SD: How's that for a welcome back, aibou?
Fen: I feel great to be back man. Like the Phoenix, I've risen from the ashes.
SD: *Nods* Indeed. It's sure good to have you back for good this time.
Fen: Yeah. And to celebrate my return, I'm putting out a whole lot of new stories out on my homepage!
SD: Yep! And a bunch on my page as well! In preparation for Fen's return, he and I have begun working a whole bunch of Kamen Rider crossover stories, including two completely original Rider series, for you guys to enjoy, all leading up to one very special event!
Fen: That's right! Plus I got a new chapter of GX: Society of Light and the new 5D's sequel too!
SD: So, Fen, do you give them a little sneak peak of what we have in store for them?
Fen: I sure can! We've got some Kamen Rider crossovers going on. And they are:
Kamen Rider Kabuto: Days of Ruin (Kamen Rider Kabuto x Advance Wars: Days of Ruin)
Kamen Rider OOO: Unlimited Adventure (Kamen Rider OOO x One Piece: Unlimited Adventure
The Wizard of Zero (Kamen Rider Wizard x Familiar of Zero)
SD: And as for our original Rider stories, the first we have Kamen Rider Access, a story full of advanced technology, mind–controlling cyborgs, and espionage thrills as Kurogasa becomes a spy and fights the evil Bioroid Dominion and the criminal syndicate NOVA along with the mysterious Kamen Rider Infiltrate and Kamen Rider Secure. Next, in Kamen Rider Funk & Soul, Kurogasa and Koji step into platform shoes as the twin Riders Kamen Rider Funk and Kamen Rider Soul, princes of a groovy kingdom where disco never died as they fight against the monstrous Jiveless who threaten to darken their joyful land!
Fen: So now we got Blade, Kabuto, Kiva, W, OOO, Wizard, Duelist, Funk/Soul, and Access… hey… you thinking what I'm thinking?
SD: *Grin* you bet I am… Alright, guys, count up how many Rider stories that is right there? Notice anything about that number?

Fen: Now keep in mind people, I also got school going on, so I gotta give attention to that. I don't want to leave the moment I get back.
SD: Mhmm… I know what you mean, buddy, finishing up school myself. But don't worry guys, while chapters may not come flying out superfast, we'll keep pushing to give you guys what you want.
Fen: Other than that, it's great to be back.
SD: Alright, we'll I think that's enough talk for now. So, aibou, what do you say we get this party started, eh?
Fen: Let's do this! Here it is! One of my new stories! Or in the case, for my GX story, here's the new chapter!

OOO Driver and Scanner, check. All Core Medals, check. Medajalibur, check. Taja Spinner, check. Medagabryu, check. Okay, I'm good to go! It was everything I needed for today. It was the biggest convention of the year in Tokyo and I was looking forward to it more than I could say. TokuCon had finally come to Tokyo.
Oh I gotta tell ya who I am first. I don't want ya to be talking to a stranger. My name's Kurogasa Kururugi. I'm a 19 year old college student from Tokyo University with blue eyes and brown hair in a style that one would think I was Kira Yamato from Gundam Seed, even though I'm not. I was wearing a gold collared shirt with a silverish–white trench coat over it. Light blue denim jeans, black shoes and fingerless gloves. And as you can probably tell from the stuff I was gathering, I'm a huge fan of the Kamen Rider series, especially Kamen Rider OOO.
I know that show like the back of my hand. And after saving up money for half the year, working at some jobs, I had enough money to buy all my stuff. As of now, I'm waiting for a friend of mine that's going to TokuCon with me, and he's still not here yet.
His name was Koji Shinamori and like me, he was a student at Tokyo U, studying music and history. Yeah I know, weird combo. Anyhow, Koji looked actually pretty similar to me. People like to joke we looked like brothers, save for a few differences. His eyes were brown, he was about two inches taller than me, and while our hair color was the same, he wore it in a surfer cut.
And though he's my best friend, he has the one thing that I don't have: The ability to woo the girls. Don't get me wrong, I talk with girls, it's just that when it comes to wooing them, I'm never good at it.
Oh yeah… There is one thing also that differentiates us: he absolutely loves disco. I'm not kidding.
Everyday going to school, he always wears something that 70's related, not to mention that he talks 70's talk too. Yeah, he's that far into it. Still, I didn't mind and that's just him.
And somehow, that also helped him with the girls, showing off his dance moves for them.
But overall, the two of us were thick as thieves. Like me, he is also a huge Kamen Rider fan. Though, he was always more of a fan of the Secondary Riders than the Lead Riders. Whenever we were little and we would play Kamen Riders, we would never argue over who go to be the lead Rider. Like if we were pretending to be Riders from Kamen Rider Agito, I would be Agito and he would want to play always either G3 or Gills.
Suddenly there was a knock on the front door. "Kurogasa, Koji's here!" My mom called out from downstairs.
Finally! I was wondering what was taking him so long. "Thanks, Mom! Be right out!"
Grabbing the duffle bag that held all my OOO stuff, I went downstairs and there standing in front of the doorway was my best friend Koji.
And like I said, he was dressed in a 70's style: Bellbottom jeans, black short sleeved shirt with a wide collar, a silver male sign medallion, black platform shoes, and a black newsboy cap. Around his waist, he wore the Birth Driver and on his back was his Birth Buster. Winking at me, he offered me a fist bump and said, "Sup, buddy?"
"Yo Koji, what took you so long?" I asked. "Don't tell me you were busy hitting on the girls again."
Koji grinned sheepishly as he scratched the back of his head and said, "Well, the guy's daughter at the motorcycle shop wanted to make out and I, being a gentleman, could not deny the groovy chick's request!"
"I should've known…" I facepalmed, shaking my head, smiling. "And I'm pretty sure the guy kicked you out, am I right?"
"Not until after he finished the modifications on my bike to make it look like a Ride Vendor like he did to yours." he said, pointing outside with his thumb.
Meanwhile, my mom shook her head smiling as she came over to kiss Koji's cheek. "Koji, sweetheart, you're encouragable!"
"Sorry, Aunt Yukina, but I can't help that the girls like me!" Just a note, my mom isn't really Koji's aunt, but our parents are so close that we call each other's our aunt and uncle.
"Well then, you two better get going. You don't want to be late, right?" Yukina asked.
I nodded as I said, "I know. If we get there soon, we still might be able to get the VIP passes to the special panel with the Neo–Heisei Rider actors!"
Excited, Koji said, "Really!? Then what are we waiting for!?"
At that moment, my dad Kyoshiro came down from upstairs with a chuckle. "Heh, heh… You two, I remember getting this excited when I won the chance to meet the actors behind Kamen Riders Ichigo and Nigo."
"And you always said that you couldn't pass it up." I grinned.
He grinned with a nod, pulling out his Kamen Rider Scout medallion from under his shirt. "Exactly. Now, you two go and have fun!"
"Thanks Dad/Uncle!" Koji and I said in unison.
We then ran outside. As Koji hopped on his motorcycle, I opened the garage and got my own out, also done up like a Ride Vendor like his. Looking to him, I said with a grin as I pulled on my helmet, "Ready, aibou?"
"Ready when you are!" Koji grinned back.
"Let's boogie!"
Nodding my head at him, we revved up our motorcycles and we were off to TokuCon.
(Cue Theme Anything Goes by Maki Ohguro)
(You count the medals: 1, 2 and 3 Life goes on, Anything Goes, Coming up OOO) Kurogasa and Koji are seen falling from the sky as the Core Medals scatter across the sky. As Kurogasa lands on the Thousand Sunny, the Straw Hat crew, look at him suspiciously before smiling and helping him up.
(Instrumental) As the Taka, Tora, and Batta Medals fall into his hand, Kurogasa inserts them into the OOO Driver and slides the O Scanner across them, transforming into Kamen Rider OOO as the title logo appears.
(Iranai motanai yume mo minai FUREE na joutai sore me ii kedo [Kokkara hajimaru The show we're waiting for Count the medals: 1, 2 and 3]) Luffy holds up the orbs as it glows, making the logo disappear as we suddenly see him, Kurogasa, and Nami running across the island as they battle a swarm of Trash Yummies and Navy soldiers.
(Unmei wa kimi hottokanai kekkyoku wa susumu shika nai [Michi naru tenkai Give me energy Count the medals: 1, 2 and 3]) Usopp and Chopper freak out seeing the many Trash Yummies and Navy Soldiers, but Zoro and Sanji charged at the Yummies and Navy soldiers with Robin and Franky following them from behind.
(Dai~jo~bu ashita wa itsudatte Blank) Looking up, Kurogasa and Luffy see the Greeed standing on a cliff above them, staring down menacingly at them.
(Jibun no kachi wa jibun de ki~me~ru mono sa~ [OOO! OOO! OOO! OOO! Come on!]) Grabbing his Core Medals, Kurogasa slides them into the Driver, bringing the Scanner across them as he shouts, "HENSHIN!" As the OOO chant goes on, we see Kurogasa quickly change from TaToBa to GataKiriBa, RaToraTah, SaGoZo, TaJaDor, ShaUTa, PuToTyra, BuraKaWani, TaMaShii, and then Super TaToBa.
(Anything Goes! Sono kokoro ga~ atsuku naru mono~) Luffy stretches his whole body up while OOO in TaToBa form jumps up with the Batta legs and both try to land a blow on the Greeed, only for the latter to dodge.
(Mi~tasareru mono wo sagashite) Popora appears and distracts the Greeed when they get shot by Koji with the Birth Buster before turning into Kamen Rider Birth.
(Life goes on! Honki dashite tatakau no naru) All of a sudden, the entire battle stops as the Straw Hat crew, Popora, OOO, and Birth turn towards the Evil Guardian golem statue, going on a rampage.
(Makeru ki shinai hazu!) OOO turns into Super TaToBa as Birth transforms into Birthday Form as they, Luffy, and the rest of the crew attack the Evil Guardian, causing a huge flash of light. When it fades the Straw Hats plus Kurogasa and Koji are back on the deck of the Thousand Sunny, looking into the sunset as the title logo appears again.
Chapter 1: Conventions, Teleportation, and Pirates!?
On the vast ocean blue, a ship sailing was across the sea. It was a brig sloop type ship, which relies on the skills of its navigator. The ship has a lawn on its deck, complete with a swing and a slide, as well as an observation tower for a crow's nest. The huge masts give the ship extreme maneuverability. The figurehead is an animal's head, specifically a lion's with its mane in the shape of flower petals. This was the Thousand Sunny.
On the deck, were her eight crew members. The Captain was of course, the famous Monkey D. Luffy or "Straw Hat" Luffy for his nickname. He had short black hair with a few stitches under his left eye with black eyes. He had on a red vest–like shirt with gold trim and black markings, straw hat, blue jean shorts with two massive cargo pockets, and wooden sandals. And he has his trusty straw hat from Shanks himself. He also has the powers of the Gum–Gum Fruit.
Next was the First Mate and Swordsman: Roanoa Zoro, who uses three swords as his weapons. He has very short, spiky moss green hair. For his attire, he had on a white vest with black inside extending into almost a trench coat, goggles around his neck, a green obi, red belt with gold trim, three swords, dark greenish–blue pants, and boots.
Then there was the Navigator: Nami, who has short orange hair that grew down to her neck with amber eyes. She is also known as the "Cat Burglar" and is also known for being obsessed with anything that's treasure. She had on a white short–sleeved jacket, black and gold corset, orange skirt with white circles, and black high-heeled sandals.
The fourth member was the Sniper: Usopp, who had black, curly, puffed hair that's put down by a gold backwards baseball cap and his noticeable feature, was his long nose. He had goggles, a gold armor piece over his left arm and shoulder, a gold armband and wrist device on his right arm, a blue obi, white sash, gold pants, a brown belt with a gold buckle, two satchels on his legs, and a pair of hiking boots.
Our next member is the crew's Chef: Sanji who has blonde hair that covered his left eye and a curl in his eyebrow on the right eye with a cigarette in his mouth. He wore a blue double breasted vest with gold buttons and gold latch, an orange shirt, blue pants with rusty red straps on the left leg, and rusty red and dark blue boots.
Then there is the ship's Doctor: Chopper, who is actually a small talking reindeer that can stand on two feet. He had on an oversized red top hat with white tape in the shape of an X in the middle, a pair of antlers sticking out, a blue vest with black wristbands, red shorts, a belt that had a gold buckle with a C in the middle, and a satchel on his leg. He has the powers of the Human–Human Fruit.
Second to last was the ship's Archaeologist: Robin who has black hair that fell to the bottom of her neck and the bangs on the forehead of her hair were cut straight and even. She wore a purple sleeveless waistcoat with a gold trim, a purple cowboy hat with a purple skirt, a pair of purple platform boots with black straps near the ankles, and black bottoms. She has the powers of the Hana–Hana Fruit.
And lastly was the crew's Shipwright: Franky. He was actually a cyborg having baby blue hair in a cowlick style, wearing sunglasses and has oversized arms with very muscular abs, and skinny, skinny legs. He wore a too small Hawaiian shirt held together by a gold medallion with a blue star on it, a blue speedo, a gold armband on the right arm, a blue armband on left arm, and gold and blue leg bands.
"Well, whaddya think? I tried to come up with something that would fit each of you." Nami said. That solved the question of who actually made the clothes. The other crew members were giving her positive feedback on this.
"Well Ms. Navigator, I'd say you've got good taste." Robin said impressed.
"Isn't this cool?! I look cool! Don't you think I look cool?!" Chopper asked excited.
"I can't believe Nami made this for me! Fantastic!" Sanji said all giddy with a heart showing on his one visible eye.
Zoro did a test swing with one of his swords. "As long as it doesn't slow me down, I'm okay with it."
"Hahahahahahahaha! Witness the sniping skills that make me the world renowned sniper Usopp!" He boasted.
"I think your nose stands out, more than your sniping." Franky said, striking a nerve on Usopp. "More important, everyone look! Look how super cool I am! WOHOO! Check it out…" He said, before striking a pose.
"Are you making fun of my nose?!" Usopp yelled. "I got this from my mother!"
"What?!" Franky growled as he and Usopp butted heads.
"You heard me…" Usopp growled back.
"Okay guys." Nami said clapping her hands to get their attention. "That's gonna cost for each of you, 100,000 Beris.
"YOU'RE NOT GETTING MY MONEY!" Zoro, Usopp, Franky, and Chopper yelled in unison.
"These pockets are huge." Luffy said, examining them on his shorts. "I'm gonna go see how much meat I can put in them!" He then ran off, but then Nami smacked him down from doing that.
"OH no, you're not!" Nami snapped.
A little later on…
Luffy came out to the deck from the kitchen that was inside the ship, looking very gloomy with his head down. "We're all out of food…"
"Impossible!" Sanji said, turning around to him, with a wave of his arm. "When we were at port, we stocked up. We got plenty."
It was then Usopp came up to Luffy and whispered, "Luffy… yesterday, didn't you…"
"That's right!" Luffy remembered, lifting his head up. "Yesterday, me, Usopp, and Chopper ate it all in an eating contest, I forgot about that! Phew…" He said, wiping his forehead. "Well that's a relief. I thought for sure that someone had stolen it all." That was when Luffy and Usopp looked at Sanji, Nami, and Zoro who were not happy.
"That… is not… a relief…" Nami growled cracking her knuckles.
"Morons!" Sanji yelled.
And it pretty much ended up with Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper being beat up.
To make up for eating all the food, Luffy and Chopper were forced to fish while Usopp sat up in the Crow's Nest to search for an island, all three of them bearing swelled bruises.
Koji and I finally arrived at TokuCon and, boy, was it looking awesome! As we rode over to the parking area, we found people all wearing clothes with their favorite Tokusatsu show on it and even more people cosplaying. Of course, Koji and I had a lot of people looking at us in awe as we came riding in on our motorcycles, impressed by our "Ride Vendors."
"Looks like we're the life of the party!" Koji grinned.
"I'll say." I said as I swung my leg over my motorcycle, hopping off as I pulled my helmet off. "Now, c'mon, let's go get those VIP passes!"
"Right behind ya man!" Koji said, getting off his Ride Vendor too before following me.
Rushing inside, we made our way over to the line where people were waiting to get the VIP passes. When we got there, it turned out there were only two passes remaining. And to get them… Koji and I would need to win Kamen Rider OOO Trivia. Looking to me with a smirk, Koji said, "Dude… This is too easy. They might as well give us the passes now."
"And we both know the show like the back of our hands." I smirked.
Heading over to the booth, we learned that the two passes would go to the first two people to answer this question: "Which of OOO's Combos never had a Greeed seen to go with it?"
"Hah! Easy! BuraKaWani!" I answered.
Koji went to the other person offering the passes and said, "Simple, it's BuraKaWani!"
Both the question refs pointed to us both and said, "Correct! You two just won the last two VIP Passes to the meet–and–greet panel with the Neo–Heisei Riders!"
"Yosha!" We cheered giving each other high–fives and fist bumps.
Hopping up onto the stage, the main ref said, "What are your names, boys?"
Grinning, I answered, "Kurogasa Kururugi, and this is my buddy, Koji Shinamori."
Smiling, the ref said, "Well, congratulations to you both. And now, here to present you both with your passes, the Kamen Rider GIRLs!"
"EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?!" We both shouted in surprise.
Before we knew it, coming out from behind the curtains of the stage were the famous Kamen Rider GIRLs, the famous girls' group who sang covers of many of the Kamen Rider themes. They each came out dressed in mini dresses themed after one of the Neo–Heisei Riders.
"Oh I'm in heaven now…" Koji said dreamily.
Meanwhile, I started to blush as I saw them come strutting towards, looking like living angels. They first came over to me, handing me my pass and– OH MAN, each one of them started giving me a kiss on the cheek. I thought I was gonna faint.
"Congratulations!" they said to me with big smiles as I blushed and smiled back at them.
"Uh–uh–um, uh… Th–Thank you…" I said, scratching the back of my head. "I–I really appreciate it…"
They then walked over to Koji and did the same thing.
Of course, he was smiling the whole time, acting all cool. At one point, he even started, disco dancing for them, making them giggle flirtatiously. Man… how does he do that? When the girls walked away, he came over to me and said, "Dude… this is already the grooviest Con ever!"
"You're telling me. Now we get to see the actors!" I said excited.
Koji then grinned and said, "…And we have dates with some of the foxiest chicks in the music industry afterwards!" Reaching into his pocket, he then pulled out several sheets of paper with numbers on them and lipstick marks on them. "I got us the numbers of the Kamen Rider GIRLs!"
"NO WAY!" I gawked in surprise.
Koji grinned as he handed me half of them and said, "Who loves ya, baby!? Hug me, aibou!"
"Dude, I love ya like a bro, but I think I'll pass on the hugging." I chuckled. However, he pulled me into a hug that was more like a chokehold as he gave a playful noogie. "OOOWWW! Stop it!" Finally, I managed to push Koji off me as I said, "Okay, c'mon, let's go to the panel!"
Koji laughed as he said, "Alright, alright, I'm going, I'm going!"
So we enjoyed the day in the convention and it was really fun. We went to all kinds of booths getting a few odd and ends from them and after that we went to the panel and we were both ecstatic from seeing the actors in person and even got their autographs too.
However, by that time, it was already 1PM and Koji and I were starting to get rather hungry, so we made our way towards the food court.
"Whew! All that walking made me hungry!" Koji said.
"No kidding." I chuckled. "I don't know about you, but I'm going for some fried rice with chicken teriyaki and steam vegetables."
Koji nodded his head slightly as he said, "I think that sounds pretty good, actually. I might get the same thing."
As we continued walking, something caught my eye. I looked to my left and saw a door opened. For some reason, I felt some sort of… odd presence coming from it.
Koji turned around, while looking at me. "Hey, buddy! Something wrong?"
I snapped out from my daze before returning to reality. "Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm fine."
For some reason, that door didn't attract anyone, as if they didn't notice it at all, not even him. To make things stranger… the door… was actually calling for me…
'Help us…'
As I started to walk towards it, I then noticed Koji seemed confused. "Koji… did you hear that, too?"
"I didn't before, but… now that you mention it, I do hear something."
'Help us…'
"There it is again!" I noticed.
"And it's getting louder." Koji replied as we got closer. "Why are we the only ones hearing it?"
"I don't know, but we gotta get in there." I said.
With that, we went to and opened the door and saw a long, dark, narrow tunnel. "Whoa… talk about funky… and I don't mean the good funky, like the weird funky." Koji said.
"Yeah…" I muttered. "C'mon, let's go!" I said. Bringing only our OOO and Birth stuff, we ran in the dark hallway until seeing a light at the end. When we got to it though, what came next was something we never expected at all. A portal suddenly opened up and sucked us in!
"WOOOOOOAAAHHH!" We both shouted as we fell through the portal. As we fell down, however, I could feel myself and Koji slowly get pulled further and further away from one another.
"Koji!" I shouted as I reached out my hand, trying to grab to him.
"Kurogasa!" He shouted back, trying to grab my hand. Our fingers just grazed the tips of one another's, but we couldn't grab on. And then, we fell down two separate portals within that portal.
"KOOOOOJIIII!" I shouted as I lost sight of my best friend. And the next thing that happened, I blacked out.
Back aboard the Thousand Sunny, as he continued to fish, Luffy felt something at the end of his fishing line and began to reel it in.
"Hey! Looks like I got something!" Luffy cried out. Pulling up on his line, he found what was attached to the end of his line was a shiny blue crystal–like orb.
Meanwhile, Sanji, Nami, and Robin were talking amongst themselves. "We're about out of water now. Let's just hope we find an island where we can resupply some." Robin said.
"Yeah…" Nami sighed.
"Hey, guys, I found something! Check it out!" Luffy said as he came running over to them with the orb in hand.
"What. Did you catch something we can eat?" Sanji asked.
"No, we can't eat it, I already tried." Luffy waved off. "But it looks really neat though."
"If we can't eat it, we don't need it." Sanji waved back before walking away.
"Man, this is useless!" Usopp yelled from the Crow's Nest. "There're no islands anywhere around here!"
Luffy then said, smiling, "Maybe we just need a better vantage point. Here I go! GUM–GUM ROCKET!" Stuffing the orb into his pocket, he extended his arms to grab part of the mast of the sails and then slingshot himself into the air. Flying up in the sky, he then shouted, "HEY, ISLANDS! COME ON OUT!" Just then, looking up, Luffy gave a gasp. "AHHHH!" As he looked up, he saw a huge portal appear in the sky above him. Straight out of it, a boy came falling out of it and was heading straight towards Luffy.
"Hey, what's that?!" Nami cried out, as she pointed to the portal.
"I–I don't know!" Sanji said, slightly nervous.
"Hmmm… I think it might be fascinating." Robin said as she took out a telescope to look at it. However, she then said, "Wait… There's a boy falling out of that portal! And he's heading straight for Luffy!"
"A WHAT?!" Sanji and Nami cried out.
"Robin's right! Look!" Usopp noticed.
"He's falling down!" Chopper yelled.
"WHOA!" Luffy cried out, as he somehow dodged the boy as the latter continued falling down.
Okay, this was the weirdest day ever! Koji and I went to TokuCon enjoying the day until we heard something call for help through this door. Then we went in and suddenly got flown into this portal, separating me and Koji! I remember blacking out earlier when we went in.
Now… I suddenly found myself still falling, but now, as I looked down I saw… a pirate ship? And… OH MY GOSH, I WAS FALLING INTO THE OCEAN!
Not only that, my duffle bag was falling with me until I splashed into the ocean. The only thing worse than that… I CAN'T SWIM!
I flailed around in the water, trying to stay afloat, but the duffle bag weighed me down and I soon went underwater. I held my breath, trying not to take in water, but it was all in vain as I couldn't hold it in much longer and took in all the sea water. Was this it? Is this how I was going to die? I couldn't answer that, as I fell unconscious.
As the boy hit the water, the Straw Hats immediately went into action. Landing back on the deck of the ship, Luffy said, "We got to help that guy! He might be drowning!"
"Right!" Zoro replied, immediately walking towards the edge of the ship. "Luffy, grab hold of my shirt, and keep a tight grip! When I get the guy, pull me back in!"
"You got it!" Luffy said, his hand extending forward to grab the back of Zoro's shirt. He then looked to Nami and said, "Nami, turn the ship towards him! Bring us closer! That way, I'll be able to get him aboard the ship sooner!"
"No need for her to do that! I'm already on it!" Franky shouted, as he took the wheel. Nodding, Zoro then leapt into the water, Luffy extending his arm as Zoro swam towards the boy as fast as he could.
Up at the wheel, Franky was turning it quickly towards starboard, turning the ship that way so Zoro would have less of a trip to swim back.
"C'mon! Hurry up! Hurry up!" Chopper panicked.
"The ship's going as fast as she can!" Franky shouted.
Then, from out on the ocean, Zoro shouted, "I got him! Luffy, pull me in!"
"Right!" Luffy nodded, then pulled, but he pulled way too hard and flung Zoro, and the unconscious boy up in the air along with the duffle bag, making Zoro yell.
"AHHHH! What are you doing?!" Usopp freaked out as Zoro and the unconscious boy dropped hard to the deck of the ship along with the duffle bag.
"LUFFY!" Everyone other than Robin shouted.
"Hehe… sorry. I guess I don't know my own strength." Luffy grinned goofily.
"GEE, YOU THINK?!" The same people shouted.
As Zoro pushed himself up off the deck, he grumbled at Luffy before looking to Chopper as he said, "Alright, Doc, work your magic."
"Right." Chopper nodded, going over to the unconscious boy who was now lying prostrate. Rolling him over, he listened for breathing. When he heard none, he began pumping on the boy's stomach, trying to get the water out.
"Well? How is he?" Usopp asked.
"He's not breathing." Chopper grimaced. "One of you has to give him CPR." Looking to Nami, he said, "Can you do it? I got most of the water out of his system, but he needs a lot of air, quickly!"
"Me?! Why ME!?" Nami asked incredulously.
"PLEASE!" Chopper cried. "We need someone! And I'm sure he'd rather have a girl's lips on his than a boy's!"
Nami blushed madly at that. I mean sure, in the past, she used any means necessary to get what she wants, but this… is rather awkward for her. "Grr… fine…! But you owe me BIG time Chopper!" Nami growled.
Chopper smiled at her as he said, "Thanks, Nami!" He then hopped out of the way to let her give the boy CPR.
Nami gulped at this. "Okay… here goes…"
I could slowly feel air going back into my lungs as my eyes began to flutter open, allowing me to see the girl whose lips were against mine…
…Wait…?
…A GIRL!? HER LIPS ON MINE!?
Freaking out, I suddenly let a few bad coughs, making the girl back off, while I coughed out the rest of the water.
"Hey, it worked!" Said a guy excitedly who appeared to be maybe a year or two younger than me with a straw hat.
Meanwhile, a slightly older blonde guy looked down at the ground as he said, sadly, "I wish I could have been the one she was giving mouth to mouth to."
"Shut it, you Dartboard Brow!" A green haired guy with three swords snapped, bopping him on the head with the hilt of one of his swords.
"Whatcha say Moss Head?!" The blonde growled as the two butted heads.
"You heard me…"
The two then slammed their heads together, growling as they pushed back against one another, trying to get the edge over one another.
"Alright, you two, break it up!" said a guy with a nose like Pinocchio's, pushing the two apart.
'I get the feeling I'm not in Japan anymore…' I thought as I looked at the rather strange group before me.
"Are you… okay?" The orange haired girl who… had her lips on me asked.
"I'm… fine…" I wheezed. "Where… am I?"
The boy with the straw hat came over to me and said, "You're aboard the Thousand Sunny, the ship of the great Straw Hat Pirate Crew!"
Oh great… a pirate ship with real pirates… just my luck…
Then, extending his hand to me, the straw hat guy said, "My name's Luffy, Monkey D. Luffy! I'm the captain of this crew! What's your name?"
"Uh… Kurogasa…" I said uncertain.
"Kurogasa? That's a funny name." Luffy said with a bit of a laugh, "But I like it. Well, welcome aboard our ship! Let's get you introduced to the rest of my crew!"
"I think we can introduce ourselves just fine…" The green haired swordsman said annoyed before turning to me. "Name's Zoro. Nice to meet ya kid."
The guy with the Pinocchio nose then said, "You can call me Usopp, the best sniper on the seas!"
"I'm Sanji. The crew's chef."
Then, coming up to me was what appeared to be a… walking reindeer with a top hat and moose antlers? Extending his paw to me, he said, cheerfully, "I'm Chopper, the ship's Doctor."
AND IT CAN TALK TOO?!
"Uh… Um… Y–You can talk?" I asked, slightly nervous.
"Yes, why?"
Gulping, I said, trying not to sound offensive, "It's just that… where I'm from… bears can't talk…"
"I'm a reindeer!" Chopper huffed.
A REINDEER?!
"Oh, I guess that would explain the antlers…" I then bowed down and said, "I'm sorry about that, though reindeer can't talk where I'm from either."
"Don't worry about it." Chopper waved off.
Next one to speak was a, whoa… extremely gorgeous young woman in a purple cowboy hat. "Nico Robin, ship's archaeologist. Pleasure." she said kindly.
"Uh… yeah…" I blushed. "Nice to meet you too…"
The next guy to speak was the giant guy with a green pompadour… and was kinda… underdressed. "You can call me Franky! Shipwright for the Straw Hats! I'm the SUPER cool one of the crew!" He said, doing a strange pose.
"Heh heh…" I said, smiling awkwardly, "I don't doubt it…"
"And I'm Nami, the navigator. I'm… the one that saved your life."
I looked over to the girl now known as Nami and got my first real look at her… wow… she was beautiful… Blushing slightly, I sat up as I said, "Um… I see… thank you… for saving my life. I don't know how to thank you enough…"
"Just don't drown next time." Nami said, before glaring at Chopper, making the small reindeer flinch.
Just then, something came to my mind. "W–Wait a minute! Where's Koji!?"
"Koji?" The crew asked confused.
"My best friend. We were together until we got sucked up into this portal and got separated!"
The eight pirates looked to one another in confusion before Robin said, "I'm sorry, Kurogasa, but… you're the only one we saw fall out of that portal."
"No… Koji…" I muttered, looking down sadly.
"Hey! No worries! We'll find him!" Luffy smiled widely.
Looking up at him, I was surprised. "You–You'll help me find him? But… you guys don't even know me…"
"Anything for a friend!" Luffy grinned. "And when we find him, you and he can join our crew and I can go become King of the Pirates!" He cheered as he spread his arms up into the air.
I looked to Luffy with wide eyes. "You–You want me to join your crew!?"
"Are you sure Luffy?" Usopp asked uncertain.
Zoro nodded his head. "Yeah, we already have eight people on the ship. What could this kid do to benefit our crew?"
"Hey I'm 19, thank you very much." I huffed.
Zoro scoffed, "Congratulations."
"Maybe something in his bag would tell us." Robin said, pointing to it. Oh crap! I completely forgot about my bag! Opening up the bag, Robin started pulling out my stuff. "There's a weird belt looking thing, with some gold circular device, and a thin case… filled with three colored coins."
"WHAT?!" I gawked, scrambling over to Robin. When I looked, my eyes widened in horror. My Medajalibur, Taja Spinner, Medagabryu, and all but my Taka, Tora, and Batta Core Medals were gone! This can't be happening! "Oh man! Most of my OOO stuff is gone!"
"OOO?" The crew asked confused.
"Um… uh…" I got out. Crap… they never heard of OOO, but if I told them what it is, they'll think I'm crazy!
Before I could answer that, something in Luffy's huge pocket glowed. As the orb began to glow from within Luffy's pocket, the ship began to rock gently as the ocean seemed to become more active. "H–Hey, what's that?" Nami asked looking around the deck.
"I don't know, but I got a bad feeling about this." I said unnerved.
As the rocking grew more volatile, Chopper dropped to the deck and said, terrified, "Uh, guys… Wh–What's going on!?"
"What just happened?" Robin demanded.
"I don't know, but if this keeps up– UWHOA!" Nami cried.
"WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" Usopp cried, hugging the mast.
"WHAT?! WE'RE GONNA DIE?!" Chopper panicked.
"Hey! What the heck is that?!" Franky cried out, pointing at something.
The rest of the crew and I looked up as out of the ocean rose what appeared to be an island, all of us saying things like "No way" or "This can't be real!" And then… a huge wave washed over us and the ship. Everything went dark then as the water overcame us all.
