A.N: When I kept voicing ideas between my Twilight/Witcher AU and this one to my sister, she kept telling me that Bella was a better plot device than Ciri.

I told her they were pretty much the same. Both are born with unique powers and sought after by Evil! groups. Both girls end up in relationships with dangerous individuals who take up large personal roles in their life.

Please give me your opinions.

"- to which Will replied that he didn't want any 'treasure', just Elizabeth. Jack spun around looked him in the eye and said 'Not all treasure is silver and gold, mate.'"

I came back to reality when a bird called out above us.

"If there's a bird, there's land; that the island we going to?" I asked my crewmates.

Luffy and Zorro seemed to snap out of trances too, each shifting in their seats. They'd been listening to me going on about Pirates of the Caribian for close to an hour. I'd had a lot of practice telling stories the old fashioned way and it was good to see that skill be put to use.

Luffy hoped up and started winding up. "Alright! We get free food!" It still slightly horrified me the way his arm would stretch and Stretch...

Until we could barley see his hand compared to the bird. I could barely make it out but was at least the size of a minivan and with a sickening chomp it had Luffy by the arm.

AN arm which was now shrinking back to normal size. "Yahooo!"

I got off the seat and just missed his feet as he flew off "LUFFY!"

"What is he doing!" Zorro looked at me slightly panicked. "Even if it is huge he can just knock it out, right?"

I grabbed an oar and thrusted its pair to the gaping swordsman. "If he knocks it out he'll fall into the water and drown."

Without a word we started rowing after our fucking idiot of a friend.

We were just losing sight of him over a distant island when we came across another problem; three drowning men calling us from the water.

"Hey, HEY!"

"Help us!"

"We're drowning!"

I lost maybe two strokes to Zoro looking at him. His face was as torn up as me but he didn't stop rowing.

"Grab on, we aren't gonna stop!" He shouted to the castaways.

I don't know if they heard him or not but the shipwrecked sailors grabbed on anyway. They scampered up the side as they came aboard.

"In the name of Captin Buggy-"

"Aard." I flew through the signs and the leader flew off the side.

As curious as he probably was Zoro kept going through the motion of rowing. I walked up to the two stragglers and signed a new magic.

"Axii."

...

"HOLD ON!" I shouted to Zoro, bracing for the impact.

When I put the two would-be hijackers on the oars I underestimated the effects Axii and telling them to 'row as fast as you can'.

They went so cartoonish fast that Zorro and I had to stand at the bow of the ship to keep from flopping over.

The boat hit a reef with a jump and started taking water but the men kept going.

Zoro looked like he was gonna vomit from all the shaking and I slid to my knees as well."What the hell did you do?"

"A mind-trick." I shouted feeling defensive. "It's just a basic hypnosis that works on beings with a weak mind; it shouldn't be this effective!"

'I think you underestimated the mental strength of those men." Geralt chimed in.

"We are getting pretty close to shore!" Zorro yelled looking at the ocean.

I noticed it too, the men at the benches just kept on going.

"We need to abandon ship." I told Zorro. I stood up and hauled him up.

We jumped out just as they hit the shore.

A mouth full of sand later we started walking through the town, yelling for Luffy like a lost dog.

"Luffy!" Zorro shouted.

"Luffy,where are you?!" I called.

"Bran, this isn't doing anything!" The swordsman complained with gritted teeth. "I thought you could see the future or track him down."

"I'm not a wizard." I told him. I felt defensive. "He was flying through the air for fifteen minutes fighting the bird, he can't be far."

We continued our search. Our voices echoing down the road through the empty town.

"Oi Luffy, we got some meat!" I yelled, taking a turkey leg out of inventory waving it like a wand.

A moment passed by as the two of us waited for the rubber man to appear. Nothing.

Until a explosion blasted off in the distance.

I looked at my fellow swordsman with a raised eyebrow. "Think that's him?"

We found our stupid captain on the deck of a pirate ship inside of a cage surrounded by pirates,clowns and a single red headed girl. They were all looking at a cannon that was aimed at Luffy, the girl putting it out with her bare hands.

"It is either a nightmare or a extremely fetished porn fantasy." I told Zorro, drawing my steel sword and reaching out my off-hand as a Northern Wind bomb appeared. "Regardless we are gonna have to kick some ass."

Zorro's only answer was a blood thirsty grin around the handle of a white sword.

With the flick of a finger and my wrist the grenade bounced it's way on the deck, the two of us following just behind.

"HEY RED NOSE!"

The man with the captin hat turned around. "WHAT?! WHICH OF YOU SAID-!"

The Northern Wind bomb detonated and ice froze him and half of his men.

"Zorro! Bran what's going on?!" Luffy greater.

Two men armed with cutlass charged me. I parried a blow and followed with a lunge before throwing out a sign. The pair both fell to the ground."Aard, what does it look like!"

To the side as Zorro finished his own victims with a groan. "Bran, get the cage!"

I moved forward, sheathing my sword and my arms through the bars of the cage.

"Holy fuck this thing is heavy!"

Short chapter because of finals and as for the delay...

Sorry? To be far I also forgot it was Mother's Day last Sunday so I'm obviously a bad person.
