Summary- While the Straw Hats are out for the day, Luffy and Aika pay an unplanned visit to the Soul Eater world!
Ch. 1- Reunions Again! Stuck in Death City?
It was another beautiful day in the New World. The sea is calm, the weather is fair, and the seagulls happily soared through the sky before perching on the crow's nest of the Thousand Sunny, home of the Straw Hat Pirates. The ship had been moored near the southern shore of the island the crew had recently stopped at, and since they were running low on supplies, the whole crew had gone out for the day, save for two members.
"98…99…100! Ready or not, here I come!"
Monkey D. Luffy walked away from the swing tree on the deck, going in search of his younger half-sister, Monkey D. Aika. Since Aika had finished her chores and Luffy had nothing better to do, the D. Siblings decided to pass the time by playing a game of hide-and-seek until Nami and the others returned, and right now, it's Luffy's turn.
"Where are you~?" Luffy called as he went into the kitchen, looking under the table, only to find no one there. "I know you're around here, somewhere~!"
When he didn't find her anywhere else in the kitchen, he decided to check the other rooms, next: the men's quarters, the crow's nest, the Aquarium Bar, Zoro and Robin's room, Aika's room, the Usopp Factory, the Energy Room, but he didn't find her anywhere.
The only place he hadn't checked yet was his and Nami's room, and it just so happens that the young wolf-girl is hiding under their bed.
"Big Brother will never find me under here," she whispered. "I'm the hide-and-seek champion of the world!"
As she backed up a bit, she accidentally bumped into a skull-shaped gemstone on the floor, which rolled out from under the bed and flashed.
"Huh?" Aika muttered, blinking curiously, but then the gemstone turned into a large wormhole! "Aah! W-what the-?!"
Then, all of a sudden, the younger D. girl found herself being pulled towards it.
"O-oh, no!" she turned into her wolf form and tried to bury her claws into the floor, but she wasn't strong enough. "Help! Big Brother, help!"
At that moment, Luffy entered the room, only to gasp upon seeing Aika getting sucked into the wormhole.
"AIKA!" he cried as he grabbed her, trying to keep her from getting sucked in, but then, he found himself getting sucked in, too, and soon, the D. Siblings were both pulled into the wormhole like a vacuum, and once they disappeared within it, the wormhole soon vanished, too.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" the D. Siblings screamed as they fell through what seemed like an endless tunnel. However, as they kept falling, a light suddenly appeared beneath them, starting out small at first, until it grew as they drew nearer. When the light cleared, they found themselves towards a vast desert…and a familiar laughing sun in the sky.
"Huh?" Aika muttered. "The sun is laughing!"
"No way…" Luffy whispered. "That means…!"
"Big Brother!" Aika cried. "We're gonna crash!"
Luffy gasped before he held Aika close to his chest, then righted himself in midair, just as they were about to hit the sand below them. THOOM! They landed, creating a small crater, but luckily they had no injuries. As the dust cleared, Luffy gently set Aika down on the ground.
"Big Brother…where are we?" Aika asked.
Luffy looked around and spotted the gemstone that his sister had touched earlier next to his feet, then picked it up and put it in his pocket.
"Looks like we're in the outskirts of Death City," he said.
"Death City?" Aika repeated. "What's Death City?"
"Well…remember when I told you about the time these people came to our world, looking for some pirate crew?" Luffy asked. "And then we ended up going to their world some time later? That's where we are, right now."
"So you're saying that this is where those friends of yours are from?" Aika asked.
"Exactly," Luffy said before he gave a nostalgic sigh, letting the memories of when he fought alongside Maka Albarn and Soul Eater Evans against the Bluebeard Pirates and Annabelle Crane, and how they overcame the odds together.
"Big Brother?" Aika asked, tugging at his pants leg. "Shouldn't we be going?"
"Yeah," Luffy said as he began to walk off. "Come on. Death City's not too far away from here."
Aika nodded before she followed after her brother, holding his hand.

After a long walk through the desert, the D. Siblings had finally entered Death City and are walking through it's dark alleys. Aika had grown very tired during the walk, so she was more than happy to get herself a nice piggyback ride from Luffy.
"Jeez, we must've walked a long time," Luffy said as he looked up at the orange sky. "It's getting dark, already."
Aika sighed as she held onto Luffy's shoulders.
"I'm really tired," she complained. "I'm hungry, too."
"I know, Little Sis," Luffy said. "Me, too. We'll find Maka and the others and then we'll get us a bite to eat."
"Okay," Aika said, but as they kept walking…a shadow lurked in the alleys, eyeing the siblings quietly before it began to follow, slinking ever closer until it stood up high, towering over the two. Aika, feeling the shadow over her head, turned around, only to let out an ear-piercing, blood-curdling shriek, causing Luffy to turn around and see a tall man, glowering down on them with a broad, toothy grin and glowing red eyes. He had on a black trench coat and a gray fedora on his head, and long, dark brown hair.
"Give me…YOUR SOUL!" the man roared as he attempted attack Aika with long, clawed hands.
"BACK OFF, JACKASS!" Luffy shouted as he kicked the monstrous looking man into a wall! "You touch my sister and you're dead, got it?!"
The monstrous-looking man growled as he came out of the hole in the wall he made when Luffy kicked him, glaring viciously as he lunged at the future Pirate King, prompting him to grab him and easily threw him over his head. Aika ducked when the man ended up crashing into some trash cans behind her. However, when the wolf girl looked up, she gasped upon seeing more shadows approaching them.
"B-Big Brother!" she stammered.
"Get behind me, Aika!" Luffy shouted. "Right now!"
"O-okay!" Aika answered as she did as she was told.
"All right!" Luffy aid as he took a fighting stance. "Which one of you creeps is first?!"
Just one when said creeps were about to attack…
"WITCH HUNTER!"
SLASH! A powerful slash appeared out of nowhere, slicing the shadowy men in pieces!
"Whoa!" Aika cried. "Something just cut them all in half!"
"No way…!" Luffy whispered in surprise. "It's…"
The group of thugs soon exploded into nothingness, leaving behind a red orb of some kind…and standing in the middle of them all is none other than Maka Albarn, holding her partner/best friend, Soul Eater Evans.
"Well, that takes care of them," Soul spoke.
"Yeah," Maka said before she looked up and gasped upon seeing Luffy. "L…Luffy?!"
"Maka!" Luffy exclaimed as he ran to her excitedly.
"Oh, my gosh, Luffy!" Maka cheered as Soul morphed back into his human form. The sand-haired girl happily embraced the Straw Hat Captain, who also got a high-five from Soul.
"Good to see you, man," Soul said.
"You, too, Soul!" Luffy answered. "You look great!"
At that moment, Maka noticed Aika, peeking around the corner, shyly.
"Oh!" she gasped. "Who is this little girl behind you?"
"Huh?" Luffy muttered before he looked back at Aika. "Oh! That's Aika! She's my Little Sis!"
"You…have a sister?" Soul asked, confused.
"Well, half-sister," Luffy said. "Still, you know what I mean."
"She's adorable~!" Maka exclaimed as she walked up to her. "Hi, sweetie! I'm Maka Albarn! I'm a friend of your brother's!"
"H-hi," Aika greeted, blinking innocently.
"Luffy, how come you never told us about her?" Maka asked.
"Truth is, I didn't even about her until recently," said Luffy. "We found her on an island on Punk Hazard with a bunch of other kids, as well as her dog, Kumi. We rescued her and she's been with us since."
"She's so cute!" Maka said as Aika came out of her hiding place, smiling. "She even looks like you!"
"Well…if you were a girl," Soul pointed out.
"I get that a lot, actually," Luffy shrugged, but then his stomach started rumbling. Not long after, Aika's stomach did the same.
"You two sound hungry," Maka said. "Why don't we get you guys something to eat?"
"Good idea," Luffy said. "We had a real long walk on the way here."
"How'd you get here, anyway?" Soul asked.
"Remember that jewel that the Bony Guy gave me after we beat Annabelle?" Luffy asked.
"You mean Lord Death?" Maka asked, a bit annoyed at Luffy's nickname for the Grim Reaper.
"Yeah!" Luffy answered. "Well, Aika found it and I guess she touched it by accident."
"The next thing I knew, this giant wormhole opened up," Aika added. "Then, Big Brother and I were sucked in, and we fell through a vortex! Then we landed in the desert, and now we're here!"
"So, if you're here by accident," Maka started, "does that mean Nami and the others don't know you're here?"
Luffy's eyes went wide before he slapped his palm against his forehead.
"…I…did not think about that," he muttered.
"Big Brother, what if everyone comes back and finds out we're gone?" Aika asked, worriedly.
"Well, after we eat, let's go and see Lord Death," Maka suggested. "Maybe he can find a way to send you back."
"Hope so," Luffy answered. "Come on, Aika. Let's go."
"Okay," Aika said, holding Luffy's hand, and soon, the four headed into the city to get a bite to eat.

Later on, after eating at a local diner, the group are walking through the hallways of the Death Weapon Meister Academy.
"So how have you guys been?" Luffy asked.
"Eh, you know," Soul answered. "Killed some bad guys, ate their souls…same old, same old."
"And what about you?" Maka asked.
"Eh, you know," Luffy answered. "Same old, same old. Shishishi!"
"Yeah! Same old, same old!" Aika repeated, holding Luffy's hand.
Soon, the four arrived inside the Death Room. Aika was a bit nervous at the sight of the lines of guillotines, but a look from Luffy assured her that everything would be fine. Before long, they came to the end of the hall, standing before the mirror where Lord Death currently resides inside. Maka breathed on the glass, creating a small fog, before she wrote numbers.
"42-42-564 whenever you wanna knock on Death's door," she uttered as the glass began to ripple. "Lord Death, are you there?"
Soon, Lord Death appeared on the glass.
"Yeah, yeah!" he greeted. "Wazzup, Maka? What's going on?"
"We got a surprise for you," Soul said as he and Maka stepped aside. "Look who's here."
"Yo, Bony Guy!" Luffy greeted, waving his hand and grinned.
"Oh!" Lord Death exclaimed. "Well, if it isn't Luffy? This is a surprise!" He then noticed Aika hiding behind Luffy. "Hmm? Well, well, who's this?"
"This is my little sister, Aika," Luffy answered.
"…This is the Grim Reaper?" Aika asked. "I thought he'd be a lot scarier, but he looks kinda goofy…and he doesn't sound very menacing, either."
"Shishishishi!" Luffy laughed. "Yeah, that's what Zoro said when we met him, too."
"So, Luffy," Lord Death said. "What brings you down here to Death City, hmm?"
"Well…it's more or less an accident," Luffy said before he revealed the jewel that Lord Death gave him and explained what happened.
"I see," Lord Death realized. "So that's what happened, hmm?"
"Yeah…so, you think you can send us back home?" Luffy asked. "Nami and the others could be back any minute, and we don't want them to worry."
"Well, I'm afraid that'll be a bit of a problem," Lord Death said. "You see, the Portal Gem needs some time recharge."
"For how long?" Aika asked. "An hour? Maybe two?"
"A few days, actually," Lord Death answered.
"A few days?!" the D. Siblings questioned in shock.
"Well…can't we contact Nami using a mirror or something?!" Luffy asked.
"It doesn't work like that, Luffy," Maka said. "You can only contact Lord Death with a mirror."
"Looks like you guys are stuck here until you get home," Soul added.
"Haa…!" Luffy sighed in defeat and dread. "Nami's gonna kill me!"
Soul and Maka both sweat-dropped, having seen Nami's fiery temper.
"Well, since you're here," Maka said, "you might as well go and get some rest, and we can play catch-up tomorrow."
"Thanks," Luffy said. "We'll stay in the apartment that you guys set up for us. Come on, Aika. Let's go."
"Okay," Aika said as she followed Luffy, Maka, and Soul out.
"See you later!" Lord Death called.
"See ya!" Luffy called back.
As the group made it outside and into the city…a pair of glowing red eyes glared at the four, a long, saliva coated tongue hanging out of a pair of jaws. It sat in the shadows, leering at Aika from the distance…or rather…at her soul, which glowed a bright red and had a cute little smile on its face.
"…Such a pure soul…" the figure whispered. "I bet it tastes just as sweet as the girl." He then made a sinister chuckle. "It will be mine…!"
TO BE CONTINUED…
At first, I though of making this a big one-shot, but then I thought "Nah, that'd take WAY too much time". So here's the first chapter!
Also, I think I might work on some Dressrosa chapters soon, but I won't upload them yet.
Review, please!
