Summary- It's Halloween, and the Straw Hats are enjoying the festivities with costumes and treats…until a mysterious force poses a challenge. (Post time-skip. Contains Luffy/Nami)
Ch. 1- The Festive Mood
It was a dark, dark night in the New World, and not just any night. It was Halloween, the holiday where all things creepy and scary come out to play.
It is here, at Pumpkin Island, that the story shall take place.
The Thousand Sunny, home of the notorious Straw Hat Pirates, had docked at the island's shore. On the deck, it is revealed that the ship had been decorated for the holiday. Jack-o-lanterns were set up near the railing, as well as orange, purple, green, and black streamers above the doors. Spider and bat ornaments were also hung up.
"C'mon, everybody! Let's get a move on! Halloween only comes once a year, remember!"
Nami sat on the rail, impatiently waiting for the rest of the crew to come out on deck with their costumes. The navigator herself was dressed a black witch's cat, complete with the triangular ears and long tail. Her costume seemed a bit kinky, due to the fact that it revealed some of cleavage, as well as her back.
"Guys, c'mon!" Nami called. "I'm not waiting forever.
"We're coming!"
Out of the men's quarters came Usopp, dressed up like a little marionette puppet with a little red feather in his hat and a pair of overalls.
"Finally," Nami said. "Will the others be out, soon?"
"Uh-huh," Usopp replied.
"So what are you dressed as?" asked Nami.
"Can't you tell?" Usopp asked her. "I'm Pinocchio!"
"Pinocchio, huh?" Nami repeated. "Kind of suits you."
"Thanks!"
At that moment, Tony-Tony Chopper exited the men's quarters, wearing a black suit and tie.
"And who are you supposed to be, Chopper?" asked Nami.
"I'm Dr. Jekyll!" Chopper answered.
"Ooh~!" Nami shuddered in a cute tone. "Does that mean you're gonna turn into Mr. Hyde?"
"Nope!" Chopper replied. "No transforming tonight!"
"Oh, that's too bad. I'd love to see that little monstrous side, once in a while, doctor."
Nami, Usopp, and Chopper looked up to see Nico Robin coming out of the women's quarters. She wore two masks, one on each side of her face. On her back were two more arms, for once not produced by her Devil Fruit powers.
"So what are you supposed to be, Robin?" asked Nami.
"I'm Asura," Robin answered, "the Demon God…or 'Goddess' in my case."
"I think it suits someone like you, Robin," commented Usopp.
"Thank you, Long-Nose," said Robin.
"Do I really have to where this stupid thing?" came the voice of a certain disgruntled swordsman.
Roronoa Zoro was wearing his green robe and red sash, but over his face was a type of mask that looked like an angry old man with a long nose.
"Oh, c'mon, Zoro," said Nami. "Tengu are considered demons, and that's pretty much what you are!"
"Shut it, witch!" Zoro snapped. "I never even volunteered for this thing! I'm just doing it because Luffy wants us to!"
"Hey! Don't you go talking to Nami like that, Moss-head!"
Everyone looked up to see Sanji exiting from the galley, wearing a suit of shimmering armor, complete with sword and shield.
"Fear not, Nami, my sweet!" Sanji declared. "I, Sanji, your brave knight, has come to protect you from the horrible Moss-head demon!"
"Oh, quit putting on the act, Dartboard!" Zoro barked.
"You looking for a fight, hack-swordsman?"
"So what if I am, love machine?"
"Alright, alright, you two!" Nami called. "Enough bickering! Now where are Luffy, Franky, Blizzard, and Brook?"
"OW! Did somebody say my name?"
Out from the hatch on the deck came Franky, dressed in his usual outfit, only with green makeup on, as well as black drawn on stitches, like some sort of hodgepodge creature. Following behind him was Brook.
"Nice Frankenstein costume, Franky!" Nami complimented.
"I'll say!" Franky said before he struck his usual pose. "SUPER creepy, don't you think?"
"Hey, Brook," said Usopp. "Why aren't you dressed up?"
"Yo-ho-ho-ho-ho!" Brook chortled. "Well, I don't see any reason to dress up on this particular, seeing as how I am already a skeleton! People will just see it as regular costume!"
"Clever," Nami said. "Now, we just have to wait for Luffy and Blizzard to show up, and then we can go."
Just then, the navigator felt a shadow looming over her, giving her an eerie sense of danger. She looked back and saw a familiar white wolf-dog, a blood red scarf tied around his neck, as well as a black cape. Atop him, another familiar figure, wearing a straw hat. The rest of his features were hidden behind his cape, as well, until he removed it from his face and made a loud hissing sound, exposing his fake fangs.
Nami only smiled at them.
"Nice vampire costumes, boys," she said.
"Thanks!" Luffy said as he dismounted Blizzard. "You're not so bad, yourself, Nami! You look very cute as a kitty!"
"Well, I guess I put new meaning in 'Cat Burglar' Nami, don't I?" questioned Nami before she let out a playful 'meow', much to Luffy's adoration.
"Oh, man, I'm so psyched!" Luffy said. "Halloween is the best holiday of the year, besides Thanksgiving and Christmas!"
"Hey, Luffy," said Zoro. "Do I really have to wear this? And aren't we all a little old to be trick-or-treating?"
"Oh, c'mon, Zoro!" Luffy complained. "Get into the festive mood! Halloween is the one night of the year where you get free candy and treats and stuff!"
"They'll probably have cotton candy!" Chopper said.
"And taffy!" Usopp added.
Woof! Woof! Blizzard barked.
And peanut butter balls! the horse-sized wolf-dog thought.
"I'm getting hungry, just thinking about it!" Luffy exclaimed.
GRRUUUUUUUMMBLE! His stomach gave a lurching growl, making him grin sheepishly.
"See what I mean?" he asked.
"Well, what are we doing here?" Usopp questioned. "Let's go, already!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Luffy chanted, excitedly. "Let's GO!"
With that being said, the Straw Hats disembarked from the Sunny with bags and buckets in hand, prepared to do some trick-or-treating.
Little did they know that they were being watched.
A little Halloween fanfic! Pretty sweet, huh?
