Welcome to Gaia! ::

Knuckles: It has been a long time Mr. Straw Hat Luffy I see you have gotten stronger
Luffy: You have gotten stronger too, so what are you doing here? I thought you're suppose to be guarding that emerald thing or something, have you finally decided to join my crew?
Knuckles: Sorry but I still am the guarding, as for guarding it don't worry I'll tell you everything, but for now let's get back to the present.
Luffy: Present?
Knuckles: Yes you are in the past right now, these polls say Past or Future, the more you run after spinning it, you will travel to that time period.
Luffy: Wait so I'm in the past? I can see the Pirate King?
Knuckles: Hmm it be best if I explain this to the rest of your crew, something reminded me that you won't understand this. Here's a poll with Future on it grab hold we're going back to the present
Luffy: There's not much running space how are we going back?
Knuckles: Like you I too have gotten stronger since 2 years ago Chaos Control
The take off a light speed going through time again. Back at the present.
Nami: Okay you three go back into the past and get Luffy back here okay
Zoro: Fine
Sanji: AS YOU WISH NAMI-SWAN <3
Usopp: How come I have to go?
A flash appears near the poll as Knuckles and Luffy appear
Knuckles: And here we are back in the present
Chopper: Knuckles!
Nami: It's really him
Knuckles: My you all have changed so much for 2 years
Robin: It's great to see you've been doing well
Knuckles: Ah Miss Robin it's great to see you as well
Brook: Ah a friend I have not yet met, how do you do sir my name is Brook
Knuckles: Knuckles it's nice to meet you Brook
They shake hands but Knuckles almost crushes Brooks hand
Brook: YO HO any more an my bones would of shown, ah but I am already bones Yo hohoho SKULL JOKE
Knuckles: uh?
Usopp: He is actually a skeleton, freaked us out when we first met him too, nice hat by the way
Knuckels: thank you I made it after getting inspired by a friend *He looks at Luffy*
Franky: Hey if your on this island what about your island
Knuckles tells of them his training
Nami: Chaos? Wasn't it that thing we fought?
Knuckles: Ah yes but a distorted version a negative side, where as the Chao can us the positive side, by traveling at light speed or using it to create a burst of energy and even a projectile
Luffy: Kinda like Haki
Knuckles: Well sort of like Haki but it can be increased with the Chaos Emeralds
Robin: and since you have used the emeralds you can do it.
Knuckles: Well yes that and the help of my ancestor artifacts to help boost it
Chopper: Wow you have been training just like we all were
Knuckles: Yes that was an incredible story, my condolences to your brother Mr. Straw Hat Luffy
Luffy: Thanks
Knuckles: Now then we must get going if we're to get off this island
Brook: Ah but Mr. Knuckles the Sunny is right over their
Knuckles: Yes but once you stepped on this island you became trapped in it's time dimension, you see being able to travel through time cannot be acquired everywhere it can only happen on this specific island.
Sanji: Wait so we're trapped here
Usopp: AH we're gonna be stuck in here!
Chopper: AH!
Knuckles: Calm down there is a way to get off the island and back to the sea
Nami: How?
Knuckles: If you did not see there is a power source near the center of the island just beyond those mountains, in that area are Time Stones, with those we can be able to get off the island, but it isn't easy for I have seen the test one must take in order to get off the island
Zoro: And what's that?
Knuckles: There is a metallic beast that guards this island fixing things that go wrong in order for us to leave we must fight it so we can use the Time Stones
Luffy: Okay we'll go to the center and be this beast
Knuckles: Well I thought we could just fight it like you fought me. Let it have the joy of battle and the determination to get stronger
Luffy: Okay that works to then let's go
Knuckles: right but we'll need to go into the Future when we get their, that's where we'll find the beast but I must warn you now, it knows you're here.

As they traveled along they find themselves along a pathway.
Nami: This pathway looks like some sort of speedway
Chopper: Did people race here?
Knuckles: Not sure but there's our ticket into the future, everybody grab on
The all garb hand by hand
Knuckles: This may get fast Chaos Control
They head for the future at top speed, once in the future the place has a red look in the sky making certain things turn pinkish
Knuckles: Get ready
He throws Luffy who is holding everyone else as they all get thrown to a platform in the center and Knuckles continues to run forward
Luffy: Hey Knuckles!
Knuckles: Trust me and be ready
Usopp: Luffy look
They look down to see the metallic beast flying towards Knuckles
Knuckles: Come on beast let's race to see how fast you are at stopping us
He takes off a little faster as the beast charges and takes off after Knuckles with electricity around him. He gets close to Knuckles but he jumps up curling up into a ball and smashing the beast down onto the platform re forming and taking off. The beast quickly recovers and takes off above Knuckles charging up and then releasing and electric rain onto Knuckles who quickly backs up then jumps up.
Knuckles: Chaos Blast
A red burst of energy hits the beast sending him forward. Knuckles continues to move forward as the beast regains his flight and shoots an electric orb at Knuckles. He jumps out of the way but the beast gets up close and they start to fight in midair moving around the place. Punches and kicks left and right. They separate as the beast charges up another electric orb, Knuckles charges up too.
Knuckles: Chaos Sphere
The two orbs hit making a big explosion. Knuckles shields him when the beast appears and kicks Knuckles down to the ground and Knuckles disappears in the smoke.
Luffy: Knuckles!
Franky: That was a cheap shot
Nami: Robin could you find him?
Robin: No that smoke looks thick
Chopper: AAAH
They look to see the beast heading for them
Luffy: Now it's my turn color arms hardening Gum Gum Jet Pistol
The beast quickly dodges charging forward at Luffy. It then makes a giant electric shield and knocks into Luffy.
Luffy: Nice try I'm rubber Gum Gum Pistol
Still hardened he hits the beast knocking off of Luffy. Making his other arm and legs harden he begins striking the beast. The beast quickly starts to dodge attacks and blocking them. Grabbing both his arms it starts spinning in ball form throwing Luffy down and striking him in the face.
Luffy: Balloon!
Getting the beast off of him he twirls his arm hardening it
Luffy: Rifle
Making the beast go flying nailing it to a wall. It makes a pink aura and flies back to Luffy landing punches on him
Luffy: Jet Gatling
They match each punch till the beast flies upward getting ready to charge a giant electric orb.
Luffy: Oh no you don't
Luffy wraps his arms around the beast. But the beast looks down, cancels its attack and starts to fly downward
Luffy: Hey where are you going
Luffy wraps his legs around everyone and they all get dragged down with them.
Gang: AAAAAH
The beast flies them towards the center. Meanwhile in the center
Knuckles: These Time Stones are amazing Chaos increase Knuckles Buster
He quickly turns around and knocks the beast in the head making him stop, everyone crashes behind him
Knuckles: Beast or rather I shall call you Metal, you are quite powerful, and I thank you for letting me look at these amazing Time Stones. However my friends and I need to leave this island. So friend *He picks up Luffy* will you do battle with both of us at your full power?
Metal nods as it walks to the Time Stones, as he touches them he then glows and flies upwards getting bigger until it becomes a giant red metal beast form.
Knuckles: Hold the ring, we'll us tag team
Luffy: Okay
Knuckles: I'm glad I have these
He takes out the seven chaos emeralds as the hover around him transforming him into the glowing form, Luffy turns Gear 2nd again
Luffy: Didn't know you had those
Knuckles: I had a feeling I would, now then let's go
They fly up toward Metal who launches its fist at them but they dodge and head for its center
Luffy: I got this Gear 3rd Gum Gum Elephant Gun
Lands clean at Metals chest knocking him down. He floats back up shooting a laser with both his eyes. Knuckles and Luffy are flying around fast to dodge the laser.
Knuckles: Chaos Super Sphere
A more powerful orb hits Metal in the eyes stopping the lasers
Gang: Way to go guys!
Luffy: Nice shot Knuckles
He gives Luffy a thumbs up then looking at his head to see his hat burning
Knuckles: Huh MY HATS ON FIRE HELP!!!!
They start flying around crazy as Knuckles tries to put it out. Metal gets up clenches his fist and throws a punch into a portal. Knuckles still fly around aimlessly sees the fist coming out of another portal and stops it.
Luffy: Whoa how did he do that
Knuckles: It must be the Time Stones. Super Knuckle Buster
Knocking back the fist, they turn around and face Metal
Knuckles: Mr. Straw Hat Luffy hold the ring tight and power up a move don't loosen your grip until I say
Luffy: Got it color arms hardening
Knuckles flies fast towards Metal but his struggling due to being pulled back by the ring, Metal charges a beam to fire, Knuckles gets as close as he can.
Knuckles: Ready?
Luffy: Ready!
Knuckles: Alright loosen the grip
Luffy goes flying towards Metal at high speed
Luffy: Gum Gum Red Hawk
Making a explosion, Metal starts going down, Knuckles then comes flying closer
Knuckles: Super Knuckle Drill
He spins with his hands sticking out drilling on Metal and knocking him down farther
Nami: That had to of ended it
Robin: Perhaps Metal is playing dead and will tear Luffy and Knuckles to pieces
Brook: YO HO scary thought seeing all my skin ripped, although I am just bones
Metal make a big flash as the area is restored and they are back in the present standing in front of the Time Stones.
Robin: Amazing
Knuckles: Thats the power of the Time Stones
Zoro: So are we good to go
Knuckles: Yes we are, as long as Metal is here we will be able to go back to sea
Luffy: Guess your not gonna join my crew still
Knuckles: I'm afraid so Mr. Straw Hat Luffy, but before we go.
He readies himself in a battle position, Luffy does the same
Luffy: Thought you'd never ask
Nami: Great at this rate we're never gonna get off of the island
Usopp: Good thing we have all the time in the world now
Knuckles: Ready?
Luffy: Let's
They charge at each other for an amazing battle
The End
