Chapter one- The Pirate Basilisk

Morning on the Going Merry, a truly magical thing. If by magical one
means Luffy attacking Zoro and Usopp for their food, Sanji trying to
win over Nami and Vivi, while Chopper tries to stop the 'battle for
the breakfasts'. Finally, as the Going Merry came to a gigantic cruise
liner. "Whoa," said Luffy astonished. "a cruise liner. I've never even
seen one before. It's even bigger than Crocodile and Arlong's ships
put together. I wonder how big the marine security crew on that ship
is."

The rest of Luffy's crew walked over and they began admiring the ship
sailing only about 2,000 feet ahead of them. "I have an idea, let's
board the ship and score some quick beri off of its safes." said Nami,
eyeing the gigantic ship.

"I know a way so that Nami-san can get all the beri that she so
richly deserves," said Sanji sweetly. "Usopp, knock out their
propulsion system with one of those weird bullets of yours, we'll
catch up with them, while they try to figure out what knocked out
their rudders, we sneak aboard, tie up the crew, break open the safes,
and escape with everything valuable." At this, everyone face faulted.

After everyone got up... "Well, even though this sounds ridiculous to
hear this from me, but that stupid cook's idea might actually work."
said Zoro, fingering his swords tensely. "Though, I must admit that
I'm getting bad vibes from this place. Almost as if it is only
disguised as a cruise ship and is instead a pirate ship of some sort."

Luffy looked at the ship, and then said, "Nope. Definitely not a
pirate ship. Well let's board. Usopp?" Usopp fired once at the main
rudder, breaking all of the rotation mechanisms simultaneously. A few
minutes later, the Going Merry caught up with the cruise ship. That
was when they saw the name of the ship, 'S.S. Arcain'. - Cool name
-thought Luffy.

Aboard the Arcain, its inhabitants were waking up from their ship,
having suddenly stopped. One such inhabitant was busy trying to fall
back to sleep while trying to get the ship's mechanic to fix the
ship's propulsion rudders. As the crew ran up to the main deck, they
caught sight of Luffy and his crew, sent someone down for the captain.
As the person, Leonard, arrived at the captain's quarters, he saw his
intrepid captain sleeping. "Yo, captain, we're under attack!" yelled
Leon. Nothing. "Cap'n, Pirates!"... "Hunters are attacking!"...
"Sapphire Stone's here!"

"Where?!" yelled the captain. "Where is she?" He looked around the
room wildly only to see that it was empty, save for Leon and himself.
"Leon, how many times must I tell you never to go there unless
Sapphire is truly here... now, what is it?"

"Well, Mon Capitan, we are being invaded by human teenagers, from a
pirate ship. It has a jolly roger an' everything."

"Crap."

"I know..."

"Then let's go!"

As the two raced to the deck, the captain grabbed his halberd.
Upon reaching the top, they saw Sanji trying to break down a door.
"Freeze," said the captain, Ki as he pointed his halberd at Sanji. "Or
you shall be forced to face my icy wrath!"

"I'll take you out right now, you puny little ass-hole kid!" yelled
Sanji, as he ran towards Ki. "Eat my foot!"

Ki yawned, and as Sanji neared, he yelled out, 'Vorpaul Slice!', as
he slashed a diagonal line through the air. Sanji continued charging,
until he flew back from a sharp blast of 'Devil Energy'.

There's no friggin' way," muttered Sanji as he slipped into
unconsciousness. All of the Straw Hat crew looked on in utter
amazement.

"Still wanna stay, pirate punks?" laughed Ki. That was when the Straw
Hat crew saw that this boy was not human. He had long blood red rat-
tails that were twitching furiously, pointed elfin ears, light red
pupils, a tail, and dragon's feet. "Heh. Ya ain't leaving; guess that
means that you wish to battle my crew of pirates, eh?"

"You're pirates?" said Nami incredulously. "Well, if that's the case,
I'll just have to defeat you all!"

"Then can we at least battle tournament-style, as in one-on-one
matches amongst an even number of fighters each. Which ever crew wins
the most fights is declared the winners of the battle." Said one of
the pirates, he had two giant metallic volleyballs with handles and a
spike produced from the opposite side.
