to an hour before her still present injuries catch up with her and she begins falling, slamming into the sea and blacking out once again. Picked up by a fishing boat and taken to a village, she awakens and thanks her saviours, but soon retreats to a corner of the island. Wallowing in her despair, for the next few days she does little but mope, sleep and talk rarely with some of the villagers that come to see her. It takes almost three days before she emerges from the grove she hid in, entering the village to find food. She takes on some construction work to help pay for the food and during the process overhears her fellow workers talking about the upcoming execution of 'Firefist' Ace. Freezing, she asks them for more details and discovers that just 6 hours remain until the execution is held at Marineford. Running of at full speed, she leaps into the air over the sea and turns herself into a gust of wind, travelling at incredible speeds towards Marineford.

 By the time she has arrived at the battlefield of Marineford, the paramount war has already raged for over an hour. Floating over the battlefield in her air form, she searches for her captain amongst the combatants, using her Observation Haki to help. She finds him when a massive gout of water appears, launching the rubber man over the giant walls surrounding the battle field. She appears in front of him in a gust of wind in time to block the kick of light from Kizaru, though even with Haki and Tekkai she is still sent skidding back, though her power activated in the process. Luffy exclaims in happiness upon seeing her and she tells him that she won't let another friend die, no matter what. Aokiji appears above them, stabbing an ice saber down into Luffy before being knocked away by Victoria in a flash of light and a strange noise. Confused, he prepares to strike again but is knocked away by Marco. Luffy charges ahead to the execution platform, but is blocked by two Vice Admirals and he fights a losing battle against both of them. Victoria enters and surprises both marines, knocking them back with a series of Shigan blasts. Kizaru then appears and fires a beam of light that pierces Luffy, before trying to kick him but he is blocked by Victoria with a shining kick of her own, though the shockwave of the two light speed kicks sends Luffy flying back. The Admiral, and many of the surrounding fighters all freeze in shock as Victoria reveals that she has the ability to copy Devil Fruits and that she has copied Kizaru's power. The two exchange a blindingly fast series of blows, but as the shock wears off Kizaru's experience allows him to start taking the edge over her. Activating her Heart of Darkness and Dark Side powers, she charges back at the admiral and continues the battle. She is suddenly forced to jump back as Akainu approaches, though Whitebeard attacks the Red Dog before the admiral reaches her.

 Whilst no longer attacked by the admirals, she is soon beset upon by several vice admirals and forced to use her new power to the fullest to fight them and the pacifista that start to turn towards her. Her light and rubber powers and Rokushiki knowledge allow her to deal damage to huge areas at once, thinning the marines significantly as the battle continues around her and even killing Vice Admiral Onigumo with a laser through the chest. The battle is brought to a halt as Luffy unleashes a gargantuan burst of Conqueror's Haki, knocking out most of the fighters on the field. Hearing Whitebeard's declaration to support Luffy, Victoria speeds over to her captain to continue proecting him. Helping the others knock away anyone that comes near Luffy, the group reaches the base of the execution stand where Inazuma creates a ramp to the stand. As Luffy frees Ace, with the help of Mr 3, they are attacked by Sengoku in his Giant Buddha form. Sengoku has Victoria slam into his side however, knocking him off balance and letting Ace and Luffy escape freely. Sengoku turns to go after them but is met with a golden statue that towers over even him, Victoria having copied his power, and she knocks him into the marine headquarters main building. The two struggle against each other, Sengoku's greater Haki and skill allowing him to match the colossal golden giant that Victoria has become, though her light powers let her continually beat the man down. A burst of Haoshoku Haki stuns her and the fleet admiral sends her flying across Marineford with a shockwave blast. While here she notices that Luffy and Ace are fighting Akainu and the danger her captain is in from the admiral. Shunting the golden buddha form away, she targets the place in front of Luffy and flashes over there, the crucial time to target allowing Akainu to launch his attack. Appearing between Ace and the Admiral, she forms a shield of ice around her body, revealing that she'd taken Aokiji's power earlier. Desperately holding the thin shield, even as the lava begins to make her skin boil with it's heat, she screams at the brothers to run. Akainu redoubles his efforts and starts burning through the ice, but all of a sudden his upper body explodes as a bullet slams into it at high speeds. Flung back from Victoria, he and those around him search for the source of the bullets, before they hear a voice call out from up above. Up atop the Marine HQ building, stands a man in a metal suit and mask holding a enormous rifle, with the flag of the world government burning behind him. Declaring that he is here to save Portgas D Ace, he announces himself as the God of the Sea, before firing off multiple shots at Akainu, who barely dodges the super fast shots. Victoria however, realises the true identity of the masked man, as her crewmate Usopp. Unable to hold back her emotions, she cries out to him and he gives her a thumbs up in return before continuing to fire at the Admirals. With renewed resolve, Victoria turns to her captain to tell him it's time for them to escape, just in time to see a laser pierce through Ace's heart. Victoria throws herself in front of the two to stop any further attack s from Kizaru whilst the rest of the Whitebeard pirates hold off Akainu from the other side. As the two sides continue their battle, with Whitebeard himself defeating Akainu, the brothers share their last moments together and Ace dies. Whitebeards rage filled quakes split the island in half, seperating him from the pirates. At this moment the Blackbeard pirates appear, with their captain mocking Whitebeard. They attack Whitebeard, even as the man's life fades he tears into the crew and shows them the might of the world's strongest man. The Blackbeard pirates open fire but soon run out of bullets. Whitebeard stands at the edge of death and roars out that a new age of piracy is beginning, that one piece exists and gives a final farewell to his crew as he dies standing up.

 Blackbeard and his crew gloats about their victory but all of a sudden a barrage of bullets reigns down on them, forcing them to disperse and both Sengoku and Victoria appear around them in their Buddha forms, attacking the crew with all their power. Usopp soon begins a battle with Van Augur, his mechanical suit allowing him to match the otherwise superior sniper. Blackbeard attempts to reach Whitebeard's body but is knocked far away by a gigantic fist made of light from Victoria and the rest of his crew is frozen in a massive block of ice, though they break out in only minutes. Yelling at Usopp that they need to leave, Usopp activates jets on his armour and speeds over to her through the air. They run off towards where Luffy has been taken, using the Light and jets to quickly reach the submarine that has appeared. Behind them, Marco has picked up Whitebeard's body and taken it to the waiting pirate ships as te crews retreat. The Admiral's do their best to stop Luffy from escaping but the appearance of the Yonko, Red Haired Shanks. Threatening to personally attack anyone that continues the war, all combatants, from the marines to the pirates to blackbeard himself, decide to cut their losses and end the battle. As Victoria and Usopp walk towards the submarine, Akainu speaks up, telling Victoria that that fruit of her's has marked her for death. She turns and tells him that if he wants to fight, he'll be fighting the crew of the pirate king, enraging the man. Turning at the sound of laughter, Victoria comes face to face with Shanks. The man greets her and thanks her for being a part of the crew of his friend. Slent for a moment, she looks up and confirms that she is a part of his crew. He hands her Luffy's strawhat and asks her to give it to him. She and Usopp then leave, reaching Law's submarine and leaving the blasted island and the war behind them, once again a part of the Strawhat Pirates.



Part 2

Luffy is treated by Law for his injuries on the submarine, whilst Victoria allows the burns that cover much of her body to slowly regenerate. She and Law talk briefly about the war, but he soon focuses on the surgery again. A few hours later the Kuja Pirates have caught up and offered to take Luffy to a safe island to continue healing and the Heart Pirates follow along with them. Arriving at Amazon Lily, Luffy is taken to the neighbouring island of Rusukaina whilst Victoria and the Heart Pirates wait behind. Rayleigh soon appears, having swum through the calm belt, and asks how the rubber man is doing. He talks with Victoria and she admits that she feels helpless, that even with the power she's gained she was unable to protect her captain. The man in turn implies that he may know of a solution to her problem but asks her to wait a few days while he gets Luffy back on track. Victoria is invited further into the island, though the Heart Pirates are forced to stay on the beach. Staying the night, she hears the next day that Luffy has left with Rayleigh and Jimbe to go somewhere, finding out later that they held a funeral for Ace and Whitebeard at Marineford itself, as well as declaring the end of the old era and the beginning of a new one. Smiling as she realises her captain has recovered, she waits for Rayleigh to get back and tell her of his idea . This plan is interrupted however, by the coming of Brynndi World, a Level 6 escapee from Impel Down and a man so dangerous that the Shichibukai have been recalled only days after the Marineford war.

 At first, Amazon Lily and it's ruler ignore the summons, Hancock finding it of little interest now that she has Luffy so close to her. She is forced to care when Brynndi World attacks the island at night and kidnaps her two sisters before retreating. With Luffy injured and both Rayleigh and Jinbe at Marineford, Hancock charges off alone to retrieve the two women but is intercepted by Victoria, who offers her help in saving them. The two soon arrive at World's ship, a giant island like creation outmatched only by Thriller Bark in it's sheer size. There they encounter a fishman named Sebastian, who briefly fights the two women but is easily defeated and thrown aside. Hancock charges into the building while Victoria smashes in through the walls in search of Sandersonia and Marigold. While smashing through the internals of the ship, Victoria finds that the cube like interior has begun to try to trap and crush her, working out that this is the work of one of the crew members. She flash freezes the inside of the ship, almost catching the Shichibukai Buggy in the effect, and using it to transport herself through to a central room where she finds the source of the cubes, Gairam. While strong, the man's cubes are unable to protect against Victoria's raw physical strength and speed and the man finds himself on the defensive, only worsened when Hancock herself arrives with Buggy in tow. After Gairam is beaten down, Hancock uses her Haki to find her sisters' location and the two rush off there, leaving Buggy standing over the defeated pirate. Finding a cage in a large dome room where the sisters are imprisoned, the two break it open and free them but are attacked by Brynndi World in the process. Using his Devil Fruit, Brynndi sends Victoria and Hancock flying through the walls of the building, only managing to avoid hitting the sea through the use of the Light fruit. Flying back at him, she and him exchange blows but Brynndi's massive size and speed leave her unable to react and she is punched deep into the heart of the island ship. Turning to Hancock and telling her that she'll be just as useful nailed to the front of his ship as alive, he stops as the ship is covered in a giant shadow. Looking up and up and up, he realises that Victoria has copied the Moa Moa Fruit and become a half a mile tall giant. Towering over all, Victoria slams her fist into Brynndi and sending him flying into the air. Catching up to him, she uses the Rokuougan to slam him into his ship, shattering it in the process. Looking to the side, she sees that a fleet of Marine ships has arrived and flash freezes the ocean between them to slow them down before returning to her normal size. She and Hancock take her sisters back to the Kuja Pirates ship and set sail for Amazon Lily once again.

 Hancock thanks Victoria for her help and she spends the rest of the trip back experimenting with the new fruit power she has gained and how it changes her other abilities. Soon they land back on Amazon Lily and Victoria finally meets with Rayleigh. He tells her that he can't possibly even start to train her devil fruit powers, with how much they could change and render all their work meaningless, he does know of someone that can train her in both Haki and Rokushiki. When he continues to be mysterious, she gets annoyed and yells at him to hurry up. Chuckling, Rayleigh explains that the man he has in mind is an Ex-Admiral named Zephyr and an incredible teacher, the man who taught the current admirals in fact. Confused over why an Ex-Admiral would train her, Rayleigh agrees and states that the man despises pirates for killing his family and hates devil fruit users almost as much. More then a little amazed by just how utterly insane Rayleigh is sounding, she asks him what the hell she's meant to do about that, given that she is both of those things. He just waves her off and says that as long as she pretends to be some explorer wanting to get stronger for justice she'll be fine, as the man is an isolationist that only rarely trains people nowadays and won't recognise her on sight. Handing her the coordinates and a small ship, he wanders off back to Rusukaina. Setting sail, she soon arrives at a small island, where she can see a small house at the top of several cliffs. Steeling herself, she travels to the home and finds a purple haired man waiting for her, seemingly having sensed her approach. He tiredly asks if she's yet another person come to beg to be trained by him, saying that she shouldn't bother as he's left his marine days behind him. As he walks back inside, she announces to him that she's a pirate, that she has the Copy Copy fruit and that she wants to become stronger to protect her crew and make sure she never loses another friend. The man freezes and asks her to repeat what she said. As Victoria repeats her speech, he punches her hard enough to send her crashing into the sand at the base of the island. Charging at her in a rage, they begin to battle, Zephyr's incredible Haki abilities and seastone arm matching and then surpassing Victoria, still inexperienced with her fruits powers and unable to control her light abilities alongside the Moa Moa fruit's power. After just a few minutes, she is left bleeding on the ground and Zephyr leaves her for dead. Healing over the course of the night, Victoria pulls herself up to the house at the peak once again and calls out to Zephyr once again. Once more they fight and Victoria is left defeated, though Zephyr adds a few extra blows to make sure she does not get up again. Nevertheless, she manages to heal from her wounds by midday the next day and repeats her actions. This time the man throws her far out to sea, but she manages to create a raft of Ice and cling to it all night as she heals, before once again returning to the island. For weeks this continues, as Zephyr beats her again and again, her managing to survive and slowly last longer and longer in their fights. For 60 daysVictoria repeats her request to become stronger each morning to the man and slowly, Zephyr's attacks become less brutal.

 After two months of battling, the two find themselves on the beach one night. Victoria is laying in the sand, slowly regenerating from the day's wounds when Zephyr sits in front of her and asks her why she wants to get stronger. She tells him the same reasoning she has for the past 2 months and he tells her it is a futile, pointless reason as she will never be able to make anyone perfectly safe no matte rhow strong she gets. She yells at him, acknowledging that she won't be certain that they're safe but tells him that the thought of not even bothering to try, of not trying to get stronger to protect them, hurts even worse then the thought of them dying. She tells him that she won't even allow herself to be the cause of a friend's death again, and that if it does happen, she'll just get stronger so that it won't happen the next time and the next and the next. She breaks down in tears and screams out that even if she's not strong enough to save them, she never wants to be so weak that she can't stand side by side with them no matter what the foe is. That even if they die, they'll die together and she won't be left alone once more. Thinking back to Usopp's declaration above the Marineford battle, where he declares war against the whole world, despite his own weakness and fear, she affirms herself and looks at Zephyr in the eye. She tells him that she'll become strong enough to stand against the entire world for her crew, whether it be through him or someone else, and that she won't run again. Standing up and sighing, Zephyr tells her that that will of hers is already strong enough to stand against the world. Confused, she looks up only to see his back as he walks away, calling back to her that he expects to see her at the crack of dawn the next morning. A smile spreads across her face and she cheers to the open night sky, before promptly falling unconscious out of exhuastion. Waiting in front of the small cottage early next morning, Zephyr meets her and tells her to follow him. Explaining on the way that he'll only teach her what he knows of Haki and the Six Paths, that her Devil powers are up to her to learn, they arrive at a large clearing and Zephyr tells her that her training officially begins.

 -2 Years Pass-

 The 2 years have changed Victoria and for the better. Emerging from the island that she has spent the past two years on, she now wears the coat of her first hero, Hans. Her power has increased to incredible levels, not just increasing her skill in both Rokushiki, so much that she can now constantly compress her size to a human height, and Haki but also unlocking the Conqueror's Haki to use. Her own training with her devil fruit powers has also progressed, to the point she can easily handle the Moa Moa fruit's powers and has begun to expand on both the light and ice fruit powers too, beyond their basic uses. Just as she leaves, Z asks for one last bout between the two of them. Happily accepting, the ensuing battle tears through much of the island as Victoria revels in her powers, all combined at once. Finally knocking Z down, he smiles when he realises he cannot get up on his own and tells Victoria that she's won. Smiling, she helps him up and walks back to the house with him, thanking him for taking her on as a student. He tells her to get going already, as her crew is waiting for her and she'll need to bounce across several islands to get back to Sabaody. Waving farewell, she disappears with a flash of light as she speeds over to the nieghbouring island, using her light powers to bounce from each one till she approaches Sabaody. She spots Rayleigh waiting on the shore and crashes down beside him in a cloud of dust. Brushing off, she asks him if she's the first to arrive or not. Sighing, Rayleigh explains that she has in fact just missed the crew as they've gone underwater to Fishman Island already to flee the marines. Looking around, Victoria realises they are in fact completely surrounded by Pacifista and Marines, led by Sentomaru. Rayleigh reassures her that he told the others he'd sent her after them shortly, she is annoyed that she'll need to catch up but decides to take care of the marines around her first. Sentomaru tells her not to be arrogant, as she cannot stand against the dozen updated Pacifista that now surround her, but she activates her Light and Moa fruits in response, the absurd speed of her kicks rendering each pacifista to scrap metal in single blow. Extending a hand, she fires dozens of small lasers, made larger with the Moa power, that explode on contact, wiping out dozens of the marines around her. Sentomaru attempts to attack her but she fires a Shigan: Bakuhatsu, blowing a huge hole in the man's chest. More marines begin to flood the clearing, but she lets loose a burst of Conqueror's Haki, knocking the rest out. Rayleigh claps behind her, impressed at the progress she's made. Going red at the praise, she coughs and asks him how she's meant to catch up with the others. He says he has an idea, but that it'd be best to wait until the hornet's nest calms down before she takes a shit in it. Taken aback by his metaphor, she nonetheless follows him back to the small bar he stays at and spends the night, talking with the barkeeper Shakky to catch up on the events that have happened in the world since 2 years have passed, from Akainu's promotion to Fleet Admiral to Blackbeard's continual struggle to gain the title of Yonko to Marco's new leadership of the Whitebeard pirates and their weakening state to the new bounties the Strawhat crew have garnered, including her own of 400 million beli.

 2 days pass and the archipelago seems to have emptied of most marines and pirates. Rayleigh takes Victoria out and points upward, telling her that's her escape route, tearing through the holy city itself. Forced to restrain herself from smacking the older man for another absurd plan, she admits that without a ship and having a devil fruit means she won't really be able to get around except by going over the top. Thanking Rayleigh for all he's done, she blasts off to the wall, using both the light fruit and Soru to ascend rapidly. Flying into the air, she looks over the gorgeous white city that is Mariejois before slamming down into a plaza. Taking off at high speed, she crashes through buildings and people, laughing all the way even as the whole city goes up in arms to chase after her as she chrages through a procession of the Tenryuubito. Her rampage through the city centre is interrupted as a flash of light appears before her and kicks her away. Kizaru had been called due to her attacks on the Tenryuubito, though she laughs it off and says she was just in a rush. The two joke briefly before resuming their fight from two years ago. It is far more even this time and what edge Kizaru has with experience, Victoria makes up for in the absurd power and speed the Moa fruit gives her when combined with Kizaru's light fruit. THe battle between the two light speed humans quickly causes even more destruction then it did back on Marineford, reducing more then a few of the palaces lying around to rubble. Just as the battle reaches it's peak, Victoria places a hand on Kizaru's chest and uses her newest creation for the Rokushiki, the Kamigan, to smash Kizaru into the ground and creating a huge crater around him. Bidding him farewell whilst stunned, she zooms off the other side of the Redline and into the New World in search of her crew.

 Using her nose and Observation Haki to their fullest, Victoria sets about trying to track down her comrades. Hours of searching lead her to a island covered in both ice and fire equally, though the scents are still hours old. Searching through the island, she soon reaches the otherside where she sees a group of marines, including Aokiji below her. Landing roughly once again, she faces off with the admiral. Prepared to fight again, he tells her he has no quarrel with her anymore, as he's resigned from his position. Off balanced already, he then offers the knowledge that the Strawhats are heading to Dressrosa and have only left ten or so minutes prior. He then warns her to not go too high in the sky on the way, lest she run into something dangerous. Confused, she thanks the man and takes a quick look around, noting the number of dead and injured marines. Asking what happened, she finds that Kuzan is already walking away, though Smoker speaks up from the side and informs her that they were attacked by Doflamingo Donquixote, who was driven off by Kuzan. Finding the whole experience a little strange, Victoria sets off running across the water with her Ice powers, noting to the side that Kuzan is doing the same in the opposite direction, in order to track down the Thousand Sunny more easily. It takes her only half an hour to catch up and she leaps aboard the ship, only to have a multitude of weapons pointed at her due to her concealed visage. Laughing, she takes off her cap and greets her friends again, though the crew finds her reduced size to be a shock. Explaining that she'd been held up, she happily caught up with the crew. She met Law at this point too, and was told about the alliance with the Heart Pirates to take on Kaidou and Doflamingo. It is later that night that Victoria finds herself talking alone with Robin, who tells her that she seems very different now. Victoria confirms that she's made her choice and apologises for running.

 The crew arrive at Dressrosa the next day, splitting into teams. Victoria joins Luffy and his team to go find and destroy the secret SMILE factory somewhere on the island, to ensure that even if they are betrayed that the operation to create artificial devil fruits will still be shutdown. On the way, they stop into a bar and meet a blind man seemingly able to control gravity, using it defeat a bunch of swindlers. Chasing them down, Luffy, Franky and Victoria apprehended one and found that his superiors were at Corrida Colosseum for the tournament, where a supposedly amazing prize was on offer to the winner. This prize is the Mera Mera no Mi, Ace’s fruit. Arriving at the Colosseum, Luffy and Victoria enter in Block C and Block A respectively, though Luffy gives both of them disguise names, Lucy and Victoria respectively. Exasperated at her captain’s simple disguise, only worsened when he puts on armour and a fake moustache. The two then split up to their individual sections. Whilst waiting for her bout to start, she noticed one of the crewmembers of Blackbeard’s crew, Jesus Burgess with a bag on his head waiting for the fight as well. Resolving to make sure he didn’t escape again, she entered the arena of Block A’s fight. The gathered gladiators were all wiped out in seconds with a blast of Conqueror’s Haki from Burgess, leaving only him and Victoria standing in the arena. Expressing surprise that someone still stood, he moved to strike her but was thrown back when she kicked him in the head. The two exchanged multiple blows, Burgess’ greater strength compared to her compressed form was outpaced by her own incredible speed and once she started to use the Moa Moa fruit, Burgess found himself on the losing side. Using his Hado Elbow, it was matched by the tenfold speed Sanougan that Victoria used and Burgess was sent off balance. Using this to launch him into the air, Victoria began to kick him further and further up with Geppo till they were hundreds of feet in the air. Releasing her Kami-E compression, she locked the now smaller man into a spinning power bomb, activated her Hundredfold Speed Geppo and slammed Burgess’ head into the floor at horrifying speeds, shattering most of the colosseum in the process. Seemingly killed by the attack, Victoria was declared the victor of the Block A matches, compressing her size once more, and the Block B match was delayed by half an hour so that repairs could be done.

 After the match ends, she goes and meets Luffy, taking some time to find him and eventually running into him just as he provokes a legendary pirate named Chinjao into a fight. The battle is broken up by some of Chinjao's family, who remind him that they can fight in their battle up ahead. Luffy rushes off to the arena for the Block C fight and Victoria moved to the balcony to watch, but was forced to restrain a feminine blonde man that threatened to kill Luffy and then her upon seeing her face under the cap. Finding out that he hated her for being one of the Eleven Supernovas, she tied him up with some wire and watched the battle between Luffy and Chinjao rage on. The match ends and Victoria goes to congratulate Luffy on his win but sees him walking off with a gladiator girl. Deciding her captain can handle himself, she releases Cavendish, extracting a promise from him to not attack her or Luffy with liberal Haki to enforce it, before returning to her perch to watch the Block D battle, her captain appearing beside her soon enough. He wanders off halfway into the battle in search of a better view and a few minutes later Victoria hears screams from outside the arena. Rushing to the outer wall, she finds her captain watching Doflamingo shoot Law outside but, much like her captain, is unable to break the seastone reinforced walls of the colosseum. Luffy races back into the colosseum with Victoria following and meets a long lost friend, Sabo there. Offering to win the Mera Mera fruit for him, he also explains a way out of the colosseum and the pair use it to escape, meeting with Zoro and Viola on the way. They enter the palace that Doflamingo resides in, meeting up with the Thunder Soldier, in truth the legendary Gladiator Kyros, and wait for the signal to advance from Usopp and his team. However, the toy soldier suddenly turns back into a man and rushes off to face Doflamingo. Realising that the toy's across the island are now human, the two also follow Kyros into the throne room, just in time to see him decapitate Doflamingo. This is revealed to be a clone made from Doflamingo's Ito Ito no Mi, the string fruit. He surrounds Dressrosa in the Birdcage, a wall made of strings that slowly begans to move inward on the island, slicing apart everything in it's way. Pica, one of the Donquixote family members, throws Victoria and her group out of the palace and the whole Donquixote family emerges beside Doflamingo. Doflamingo then states that he will spare Dressrosa if they can kill the Strawhat/Heart/Rebel alliance and reward those who get the heads of specific people. Pica takes on a gigantic form hundreds of feet tall and the rest of the family prepares for battle. Victoria and the other's stand in front of the main group of enemies, but Victoria overhears Baby 5 call Doflamingo Joker. Freezing, she looks up and asks her what she just said. Realising who she is, Doflamingo states his amazement that Victoria actually managed to find the legendary copy fruit and confirms that he is in fact the underworld broker known as Joker.

 Shaking with rage as she finally finds her parents' murderer, she snarls to Luffy to get far away from her. Pica leans over, thrusting his fist downward to crush her and creating a massive cloud of dust. His upper body explodes in rubble as a massive figure emerges from the dust, killing the officer instantly, towering several times over the dead Pica even in his stone giant form. Victoria has used the Moa Fruit to multiply her size a hundred times over, standing at just under a half mile tall. Her entire body encased in Haki, she growls to Doflamingo that she will make him watch as she rips apart his family in front of his eyes. Unleashing a blast of light that is so large it consumes the entire top of the mountain behind the palace, she rains down blows on the Donquixote family in her berserk state. A wave of the hand behind her creates a wall of ice to block the rest of the island off and she stretches out her hands, contiuosly firing down immensely destructive lasers. Doflamingo screams at her to stop, deactivating the Birdcage in order to attack with all his might. His strings cut deeply into her body, even severing her arms, but she simply lifts a leg and kicks at the ground, obliterating the palace in a single explosion and killing everything within it. Giving him a more then a little crazed smile, she asks him how it feels to watch them all disappear before him. Launching more strings at her as he screams a promise to end her life, she dodges by jumping high into the air, landing back near her severed arms. Telling him that she is not done taking everything from him yet, large strings emerge from the holes where her arms used to be connected, attaching to the severed limbs and knitting her body back together. Swping at a hand at Doflamingo, several incredibly large strings are flung at him, slicing deep lines into the ground. Using her decades of experience with cutting wires, Victoria soon matches and even surpasses Doflamingo's wires. Forced to run back, the man retreats to the mountain, standing atop it's blasted crater of a peak. Telling her that she is nowhere near his level, he reveals his Awakening and turns the upper half of the mountain into string, surrounding her in what seems like a tidal wave of sharp wires. Activating all of her boosts, from her Moa fruit's speed, to the Dark Side's power up to the Heart of Darkness and beyond, she turns her own wires into a veritable hurricane of force, striking against Doflamingo's attack with the sheer speed of her attacks. The collision of the string storms soon cuts through the ice wall and spreads across much of the island, mile long strings tearing apart the evacuating city. Realising that the sheer amount of Doflamingo's strings will overwhelm her, she compresses her size and launches herself at him at light speed, slamming her feet into his chest and sending him flying off into the sky. Reeling himself back in with string, the man continues to launch the White Heaven clouds at her, but also attacks her physically. Increasing her physical speed with the Moa fruit, the two begin a brutal beatdown on each other's bodies, both sides driven by a desire for revenge now. Victoria's arms give out slightly, due to the hasty surgery down with strings, and Doflamingo uses the opening to pierce her body with wires and fling her down into the city at high speeds, slamming into the SMILE factory at enough speeds to shatter the seastone walls. He repeats this a few more times, before she is able to escape and back off. Both combatants realise that their bodies are starting to give out, both to sheer damage and the strain of using their powers at their absolute limit for so long. Doflamingo prepares his God Threads as Victoria targets the space in front of him with a laser and readies her greatest technique. Flashing in front of him, the man is ready and pierces her chest and body with the God Threads, stabbing into her heart. Her heart is an unholy abomination of undeath however, and she still lives, thrusting both hands against the man's chest and using the Rokukamigan. The attack, dealt with all her remaining power, has enough force to completely blow through Doflamingo's body and everything behind him, creating a path of clear destruction till it reaches the ocean, splitting even that for as far as the eye could see. Exhausted, soaked in blood and crippled with injuries, Victoria falls to her knees before the corpse of the Shichibukai in front of her. The decapitated head of Doflamingo Donquixote croaks out one last curse against her as it hits the ground and lays silent. Looking around at the death and destruction her rage and their battle caused, she begins to laugh at how mad she had gone, tears sliding down her face before she finally falls unconscious.

 She wakes up a week later, on the Thousand Sunny's main deck, surrounded by medical instruments and a constructed tent. Her body has almost fully healed, though she realises that even her healing factor should not have been able to replace her destroyed organs. Looking to the side as someone calls her attention, she finds Law standing there looking particularly tired. He explains to her that it was his power and skill that saved her life, as well as the events that transpired since she fell asleep. Dressrosa had been layed waste to, with thousands dead at her and Doflamingo's hands, and the crew had been forced to flee. Though the battle had destroyed the SMILE factory, accomplishing their main goal, and thus Law thanks her for that, and for killing Doflamingo. Asking why he would thank her after what she did, he explains that he too had done many awful things in his past, and what she had done was for her to deal with. However much it weighed on her heart was up to her alone, and he'd not udge her for whatever she decided. He does note however, that the Strawhat crew does not for the most part share his ideas and that she might find that taking her time to find her own answer before she confronts the others might help a bit. Leaving her alone, she lays there thinking for a time. It takes almost the whole day before she resolves her own motivations and issues with the massacre that had occured and she exits the tent to find Zoro waiting outside. He stares at her for a moment before telling her that the others are waiting inside. She starts to ask why he hasn't condemned her yet but he cuts her off, saying that what she does off ship is her own business and the only opinion he cares for right now is the Captain's. Entering the dining area in her compressed form, she finds the rest of the crew waiting for her. Seeing them silently wait for her to speak, she begins by recounting how Joker, rather Doflamingo, was the one that ordered her parents' murder. She explains how she had held in that rage for over 2 years till she finally met that man and how she had used every bit of her power to make sure he suffered as he died. She says that while she regrets that so many people died because of the fight, if she was in that situation again that she would do the same thing once more. To her, the lives of those people she did not know were not worth the same as her revenge against Doflamingo. She bows her head to the ground and tells the crew that she will leave the ship to make up for the shame she has brought. She lays there for a minute before Luffy finally speaks up, asking what the hell she thinks she's doing. Looking up in confusion, he slams his fist into her face, sending her flying through the dining room wall. Stepping out into the open deck, he points at her and yells that whatever her actions are, so long as she wants to be a part of the crew then she will have a place there and if any of the crew have a problem with her, they can sort it out on their own. Breaking down and apologising again, Luffy hits her one more time and says, to both her and the others, that she has nothing to apologise for to him and that she's a part of his crew, no matter what. Each of the crew comes up to her as she sits on the floor, telling her what they think of her actions but also how they understand her reasons, finishing with an acceptance of her place on the crew. As everyone finishes, she looks up and instead of apologising, screams a thank you to all of her crewmates.

 The crew goes on to fight Kaido and his crew, eventually defeating him. The Pirate Alliance that attacked Shanks fell apart before it could get anywhere. Edward Weevil attacks the Whitebeard Pirates, but with assistance from the growing Strawhat alliance, including the Heart and Bonney pirates, they defeat the man and his mother. Over the next few months as they travel to Raftel, they visit and adventure through several more islands and eventually clash with Big Mam, taking her down in the process. They also battle against the Marines several more times, the rivalry between Victoria and Kizaru only continuing as Victoria herself grows in power to fully match and even surpass the man. The Strawhats grow stronger and stronger as time passes and they eventually approach Raftel. A battle between the Worst Generation begins, but the Strawhats and the Blackbeard Pirates are eventually the only remaining crews. The two face off with each other, the ten members of each crew facing off, with the Strawhats emerging victorious. Before Victoria kills Burgess (For certain this time, vaporising him completely) he reveals to her how the Blackbeard pirates have gained more devil fruits, eating the hearts of fallen foes. After this, they arrive on Raftel and Luffy enters the cave on the island, finding One Piece. The Strawhat pirates emerge with Luffy as the new Pirate King, wearing the same red coat as Gol D Roger.
 ---


 The new crew journeys through the world as each member of the crew accomplishes their dreams. Luffy has become the Pirate King. Zoro defeats Mihawk, claiming the title of the world's greatest swordsman. Nami finishes her map of the entire world. Sanji finds the All Blue at the base of Reverse Mountain. Brook meets Laboon once more. Franky has made and seen through the greatest ship that ever sailed the seas. Robin finds the answer to the void century within Raftel. Chopper creates a legendary cure all. Usopp has long since achieved his dream of becoming a man of the sea. And Victoria no longer desires to be a hero. She only desires to spend the rest of her life with her friends and continue having adventures with all of them. And for years they do. They journey to new islands, new nations and new peoples that grow to their generation. They clash again and again with both pirates and marines, bitter enemies eventually becoming rivalries and friendships.

 All good things come to an end however. 5 years after the coronation of the new Pirate King, Luffy is captured. Hunted day and night by the marines and pirate crews across the world, the Strawhat Pirates are eventually cornered by Admiral Shinu (Smoker). Accompanied by Vice Admirals Coby and Helmeppo, he prepares for a battle against the mighty Strawhat crew, but is instead met by the Pirate King himself, who turns himself in with a smile. Having told his crew that this needs to happen, that he has realised that the world needs the dream of One Piece and that as long as a Pirate King exists, One Piece cannot. Taken to the same stand at Loguetown, he awaits his execution, having told all his allies not to interfere or appear at the event. But as he sits in the same position he did 7 years ago on his first visit to Loguetown, he sees dozens of figures appear on the rooftops around him. All of his crew, his friends from his adventures, his rivals and his enemies have come to watch over his death and the death of the age. Fleet Admiral Sakazuki steps up behind Luffy, ready to serve as his executioner but Luffy begins to speak. He tells the gathered crowd, filled with the next generation of marines and pirates and explorers and warriors, of One Piece, the treasure he and his crew have gathered and hidden beyond even Raftel itself. Telling those gathered to find it, to search for their dreams and grasp it with their own hands. He tells them that the Will of D is passed on to everyone that seeks to be free, no matter who they are. As he finishes, Akainu speaks up, having waited for the Pirate King to give his speech to start the next era of Piracy, asking him whether he's ready to pass on or not. Luffy tells him that he's ready to finall see Ace and looks out over the city. Every last person gathered is crying as they watch him, but also with smiles on their faces at how even now Luffy still inspires them. Akainu impales Luffy with his right arm, Luffy dying with a smile on his face and a familiar laugh, and the old marine has to wipe his own eyes as he stands back up. With the Pirate King's death, the crowd breaks up and the crew of the Pirate King goes their separate ways.

 Zoro would return to his home, taking over the dojo and accepting students and challengers from across the world. Chopper returned to Drum Island and founded a school of medicine that became world renown. Nami went back to Orange village after finalising her map of the world. Usopp returned to his home island and would soon marry Kaya. Sanji and Brook create a Dinner & Show Restaurant at the base of Reverse Mountain, watching over the hiding place for One Piece and serving food and music to every new pirate. Robin joins the revolutionary army and begins spreading the truth of the Void Century, causing even more of the world to rise against the World Government. Franky goes back to Water 7, becoming a partner with Iceburg in the Galley La company. Victoria does not follow any of her former crew, instead setting out to sea once more. Realising that her desire to sail with friends has not faded, she resolves to gather a great crew of her own to continue this dream.

 --50 year Timeskip and the events that happened since---
 Over the years, Victoria slowly gathered a crew from across the Grand Line and New World. At first it was small, but it soon grew to number in the hundreds and then the thousands as she surrounded herself with anyone that desired to sail with her. Eventually, the world began to call her one of the Yonko, the other emperors of the sea alongside the other 3, Trafalgar Law, Jewelry Bonney and an aging Red Haired Shanks. She and her crew, the Stoney Pirates, have their own adventures and one day reach the heights that the former Whitebeard pirates maintained. Victoria's friendships with both the rest of the Yonko as well as many of those in the Marines result in a calmer and more peaceful sea. There are still new pirates ready to cause chaos, but the grand line is one truly of adventure now.

 One day a man appears with the power to seemingly control the sky itself, at the head of a fleet of airships. This is Enel, aged but no less mighty, and with knowledge of Haki to fully utilise his power. He marches against the old crew of the Strawhat Pirates in search of revenge, his cult following with him. He is met instead by the Stoney Pirates in the Florian Triangle. Deciding that he will take vengeance on Victoria first, the two captains clash in the sky above as the enormous crews battle each other below. Whilst Enel's armada has grown truly massive with the religious fervour the man inspires, Victoria's crew has been hardened in the New World and they soon go on the offensive. Above, Enel is doing surprisingly well, using the far greater control his Rumble fruit has over his speed to keep up with the monstrously fast Yonko he faces. Unlike his opponent, he attacks with no regard to those below, letting him use his full power. Using a burst of Conqueror's Haki to crush most of Enel's fleet and signal her own to flee, the two continue the battle for a brief minute before Victoria prepares to end it. Wrapping the man in Haki infused strings to bind him as she flashes above him in the air, she reels him in and uses her Rokukamigun, sending him crashing down into the sea and continuing till he hits the sea floor, hitting with such force that it causes the sea and islands for leagues around to shake. With her crew having retreated, it is a simple matter for Victoria to turn and unleash a barrage of hundredfold light bullets on Enel's fleet, destroying it in just minutes. The battle does not come so easily without loss however, and Enel's attacks killed hundreds of her own crew, thus Victoria comes to a realisation that she needs to become even stronger so that the very idea of attacking her friends and family is unthinkable.

 With this in mind, the captain begins to search for the now nearly-mythical Vegapunk, visiting her old crew members Chopper, Usopp and Franky to question them on what they know of the man. It is during these visits that she notes how old her friends have grown, whilst her werewolf nature has let her stay in eternal youth. She is unable to come to terms with this idea, putting it out of her mind, whilst on the various islands in the East Blue and Grand Line, her rowdy crew getting in no small amount of trouble on peaceful islands like those. It is only after calling in a favour from Pan Fleet Admiral Smoker, in secret of course, that she manages to track the ancient scientist down, in a lab deep under Karakuri Island. The man has become wholly cybernetic, only his brain remaining human and he is incredibly interested in the fruit power that Victoria herself possesses. Pushing past the man's chattering, she asks him on how to get stronger. Disapproving of the idea of using his knowledge solely for power, she reveals that she wants to do so in order to protect her crew. Asking her why she does not simply train her crew to become stronger instead of taking it all on herself. She is silent for a while, before she asks once again on how to become stronger. Throwing his hands into the air, he tells that he'll make her stronger if she stops bothering him. Taking her deeper inside his lab, he reveals a machine that he says can increase the power of her Devil Fruit, though the process is extraordinarily dangerous. Strapping herself into the machine, she tells him to start it already. Activating the machine, power courses into her body, her heart pumping at full power to keep up with the intake. Finally, the machine finishes and she falls on the ground, smoking slightly. Vegapunk reveals that the machine was an experimental one compared to the device previously used to awaken Donquixote Doflamingo's powers decades earlier, though the woman is too tired to be angry. He tells her that her Copy Copy Fruit has now been immediately awakened, though that any copied power will take a long time to awaken but it is still possible. As he leaves the room, he says that she should leave when she's able and not come back again, else he'll use force to prevent her.

 Testing her new powers with her crew, she realises that the number of powers she can copy at once has grown to 6. Realising that the power's her crew possesses are not enough to make her as strong as what she must become, at least in her mind. She asks her crew to search for the Yami Yami Fruit and Ice Ice Fruit's new owners, whilst she goes to her fellow Yonkou Gekkoh Moriah to ask a favour of him. They meet on the sea and Victoria asks to copy Moriahs power, thought the man is still bitter with anger against her for his defeat years ago. He stands to order her death to his crew, but a burst of Haki knocks out most of the crew though the strongest zombies still stand. They attack Victoria in an attempt to stop her, but she quickly defeats them, charging at Moriah. The two Yonko clash, but Gekko is unable to keep up with Victoria and soon she and her fleet lie broken in the sea. She tells Moriah that she won't let any of her crew die again and that he should understand her feelings, whether from violence or age. Leaving the shattered Yonko behind her, she returns to her own crew and soon begins extending her crew to search for the Ice and Dark fruits, waiting for the two to appear.

 -6 month time skip-
 Victoria's increasing protectiveness of her crew begins to destabilise the world once more. Her attack on another Yonkou and her continual lashing out at anyone that attacks her crew soon causes old grudges to be brought back all over the world, not just towards her but between all pirates. Even her own crew has begun to become nervous around the erratic captain, especially during the rages that she barely keeps from affecting them. It comes to a peak when the user of the Yami Yami no Mi is discovered in Sabaody Archipelago, having attacked a member of the Tenryuubito. Realising that an Admiral would be on the way, Victoria rockets off to the archipelago at her top speed, reaching it in just minutes from the New World but is still too late to stop the death of the Yami Fruit user. Sent into yet another fit of rage, she attacks the Admiral, a grown up Tashigi, and their battle spills over into Mariejois. Consumed by anger at being denied her goal, Victoria creates a Light Bomb, multiplying it's size a hundredfold and releasing it, erasing both Tashigi and the holy city in a flash of light. She is then called by her second, Kana, who reports that the Darkness Man is still alive, barely. Flashing back down to him, she almost tears off the man's arm as she copies his power. The man takes the oppurtunity to grab her, nuetralising her powers and yelling for those around to take her down. No one steps up however, cowed by her immense Haki and she crushes the man beneath her heel. Telling her crew that they have one left to go, they leave to resume their search. Victoria's actions here would unite the world against her, as both marines and pirates realise that she is perfectly willing to kill everyone and everything to protect her crew, even if her crew doesn't want her protection anymore. The Stoney Pirates are too scared to go against their captain however, fearing what she would turn into if she was betrayed by her crew. As she homes in on the Ice Fruit User, in Dressrosa of all places, the powers of the world gather to fight her.

Descending from the sky over Dressrosa, she finds that the country has taken up arms to unite against her, many of the citizens still remember the battle between herself and Doflamingo decades ago. She simply extends a hand and fires, raining down holy light on the people waiting below, killing many in an instant and sending the rest running for cover. She lands and moves into the city, trying to draw out the Devil Fruit user rumoured to be in the city. Her crew does not follow her, not just staying on the ships but retreating from the island, but Victoria pays no heed to them. An hour of searching proves fruitless and she starts to get frustrated, the familiar anger rising up in her once again. Realising how quiet the city has gotten, she looks around and sees that an armada of ships, both marine and pirate, have surrounded the island. Now knowing it's a trap, she prepares to go deal with the attackers but a man steps in front of her. Instead of some fresh rookie or even a experienced pirate, she finds herself facing an ancient, white haired Kuzan. He condemns her actions, telling her that she's become little better then men like Doflamingo or Kaidou in her obsession with protecting her friends. Victoria tells him to be quiet and attacks, easily defeating the old man and taking his power. Roaring her triumph to the world, Kuzan takes the chance to try and freeze her solid but is shot through the heart for his efforts. Still, the gathered forces use that moment to attack, raining down cannonfire and devil fruit powers as well as charging at her. Using a x100size on a sword of light, she spins and destroys the forces gathered on the islands ridges, forcing the army to fight her directly. The forces begin to beat her back, the combined might of the world too much for even her, but she simply blinks into the sky and begins to once more rain down explosive lasers, thinning the enemy forces considerably. Landing once finished, she considers the fallen opponents and tells them that ever trying to attack her crew was a foolish effort and that they should learn from the experience that day. She is interrupted when her own crew appears in front of her, weapons drawn. She asks them what they are doing, and they tell her that they can no longer stand by and let her rampage as she please, that they no longer wanted her to protect them. Hearing her crew seemingly reject her like this, she is quiet for a moment, before speaking up and telling them that she'll need to punish them for lying to her like that. Appearing before them with a kick of light readied, she is blocked by a swordsman with 3 blades. Knocked away by another figure kicking her, she looks up and sees her old crew, all in their late 60s to early 70s or even beyond, standing before her. They tell her that whatever issues she has, they end then and there. Realising that, as they look on her wrathful features, they will have to fight, they ready their weapons.

The battle commences with all nine of the Strawhat Crew fighting Victoria. Though age has sapped some of their power, they are still people worthy to be on the crew of the Pirate King and together they match the godlike Yonkou before them. The island of Dressrosa, where she first showed the rage that would lead, doesn't last long under the battle between the 10 combatants and soon they are forced to battle in the sky and on the frozen sea. As she fights, Victoria begins to notice things about her old friends. Usopp's arm shakes as he aims his rifle and Zoro's do the same when he blocks her blows. Brook's movements seem clumsier, Franky's just a bit too mechanical. The heat of Sanji's blows is less then she remembered. Chopper's fur has grown shaggy and wiry. Nami makes mistakes in where she aims her weather strikes and Robin's Hana fruit feels less like a iron grip and more of a gentle caress. Victoria's blows are as strong as ever however, slamming into them again and again till they can barely stand. At this moment, Usopp screams out to and begs her to stop and look around her. To see the destruction and pain she brings to everyone around her, including the friends she claims to want to protect so much. He yells at her to look at her former crew and see how she is hurting them. He drops his weapon, the others following suit, and spreads his arms wide. Telling her that if she truly wants to protect her friends so much, she will stop this fight, and if she doesn't, to just strike them down right there. Looking around, Valerie sees the ruins of Dressrosa and the fleet around her, the countless bodies of marines, pirates and even members of her own precious crew. She sees the wounded bodies of her first friends and their eyes, full of belief in her even now, staring straight at her. It is all she can do to fall to her knees and scream, unable to handle the knowledge of what she had done when confronted with it, with her hypocritical actions. The battlefield lays silent as she continues to yell into her hands, even her crew simply standing across from her silently. Eventually, she rises and turns without a word, walking off into the sea as ice rises before her feet. Feeling something behind her, she turns, almost out of sight of the battlefield. Watch she sees is her old crew, each holding their hands up into the air with a bloody X scratched into their wrists. She bows her head, hiding the tears that pour from her eyes, and flashes away into the sky, leaving the world behind to recover.

-3 year time skip-

Three years after the destruction of Dressrosa and, officially at least, Victoria's defeat, supposedly, at the hands of the World Government, she has retreated to a secluded island in Skypiea, offered the remote area by Gan Fall as a gift since he had little need of his old home. Much of her time is spent meditating, training her powers and attempting to control the anger inside her, to little success, and talking with the few people that come to visit her, mostly Urouge who brings her news of the events down from the Blue Sea. One day he comes to her to tell her of the massive disasters that have become to spring up across the world. Gigantic earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes and eruptions occuring over all the seas, with entire islands being destroyed at times. While saddened by the knowledge, Victoria believes that there is little that makes it her issue, as she sees it as better off if she does not return to the world ever. Only when Urouge reveals that these disasters are always predicated by the appearance of a thick fog and three giant towers with glowing red tips in the sea, does she realise she must get involved. Asking Urouge if there is anyway to know immediately when the next disaster commences, he gives her an metallic Den Den Mushi, saying it is the latest model the marines are using to communicate across the world and that she'd hear the next time the alert was sounded. A day later, the snail rings and Victoria is speeding off in that direction, using her Light and String powers to zoom across the world in seconds. She appears in front of the three pillars, seeing that the towers are infact gigantic fleshy eyestalks. She remembers seeing a creature just like this many years ago behind the ruins of Thriller Bark and attacks, realising it is one of the legendary Florian Triangle Monsters. Her powers allow her to easily dismember the three eyestalks, but the water below her bulges as something massive emerges from under the sea. A giant monster, easily big enough to devour an entire island and measuring a dozen or more miles across has appeared, it's roar dispersing the thick fog around it. Taking her giant form, Victoria surrounds the beast in string and freezes the water around it, trapping the struggling creature in ice and wire. Landing on the saved island behind her, she observes the creature. It looks almost like a gigantic mutated crab/shellfish hybrid and snarls at her, obviously devoid of any sentience. Waiting for the approaching marine ships to arrive, she is eventually met by a pink haired officer, who reveals that he is in fact the son of Admiral Coby. Explaining to Victoria that they've been trying to track down the creatures for over a year now and that she's the first one to get there fast enough. He also tells her that the World Government is holding a meeting soon with the Shichibukai and even the Yonkou, such is their desperation to solve this threat. Asking why he's not attacking her, given that she is the most wanted woman in the world at that point, he tells her that he both has a policy against taking suicide missions and that he sees her as the best chance at stopping the monsters. She blinks away back in the direction of the Marine HQ, to see the meeting.

Soon arriving at the HQ, she feels out a gathering with her Haki and lands in at the window to the meeting room. The gathered Marines and Pirates are shocked to see her, many of whom had been present at the battle 3 years ago and most draw their weapons at the sight of her. A voice asks them to stand down, revealed to be Fleet Admiral Smoker, and he asks if she's come to offer her help,having been informed of her capturing the beast over in the West Blue. She says she has and Smoker asks the rest of those gathered to allow her presence and Usopp, standing from the other side, asks the pirate side to do the same. He quickly explains to her what he has found inside the Redline, stories of a God of the Sea appearing and destroying the world many centuries ago. He reveals to those gathered that this is part of what happened within the Void Century, to many protests. Continuing, he explains that the creatures that have been causing disasters are merely offspring of the greater beast, something so big and strong it could ram through the Redline if it desired and do so with ease. The reason for the attacks is that something has struck the beast and started the process that will lead to it waking up, and it's children are gathering food to help this process. Revealing that the body of the Sea God is largely underneath the Florian Triangle, Usopp is asked where the rest of the body is, and reveals that the creature is so big that the entire Florian Triangle fits on it's back. Telling those gathered that the only path he believes would work is to enter the beast and kill it from the inside. The gathered then discuss how such a feat will be accomplished, where they will even find an entrypoint and who will go along on the mission. Victoria speaks up at this point, telling everyone that she will take the mission. At first protests are raised, but soon the group agrees that her destructive power gives her the best chance of killing the beast.  She refutes any offers for others to go along, saying that they won't be able to keep up with her. At this point the meeting breaks up, Usopp telling the others that he is unwilling to reveal the method they will use to get to the Sea God. He walks with Victoria, telling her what little he has gathered about the Sea God and his belief that her battle with Enel was what caused the beast to begin to awaken. Moving onto the ship he has borrowed to get to the HQ, he then reveals to her that he has lied about what the monsters attacking the world are, and even the revelation of the Void Century was partially false. He tells her that the religion within the Redline worshipped the Sea God as a benevolent being, for saving them from something worse, and that the 3 eyed creatures that she had fought were recorded as 'demons'. Usopp tells her that he believes something is making these beasts and that he believes the old legend of where the Devil Fruits originate, the Sea Devil, is true. The two then sail off to Fishman Isle, to get the method of transportation Victoria will use.

When they arrive, he takes her to a coral reef just on the islands outskirts, where awaits Queen Shirahoshi and a old ship. The Thousand Sunny, surrounded by a special air bubble coating, is readied for one more voyage. Shirahoshi brings forth a gigantic Sea King, telling Victoria that the leviathan will guide her to the mouth of the Sea God, but she will need to make her own way to it's heart. Setting sail, she waves farewell to the two on the shore and steers the ship alongside the Sea King. The two take almost a full day to reach their destination, waiting andmaking minor course adjustments to follow. Once they arrive however, they begin to dive for close to an hour, till their surroundings are pitch black and the only light is from the lanterns on the ship. Raising her arms, Victoria creates a giant ball of light to reveal the surroundings and finds her face to face with a set of mountainous teeth before her, each one slowly raising and lowering as the beast breathes. Knowing she needs to enter the creature, she sets the ship to sail forward and is forced to activate the Coup de Burst to get past the current surrounding it, though the sheer pressure splinters parts of the ship, including the mast. Entering it's mouth, she sails up till she emerges into the open air, finding herself in a massive cavern. Jumping onto the raised tongue, leaving the Sunny behind, she continues down the creatures throat, using her ice and light powers to avoid or block any water that comes near her. As she descends the throat, she sees several huge demons begin to crawl up towards her. Unfreezing the water above her, she watches as it washes them away before she continues down. Her Observation Haki allows her to sense a great and terrible presence to her side, and she realises she needs to get through the side of the throat to find the heart. Using her String, she begins to cut a hole into the side of the throat and exits into a hallway with red fluid gushing through. Realising these corridors are it's veins, she zooms along them in the direction of the pounding heart and soon enough emerges into an immense chamber. Above her floats a giant red orb like organ, but she knows her goal is further in. Using her string to cut further and further in, she eventually finds a chamber the size of a performance hall, inside which waits her targets. Embedded in the walls of the heart are twisted roots, all culminating in the centre of the room, in which a gnarled, blackened tree sits. Acrossthe branches that spread from it hang multi coloured fruits of varying shapes, devil fruits she notes, and at it's base sits a figure. Though his skin has become mottled and disfigured, his eyes blood shot and the roots of the tree itself embedded in his back, Victoria nonetheless recognise Enel when he grins at her. He confronts her, gloating about how he is finally a true god, and that he will judge her and everyone else for their sins when he orders the Sea God to bring ruin to the world. Telling him that he is nothing more then a puppet for the Sea Devil, he continues ranting, seemingly unable to hear her or uncaring. Deciding to end it, she blinks in front of him and prepares a kick of light, but Enel catches it, her light powers instantly nullified. Bragging of how the Devil tree means that no Devil Fruit powers will work on him anymore, she twists and slams her other foot down onto his head, crushing him into the ground. Telling the man she doesn't need her powers to break a man so stupid he can't even remember his powers no longer apply, she charges for the tree itself but is yanked back when a root pierces her body and throws her back. Enel rises, his face twisted in demented rage, and pushes a hundred razor sharp tree roots at her. Vicotira uses the Rankyaku: Ran to slice them apart, and rains down Haki infused blows on Enel. Despite the brutal beatdown, she is unable to deal lasting damage as he simply regenerates and sends more tree roots at her. Knowing that she cannot hold out long, she attempts to charge over Enel but is once again caught, this time pierced through each of her limbs and held up into the air. Despite her struggles, more and more roots pierce her body, preventing even her great strength from letting her escape. The fallen god begins to laugh at her capture, but stops when her entire body turns into mist and charges at him. Bug eyed, he can do nothing but watch in shock as Victoria appears before him and obliterates everything below his body with the RokuKamigan. The blast tears through the walls of the heart and even the organ lining outside of it but the tree itself remains barely damaged. Her strongest attack not harming the tree, she racks her brain for what might harm the Devil Tree, coming to a sudden realisation. Looking down, she sees that a single thick root is still connected to Enel's slowly regenerating head. Grabbing his neck tightly to prevent it regenerating further, she begins to pull with all her might. Calling on every awful memory she can, she works herself into a black rage, turning into her giant form and continuing her struggle. The tree begins to be torn from the ground, uprooted faster and faster as Victoria begins to gain momentum until even the roots stuck in the heart walls are ripped free. Many of the roots search for the nearest life to drain from, digging into Victoria's flesh even as she runs back the way she came, through the quickly closing holes in the Sea God's inner body. As she runs, Enel's decapitated head screams at her, first in his voice and soon enough into a deeper, warbling tone she recognises as that of the Devil's itself. Ignoring it, she jumps into the throat once more, throwing the tree up as far as she can and watching as it embeds itself into the lining above her. Creating a portal of darkness below her, she begins to fire x100 light blasts into it as fast as she can as the Devil above her gloat through Enel, mocking her attempts at using the Devil Fruit powers it can so easily block. After a minute she closes the portal and Victoria looks up and tells the creature that the attack she just used is not intended for it. She gathers the same ball of darkness in her hand and throws it down the Sea God's throat, waiting till she can no longer see it before announcing "Liberation". Devil Enel's eyes widen as he hears the sound of an enormous amount of rushing water coming from below, growing louder and louder. His eyes meet Victoria's and she grins, leaping at him and tackling him, ripping his roots free from the flesh wall as she does. Instinctively, it stabs it's roots into her to drain her life, unconsiouscly anchoring itself. The gout of water smashes into them and disables them both, the Sea Devil's natural enemy, and they ride it back up the throat and into the mouth. As they are flung out into the open sea, Victoria can see the Devil screaming in rage at her, the sound muted by the water and she grins at it, tightening her arms as much as she can to prevent the beast esecaping as they drown. Noticing it hold it's breath, she rears her head back and then headbutts it, unleashing every last bit of Haki she can and the Devil is forced to open it's mouth, taking in all the salty ocean water around it. Watching as it's eyes go blank and the roots in her body withdraw, the devil falls into the sea, it's body spintering apart as it goes. Victoria smiles as her vision begins to go fade, knowing that she has won and stopped the Sea Devil from ever threatening the world again. Just as her mind goes blank, she feels a great pressure on her body and then nothing.


Part 4. Epilogue of One Piece.

Victoria opens her eyes, the sun shining above her and the sounds of waves and seagulls surrounding her. Blinking away the sand in her eyes, she sits up and looks around. She is on a beach, not the bottom of the ocean and alive too. A voice speaks up from behind her, asking how long until she greets her old friend. She spins around and finds Usopp standing behind her, grinning at her. Laughing at the bewildered look on her face, he tells her that she's washed up on his home island, just outside Syrup Village. He sits down besides her and looks out to see. She asks him how she survived and whether he had gone in after her. Usopp laughs again, telling her it must have been the sea itself that had carried her back to a safe place and that she'd been gone for close to a month. Victoria looks out onto the ocean and thinks of the pressure she had felt just before she blacked out, thoughts of the Sea God's breath pushing her to the surface and guiding her here in her mind. She smiles and murmurs a thanks to the sea before her. Usopp tells her of what has happened since her journey to defeat the creature. The tale of how a lone and unnamed pirate sailed down to stop the great monster causing the disasters has spread far and wide, in no small thanks to the revolutionaries now using her as a martyr against the world government who attempted to claim credit for the action. He states that both the revolutionaries and many sympathisers are now moving for a final push to topple the Gorosei and their corrupt institution. The two sit in silence for a while, enjoying the feeling of the sun on their faces. Eventually, Victoria speaks up. She asks her old friend whether he regrets going on a journey with her and the other Strawhats after all this time. Usopp does not speak for a while, his eyes closed but he then stands up. He points out to the sea, where a small boat is setting sail from the island. He tells her that that is his grandson, setting sail to become a great man of the sea, like his father, grandfather and great grandfather before him. Usopp says that if he had never gone with Luffy and her and everyone else, he would never have seen that boy set sail. He tells her that for better or worse, what had happened in her life had happened. She should treasure the memories she held with her friends and move onto the future without looking back. Stretching his back, he begins walking back to the village away from her as she thinks on the ground. Turning, he calls back to her and tells her to look closer at the ship sailing away. She looks, focusing her eyes, and sees the lone sailor on the ship waving at them, with an old battered strawhat on his head.

A shining light appears around her and Victoria fades away, a happy smile spread across her face.
