AN:- I AM BACK FOR SOME MORE COOKING. MY EXAMS ARE OVER, SO ChapterS WILL BE REGULAR FROM NOW ON. I WILL UPDATE YOU GUYS ON THE SCHEDULE LATER ON.ANYWAYS, HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOY Chapter 49.
[PREVIOUSLY ON GAMER PIECE]
Silvers Rayleigh is sitting next to me sipping on a drink with a carefree smile. He looks to me, making me look at him.
"You were sent here by GAIA right?"
".....Whut?" I blink rapidly as my mind does not understand what Rayleigh just said. Gaia? Like the Gaia from the manhwa or the word Gaia which is used to describe Earth in many iterations of religions?
"Well, from your reaction, it seems that you are the prophesized one." My brain short-circuits again as Rayleigh shrugs before continuing to drink, leaving me in my own mind. I am a Prophesized one? AND Rayleigh randomly spoke about GAIA of all people.
Yeah, I must be stupid not to see how connected this is to each other.
"What did the Prophecy Say?" Rayleigh looks at me in surprise, and I wonder why. It seems that Rayleigh was surprised as to how fast I recuperated from him implying that he knows about me. He is impressed though.
"Wait, what Prophecy?" Robin looks at me in surprise, while I shrug at her. Rayleigh looks at Robin's expression and understands that I haven't told the others of my 'true' past. He looks at me, his amusement visible. I look amused too, the fact that I am prophesized to come to this world is hilarious to me.
Why?
Because Now, I have a reason to create more chaos. For some odd reason, I am getting addicted to creating chaos, no idea why.
"So, what does the "Prophecy" say?" I give air quotes to indicate that I am amused by the whole thing, and humoring Rayleigh. Rayleigh chuckles, but he doesn't answer though.Robin narrows her eyes, realizing that both me and Rayleigh know something she doesn't. She listens closely to the words coming out of Rayleigh's mouth.
"When the Third World Begins
Gaia will not stay silent
Someone knowing the world will wreak havoc
Havoc which will make the Sun god laugh
Havoc which will bring Harley the truth
Ctrl W-A-S-D, Ctrl S and Ctrl N."
I blink, confused at the last part. All the other parts, I understand, but the last two, it sounds familiar, but how it is connected with everything else, I don't know. As I am contemplating, Robin starts dissecting the prophecy.
""Someone knowing the world will wreak havoc", meaning that someone with the knowledge of the world will cause havoc. Which is what you are doing." Robin looks at me, making me smile at her. She narrows her eyes once again, but continues trying to decipher the entire thing.
""Havoc that will make the Sun god laugh", the Sun god was Nika-" Robin snaps her head towards Luffy, who perks up as he notices Robin look at him. I grin as she figures it out, even I figure out what the last two sentences say.
Rayleigh looks towards Luffy as well, his eyes widen as he has a grin.
"Hahah-HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Rayleigh grabs onto his stomach as he laughs hilariously, realizing that Luffy is NIKA, or at least the one who ate Nika and became the 2nd Joyboy.
"Oh, Roger, you will die laughing at this." After laughing his heart out, he looks up, chuckling a bit. He looks towards me, and I grin. He grins too, both of us easily understanding each other's thoughts.
"Hey Old man, why are you laughing?" Luffy asks with a smile, and that Smile...makes Rayleigh notice something. He sees the hat, and that smile, and he remembers THAT person-
Roger.
"Nothing. It's just an inside joke." Rayleigh remembers his old days, and how he used to answer his captain when he wanted to manipulate his captain into doing something for him.
"Oh, what is that?" Rayleigh chuckles at Luffy's response, seeing so many similarities between Roger and Luffy. He remembers Shanks saying how there was a kid in the East Blue who said the same dream as Roger.
"Nothing." Rayleigh shakes his head, turning to the bar and drinking his drink, reminiscing about his past. The fact that Roger wanted to meet the person who is now in front of him, AND wearing his hat? Roger would die from laughing from the irony.
Shakky brings us food and notices Rayleigh's expression. Knowing him the most in the world (Alive that is), she changes the subject.
"So, what are you guys planning to do now? From what I have heard, the crew is split up." Shakky makes conversation, and Hatchi, who acts like he remembered something immediately, gets up and talks to Rayleigh about it.
"Oh Ray-san, could you coat their ship? I promised to help them after they saved Camie and Papaag from a Sea King." Hatchi looks pleading, but I look towards Rayleigh with a smile, having an idea. If I play it right-
Scratch that, I am confident that Rayleigh will help us with Ace.
"Well, first, we will pick up our crew from G-1 Marine Base, and then head to Marineford for the upcoming war that is about to be held-" As I try to explain my plan in a much convoluted way, Luffy interrupts me.
"We need to save my brother Ace." Luffy looks to Rayleigh in determination, which Rayleigh is surprised by. He didn't expect Luffy to have a brother, but the next words out of Luffy's mouth surprise him.
"Ace is your old Captain's son, old man, will you help us?" Rayleigh's eyes widen in shock, and I sigh. I wanted to make it a step-by-step process where I wanted to reveal Ace's heritage to Rayleigh as I explain my entire plan to him, and the crew.
I didn't give them the entire plan, and the entire crew is listening in right now, thanks to my trusty system.
"What? Portgaz D. Ace is Gol D. Roger's son?" Even Shakky is shocked at this. Robin, me, and Luffy know about this, but if Franky was here, he would have been shocked. Franky is currently getting us the Adam Tree wood from the black market, mostly stealing it.
"Yeah, he didn't like it when me and Sabo used to talk about Roger though. He used to hate his old man, don't know why though. Roger was a cool person in my personal opinion." As Luffy scratches his head as to remember WHY Ace used to hate his old man, Rayleigh drinks even more.
"So, back to our conversation. We need to go back to Marineford and save Ace. Will you help us with that?" I decide to come out directly, showing my intention. Rayleigh gulps another swing of his beer, before looking at me-
Really looking at me. His face is emotionless, so I cannot glean what his emotions are. So, I do what I normally do-
'Observe-'

Rayleigh is the right hand of the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger. He was the first mate and sailed with Roger majority of his life, before retiring and marrying Shakuyaku, living in Sabaody Archipelago, working as a Coating Mechanic.
Emotions - Shocked, Amused, Happy.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Rayleigh starts laughing so hard that he slips from his seat, clumsily falling to the ground. The drink is spilled, but he doesn't care as he continues laughing, amused at the fact that Roger has a son, who is a pirate.
The same Ace he helped when Ace arrived at Sabaody years ago for coating. The fact that Ace hates his own father is extremely amusing to him. He remembers how Roger used to say that his own son will be the chosen child. Oh, the irony. Hell, Ace went on to serve under Newgate of all people.
He should have realized that Ace was Roger's son. Roger's trusty sword's name was Ace.
As Rayleigh laughs, he sheds some tears, remembering how Roger used to gloat about his child. He didn't know that Ace was THAT child. All of us stay silent as Rayleigh gets up from his laughter, looking towards me and-
Shakes his head?
"I can't. Roger never told us to save his son's life. Not only that, but this is not our era, so me stepping in to save Ace when he didn't ask for it, it's not something I want to do."
Dude what the fuck?
I knew that the old bastards don't actively involve themselves in this era because this is not their era, but not even being involved when your own captain's son is in danger? Rayleigh is basically his uncle, what kind of bullshit is this?
Whitebeard involved himself during the war in this era because of Ace. Garp HIMSELF was moving when Koby was kidnapped. Hell, even Rayleigh stood up to Blackbeard for Boa, so why the fuck does he not do the son of his captain-
"Oh, okay then." Luffy nods like it is not a big deal, and for the first time ever, I am pissed off at Luffy's attitude. While I am calm on the outside, I am
"Think about it for a minute. Me and Franky had 8 days of continuous working to finish this ship, so—" as I try to finish, something gets stuck in my mind, like an epiphany or something.
Me AND Franky—
Of course, I don't need to go to Impel Down, I can just send someone. I am not alone in this, I have the entire backing of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, and I have just the person whom I should make use of.
"Hmmmmmm...." Luffy closes his eyes in concentration, before opening them and really looking at the ship. I look at it too and remember the details at which me and Franky discussed it. The biggest issue about making such a big ship was that it cannot be used by humans properly, but me and Franky circumvented that by adding boosters.
We also added an interesting thing in the mast, which would allow the ship to move in different directions when at intense speed. It has a power supply, which is generated through the use of hydropower. A big generator, easily the size of Merry, is inside one of the rooms, so when the ship moves through water, the kinetic energy from the water is used to run the generator.
The generator then runs, creating lightning, which is used for boosters. Not only that, but all three docks can be used simultaneously, so we could cover the ship with glass, and fly in the sky like a rocket thanks to the boosters. We have also created a device to generate oxygen, through the process of electrolysis. Electrolysis is the process of using electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.
That device is named an electrolyzer, connected to the hydro generator. We have a total of three hydro generators, one for each booster — a total of three boosters actually. Hell, we even have a system where all three boosters—
These are just the tip of the iceberg about the ship. Having access to the internet really helped with the making of this awesome ship, and Franky agrees with me.
"The ship is red, like a fire. So, it's Inferno—" Luffy stops, before looking at the ship, especially at the figurehead, representing his straw hat.
"...Dante's Inferno."
I blink, surprised at the name. If I remember correctly (and yes, I fact-checked it!), Dante's Inferno is a game based on the novel Inferno, where a character named Dante travels the circles of hell with a poet named Virgil—
Everyone feels the ship shivering, as if the entire ship is reacting to the name. Merry's eyebrows widen in shock, and she looks towards the ship.
"It-it likes the name," Merry speaks in awe, making me and Franky look at her in shock. We knew that she could speak to ships, but when we were building the ship — I mean, Dante's Inferno — Merry never heard any voice from the ship.
Did the name give it life—?
"Nice. Dante's Inferno, you are the ship of the Future King of the Pirates, the Strongest Swordsman, the person who is going to draw the map of the entire world, the person who is going to find All Blue, the person who is going to be a Brave Warrior of the Sea, a Doctor who can cure everything, a man who wants to create as much Chaos as he wants—"
I blink, surprised. I know that Luffy is stating everybody's dreams, but where the hell did he get that I wanted chaos? Hell, even I don't know my dream, except making Luffy the Pirate King. Now that I think about it, what is my dream—?
"—An Okama who wants to show the world the strength of Okamas, an archaeologist who wants to know the truth of this world, two Shandorians who want to explore the world which was hidden from them, a ship who wants to fight with us, a man who wants his ship to go all around the world. Are you okay with that?"
Luffy has a wide grin on his face, and the grin is so contagious that all of us also grin—
*ROARRRRRRRRR*
A demonic (I don't know what else to call that) roar screeches from Dante's Inferno, and all of us get shocked. All of us look towards one another, confirming if we all heard it. All of us look at the ship, and if possible, the ship feels... powerful, like it has a dream now.
"D-Dante's Inferno is ready to bring all of us to our goals, whatever happens." Merry communicates, her eyes widened in wonder.
All of us—
Grin, excited.
Even the crew in G-1 Base, who are listening to everything and viewing the situation through the Party System, are also grinning.
"Let's go explore the ship!!" Luffy jumps in excitement, making Franky show Robin and him the way, Merry following both of them. As I walk behind, I stop, resuming my previous thought process before things went kinda chaotic.
I remove a Transponder Snail, before ringing a particular number. I let it ring, and as the snail is picked up on the other end, I wear a grin—
"Hey Foxy, I have an important job for you."
—--—-------------------------------------------------------------------
For an entire hour, me, Merry, and Franky show the ship to Luffy and Robin, along with the rest of the imprisoned crew through the Party System. As we get near the deck (similar to Going Merry, having grass and stuff), we talk about setting sail, but—
Me and Luffy snap our heads towards Sabaody, sensing something immediately. Both of us look at each other, and Luffy nods at me, signaling that he sensed it too—
*ROAAARRRRRRR*
All of us look towards the roaring, and see—
A giant, monstrous dog with three heads, sharp teeth, lolling tongues, and spiked dog collars around each of its three necks rushing towards the ship with insane speeds, almost too fast for even me. Before anyone could do anything, it slams into the ship, making the ship rock back and forth.
"YOU BASTARDDD!!!" Luffy screams in rage, surprisingly summoning the inventory and putting his hand into it, taking out one of his Rumble Balls. He pops it into his mouth as he uses Soru to rush towards the edge of the ship and jump towards the dog—
No, it is a Cerberus.
Luffy takes on a reddish tint, his hair flowing into a pinkish/reddish tint, with smoke coming out of his mouth, surrounding his body like an awakened Zoan fruit, which is the same smoke as the Cerberus.
"Franky, initiate Route R." I give Franky a command, and after shaking off the shock, Franky nods, immediately rushing inside of the ship, to the control center.
"What is happen—" As Robin starts to speak, a glass immediately covers her, which comes from the deck. Robin is shocked as to what happened, but I don't look at her, instead looking above in the sky, waiting for some 'people' to come to us.
"HITO-HITO NO - JET PYTHON!" Luffy has smoke around his body as he shoots his hand at Cerberus, who dodges with insane speed. All of the punches are dodged, but Luffy's punches ricochet out of the air and target the damn dog, taking the dog further away from the ship.
I take out my Seven-Star sword, lighting it on fire as I can clearly see two people standing on a bird made out of something.
'An arrow.' I realize who they are, I mean, it is simple enough since I have read the latest Chapters. The bird is made out of white strips, easily able to be told due to the bird looking hollow.
I look at the passengers of the bird, a young woman of average height, having light hair and appearing to have a dark right eye, and a light left one.
I jump into the air using Geppo, changing the hot red flames into a greenish smooth flame, as I eye the second person who is with the woman—Gunko being her name.
A tall man of lean, muscular stature, sporting long hair arranged in a small braid to the left side of his head and some facial stubble. Wearing a regal ensemble consisting of a high-class military tailcoat fastened with frog closures, a pair of light trousers (with dark straps on the left thigh), dark gloves, thigh-high metallic boots, and a cravat wrapped over his neck. He keeps a saber over his left hip, held in place by a shoulder belt.
The most important thing is that this person is wearing a black robe, and Gunko is wearing the same thing.
"THE FUCK-!" Luffy screams in shock, pointing at the person who is on the bird.
Figarland Shamrock.
THE END
