One Piece: the lost kingdom

Luffy cocked his head to the side "Kate Jones?" Luffy repeated making sure he had the name right.
"Never heard of him."

"I have." Robin said, everyone on the deck then turned to her.
Robin sighed as she adjusted herself on the swing set just below the tree. "Kate Jones, sometimes going by his title 'the Storm Cloud' was one of The Seven Warlords Of The Sea, he was known to conquer islands and destroy any all government that the islands may have had, hence why he became a Warlord to began with."

"He also had some kind of power." Twilight began to explain, standing up from the grass. "He was able turn his body into a cloud."

Robin gave a concerned expression. "That sounds like his devil fruit." She said as she began to play with her hair "There have been rumors that he possessed one, however not many have seen it as he tends to kill anyone that crosses him."

Twilight thought back to Celestia, and what the Warlord had done to the Princess.
"Wait... when I met him he did... something to my mentor." Twilight explained feeling more nervous the more she learned about this invader.

Everyone turned to Twilight as she spoke.

"He used his power to... control her." Twilight said not sure how to explain what she saw that day.

"So the rumors are true." Robin said grimly.

"What rumors?" Sanji asked blowing out a puff of smoke.

Robin shifted on the swing trying to find a way to explain everything.
"You see... there were stories that when you where being attacked by Jones a thick fog would cover the ships, disorienting anyone one board, however there were stories of crew members being controlled by the fog, attacking each other.... and sometimes even themselves."

"SOOO COOOLLL!!!!" Luffy yelled with stars in his eyes.

"NO NOT COOL!!!" Usopp yelled looking terrified.

Franky took a sip of his cola. "What do you mean by 'was'?"

Robin blinked. "I'm sorry?"

"You said he 'was' a warlord, not that IS a warlord." Franky explained.

Robin smiled "True... I may have let out one detail." The woman admitted.
"Kate Jones stepped down from his title, and nobody knows why."

"If you don't mind me asking, what is a Warlord of the Sea?" Twilight asked.

Robin stood up from the swing and looked over to Twilight.
"The Seven Warlords are made up of powerful pirates who serve under The world government in exchange for immunity from their crimes." Robin explained.

"We actually met a couple." Nami spoke leaning down from the upstairs railing. "One was a Pirate named Sir Crocodile, he ran an secret organization that tried to start a civil war in kingdom called Alabasta."

"Yeah I kicked his ass!" Luffy said proudly.

"Another one was Mihawk, the greatest swordsman in the world." Zoro spoke up from behind Twilight.

"Yeah he kicked YOUR ass." Sanji pointed out, leaning against the door to the kitchen.

"I had him on the ropes." Zoro said his eyebrow Twitching.

"Yeah right, he sliced you open!" Sanji said

"Well I like to see YOU fight him shitty cook!" Zoro yelled standing up.

"Well I would do a better job then you mosshead!"

"SHUT UP!!!" Nami yelled at the two.

The two then glared at each other before going quiet.

Twilight took in the information that was told to her. Her kingdom was not only taking over by a pirate, but a pirate that nopony can defeat.

Not even Celestia.

"Well what we waiting for?!" Luffy said cracking his knuckles. "Let's set sail for Equestria!"

"As great as that sounds, we don't have a way of getting there." Nami pointed out, holding up her log pose with the needle inside pointing down.

Twilight bit her lip as she racked her brain for anything that could help them, until she got an idea.
Everyone watched in awe as Twilight's horn began to glow a brilliant violet, and from her horn came a translucent hand that pointed west.
"This is a spell I use for when I get lost, it's basically a compass that always points to my house."

Luffy, Chopper, and usopp looked at the hand in amazement.

"Well that's great and all." Nami said jumping down from the upstairs balcony. "But we can't just drop everything and go to some island we never heard of, and fight a Warlord, with the chance of us all dying." Nami pointed out.
Meanwhile Luffy and Usopp were busy poking the magic hand, with its surface rippling like water every time they poked it.

"Well..." Twilight sighed looking at her legs with uncertainty. "...I could pay you.... since I'm technically a princess."

Nami quickly turned to Twilight and narrowed her eyes. "How much?"

Twilight thought for a moment before saying "As much as you need."

A large smile crept up on on the orange haired woman's face.
"Raise the sails we're going to Equestria!"

"Well that convinced her." Zoro mumbled to himself.

Twilight sighed as she looked at the stars, only light of note were the lights to the cabins behind her, and the hand that she summoned that glowed an other worldly light. A creak came from behind her followed by the sounds of footsteps that creaked against the wood.

"You need to rest." Chopper said getting worried for his patient.

"I'm fine..." Twilight grumbled.

Chopper gave a concerned sigh. "You need to rest, you won't be able to heal properly if you don't sleep."

Twilight grunted. "I said I was fine." The alicorn said starting to get annoyed.

Twilight heard more footsteps coming towards her, when turned to look she saw Luffy standing beside her, giving a curious look.
Slowly Luffy began to sit down and look at her.

"Hey horse girl!" Luffy began. "I was wondering something."

"What?" Twilight wasn't sure where conversion was going.

"If you were already a Princess, why did you have that ceremony?"

Twilight's horn flickered a little startled at the question.

"Um... uhhh.... well." Twilight struggled to find an answer. "I... I was about to become the sole ruler of Equestria." She said nervous.

Chopper gasped as he walked towards Twilight.

"Wow that's great!" Luffy said smiling.

Twilight bit her lip. "I guess."

Luffy raised a brow. "What's wrong?"

"It's just.... I don't think I'm ready." Twilight admitted. "I'm honored, but I'll give up my privacy with so many ponies looking up to me and the other nobles judging my every move, plus I will have to give up time with my friends and family with the kingdom needing me a lot more."

"Then just say no." Luffy said bluntly.

Chopper gritted his teeth at Luffy's statement, meanwhile Twilight looked at him as if he just insulted her family.

"What!?" She blurted out. "I can't say that to the Princess!"

"Why not?" Luffy said. "If the princess is really as good as you say she is, then wouldn't she understand if you say no?"

Twilight was shocked, she thought back to the ceremony and how much she knew Celestia. Most of all she was shocked that Luffy of all people gave her pause.
"I don't-"

"What's that?" Chopper cried pointing a hoof in front of him.
Both Twilight and Luffy looked to where the reindeer doctor was pointing. In front of them was at first a small cluster of lights, before it transformed into a cliff with hundreds of buildings on its side. There were also various rock islands with buildings on top and around the rocks.

Luffy and Twilight gasp in amazement, with the glow on her horn disappearing with hand she was using. Luffy ran to the front of the ship and put a hand over his eyes to help get a better view of the port town.

Luffy turned around began shouting. "HEY WAKE UP WE FOUND LAND WAKE UP!!!!!" All the while he was jumping up and down in excitement .

Slowly the rest of the crew got out of their rooms.

Robin was stretching and yawning.

"Ugh it's too early for this" Nami said glumly.

Franky was covered in grease from working on something in his workshop. "Oh that was fast." He said pulling up his wielding goggles.

"Luffy did you need to shout?" Ussop grumbled as he adjusted his night cap.

Sanji sighed as lit a cigarette. "And was having a wonderful dream too."

"Knowing you it was probably something perverted." Zoro said walking past the cook.

"Zip it." Sanji hissed.

However Twilight noticed something the others haven't. In the port of the town sat hundreds of ships... ships that various skulls on their sails, and black flags.

Oh no...
