A/N: Hey everyone, sorry for the wait. I had finals then the holidays and the worst case of writer's block I've ever had. To make up for the lack of updates this one is a bit longer than usual. Also I will just be referring to the clones by the names of the characters they are playing whenever they appear. Enjoy!
—Third person POV—
Stone crumbled and cracked as Eren's hands dug into the surface of the mountain. The icy surface of the Drum Rockies was no issue due to the fact that he was using his haki to fully anchor himself. But the 5,000 meter tall mountain was simply taking a while to scale. They had been climbing for twenty minutes now. Needless to say the crew was... bored.
"Can someone remind me why we didn't all just use the mayfly technique?" The voice of Alucard cut through the howling winds of the mountain. "We could have been up there in five minutes tops. But we've been climbing for twenty and were barely half way up the damn thing."
"We're using intimidation tactics," Savitar answered. "Whats more terrifying for Wapol and his followers? A handful of pirates suddenly appearing on the top of the mountain is unusual but not unheard of. A small group of pirates showing up riding a massive 15 meter titan? That will put the fear of god in them."
Yujiro scoffed at Savitar's use of "god" but nodded. "Fear is the best way to control a battlefield. Panicked and paranoid enemies make the most mistakes."
Alucard simply nodded and went quiet again. The remainder of the trip up the mountainside was silent.
—Meanwhile in Wapol's palace—
"King Wapol! King Wapol!" the frightened voice of Kuromarimo echoed through the icy walls of the throne room. "A giant monster has appeared! It is climbing up to us as we speak!"
Sitting on the throne, the corpulent form of Wapol who had just been enjoying his lunch (a buttered cannon). Suddenly froze. "A-a M-Monester!? Call the marines! Tell them to come and exterminate this threat!"
The pathetic man got up from his throne. "Dalton!" He called out to the head of the royal guard.
"Yes my king?" The user of the ushi ushi no mi model: bison asked. A sinking feeling forming in his gut.
"Take the army and defend the castle until the marines can get here!" the man shouted as he began to run up a flight of stairs. "Chess, Kuromarimo go get Mussshuru then join Dalton!"
"Understood your highness" the three collective voices shouted as the three advisors ran off to do their respective duties.
Far below the castle a singular sled stood frozen as its two occupants. A frankly ancient woman and a young reindeer stared wide eyed at the massive figure clambering up the side of the mountain.
"Well what do you know? Looks like a real monster showed up." The "Witch Master of Doctors" Kureha said. She was 133 years young, but even in all her years she had never seen a beast quite like Eren's titan form. 'That thing isn't a giant, far too small. Maybe a hybrid race? No that can be it, it looks like it doesn't even have reproductive organs so it's probably not a normal creature."
While the old doctor began to mumble theories to herself the young reindeer's eyes remained glued to the massive figure.
"D-Doctorine? W-what is that thing?"
The words of her apprentice snapped her out of her daze right as she was mumbling about its possible origins with "that kid vegapunk".
"Ah, chopper." she said as she placed a hand on the reindeer's back. "That is a real monster."
Chopper stared back up at the figure as it finally pulled itself over the edge of the top.
Kureha smirked, "Let's go get a proper look!"

Meanwhile, the Black Pearl Pirates had finally reached the summit.
"About damn time!" Yujiro said, shaking the ground as he dropped from Eren's shoulder.
"Let's get this over with so the boss can do his thing." Jotaro spoke as he followed Yujiro.
The other remembers hopped off the titan and they all began to walk to the front of the castle, coming face to face with the massive white gate.
Jack spoke from the front. "Yujiro, if you would?" he gestured to the door.
A demonic grin spread across Yujiro's face as he wound up his fist for a punch. "With pleasure!"
Back inside the castle Dalton, Chess, Kuromarimo and the newly arrived Musshuru, along with a number of troops stood behind the castle doors preparing to charge and face what they thought was a monster.
"Alright lets-" Dalton began to give orders but before he could get the words out a massive "BOOM" was heard as the castle gate burst off its hinges.
"Aha-hahahahaha!" The warriors of the drum kingdom's ears were assaulted by a bellowing laugh as figures appeared in the place the gate had just stood.
"That gate was even weaker than I thought it would be." Yujiro mocked through his laughter.
"Well what were you expecting" Alucard joined in, "This is just the first half of the grand line."
"Are we doing this or not?" Savitar cut in.
"Yes mate we are, cool your jets for a bleed'n moment." Jack responded with a bored look on his face.
"Then lets just get on with it" Jotaro said as he began to approach the Kingdom's forces they had managed to recover during the pirate's little chat.
"Who are you!? Why have you come to this kingdom!?" Dalton demanded as he assumed his Bison hybrid form.
"A zoan huh? Not very powerful but in Paradise it's not a bad devil fruit." Jotaro commented.
"We're the Black Pearl pirates. And we are here to kill your king." Jack said matter-of-factly.
Dalton and the forces of the drum kingdom's brains all seemed to stall at his bluntness.
"What? You asked, I answered. It's common courtesy." Jack said. " Alright, leave the zoan user alive, he seems alright. Kill the rest."
They didn't hesitate. Savitar and Yujiro immediately began to tear through the small army.
Dalton attempted to intercept them, however before he could even move from his spot Jack had already appeared in front of him. "Sorry mate, can't have you interfering,"
Jack slammed the pommel of his haki coated cutlass into the bison-man's head. Even with the durability boost granted by his devil fruit Dalton's eyes went white and he dropped to the ground without even being able to struggle.
Kuromarimo was swiftly executed by Jotato using his stand to pummel him to death, the man's afro attacks having zero effect on a being with no physical body.
Chess met a similar fate, alucard using Carter's sharingan to hypnotise the man and force him to stay still while the faux-vampire put a bullet in his head.
That left only one remaining opponent, Musshuru. Wapol's brother and the user of the Noko Noko no mi that allowed him to create and control porous mushroom spores.
Jack had engaged him after knocking Dalton unconscious.
"Shade Dance!" Musshuru called out his attack as a barrage of spores were fired from his hair.
Jack didn't even bother dodging or blocking. He simply took the billet-like spores head on.
Now if Jack were a normal human this would undoubtedly be a fatal issue as the spores would have burrowed into his flesh and poisoned him to death. But luckily, Jack wasn't human at all, and wood clones had no reason to worry about poison.
"Neat trick." Jack said, walking forward unbothered. "Here's mine." He said as he drew his cutlass.
"Sparrow sword style: Trench"
In an instant Jack was behind Musshuru. A minute later a chasm opened in the ground beneath The prince of the drum kingdom.
The man blinked exactly once before his body fell into two halves, split down the middle.
Outside the castle a small branch sprouted from the palm of Eren's Titan body, on it were two fruits. At that exact moment one began to warp and transform into a purple mushroom shaped fruit covered in swirls.
'One down, one to go.' Eren thought, plucking the Noko Noko no mi before sending it into the system's inventory.
Back within the castle, the pirates had convened and were now making their way up to the castle's armory, where Wapol had likely fled to activate the "Royal Drum Crown 7-Shot Bilking Cannon" to fight them with.
The next few seconds went as follows: pirates entered the room. Wapol fired on them with the cannon. They did not flinch, Yujiro Puntched Wapol through the castle and out of the building where Eren was patiently waiting. Aliucard stole the cannon and put it in the inventory because it was a decent weapon.
Then the pirates appeared outside to see Eren holding the trembling Wapol in his hand. The pirates also took notice of the gobsmacked Chopper and kureha that had arrived moments earlier and witnessed Wapol being violently expelled from the castle wall.
What happened next however, not even the clones could have predicted.
"Fishman Karate: Hundred Brick fist!"
A figure struck Eren's Titan with a powerful blow from behind, causing the Titan to release Wapol and be blown forward towards his crew.
The other pirates dodged Eren's body and turned to face their new enemy only to be completely bewildered by what they saw.
"Now just what the hell do you think you're doing!?" The figure shouted. "Answer me pirate scum!"
Standing before them was Carter Davil.
—flashback roughly 30 minutes ago—
Carter was staring intently at the item that now rested in the palm of his hand.
[Item: Ability thief token
Function: allows the user to isolate and remove a unique ability from a target then seamlessly integrate said ability into themselves.]
This item was an absolute boon. Carter was going through every character he remembered having a unique ability to try and decide who to plunder from when he was broken from his thoughts.
"Puru puru puru, Puru puru puru, kachak"
"Oi Carter!" Garp's voice thundered through the mollusc. "You anywhere near the Drum kingdom?"
I looked up from the snail and straight towards the island where I could faintly make out the island's coastline. "Umm, yes? I left little garden a while ago and I'm currently in a blizzard so I'd say I'm close."
"Great! Do me a favor and-Oof!" Garp was cut off.
"Cadet Davil, this is Fleet Admiral Sengoku. We've received an emergency alert from the king of the Drum Kingdom that some form of monster was attacking their castle. We think it might be some form of devil fruit user. Please rush to the kingdom as fast as possible." Sengoku's voice rang over the transponder snail.
"Sir yes sir!" I responded before hanging up the snail. 'Sounds like my guys are doing well. I'll give them some more time.'
—Present Time—
Carter stood glaring at his clones, who were quite surprised to see him here.
'This wasn't part of the plan but they'll adapt, they are me after all' Carter thought to himself.
"A marine! I'm saved!" Walpol shouted in relief, "Marine quickly get rid of these pirates!"
Carter didn't even glance at the fool and kept his eyes on Jack who had shaken off his surprise and resumed his role. However before either of them made any other moves thor eyes flickered to two new presences that had just appeared nearby.
'Chopper and Kureha. Perfect' the clones and original thought in unison.
"I'd say it's a bit rude to call someone scum before you've even gotten a chance to know them. You haven't even introduced yourself. Do the marines have no class anymore?" Jack said in an unserious tone.
Carter adjusted his stance. "It won't do you much good but I suppose giving you a bit of respect before you die isn't too big of an ask. My name is Carter Davil."
"Well it's a pleasure to meet you mister Davil. I am Captain Jack Sparrow of the black Pearl Pirates." he then gestured to his crew who had now recovered from their earlier surprise. "These are my crew. The muscle head is Yujiro Hanma, black jacket is Jotaro Kujo, the man in red is Alucard Dracula, silver armor is Savitar, and the big guy is Eren Yeager."
"Good to know your names, now kindly tell me what gives you the right to attack the king of this country?" Carter demanded with rehearsed disdain.
"Well we originally came to this island just to resupply but after seeing absolutely no one around at any time we used one of our abilities to find out more.
Turns out that the king of the country had all but twenty of the doctors on this island hunted down and exterminated. He charges fortunes for a single check up from the poor citizens of his kingdom.
Despite the fact that we are pirates we don't particularly like blatant injustice. So we decided to lend a hand to the people of this nation and get rid of their oppressors.
If you don't believe me you can ask them." Jack finished his explanation by pointing directly at the place where Chopper and Kureha had been quietly observing.
Putting on his best skeptical face he looked towards the two. "Is this true?"
For a moment neither of the locals responded. Kureha eyed both groups with unease. She was someone that had lived for one hundred and thirty years. She had seen what truly powerful pirates and marines were capable of, having watched the rise of every powerhouse from both the old era and current era.
And now her senses told her that these individuals were all very powerful. Not on the level of the legends she had witnessed but strong all the same.
"Hello? Young lady in the jacket? Reindeer? Gonna respond?"
Then again, the kid seemed quite nice in Kureha's eyes.
"Yes it's true, Wapol has all but destroyed this country for his own greed."
"Dont listen to her! I am the King of this Kingdom-Ghk!" Just as Wapol opened his mouth to protest, Savitar had already rushed and clamped his claws around the Fool's mouth. Silencing him.
Before anyone else could move a sound echoed from Carter's side.
"Puru puru puru, Puru puru puru"
Carter pulled the den-den mushi from his belt and answered it.
"Kachak, Cadet davil, have you arrived at the drum kingdom? Are the attackers still there?" Sengoku's voice cut through the growing tension.
Carter paused for a moment, looked towards Jack, then to Wapol then back to Kureha.
"Yes sir, I've arrived. It seems the pirates fled the island just minutes before I arrived. I will begin pursuit immediately." He paused. "Inform the world government that the entire royal family has been wiped out."
Wapol's eyes widened in terror.
