"What's that up ahead?" Nami asked, pointing.
Luffy looked and grinnned. "Whatever it is, it looks cool!" he said.
There was a giant, rotating purple oval sticking up out of the ocean.
"I wonder if it leads to a new world?" Usopp wondered.
Zoro kicked him. "Don't be an idiot."
"Let's sail into it and find out!" Luffy exclaimed.
"I don't know…" Nami hesitated.
"Come on! We're already headed towards it anyway!" Luffy pleaded.
Sanji spoke up. "It would be kind of like an adventure, I guess, but I'll only go if my precious Nami-swan goes too!"
Nami sighed. "Fine. But if we get into trouble, you're paying for repairs, and that and an extra 20,000 berries will be added to your debt." She pointed at Luffy.
The purple oval kept getting closer. Well, actually they were getting closer to the purple oval, but it seemed as though the oval was coming towards them.
Suddenly, Usopp gasped. "It's a portal!" he shouted. "Everyone take cover!" he dove under a deck chair.
Everyone stared at Usopp cowering. "There's no such thing as portals," Nami said.
Usopp just shook his head, whimpering.
Zoro turned around and swore. "Turn this thing around!" he shouted, running for the helm.
They were about to crash into it. Zoro rushed to turn the ship away, but it was too late. There was an ear-splitting BANG-CRACK and everything went black.
-x-x-x-
Mario stood and exited the room. Luigi was annoying him so much.
Luigi was trying to tell him that he had found an extremely rare kind of mushroom that took away your ability to swim, but gave you another ability in exchange. Mario wasn't going for it.
He shook his head. There was no way that that type of mushroom even existed.
He opened the door and walked out of the house. The cool fall breeze calmed him down, and he was able to think.
Mario decided to walk over to Princess Peach's castle and have tea with her. He hadn't been up there for tea in over a month, so he thought that she would like to have some company.
He began whistling a tune, hands in his pockets.
Suddenly, there was a loud BANG that sounded much like a Bob-Omb going off. It sounded like it came from the direction of Cheep Cheep Beach.
Mario hoped no one had gotten hurt. He ran towards the beach to go check.
When he was about half a mile away, he saw something strange. It seemed as though there was a ship that had crashed into the rocky cliff.
Mario paused. As far as he knew, there weren't any ships in the whole world, except the Rainbow Cruiser that flew up in the sky. Maybe it fell down?
If so, he had to check and see if all of the Goombas were okay. Even if he liked to go Goomba-stomping. It was still his duty, as the only witness, to check upon the well being of the creatures.
He ran over to the ship and checked it out carefully. It definitely wasn't the Rainbow Cruiser. It had a lamb's head figurehead at the front, which had snapped off as the ship had crashed into the wall. It was now laying beside the ship with a huge crack down the middle. And there were no rainbow colors on it whatsoever.
Mario then saw the flag, which had a tear down the middle. It was a pirate ship.
He shuddered. He had never seen pirates before, because they didn't exist. Or so everyone thought. But everyone had at least heard stories about them.
The pirate flag was a Jolly Roger wearing a straw hat.
Mario blinked. That was strange.
He knew, even if pirates were bad, that he had to see if there was anyone on board. But just as he was about to get up the courage to take a step onto the ship, a voice spoke.
"Where the hell are we?"
The voice was gruff, and sounded just like a pirate should sound. Mario took a deep breath.
"Is everyone alright-a?" he asked.
Silence from inside the ship. Then—
"Who was that?"
It sounded like a girl's voice. That was strange. As far as Mario knew, there were no girls on pirate ships. Unless she was a stowaway or a servant.
Suddenly another voice spoke. This one sounded like a kid.
"Where's my straw hat?" he sounded panicked.
Mario raised his eyebrows. Since the Jolly Roger had a straw hat on it, that voice must be the captain.
"Here," the girl spoke again.
Mario nodded to himself. Yes, she must be a servant.
He decided to ask again. "Is everyone alright-a?"
Silence again. Then another voice.
"Y-yes." It sounded like a scared little boy.
Mario decided to try another tactic. "My name is Mario-a," he said. "Who are you-a?"
"We are the Straw Hat Pirates!" the kid captain said.
"Can you come out-a here so I can see you-a?" Mario asked.
"AAH! It's the marines! We're doomed!" the scared little boy yelled.
There was a grunt from inside the wreckage. "It's not the marines. There's only one person out there, and I think he's a little scared of us." It was the gruff-voiced man again.
Mario was impressed. He wondered how the pirate knew that. But he said nothing.
Slowly, the Straw Hat Pirates picked their way out of the wreckage. The first one to emerge was someone with blond hair that completely covered his left eye. He also had a funny-looking eyebrow.
Following him was the girl. The boy offered his help, saying "Let me help you, Nami-swan!"
The girl refused. "I'm fine," she said. "But thanks."
Behind them was the boy wearing a straw hat. He had raven-black hair and wore a red vest and blue shorts. He was followed by a scary-looking green-haired man carrying three swords. Where he put the third one, Mario didn't know.
The four on the deck waited, presumably for someone else.
"Come on, Usopp!" the kid captain called.
After a lot of banging and shaking, the boy called "Usopp" emerged. He was covered head to toe with wood splinters and had a long nose.
"Is that-a all of you-a?" Mario asked.
The kid captain frowned. "Yes. But why do you keep saying 'uh' at the end of your words?" he seemed confused.
Mario frowned. "What-a do you mean-a?"
"There! You did it again!" the boy was getting irritated.
"I'm Italian-a."
The captain started laughing really loudly, seeming unable to stop.
"What-a?" Mario asked.
"I just noticed your outfit!" he said, in between laughs. "You're wearing some funny stuff, dude!"
The tall man with the swords eyed Mario as well, and he started laughing also. That made everyone else laugh too, and Mario frowned.
"I'm a plumber-a!" he tried defending himself.
The captain stopped laughing. "What's a plumber?"
"It's a guy who fixes toilets, you idiot," the blond-haired man said.
That set Luffy and the tall green-haired man off again.
Suddenly, Mario noticed something. "You have green hair-a."
The man stopped laughing and put a hand on the hilt of one of his swords. "What did you just say?"
Mario, not understanding that it was a threat, repeated himself. "You have green hair-a."
The tall man lowered his eyebrows and unsheathed the sword with the white hilt.
Now Mario realized what he had done. He started backing away.
The man unsheathed the rest of his swords, putting the one with the white hilt in his mouth.
Well, that answers my question, Mario thought.
He jumped down from the ship onto the sand. "Don't ever insult my hair!" the man growled around the sword hilt in his mouth. "I am Roronoa Zoro, Pirate Hunter and the strongest swordsman in the world!"
Mario just blinked.
The green-haired man scowled. "Where are we, northern Canada?" he asked. "He doesn't even know who I am!"
"What's Canada?" Mario asked.
"Never mind," the man said, sheathing two of his three swords. "Where are we, anyway?" he looked around.
"This is Cheep Cheep Beach."
The man started laughing. "Cheep Cheep Beach? What kind of name is that?"
Mario frowned. "It is the most visited beach in the summer other than Seaside Hill," he said.
"It's not summer, then?" the raven-haired boy asked, looking around and seeing no one.
"No, it's fall. Where are you from?"
"Why, we're from the sea! We're pirates! Though I come from Foosha Village," he added as an afterthought.
Suddenly, the long-nosed boy called "Usopp" spoke up. "See? I told you it was a portal! None of us know where we are, or who this is, and he doesn't know where we come from or who we are!"
The girl sighed. She was staring at the damaged part of the ship. "That's gonna cost you a lot in repairs, Luffy," she said.
The captain looked over. Apparently his name was Luffy. He just shrugged. "Add it to my debt," he said. Though he frowned a bit when he saw the lamb figurehead was cracked.
"Hey, Zoro!" Luffy called.
The man with the swords turned. "Yeah?"
"Is it safe to come down?" Mario could tell that he was humoring the man.
Zoro rolled his eyes. "What do I look like, a scout?" but he looked around and said, "Yeah."
"Cool!" Luffy grabbed on to the wreckage on the port side of the ship and began walking backwards towards the starboard side.
It looked like Luffy was going to have to let go of the ship, but he never did. He just kept walking backwards, his arms stretching.
Mario's eyes widened. He had stretchy arms? How was that even possible? Then he thought back to when Usopp had said that they came through a portal to get here. That's probably how. The laws of physics were probably different in their world.
When Luffy reached the other side of the ship, he shouted, "GUM GUM ROCKET!" and jumped a little off the deck. He came rocketing forward, arms retracting as he went.
"WA-HOO!"he shouted, flying over Mario's head and landing some thirty feet behind him. "Now that was totally unnecessary!" he said.
Mario blinked, wondering why Luffy had cared to share that. But he put it off to him being from another world.
The girl jumped down, landing gracefully on the sand below. "Show off," she muttered, looking pointedly at Luffy.
Usopp followed suit, though not landing nearly as gracefully, falling head-first into the sand.
The blond-haired man climbed down slowly, careful not to get his clothes dirty.
Mario turned to Luffy. "How did you do that-a?" he asked.
"I'm a rubber man!" he said, stretching his cheek to prove it. "I ate the Gomu Gomu no Mi Devil Fruit."
"What's a devil fruit-a?" Mario asked.
"It's a fruit that takes away your ability to swim, but gives you another ability in exchange. Like my rubber body, for example."
Mario's eyes widened. That was just like what Luigi had been trying to tell him earlier! "Are they mushrooms-a?" he asked.
Luffy laughed. "No, they're actual fruits. Where'd you get the idea that they were mushrooms?"
"Well, my brother said-a he had some mushrooms that did-a the exact same thing-a your "Devil Fruit" did-a."
"DEVIL FRUIT MUSHROOMS?" Luffy shouted. "I wanna see!"
Even Zoro and the girl seemed interested. Usopp was still busy trying to get his head out of the sand, and the blond haired man was trying to impress the girl by talking about all of the exotic foods you could make with sand as an ingredient.
"I'll take-a you to him-a," Mario offered.
"SO COOL!" Luffy said. "I didn't even know they had Devil Fruits in other dimensions!"
Zoro sheathed his last sword and walked over to Usopp. "Here," he said, pulling him out of the sand with one hand.
Mario's eyes widened for the third time that day. That man was strong!
Usopp stood brushed the sand out of his black hair. "Thanks," he said.
"Come on-a," Mario said, walking away.
All of the pirates followed him, Luffy talking to Zoro, the blond-haired man trying to engage the girl in conversation, and Usopp interrupting Luffy and Zoro's conversation occasionally.
Mario sighed. He wondered what he had gotten himself into.
I couldn't find any Mario/OP crossovers, so I decided to make one myself. Not sure how often I'll be working on it, though. Trying to start a Star Trek/OP crossover that I was supposed to do before this. But I couldn't figure out how to start it off, so I went to this, which worked a lot better.
Note: berries=beli. The only reason that I put "berries" instead was for pronunciation purposes.
Note #2: Gomu Gumo No Mi Devil Fruit-I realize that "Devil Fruit" should not be part of the title. Well, let me put it this way. It isn't. "Devil Fruit" in this case is being used as an adjective, not a title.
Just wanted to clear those things up! I hope you enjoyed it!
