Turning the tables of lovesickness, version 2.0

Chapter 1: prepare and escape

Authors note: I have watched some more one piece and decided on 2 things. 1st Jimbe will also be part of the crew, and 2nd to modify the storyline a bit. Any-who on with the story you've all been waiting for, the remake of the original, turning the tables of lovesickness; version 2.0, you may also notice that I have changed the layout I type with to extend my chapter length.

-On the Sabaody Archipelago-

We see the straw hat crew loading stuff onto the Sunny, Sanji is dealing with food supplies, Usopp is helping chopper carry medicine crates, Franky is carrying barrels of cola, Nami is monitoring it all, Brooke is asleep after being pulled from the sea and getting drenched to the 'bone' (because he's all bones, you had better have laughed at that joke), but there are also two new crew members, the swimming devil Emerald, and Jimbe took Luffy up on his offer to Join the crew. On that note where is Luffy?

"INCOMING" Luffy called as he toppled over Nami and Franky

"IDIOT" Nami yelled as she got up and dusted herself off "WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING"

"Sorry" Luffy muttered as he bowed his head failing to hide a laugh

"This is serious Luffy; we came back here because we lost all our supplies on Punk Hazard, which need I remind you, was your fault for wanting to explore the island?" Nami grumbled

"Sorry again" Luffy repeated "Say, where's Emerald? He's supposed to be helping pack the food" Luffy asked

"YOU WEREN'T HELPING EITHER YOU IDIOT" Nami yelled knocking him over the head

"Sorry again" Luffy muttered as a phoenix landed on the ship before turning into a man wearing a red scarf around his neck, a set of black shorts and a green vest that was left open revealing a huge scar that cut diagonally from his right shoulder to his waist he also had shaggy black hair and emerald green eyes "EMERALD WHERE WERE YOU?"

"You mean you don't remember putting me on patrol?" Emerald questioned.

"OH, THAT'S RIGHT" Luffy laughed "Did you see anything?" he asked as the final crate was taken into storage.

"Luffy-kun, he probably didn't see anything unusual" Jimbe interrupted.

"Actually, I saw a fleet of Navy vessels heading this way" Emerald corrected.

"MARINES, MARINES SPOTTED TO THE EAST" Usopp called from the crow's nest.

"Well that's just perfect" Zoro yawned as he woke up from his nap at the front of the ship.

-Mean while on one of the Navy vessels-

"VICE ADMIRAL SMOKER?" a marine called as he burst into the captains HQ to see Smoker sitting at his desk with a smoke in mouth.

"Take a seat" he ordered as the marine obeyed and sat down opposite to the new vice admiral "Now what is it?"

"OH RIGHT, we are within striking distance of the straw hat pirates" the marine explained as Smoker responded with a grin.

"Good, use the sea prism stone weaponry, their captain is a devil fruit user in case you've forgotten"

"We haven't forgotten Smoker, all cannons and guns are loaded with the sea prism infused bullets" the marine confirmed

"Excellent, now WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE OPEN FIRE ALREADY" Smoker yelled

"Y-yes C-captain" the marine stuttered as he ran through the halls giving the order to open fire

'I've got you now…Straw Hat Luffy' Smoker thought as he took another puff of smoke

-Back on the Sunny-

"THEY'VE STARTED FIRING" Usopp yelled

"No problem" Luffy said as he jumped into action "NOW GUM-GUM…"

'Something's not right here' Emerald thought "LUFFY WAIT" he yelled. But it was too late; he got hit and pinned as Sanji walked out.

"What happened?" he asked as Emerald toughed the cannon ball and instantly got weaker with just enough strength to remove the cannon ball from his captain.

"THEY'RE USING SEA-PRISM STONE, WE HAVE TO MOVE" Emerald yelled as he threw the cannon ball into the ocean while Brooke, Zoro, Sanji and Franky took battle positions to protect the Sunny from the cannonballs, Brooke and Zoro cut them, Sanji kicked them away and Franky used weapons left to blow them up at a distance.

"JIMBE, YOU TAKE FRANKY'S PLACE, FRANKY I NEED YOU TO OPERATE A COUP DE' BURST, FULL POWER, USOPP YOU HELP TOO" Nami yelled as the orders were followed with Jimbe walking to the side of the Sunny and Franky dashing to the engine room while Emerald moved Luffy out of the line of fire to the back of the Sunny.

"Hang in there mate" Emerald said before signalling Jimbe to protect it from the sea as he ran to his cabin and grabbed his swords, after copying Zoro's swords-man ship skills due to the power of the copy-copy fruit he is truly a force to be reckoned with, the swords he uses are the Shi no ken (sword of death, Honōnoken (sword of flames) and the konton no ha (blade of chaos).

"Ignition technique" Emerald murmured as he clashed the blades of his swords together igniting them on fire as a cannon ball approached him emitting warnings from the crew "three sword style…" he started as he got his blades into position "BLAZING DRAGON" he yelled as the he fired a massive blast of heat energy that soon turned into fire further transforming into the head of a dragon as it caught the cannon ball and pushed it back and into the sea. "HOW'S OUR ESCAPE COMING ALONG FRANKY?" Emerald yelled

"A FEW MORE TWEAKS AND WE'LL BE SUUUUUUUPER READY TO GO" Franky called back

"DON'T KEEP ME WAITING" Emerald called as he cut another cannonball. A few moments later Franky called for everyone to hold on tight.

"HERE WE GO, THIS IS GOING TO BE A BIG ONE" Franky called as Jimbe leaped onto the ship "COUP DE' BURST" and with those words the ship sky rocketed away from the mayhem and the crew cheered not knowing that someone didn't make it.

-Back with the marines-

"THEY WHAT" Smoker yelled smashing his fist on the table

"We couldn't stop them, we were close but next thing we knew the ship went flying" a marine explained.

"You had better have some good news or I'll head to Amazon Lilly and personally feed you to the sea-kings!" Smoker roared

"W-well some of the t-troops reported seeing straw hat himself; f-fall overboard during the escape" the marine stuttered in fear, this however calmed his mood a bit.

"Really?" Smoker questioned

"We sent divers to check and not too long ago we found a report saying that he did, we're going to…"

"NO!" Smoker interrupted startling the marine "This could work to our advantage, leave him be"

"Right" the marine responded "Divers, leave straw hat, Vice Admiral Smoker has a plan" he called into a transponder snail.

'With this turn of events we could catch the whole crew, minus straw hat because there really is no need considering he'll die anyway'
