Adventure Guys

*A few days after the incident at Freddy's, the wounds of the Strawhats have healed, thanks to Morbius amateur medical science. But now they are sailing once again.*
Zoro: Zzzzz
Morbius: What's our next trajectory?
Nami: Well we're just heading south of the atlantic current system. Which is here.
Morbius: I see. It's very close to my home.
Nami: Where are you from?
Morbius: Well, I'm a New Yorker. Born and raised.
Nami: Oh, that's cool. Heard of New York. Never been there myself though.
Morbius: Oh you'll love it. New York is magical for anyone who walks its streets.
Nami: Really?
Morbius: Tall buildings, skyscrapers, sidewalks, cars, buses, taxis, the noise of the city, the people, the lights and the Pizza! Ray's Original Pizza, easily the best pizza in the whole city.
Nami: How good?
Morbius: The cheese is melted at just the perfect temperature making it fresh and delicious. Cheese is always the secret to a good pizza.
Nami: So are you a cheese expert now?
Morbius: I am a biochemist. I know my shit.
Nami: Ha! I'm sure you do.
Morbius: Pay a little visit to New York tomorrow? I can show everyone around?
Nami: I don't see why not.
Morbius: Hey Luffy! Wanna go to New York?
Luffy: I heard of that. It's got tall buildings!
Morbius: You down for that?
Luffy: Yeah! I wanna sling myself on the top of one!
Morbius: … I don't think that's a good-
Luffy: Set course for New York City!
Morbius: Sure, Okay
Sanji: So tell us more about New York city, are the women there any good?
Nami: Ugh.
Morbius: Well, depends on what your views are on highly promiscuous and outgoing women.
Sanji: I like em!
Morbius: Then there's the ones in Times Square. They get REALLY weird. One time I even saw a completely naked woman.
Sanji: NEW YORK SOUNDS AWESOME ALREADY!
Morbius: It was only one time! And I'm pretty sure she got arrested for indecent exposure.
Nami: Is Times Square really that weird?
Morbius: Yes. And that's not the only thing, there's people cosplaying and wearing weird outfits. I've thought I've seen it all, but sooner or later you learn there's nothing you haven't possibly seen yet.
Usopp: Hmm, I wonder if they'll have any people dressed up as my favorite superheroes from comic books! Like Captain America!
Morbius: I've read some of his comics. Did you know he was based on a real person?
Usopp: Yeah! Rumor has it, he was a super soldier with real superpowers!
Morbius: I know right! It makes the comics so fascinating!
Nami: Oh great; they're both comics book geeks.
*Nami is a little annoyed at their nerdy antics, yet somehow for Morbius it adds to his charm… Nami can't understand why.*

*The Going Merry sets the course for New York City. while Morbius goes to his lab.*
Morbius: Oh, uh, Nami I'll need your help.
Nami: What is it?
Morbius: It's a lab thing, I need extra hands for this one.
Nami: Oh, uh, okay.
*They both enter the small lab within the cabin.*
Usopp: You know, Morbius has been working on some weird experiments lately.

Zoro: Zzzzz
Sanji: Ugh, well, our fellow scientist has been working hard lately. Guess he's trying to make a breakthrough of some kind.
Usopp: And what exactly would that be?
Zoro: I think I know.
Usopp: Jesus! Don't wake up so suddenly like that!
Zoro: Ever since I met that guy he's been searching for something. At first he was looking for a cure for a disease he had. Made him skinny as shit.
Usopp: he's still skinny
Sanji: Yeah he could use some more meat. Problem is Luffy is always taking them.
Usopp: True that.
Zoro: But then, after he did some experiment he got super strength, super speed, stamina, you've seen it before
Usopp: Yeah. Whatever he did, I'd sure like for him to give me some.
Zoro: That's the thing… he never told me or Luffy exactly what he did to make himself unbelievably strong. And everytime we bring it up to him he just stays silent
Usopp: That does sound suspicious.
Zoro: After he "cured" himself he became a superhero guy but he also developed a taste for blood. Literally. He steals blood banks from every hospital he can find. And drinks it. Like a vampire. Whatever he did to himself, I think there was a side effect he's keeping a secret.
Sanji: So you think what he's working on has something to do with the side effect.
Zoro: Pretty much.
Usopp: Guess he's trying to keep it under wraps. But why not tell us? It can't be that bad.

Nami: What is this?
Morbius: There's something inside of me, that… I can't explain it without scaring you
Nami: Scaring me? …are you sick or something?
Morbius: … you could say that. I- it's a side effect of my condition.
Nami: Super powers?
Morbius: Yeah. That. I'm trying to get rid of this side effect and this liquid right here I hope will be used as a vaccine that will null the effects.
Nami: Okay, so what do you need my help with?
*Morbius takes off his shirt*
Morbius: It's simple
Nami: *blushes* Uh, I- Morbius I don't unde-
*He grabs a large needle.*
Morbius: I need you to insert this into the 5th column of my spinal cord.
Nami: What!?
Morbius: Please?
Nami: I- what!? You want me to stab you with this!?
Morbius: You're the only one I trust who can do this insertion properly. I know Usopp is the sniper with precision, but I'd rather have you do this because we're close.
Nami: I- … Well thank you but I don't know about this, I don't want to hurt you, are you sure this is safe!?
Morbius: Yes. I'm sure. At least it won't kill me.
Nami: I can't.
Morbius: Yes you can. I know you can do this otherwise I wouldn't have asked. You're all I got right now.
Nami: Morbius… okay, so where do you-
Morbius: Here. Right here.
Nami: Okay.
*Nami finds the place to insert the needle in his spine and injects him with the serum.*
Morbius: Agh!
Nami: Are you okay?
Morbius: Yeah! I'm fine, you're doing great. It's supposed to hurt like a bitch…
Nami: Okay.
*She takes it out.*
Morbius: Agh… I can't get up
Nami: Let me help
Morbius: Thank you.
Nami: Hmm.
Morbius: If this works, I'll have finally found a cure that works. It'll save people with my condition.
Nami: That's why you're all the way out here.
Morbius: Yup. Exactly.
Nami: Can I be honest?
Morbius: Yeah?
Nami: I feel like if this doesn't work, you're going to push yourself to the limit. And you'll get yourself hurt.
Morbius: I have to.
Nami: Do you really have to?
Morbius: You sure care a lot.
Nami: You're the guy who wanted me to come along on this adventure, caring is a 2 way street you know?
Morbius: Yeah. I understand.
Nami: I don't want to see you get hurt more then you have to.
Morbius: Sometimes I need to take a risk. I should've died, years ago. Why am I still alive if not to fix this? To save people who suffer like me. To save my best friends, my brothers.
Nami: You have brothers?
Morbius: Yeah. One is waiting back for me in New York. The other is probably in some Vegas casino gambling some shit heh.
Nami: Heh, that sounds like fun.
Morbius: He's the fun one. And if this works, we'll be able to live healthy and happy long lasting lives. But to do that I need to go above and beyond, to push the boundaries and take the risk. If I don't, I'll never be able to find the medicine. I owe it to the people all over the world who have my disease.
Nami: You're noble.
Morbius: shush.
Nami: No really, you're a good guy Morbius. More than you give yourself credit. I just hope you don't die. You'll get your happy ending and continue your journey.
Morbius: Don't worry, I won't die. I promise I won't leave you alone with the crazies.
Nami: Oh, Yeah, please don't leave me to deal with Luffy on my own.
Morbius: That's a regret I'll carry to the afterlife if I ever do die. If there's an afterlife
Nami: That's one big IF.
Morbius: I'm not religious. Never met God.
Nami: Me neither.
Morbius: If God really existed, why would he let us all be in pain? The Bible gives excuses but they were never logical reasons for me. Sometimes humanity has to take its own steps for a better world. A new world.

*Later that night*
Usopp: Hey, I'm coming in! You've been there for a while.
*Usopp goes inside the lab. He sees Nami sleeping on the desk.*
Nami: Zzzzz
Usopp: Hey, how long have you been out?
Nami: Huh? Ugh, hey Usopp. Hm I- what time is it?
Usopp: It's 9:00. You've been here for like 3 hours now.
Nami: Oh, crap. I needed to check on him like, 30 minutes ago.
Usopp: What's going on?
Nami: Morbius is just testing some serum thing. He wanted my help, and- … where is he?
*They see Morbius isn't on the chair anymore*
Nami: Mitchel?
Usopp: Uh… Nami… look up.
Nami: Huh?
*They see Morbius on the ceiling.*
Morbius: … gggrrr
Usopp: Is- Is he growling at me!?
Nami: What's going on Mitchel!? What are you doing up there!? How did you-
*He jumps down to reveal he's changed into some kind of… vampiric monster.*

Nami: M- Mitchel!?
Usopp: What did he do to himself!?
Nami: Mitchel, you're scaring us!
Morbius: Grah?
Usopp: Oh god! He's pale! He's got fangs! Red eyes-
Nami: I can see that captain obvious!
Morbius: Gggrrrr
Usopp: Agh! He's a monster!
Nami: Don't piss him off!
Morbius: Grrr… mm?
*He walks closer.*
Usopp: Stay away!
Nami: No wait…
*She walks closer.*
Morbius: Huh!
Usopp: Nami don't!
Nami: Mitchel? Are you in there?
Morbius: Hmm… argh?
Nami: My God, what did you do? What did you make me put in you?
Morbius: Ggggrrr
Usopp: Nami! He's gonna kill you!
Nami: Usopp shut up! I don't think-
*The alarm goes off.*
Usopp: He put an alarm in here??
Morbius: RRRAAAGGHH!!!! GGGRRRR
*Morbius flies fast to take out the siren*
Usopp: Aaahh!!!
*Usopp gets his slingshot and shoots at Morbius.*
Nami: No, don't!
*He hits Morbius. But all it does is annoy him.*
Morbius: … Gggggrrrr
Usopp: Agh! I'm sorry!
*Morbius tackles Usopp and they crash through the door outside, where the rest of the crew was playing cards.*
Morbius: GGRRRAAAAHHH!!!!
Usopp: Aaaahh!!! Help! A monster!
Zoro: What's going on!?
Sanji: Oh shit!
Luffy: It's a vampire!
Usopp: Get him off me!
*The crew attempt to fight Morbius.*
Zoro: Undead holy son of-
*Morbius attacks Zoro quickly, scratching his hands, causing pain and he drops his swords*
Sanji: Nice going Mosshead!
*Sanji tries to Kick Morbius, but it doesn't do a thing and Morbius ends up grabbing Sanji, flies up and then slams him down.*
Morbius: RRRAWWWRR!!!
*Theb he gets punched by Luffy.*
Luffy: Hey! Stop hurting my friends!... and why are you wearing Morbius' clothes!?
Morbius: RRAAHH!!
*Morbius oves fast but Luffy dodges his tackle; but Morbius then boomerangs back to him. Luffy quickly punches him off, Morbius shrugs it off and then gets out his clawsZi
Morbius: Gggraah!!
Luffy: You asked for this! Gum Gum pistol!
*Luffy punches him in the face. But then he gets back up immediately. As he claws at Luffy. But Luffy assumes a defensive stance and then kicks Morbius off and punches him multiple times.*
Morbius: Agh agh agh!
*Just as he's done… Morbius gets back up. Slightly dizzy*
Luffy: You just won't get down won't you?
Morbius: Ggggrrrr…
Nami: Guys stop fighting! It's Mitchel Morbius!
Luffy: Huh?
*Morbius then attacks Luffy, catching off guard, and proceeds to puncture his neck and suck his blood.*
Luffy: Aaaghh!! Get off me!
Nami: Mitchel Stop!
Morbius: Graahh!?
Luffy: Ugh…
*Luffy feels dizzy from blood loss.*
Luffy: Get back here… vampire…
*Luffy collapses.*
Morbius: Gggrrr!?
Nami: No! Luffy!
*Nami goes to Luffy, and Morbius begins to regain his consciousness.*
Morbius: Gggrrr.. L.. Luffy?
Nami: No! Luffy, stay with me!
*Morbius sees the others who were hurt.*
Morbius: G… Guys? … oh no
*Morbius reverts back to human form.*
Morbius: No… it didn't work…
Nami: Luffy!
Luffy: Ugh…
Nami: You're going to be okay! Alright?
*She looks back at Morbius and sees he's back to normal.*
Nami: Mitchel!?
Morbius: … I'm sorry.
*He proceeds to jump overboard.*
Nami: Mitchel, wait!
*But it's too late. As there is no sign of him.*

*At a S.H.I.E.L.D. facility in upstate New York.*
Agent Rodriguez: You've been focusing on all these clues and evidence for like an hour. Are you on to something or not?
Agent Stroud: Yes.
Agent Rodriguez: Yes what?
Agent Stroud: I think I uncovered something big here. Okay, to recap, Dr. Mitchel Morbius has gone missing for 2 months, He was last seen in a boat that was taken hostage by pirates off the coast of New York City.
Agent Rodriguez: I know
Agent Stroud: But during those 2 months there have been sightings of him across the seas around here, in the east blue of the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Brazil in the north, 150,678 miles off Loguetown. In this general area.
Agent Stroud: Reports of him are of witness testimony in Orange Town, Syrup village, Baratie, and Cocoyashi village here. But also throughout California. In this order of timeline events
*He shows the timeline to Rodriguez but he notices something.*
Agent Rodriguez: How did he go from the East Blue islands, to through the US and into Puerto Rico and back?
Agent Stroud: Isn't it obvious? He must've taken the large river system that goes to the Ocean.
Agent Rodriguez: Ooooh, yeah sorry I kinda forgot that was there. I've had too much coffee.
Agent Stroud: So the doctor has been getting around. But there were no cameras or other photo evidence to confirm the places he's been. So the reports were unverified. until Captain Smoker of the marines reported him found on Loguetown. The report stated one of his subordinates recognized him, and then we got a photo of the event
*He reveals a picture was taken of the moment Morbius, Zoro, and Sanji were trying to rescue Luffy.*
Agent Rodriguez: Oh yeah, now the connections start to make sense
Agent Stroud: Not just that he was found, but reportedly looked less sick then he's famously seen. But interestingly… he's got super strength. Being able take on groups of soldiers and pirates, and even fishmen.
Agent Rodriguez: Yeah, there seems to be a lot of those super powered up guys nowadays.
Agent Stroud: Now, Agent slaughter was murdered by a Vampire. 2 months ago. Around the same time Morbius went missing. It was on Hawaii, then the timeliness of all the sightings occurred, and every one of them he demonstrated super strength. Our buddies at Sector 7, claim to have seen him also displayed anomalous strength and speed. Sector 7 soldiers and Captain Smoker, 2 trusted military personal, both reporting him to having super strength and the timeline of sightings and events… all adds up.
Agent Rodriguez: Are you saying he's… the vampire who killed Agent Slaughter?
Agent Stroud: That's what the evidence says here with all the reports. There's only one reason this all adds up. Dr Mitchel Morbius is a brilliant scientist whose searched all his life to find a cure for his disease. I think he's found it. And more.
Agent Rodriguez: You think he turned himself into a vampire?
Agent Stroud: Somehow. You see, the lab we investigated near where Agent Slaughter was murdered, the owners had a record of Morbius using it that was classified until a week ago. In that lab we found broken glass, a lot of broken equipment, illegally captured vampire bats, and it was just a mess. Now we're getting reports from all over the east blue of Dr. Mitchel Morbius and his feats of strength, AND at the same time the vampire sightings. Described as the same one that murdered Agent Slaughter. The same one that was near the lab Dr. Mitchel Morbius used on that day.
Agent Rodriguez: … shit.
Agent Stroud: Yeah. I believe Dr. Mitchel Morbius found a cure. But with the side effect of turing him into vampire.
Agent Rodriguez: Well then he technically would be a hybrid of sorts right? I mean he was born a normal human being and then used science to turn himself into a Vampire.
Agent Stroud: As a paranormal investigator and vampire hunter, this is the first time I've encountered this way of a vampire turn.
Agent Rodriguez: First time?
Agent Stroud: Every other vampire I hunt was born a vampire. Sometimes a vampire was turned into one by another vampire. Sometimes vampires would reproduce with humans to create hybrids. Hybrids that usually don't live that long due to a genetic blood disease. Similar to the one Dr. Mitchel Morbius had. But for the first time ever, A vampire is born out of science. A scientific way a Vampire was born.
Agent Rodriguez: so he wouldn't be undead. He's still living.
Agent Stroud: A living vampire… we need to figure out where Morbius is heading next.
