Before we start, let's get some important things down.
1) This is a continuation, not a restart. If you want the original, go to the one Anime-master1000 has for episodes 1-3.
2) I'm not doing movies or specials. Only episodes relevant to plot. This means the money sheep and ape concert will be shown, while shogun kites and food crossovers will not … this is one piece, you should expect that sentence.
3) If by some miracle I get to the current end of the anime, the next chapter will be delayed.
4) I have little idea on how to do them gaining enough strength to prevent the fall of beacon by the time they reach the tournament, so i'll stop it with deus ex-machina plot.
5) Non bold is rwby, bold is one piece.
6) Have fun. I know i'm new and not all that good, so all criticism is appreciated to evolve.
7) I do not own RWBY or One Piece, they are owned by their respective prophets, Monty Oum and Echiru Oda.
Rwby and Jnpr sat down in front of the tv. "I can't wait!" Nora exclaimed.
"Alright guys, time for episode 4." Ruby said as she clicked the next one.
Opening
"That was awesome!" Jaune exclaimed.
"It seems to be very interesting." Pyrrha commented.
"Odd premise, but not a bad one." Ren said.
"Finally, pirates I can root for!" Nora yelled with a pirate hat and eye patch.
Team Rwby started. "How-" Weis was about to ask before being interrupted.
"Trust me, it's better to ignore it." Ren stated simply.
The scene shows a pirate flag with a red nose.
The team stared at the flag. "What's with the red nose?" Ruby asked.
"Who knows, could resemble the pirates in some way." Blake stated.
Pirate 1: *Shishishi* Look at all this.
Pirate 2: Buggy-sama won't be angry at us now.
"That's a lot of treasure." Weiss said with a gleam in her eye.
"I know, can you imagine the weapons and dust we can get with that!?" Ruby questioned with drool.
"Ok, Ruby's weapon addiction aside (Hey), we know they're working for this Buggy person." Yang stated.
"Either he's a higher up, or a captain." Ren said with interest.
Pirate 3: Hey, look at that.
The pirates turn to see a small boat. A zoom in shows that it is inhabited by the orange haired girl, who looks asleep.
"Hey, it's that thief girl!" Yang spoke up.
"Odd, she seems well prepared to fail at sea." Blake pointed out.
"Thief girl?" Questioned Jaune.
"Yeah, it was this girl who stole stuff. We don't know her name yet." Ruby explained.
The three pirates rolled up to her with looks in their eyes.
Pirate 2: Oh, it's a woman.
Pirate 1: Hey, what's the matter?
Some of the girls gave the men glares. "Creeps." Said Blake plainly.
"I don't know, seems like the kind of thing we'd see in that ninja book." Yang said with a grin.
"It's literature!"
The girl raises her head.
Girl: Am I dreaming? Running into someone into this vast ocean-what a stroke of luck. I don't know who you guys are, but would … you give me some water.
The men start to grin.
"Are you sure this isn't something from your book? It would be a 'dream' come true." Yang punned with a smile.
She had some popcorn thrown at her. "There is something odd though. She said she was lucky, but that seems too lucky." Ren brought up.
"I don't get it, why is it so weird?" Asked Ruby.
"The ocean is a lot bigger than a landmass." Pyrrha explained as she opened up a scroll and showed her images. "It would be way too big to find something that small, although we don't know how this world's map is structured."
Nora narrowed her eyes at the other orange haired girl.
Girl: I'll give you as much money as you like. Please help me.
The girl gestured to a treasure chest on the boat.
"That's a lot of money!" Jaune screamed.
"Well, she is in need of food and water. I guess it makes sense." Weiss brought up. 'Even though I would just knock them out and take their stuff.' She thought privately.
Pirate 1: Sure, we'll help you … but we'll have to take a look at your treasure first.
They start to walk onto the boat
Pirate 2: Excuse us.
Pirate 3: Hahahaha
A jingling sound is heard as pirate 1 sits in front of it.
Pirate 1: Hu, it's stuck.
That made the group blink. "Why? You think orange hair would have been smart enough to smash it and see if there's water." Yang said simply.
"I agree. Anyone with orange hair would have gone down said road." Ren agreed with Nora nodding, eyes still on screen.
Pirate 1: There!
A panda head on a spring jumped out of the chest like a jack in the box. The pirates scream.
The teams jumped. "What the heck!" Pyrrha screamed.
"A jack in the box! I remember those." Ruby exclaimed.
"But why would a treasure chest ha-" Blake stopped her sentence as she came to a realisation. 'It's a trick.'
Female laughing could be heard.
Girl: If you like it, it's yours. Take the boat too.
She said as the boat floated away.
Pirates: Our boat! You tricked us!
"It was a trap!" Weiss exclaimed. "She left them with nothing and took all they had. Quite cleverly I might add."
Yang and Nora we're laughing on the ground. "Hey guys, what's gonna happen to the pirates, now that they have nothing?" Ruby asked concerned.
"I'm sure she left some oars. If they trace their steps, they'll know where they came from and sail back to their island." Blake explained.
"I'm sure she's not as cruel as to leave them to die." Pyrrha said.
Girl: Dark, low clouds indicate an approaching cold front have been sighted to the south. Heavy rain will soon begin to fall, accompanied by a gusty squall.
The pirates looked at her blankly before gaining shocked faces and looking up.
Girl: Small boats in the area should beware of capsizing.
The men looked up as a thunderstorm began to form, and rain began to fall. The pirates scrambled before the ship sank. The girl looked at them as she gave a thumbs up.
Girl: Bingo! See ya! Thanks for the treasure!
She yelled with a cheerful smile and wave. Then started to laugh.
"You sure she's not sadistic?" Jaune asked blankly to Pyrrha, who dropped her head.
"She kinda sounded like a weather forecaster, boring yet fascinating." Yang said sagely. "I bet meeting her would be kind of a 'downpour'. She joked, getting a tomato from Nora.
Pirates: Wait! You bitch! We won't forget this! *Gargle*
"Should we be worried for them?" Asks Ruby.
Weiss patted her on the back. "Let's just not think about it."
Words appear on the screen. "Luffy's Past! Introducing Red Hair Shanks!"
Ruby and Nora jumped up and down, chanting 'backstory'.
"So, we learn how the idiot became a captain." Weiss stated simply.
"I wonder if tragedy is involved." Blake said as she grabbed some popcorn.
"Nah, someone that happy going probably has nothing scarring on him." Yang said nonchalantly.
"You never know." Ren said, memories of his village coming back to him, earning a small but comforting hug from Nora.
Luffy: I'm hungry.
Zoro: How long is it gonna take us to reach land.
Luffy: Who knows, that's up to the wind and sea. We may never get there. Well, i'm sure we will, eventually.
Weiss started twitching. "Are you telling me they're lost at sea." She stated with held back annoyance.
"How did this guy even get there!" Jaune asked.
"We'll, he showed up in a barrel drifting in the sea … and then got directions from a kid …" Ruby listed off, her voice getting more depressed.
"Hopefully they find some way to navigate in the future." Blake said.
Zoro: Hold on! Isn't it a little strange-Planning to become pirate king without knowing the first thing about navigation?
"On the bright side, he seems reasonably intelligent." Ren said hopefully.
Luffy: It's not. I just drift at sea. What about you? Aren't you the great bounty hunter of the sea?
Zoro: I don't recall ever saying I was a bounty hunter.
The team blinked. "His title is pirate hunter! At least stick to the meaning!" Yang said angrily.
Zoro looked up in conteplence.
Zoro: I went out to sea in search of a certain man … and couldn't find the way back to my village. I had no choice but to earn a living by chasing pirates.
"And there goes his intelligence." Ren said depressingly.
Yang sighed. "At least he has a reason for the name." She said relieved. She had to have future pun material after all.
Blake looked at the screen. 'A certain man. What could he mean by that?' She thought.
Luffy: Oh, so you're just lost.
Zoro: Don't say it like that!
Zoro rocked the boat, causing Luffy's straw hat to fly into the air. Luffy gasped, and said a simple word.
Luffy: Shanks!
Zoro looked at him curiously.
"Shanks? Do you guys think that's who gave Luffy the hat?" Blake asked.
"Maybe, he must be cool the way luffy cares about that thing." Ruby said.
The scene changed to a man with red hair and a white vest, eyes hidden by his bangs, and tossing his straw hat up and down.
Man: This straw hat has seen me though many a battle. It's very important to me.
The hat continues to float away
Man: I can't just give it to you, Luffy.
"Hey, that must be Shanks! The title said he had red hair." Ruby said proudly.
"He looks like a hunk." Yang said with a grin, causing others to look at her before backing away.
"I don't get it. If the hat's so important, why give it to Luffy?" Pyrrha asked, but got no answer. Now that question was on everyone's mind.
Luffy and Zoro rush to grab the hat, their arms stretching out. A hand grabs the hat and places it on their head. Revealing shanks, a man with wide eyes, three scars on one of them, and a wide smile. He had a small goatee on him.
"Wow, so that's him in all his glory." Yang said, clearly impressed.
"Wonder who gave him his scar." Weiss said curiously, unconsciously rubbing her own.
It shows a bar, with a bunch of men partying. One in particular was drinking a barrel of booze.
Someone: Hey, pour me another!
At the bar front of the bar we see the red hair man along with a little boy, who looks like Luffy.
Young Luffy: Come on! Take me with you on your next adventure, Shanks! I wanna be a pirate, too!
"I was right!" Ruby said with a cheer.
"Aww, young Luffy is so adorable. Even then he wanted to beat people up as a pirate." Nora said merilly.
"I don't think that Shanks guy will let him Nora." Ren stated.
"Yeah, taking a kid to sea is not a smart thing." Jaune agreed.
Shanks: *Laugh* You'd never make it as a pirate!
Luffy: Why not?
Skinny man: *Puffs cigaret* Luffy, I know you're a good swimmer, but it takes more than that to be a pirate!
"Funny how he was told he can't be a pirate, yet is one now." Pyrrha stated with humor.
"Actually, Klein told me that it's unlucky for sailors to know how to swim." Weiss stated.
"Why would they have that as a superstition?" Jaune asked.
"Because if a sailor knows how to swim, they will remain swimming in the ocean, where no one can rescue them, alone forever only making their death longer and more tiring." Blake calmly explained as everyone else started hugging out of fear.
Luffy: I can fight, too! My punch is like a pistol!
Shanks: Is that so?
Shanks returns to his food as Luffy gains shar teeth and white eyes out if fury.
Luffy: Don't make fun of me!
Team Rwby started to laugh. "What's so funny?" Asked Jaune.
"His main attack is Rubber Rubber Pistol, where he stretches his arm and punches the bad guy." After what Yang said, Jnpr also started to laugh.
Big Man: It sounds like Luffy can't wait to grow up.
Bandana man: Yeah, he's about the same age as my kid.
Luffy: I'm not a kid! I'm a man!
"I feel your pain Luffy." Ruby said with anime tears.
Shanks: Hey, don't get so worked up. Here. Have some juice.
Luffy: Thanks! *Gulps*
"Hey Nora, could you pass me a soda?" Asks Jaune, who receives a soda from … somewhere. 'How does she do that?'
Shanks: See? Still a kid!
Luffy: That was dirty Shanks!
Everyone in the bar starts to laugh loudly.
Luffy: STOP LAUGHING!
"... I don't get it. Doesn't everyone drink juice?" Asks Ruby.
"I think it's more of him having juice than … other things." Weiss explains. "But I agree it's weird."
"Yeah. I still have juice, and i'm not a kid." Jaune brings up … which causes some to shift awkwardly.
"Of course your not." Pyrrha says, patting Jaune.
Luffy: No fair! Stinky Shanks!
A shadow looms over the front door as it's kicked down. The laughter stops as everyone turn their heads to the now broken door.
Shadow: Excuse us.
"Well … this seems bad." Yang said. "I know when a party's over."
"I know. Usually people cheer after they blow something up." Nora says in agreement.
Everyone continues to stare as the unknown group walks in.
Shadow: Oh, so these are the lot who call themselves pirates. They look like a bunch of bums.
He says as he steps on the door.
"Oh they are so gonna get their buts handed to them." Nora says, preparing for a fight.
The unknown man moves in front of shanks. The female bartender walks over.
Bartender: Welcome.
The face of the man is shown. He has a beard with black hair. He has a look on his face that speaks of evil.
Man: We're bandits. Don't worry, we're not here to destroy your bar. We simply like to buy ten barrels of beer.
The group of bandits all have a look of greed on them.
"I don't think they plan on 'buying' the beer." Jaune said with air quotes, glaring at the screen.
"Come on, fight them already!" Yang exclaimed.
Bartender: I'm sorry, but we're out of beer at the moment.
Bandit: Oh, that's interesting. So are you telling me these pirates are drinking water?
Bartender: They just happened to buy the last of our beer.
Shanks looks up from his food.
Shanks: I feel guilty. We drank the place dry. Sorry. You can have this if you like. It's still corked.
"Well, he seems like a reasonable guy." Jaune said.
Shanks hands the bandit a bottle, who looks like he's about to grab it. The bandit then turns his hand into a fist and punches the bottle, the shards and contents hitting Shanks. The Bartender placed a hand on her mouth. Everyone else stares.
"Alright, I agree with the violent people in the room." 'Hey'. "They need to be taught a lesson." Blake said, gripping her knuckles tightly.
Bandit: I'm a wanted man-I'm worth 8,000,000 Berri. One bottle isn't even enough for a bedtime drink. Don't insult me.
"He seems very prideful." Ren said with a glare.
"What's a Berri?" Asks Jaune.
"There currency. We're not sure how much it is though." Weiss replies.
Shanks: The floor's all wet. Sorry about that, Makino-san. Do you have a rag?
Makino: I'll take care of it.
Shanks started to clean the glass from the ground.
"He's turning the other cheek." Ruby said with a smile.
"See you guys, not all conflict has to result in violence." Weiss stated with superiority.
The bandit drew his sword, and sliced a large gash into the bar.
Bandit: It seems you really like cleaning up. Now you can have a blast.
"I retract my previous statement. Hit him in the shins!" Weiss yells.
He puts back his sword.
Bandit: If there's no beer here, then we're wasting our time. Let's go!
The bandits start to walk out of the bar.
Bandit: Later, cowards.
"Come ON! Attack them already!" Nora screams.
"Even Luffy looks like he's about to snap." Ruby wined.
Indeed, Luffy was clutching his drink tightly as the half of the front door swayed, with a mean look in his eye. Makino walked over to Shanks with a rag.
Makino: Are you ok? Are you hurt, Captain?
"If he's their captain, then the men should have stood up for him." Pyrrha said with anger.
"I agree." Weiss said, small glyphs forming at her fingers.
Shanks: It's just fine. Don't worry.
Suddenly he snorted. Following this, every pirate started to laugh.
Bandana man: They sure got you good, boss!
Fat man: That was pathetic!
Even Shanks was laughing loud.
Luffy/Ruby: Why are you laughing!?
Everyone stopped laughing and looked at him.
Everyone turned to Ruby, who had small tears. "They were bullying you, why are you guys laughing. That's not funny." She said sadly.
"Hey, I used to laugh when Cardian bullied me." Jaune brought up.
"Jaune, that's unhealthy and you know it." Pyrrha stated firmly.
Luffy: That was shameful! Why didn't you fight back!? No matter how many there are or how strong they look … if you laugh and let them bully you like that, you're not men! You're not pirates!
"What Luffy said, you have to fight back against bullies or they'll just keep going." Ren stated, looking at Jaune.
Shanks: I understand how you feel … but all they did was spill some beer. It's nothing to get angry over.
Luffy: Just forget it!
"I'm with Luffy. Fight those jerks!" Yang exclaimed.
Luffy looks at the counter and sees a purple fruit with spirals.
"What the heck is that!" Weiss exclaimed. "It looks disgusting."
"I don't know. We really haven't seen their food before. Could be some local cuisine. I'm more curious why no one stood up for their captain. Back … where i'm from, you always respected authority." Blake told them.
"I mean come on, even Luffy could have taken them with those weird powers." Nora said angrily.
"Not really, he probably doesn't have them yet. The bad guys say he got them from eating a devil …" She trailed off, everyone turning to the screen where crunching noises were heard. "Fruit."
Shanks: Eating your worries away, Luffy?
Luffy: Shut up!
Shanks developed a look of shock.
Shanks: What are you eating!?
Luffy swallowed before turning to the pirate.
Shanks: That box! Did you eat what was in that box!?
Luffy: Y-Yeah.
The red haired man grabbed his leg's as he shook Luffy upside down.
Shanks: Cough it up! Cough it up now! All of it!
"It's to late Shanks, he already has it in the future." Ruby said to no one.
Luffy: What are you doing, Shanks!?
Suddenly, the boy's leggs streatched as his face hit the ground. There was silence for a second before his body went up, and then his head.
Luffy: What was that?
"Your future superpower. Which is totally awesome." Ruby said, fist pumping Nora.
"You know, it's funny to see rubber powers not be used in battle." Yang said chuckling.
"It still vexes me how a simple FRUIT let's someone have a rubber body! Hopefully, that's the least confusing one." Weiss vented.
Shanks: That thing you ate was the Gomu Gomu Fruit! It's one of the Devil's Fruits! Whoever eats it becomes a Rubberman! They'll never be allowed to swim again!
Luffy: *Scream* No way!
Shanks: YOU IDIOT!
"We'll that's a trade off. Superpowers for the price of not being able to swim." Pyrrha said to no one, wondering if she would take that gamble.
"Wait, so one of the town's best swimmers can't swim?" Bake asked, amused by the irony.
"I guess the kid has the 'devil's luck'." Yang was then attacked by more tomatoes.
The town is shown empty, with the bar also empty and wrecked. A woman is running in the street. Luffy hits something.
"Guys, what's going on?" Ruby asked.
"I think something bad happened." Yang replied.
Bandit: We were enjoying our beer until you strolled in. What'd you go and do that for, kid?
Luffy: Apologise, dammit! You were making fun of Shanks and his crew!
"He should have just left it alone." Jaune groaned.
"Problems don't go away until you break their legs Jaune." Nora said with maniacal grin, but still worried.
Makino is still seen running as the bandit kicks luffy in the face.
Bandit: Did something I said hit a nerve?
Luffy: You're damn right! Apologise!
"Now's not the time to demand Luffy!" Blake said worriedly.
Makino bursts open a door
Makino: Mayor!
The Mayor is shown as an old man with glasses and a hat drinking tea. It then shows both of them running.
"I don't think diplomacy is going to be any good on these guys." Yang said, eyes glaring.
A flashback is shown of the Bandits drinking in the bar.
Random Bandit: Did you see the look on those Pirates' faces?
Another Random Bandit: Their boss is on the ground soaked in beer and those pushovers don't say a thing!
Bandit Leader: Pirates are nothing but a bunch of useless cowards with a ship.
"I think I know how it escalated." Blake said, gripping her knuckles.
Luffy: Stop it! Don't make fun of Shanks and his crew! They're not cowards!
Makino: Stop it Luffy!
"I agree, you can't take him on like a kid." Pyrrha said worried.
"So now it's bad to speak out." Jaune said, slightly ticked off.
"That is a completely different matter and you know it. You should have talked to an adult about it." Pyrrha said in a reprimanding tone.
Luffy: Don't make fun of Shanks, you stupid bandits!
It now shows Makino and the Mayor reaching the bandits, where the leader's eyes are shadowed.
Bandit: That was a poor choice of words, kid. No one has ever pissed me off, and lived to tell about it.
Everyone's blood ran cold. "He would … kill a child?" Ruby asked shaking.
"No, don't die Luffy!" Nora screamed worried.
"He can't die, he's in the future!" Weiss yelled, annoyed but also worried.
The bandit leader gripped his hilt.
Mayor: Please wait! Let that child go. I beg of you.
Luffy stared wide eyed at the two.
Mayor: I don't know what Luffy's done, but we don't want any trouble! We'll pay you as an apology!
The mayor got on his knees and bowed.
Mayor: I beg of you! Please let that child go!
Luffy: Mayor!
'Take the bait, take the bait.' Ren repeated in his mind.
Bandit: You old folk sure know the ways of the world. Unfortunately, you're too late to save him. He's gone and pissed me off.
The bandit drew his sword.
"Oh, come on! Luffy can't die! He has to be in the future!" Ruby pleaded.
Luffy: You're the one pissing people off, mountain monkey!
Bandit … What a hopeless brat. You can regret what you've done in the afterlife.
Everyone was prepared to look away when the screen went back to Makino and the Mayor, with someone behind them. "... Is that?" Yang asked, exited.
Makino: Luffy!
Mayor: Please! Let him go!
Shanks: There was no one in the bar, so I figured something was up. And if it ain't our friends, the bandits.
Makino: Captain!
"It's Shank's crew!" Ruby cheered at the same time as Makino.
"For once, i'm glad the Pirates showed up." Weiss said with relief.
"Hopefully, they can turn the tides." Blake said with all attention on the Tv.
"Finally, some action!" Yang yelled in excitement.
Everyone was still with anticipation, looking at the pirates.
Luffy: Shanks!
Half time
Team Jnpr blinked.
"What was that?" Jaune asked.
"The half time, where they do commercials and we do breaks." Ruby explained, as everyone went to do their thing, and Yang refiled the popcorn. Afterwards, everyone went down and resumed.
Half time, but this time, there was a more dramatic trumpet, followed by a poster for zoro.
"Huh, that's new." Yang remarked.
"Maybe it's because he just joined the crew?" Ren brought up.
"Maybe. If that's the case, we could have a whole slew of posters and songs when the time comes." Ruby said.
We now go back to the standoff.
Bandit: You still in town, pirate? Have you been mopping all the floors in the village?
Shanks: Luffy … isn't your left punch as strong as a pistol?
"Ignored!" Yang cried out laughing.
Weiss's eyes twitched. "Wrong thing to talk about in this scenario." She said annoyed.
"I don't think so." Everyone turned to the speaker … who was Jaune!
"I don't think telling a kid about his punching strength is important in life or death." Blake pointed out.
He pointed to the screen. "Just watch."
Luffy: Shut up!
Bandit: I don't know what you want, but you'd better beat it before you get hurt. If you come any closer, you'll get your head blown off, coward.
Shanks walked forward a little bit, before a gun was put to the side of his head.
Random Bandit: He told you not to come any closer … unless you want your head blown off.
The Bandits started to chuckle.
"Damn it, he should have stuck in the back. A leader doesn't go in the front lines." Pyrrha said annoyed.
"I know. It's odd, he must have a plan or something." Ren agreed.
The red haired man simply smiled.
Shanks: You're risking your life.
Random Bandit/Teams Rwby and Jnpr: What?
Shanks: When you wield that pistol, you risk your life.
Random Bandit: What the hell are you talking about?
"What the bandit said." Nora agreed.
"I know, I use a gun all the time, I know my aura will protect me." Ruby said calmly.
Blake's eyes suddenly went wide. "But they don't." Everyone turned to her. "This world, they haven't found anything like an aura yet."
Jaune's eyes widened. "All it takes is one stray shot, and you're dead." An unsettling fear went on everyone.
The captain starred the man dead in the eyes and pointed at his gun.
Shanks: I'm saying this thing isn't a toy.
A gunshot went off … showing the fat pirate killing the bandit … while eating! The Bandit's body hit the ground, and everyone but the crew had a look of horror.
"What the ... hell?" Weiss said, looking pale.
Jaune, Ruby, and Nora paused it as they puked out the window and in the toilet.
"They have no qualms about killing in cold blood apparently!" Blake said annoyed. Even in the white fang, they treated most killing with dignity. And it was a kill or be killed senario.
After everyone got settled down, they resumed.
Another Random Bandit: Y-You killed him!
Yet Another Random Bandit: You dirty bastards!
Epic music starts to play in the background.
Bandana pirate: Dirty?
Tall pirate: Don't be stupid. Did you think you we're fighting saints?
Shanks: The men who stand before you are pirates.
"...Well, he's got a point." Jaune stated, still reeling from the kill.
"Never expect a crook to play fair, no matter how nice they are." Weiss said, a small glare at Blake. Those matches were supposed to be NO SEMBLANCE!
Different Bandit: Shut up! We don't have any business with you!
Shanks: Listen, bandits. You can spill beer on my head, or even spit on me … and I'll laugh it off. However, no matter what reason you may have for it … I will never allow you to hurt my friends!
Luffy thoughts: Shanks!
'He would … do all that!' Jaune thought, remembering how he only refused Cardians request when it involved his friends.
"Avoiding conflict until only necessary … I guess it makes since." Weiss stated, seeing the logic.
"You guys see those eyes? Now we know it's time for but kicking!" Yang yelled excitedly.
"Yeah, break some legs!" Nora screamed.
"They killed a man. I believe they'll do more then that." Ren stated simply.
Bandit: *Laugh* You won't allow it, huh? Pathetic pirates! Men, kill the lot of 'em!
The bandits start to charge. The tall pirate steps forward, holding onto his rifle.
Tall pirate: I'll handle them. I'll be more than enough.
"Oh yeah, let's see some gun action!" Ruby cheered excitedly.
The tall pirate grabs the barrel of his musket and swings it like a club, knocking everyone out, and breaking some swords in the process.
"... Or just ignore how guns are supposed to work. That's cool to." Ruby pouted, being hugged by her sister.
"Don't worry sis, i'm sure when we see a real sniper, he's gonna be awesome!" Yang said as she consoled her little sister.
"With how this show works, I doubt it." Weiss stated, sending Ruby deeper into despair.
Tall pirate: You're awfully arrogant, bandit. If you want to fight us, you better bring a warship.
Luffy: So strong …
Nora started to write in a booklet. "Nora, what are you doing?" Asked Jaune.
"Keeping a list of cool things to say." She replied.
"Huh, I pegged Yang to do something like that." Pyrrha commented.
"I keep it mental." Pyrrha nods at this confirmation.
Bandit: W-Wait a minute! This kid is the one who started it!
Shanks: I believe there's a bounty on your head.
"Oh, yeah! Pirates can … how would they even get near the government?" Asks Jaune.
"They probably have middle men, or hand them to bounty hunters at a price." Ren replies.
Bandit: Shit!
The Bandit throws a black ball on the ground that explodes.
Shanks thoughts: A smoke bomb!
When the smoke clears, the bandit and Luffy are gone.
Shanks: Luffy!
"Oh shoot, he's gonna get away!" Ruby feared.
"Relax, I'm sure they've got this handled." Jaune assured.
Shanks: Crap! I let him get away with Luffy! What should I do!?
Fat pirate: This is no time to panic and act like an idiot and panic, boss! We'll find him if we all look!
Tall pirate: Jeez. This guy …
"... You were saying?" Pyrrha asked, looking at Jaune.
"I hope Luffy's ok." Ruby said worried.
"It's the past! He'll be fine!" Weiss nearly screamed.
It now shows a boat with the Bandit holding Luffy over the water.
Bandit: That was easy. They'd never think a bandit would take to the sea.
"He's got a point, why would they look for him in the one place he would be unfamiliar?" Blake stated.
Luffy: Damn! Let me go, you stupid mountain monkey! Why don't you drop dead!?
Bandit:You're the one who's about to die, idiot. You really pissed me off. Bye-bye.
And like that, the Bandit tossed the kid into the water.
"No! He can't swim!" Nora cried worriedly.
Ren stared at the screen. 'How did he survive this?' He thought.
Luffy thoughts: Damn! Damn! I didn't get to hit that scumbag even once! Damnit!
Luffy hit the water, and submerged. He came to the surface, struggling to stay on top.
Bandit: Sorry, but you're of no further use for me. *Laugh*
"Come on Karma! Do your thing!" Ruby screamed.
Nora looked over, curious. "Karma?" Her home life … didn't give her the best knowledge on definitions.
"What goes around comes around. All actions get rewarded or punished by the universe." Pyrrha explained.
"Ruby, Karma works in mysterious ways that take a while. It won't happen imedi-" Blake was interrupted by what happened next.
A giant collum of water arises from behind the Bandit, when stopped, revealed a giant green face with red eyes and sharp teeth.
"Oh my Oum!" Weiss exclaimed as they looked at the massive beast.
"I wanna ride it!" Nora cheared, the rest of Jnpr going pale now that she had a new target.
"Talk about a 'beast' of a time." Yang really wanted to know where they got these fruit from.
The Bandit turned around, shocked at the monster.
Bandit: Wh-What the hell is that!?
Luffy is still drowning, as the Bandit was eaten whole, along with the boat. The beast now turns his sights on the boy.
Luffy: Someone help!
"Look, the bandit was fine, but don't eat Luffy!" Yang cried.
The beast swam like lightning as he opened his jaws in an attempt to devour the kid. A flash of white, and the red haired captain is shown, as the beast closed its mouth. He's holding Luffy next to him, protected.
Luffy: Shanks.
"Oh yeah, Shanks is here! Swim Luffy out of there!" Ruby cheered.
"Not everyone can swim as fast as you Ruby." Jaune said. "Especially after the pool incident." Everyone involuntarily shuddered, so many eels.
The beast resurfaces and looks at its prey, but it's eyes widen. It shown Shows Shanks staring down the monster with a look of pure anger.
Shanks: Get lost!
The beast let out a whine/growl as he stared Shanks in the eyes, its slits dilating into nothing. Soon, the beast swims away.
"Did he just stare that thing down!" Pyrrha exclaimed, slightly terrified and relieved.
"Awesome! I'm so gonna try that on some grimm!" Yang cherred.
Ruby was silent as she remembered her time with Professor Oobleck. The reason why bigger grimm survived the way they did. 'They learned to fear. If this thing was afraid of a few humans … how strong was Shanks!?' She thought.
Shanks: I owe you one, Luffy. Makino-san told me everything. You stood up to them for us.
"Aww." The more sensitive girls cooed at the touching scene.
Luffy started to cry.
Shanks: Oi, don't cry. You're a man, right?
Luffy: But, Shanks … Your arm!
The scene banned out, and showed a bloody stump where Shank's left arm used to be.
Everyone's eyes widened. "He gave up his arm … to save him." Blake said slowly.
Shanks: One arm is a small price to pay. I'm glad your safe.
The gang started to cry. "He doesn't even care it's gone." Pyrrha said, hoping not to break down.
Luffy continued to cry. Getting louder and louder.
Ruby started to ball. "Luffy must feels so guilty!" she cried.
The scene changed once again, to show the pirates leaving.
Random pirate: Oi, hurry it up!
Luffy: You're leaving huh?
Shanks: Yeah. We've stayed here for quite a while, but it's about time for us to go. I bet you'll miss us.
Luffy: Yeah, I'll miss you guys … but I won't ask you to take me with you. I've decide to do it by myself. I'm gonna be a pirate.
"Inspiration from the man that saved his life … I guess I can accept him as a pirate … for now." Weiss said, still glaring, although with puffy eyes.
Shanks looked at Luffy and stuck his tongue out.
Shanks: I wouldn't have taken you, anyway! A kid like you could never be a pirate!
Luffy: I will!
"Yeah, tell him Luffy." Nora cried, tears still down her eyes.
Luffy: I'll gather my own crew of nakama that's strong enough to beat yours … and find the world's greatest treasure! I'm gonna become the Pirate King, no matter what!
"That's the spirit!" Jaune screamed, tears stopping.
Shanks: Oh, so you're gonna beat us? In that case …
The man took off his straw hat and put it onto Luffy.
Shanks: I'll let you look after this hat. It's very important to me. Take good care of it.
Tears started to run down Luffy face.
'Please, no more tears.' Blake mentally pleaded.
"Now we know the importance of the hat." Ruby said.
The pirate flag breezed in the wind as the pirates set said, the town waving.
Person: Bon Voyage!
Shanks thoughts: Someday … you'll have to give it back to me-
It showed Luffy, gripping the hat while crying.
Shanks thoughts: When your a great pirate! It's a promise, Luffy!
We now go back to the present, where Luffy is clutching the hat that nearly fell overboard.
"So the hat came from a great pirate, passing it on to another." Ren stated, as he stopped crying.
"So awesome! I love this show!" Ruby cheered.
Zoro: Oi, if you keep spacing out, you're gonna drop it again. It's important to you, right?
"Wasn't it you who dropped it?" Weiss asked sarcastically.
"Actually, the boat did." Nora stated.
"It was a rhetorical-nevermind." Weiss grumbled.
Luffy: Yeah. Thank you, Zoro.
Zoro: I'm hungry!
There was silence as Luffy looked up, and saw a bird.
Zoro: A bird, huh?
Luffy gained a bright smile.
"Luffy, let's think this through." Pyrrha tried to warn him.
Luffy: Let's eat that bird!
Zoro: How?
Luffy: Leave it to me!
The rubber man stretches and gabs the mast.
Luffy: Gomu Gomu no Rocket
He launches himself in the air.
"Bet you ten lien he's gonna miss." Ren said to any takers.
"Bet you twenty he catches the bird." Yang said, waving the cash.
"Bet you both thirty lien neither of those happen!" They looked to Ruby.
"Fine, you're loss." Weiss said as she placed ten in.
Zoro: I see.
Luffy flies, and hits the bird.
Zoro/Group:Huh?
It now shows the bigger was only small because it was far away. It's actually so big, it has Luffy in it's jaws.
Luffy: AAHHHH! HELP ME!
Zoro: You dumbass! What the hell are you doing!
Most of the gang is on the floor laughing. "Oh Oum, we needed that." Yang said in between laughs.
"We'll, I'll take my winnings thank you." Ruby said as she took the money.
"You know, we should have expected it from this show." Weiss said, peeved at lost lien.
It shows the three pirates from the start, as Zoro rows near them.
Pirate 1: Hey! Please stop! You on the boat! Stop!
"Hey, it's the guys from earlier." Blake pointed out.
"Looks like they're in 'deep' trouble." Yang punned, getting her more fruit.
Zoro: Drifters!? I don't have time for this! I can't stop the boat! Climb on when it passes by!
Pirates: What!
They barley cling as Zoro paddles like a madman.
Zoro: Wow, you actually got on.
Pirates: Are you trying to kill us!?
"Congratulations, you now have your first taste of pirate insanity!" Nora cheered.
"Those poor souls." Weiss felt sorry for them.
Pirate 1: Oi. Stop this boat. We're with Buggy the Clown … and we'll be taking this ship.
"... I can't tell what's more stupid. Working with a clown, or taking on Zoro." Jaune said.
"I say fighting Zoro." Ruby said seriously.
Zoro looked at them. The next scene shows them beaten up as they paddle.
Pirate 1: We had no idea you were the famous Pirate Hunter Zoro!
Pirates: Please forgive us!
"Wow, that was fast." Ren deadpanned.
"Yeah. They were so weak, they didn't even get screen time.
Zoro: I lost sight of my nakama because of you. Whatever. Just keep rowing.
Pirates: Aye!
"He's slave driving them … how come we never do this with our enemies?" Nora asks.
"Because it's wrong." Ren deadpans..
Zoro: If I know Luffy … he'll get down once he finds some land.
"Sounds like him." Ruby nods.
Pirate 2: Man … what are we gonna do, Aniki?
Aniki: I don't know. When Captain Buggy finds out that a girl took our treasure and our boat …
Zoro: Who's this Buggy you keep talking about?
"That's what we'd like to know." Weiss agrees.
Pirate 3: You've never heard of Buggy the Clown, sir?
Zoro: Can't say I have.
Aniki: He's the leader of our pirate crew. He has a mighty Devil's Fruit power. Long story short, he's a very fearsome man.
"A devil fruit power!" Yang screams.
"Could be trouble, depending on the fruit." Blake says.
It now shows a colorful boat. With a red nose pirate flag. The town is desolate and empty.
"Looks like this 'Buggy' person took over the town." Pyrrha thought out loud.
The orange haired girl is shown running
Girl: I did it! I finally got it!
Pirates are chasing after her.
Random pirate: Wait, you little bitch!
Another Random Pirate: You thieving woman! Give it back!
"Why would they want a piece of paper?" Yang asks.
"Could be a treasure map. Pirates love those." Nora thought.
Random Pirate: We just stole that map! It's gonna take us to the Grand line!
Everyone jumped. "The grand line! Luffy needs that map!" Yang shouted.
Another Random Pirate: Shit! If we don't get back, we won't live to see tomorrow.
Yet Another Random Pirate: I don't want to be blown to bits by the captain's cannon!
Yang and Nora started to laugh, blurting out context. This caused some to blush, except Ruby, who didn't get what was so funny.
A tent is shown. Inside the tent, a man with a very big red nose.
Random Man: Captain Buggy! There's something in the sky, above the port.
It shows the bird eating Luffy through the eyes of binoculars.
Buggy: Shoot it down!
"I would laugh if I wasn't terrified for Luffy." Jaune said.
As the girl runs, a cannon shot is heard. She turns to the sky, along with the pirates, to see a man falling. That man, is Luffy!
"You guys think he's gonna be ok?" Ruby asked.
"He's made of rubber, falling doesn't hurt him. He'll be fine." Weiss explained.
Luffy crashed into the ground, making a crater that blew up smoke and made a boom.
"...He'll be ok ish." Weiss restated.
Girl: W-What?
Random Pirate: What was that?
Another Random Pirate: Someone fell out of the sky!
Luffy: Damn, where'd that cannonball come from?
"I think it was these guys." Jaune deadpanned.
The smoke cleared, as Luffy stood up.
Luffy: Well, at least i'm on land. That doesn't happen every day!
Everyone stares in silence as To Be Continued is on the screen.
"And death now approaches the villains." Nora said dramatically.
"Next episode, then bed." And like that Ruby hit play.
Hope you all enjoyed. Please tell me how you felt. Without criticism, I can't it's grammar, than I used google doc along with old subbing.
