GET LUFFY


After the harrowing events they had just been through, the Straw Hats and the Heart pirates have decided to rest for a while – hopefully in a relatively safe island in the New World which are quite rare. So after hours of consulting maps, trading information and looking at the three-needled log pose, Nami decided that the island to their east would be a good place to spend a day to cool down.

Being at the eye of the storm is a very stressful business.

However, they did not expect the island to be covered with a mysterious hazy shield of an equally mysterious origin. Neither any of the Heart Pirates including their captain nor any of the Straw Hats had any idea what it could be. Yes, not even Nico Robin. What they knew was that it was impossible to enter it through normal means.

The Straw Hat captain had attempted to catapult himself earlier but simply bounced back to the ship's grassy deck. Thus it was a cause for dismay since their supplies were running low, and both the ship and the submarine needed maintenance. They were hoping to resupply at the supposed safe island.

That was until Zoro tried to cut the barrier with his haki imbued Sandai Kitetsu.

Though not even the might of the Straw Hat's Pirate Hunter was able to shatter whatever it was, his sword was able to slip through. After trying a couple of other methods and also with other alliance members, they found out that the only way to enter the island was to coat yourself with some armament haki else you'll just be repelled by the shield.

So it was decided that three Straw Hat pirates and one Heart pirate were to scout the island and bring back supplies.

After a while of walking and seeing nothing but big old trees, Luffy got bored and started to sing.

"First verse!" Luffy swayed the stick on his hand. "The islands in the south are warm. Paina purupuru, their heads get really hot. And they're all idiots!"

The four split up earlier to cover more distance. The swordsman and the cook went to the west where the forest seem less dense while the two captains went to the other side. While Sanji and Law could have gone alone for the task, they couldn't just let Zoro get lost yet again nor Luffy be out of sight and cause unnecessary trouble as well. They couldn't also keep them on the ship as the island already piqued the two's interest.

"Second verse!" Luffy cleared his throat a little and continued to sing. "The islands in the north are cold. Hyakkoikoikoi, their heads shiver all around. And they're all idiots!"

Law almost smirked as he spoke. "What kind of song is that, Mugiwara-ya?"

The Heart pirates' captain didn't really want to bother the other but the song was silly. Not that he wanted to point out that the people of the North aren't all idiots. Though there were times he did shiver with the cold thus the fuzzy hat on his head. Still it was a pretty stupid song – not amusing or entertaining at all, especially not because Mugiwara-ya was singing. He mentally insisted to himself.

They heard several twigs snap at a short distance.

"Third –"

"Mugiwara-ya…" Law hissed as he instantaneously covered the other's mouth with his tattooed hand.

The captains focused their gaze to the violently shaking bushes before them. Law's hand now placed itself to his Kikoku's hilt. Then something dashed out towards the two making the surgeon activate his room and slice it by instinct.

It was a haki imbued pig. And Law was a little disturbed – just a little.

"Torao! Shishishishishi!" The Straw Hat captain happily yelled at Law as he was swept away by a number of unusually fast and armament covered apes.

What the…

"Mugiwara-ya!" Law was getting annoyed by the minute.

He knew Luffy could get away and not waste time if he wanted but the fool chose to be taken by damn monkeys. Before he could air his complaint, a bunch of chimpanzees attacked him. They were a little stronger than fodder but for a former warlord such as himself, their attacks barely made him sweat. It was just they were irritatingly many and noisy, grinning at him like a certain idiot.

I'll teach him a lesson later.

The island is officially strange in his book. First, he wondered why all these animals in the wild were all haki-enabled. Another thing he noticed was that the animals were wearing similarly styled tribal necklaces on their necks. Now that he mentioned it, some of them even have tattoos on.

What the hell is this?

He managed to take down every single animal who attacked him. They all laid unconscious by his feet. Then they started turning back into humans but their animal ears and tails remained. All of them had pallid skins.

Are they all Zoans? Impossible.

There were too many of them and some were even of the same animal type. They could have taken an artificial devil fruit. But how could they obtain something like the SMILEs and why were they in need of it, he wondered. Was this one of Kaido's territory? Or any of Joker's former clients?

So many questions rang in his head but what he needed to do now is find the Straw Hat captain. He was about to use his means to search when two familiar pirates found him.

"So where's Luffy? The Pirate Hunter asked upon noticing the apparent lack of Luffy within fifteen meters around the Surgeon of Death and the abundance of strange unconscious bodies on the ground.

"The monkeys took him." Law deadpanned.

"The monkeys took him?" Sanji repeated. "But you were here."

"So?"

The cook side-eyed the other captain. "You were supposed to not let him go with the monkeys!"

"Mugiwara-ya can go wherever he wants."

"One couldn't stop Luffy anyway." Zoro stated making Sanji sigh. "Ugh, now we have to look for him."

So the three walked deeper into the forest, trying to figure out why the Zoan-like people attacked them and how they existed in the first place. They attempted to use their observation haki to locate the rubber captain but the mysterious island seems to have weakened their range in some way.

Then they saw huge slab with some sort of coded message on it.

The swordsman walked over it. "Is this one of those poneglyphs?" He asked to no one in particular as he looked the stone over. A smaller message inscribed at the side caught his attention. Written was an inconspicuous 'Use this at your time of need'. It sounded foreboding.

Upon closer inspection and a bit of time glaring at the unmoving piece of stone, they realized that it was just the regular letters turned sideways and can be read from right to left. However, it didn't make any sense as it was more like words randomly strewn together, not even forming any decent phrases.

So they wrote it on a sheet of paper and glared – rather analyzed it some more. It didn't take long for them to figure out that if they took the second letter of each word and group them accordingly, they can extract a somewhat sensible paragraph out of it.

"Like the legend of the Phoenix, all ends with beginnings. What keeps the planets spinning,the force from the beginning..." Sanji read.

"The legend of the phoenix?" Zoro looked curious. "Will there be a mythical creature here?" The swordsman flashed his infamous shark grin in anticipation. However, it died down as he saw the two other burrowing their eyebrows in confusion.

Sanji absently murmured. "This sounds familiar."

"I initially thought it was related to a former Whitebeard pirates commander's devil fruit. Then again... hmm" Law mused.

"What do you mean?" The swordsman asked the two, puzzled by their shared confusion.

"We're not yet sure but it seems really familiar – these sayings…"

"Anyway, let's just move and look for Mugiwara-ya. He's where it's noisiest, right?" Law stood and walked ahead.

The two Straw Hats grinned. The allied captain had the rubber man's tendencies already noted. They followed the briskly walking Surgeon of Death to the newfound source of noise. It dangerously sounded like a party.

When they reached the clearing, they were met with a sight of a dozen houses made of straws, and easily more than dozen Zoan-like men and women clad in barely anything dancing around the bonfire. Behind it was a stage which, in the center, had a big statue of a half-monkey, half-human deity which oddly resembled someone they knew – someone they have been looking for. And that someone was squirming at the statue's lap.

The villagers halted their merry-making as soon as someone spotted the three gaping at the sidelines.

Warriors – or the natives with the weapons and looked like they want to rip someone right there and then, those sort of people – went forward and posed in a battle stance. Their bodies were starting to be coated with haki. They were about to attack when an important looking old man with a long braided beard and intricate head dress holding an equally important looking staff came with a smiling little girl by his side.

The warriors ceased their actions.

"I am the village chief." The little girl spoke and went forward. "What brings you here, strangers?"

They should have known that the little lady was the village chief. After all, she is the only one with an afro among the rest of them. The afro is a symbol of power – one can never go wrong with it. Sanji should have known that from that start at least.

"We mean no harm, Madame. We only wish to retrieve our friend over there." Sanji spoke for the three of them. He wished the chief was reasonable enough. If they're lucky, they could get out of there without any trouble. "Oi, Zoro, Sanji – Torao!" Luffy finally noticed them and bounced happily until he slumped down again. "Ugh, I feel weak."

"The highest and most honorable deity does not allow the request made. You may now leave and take any of what the forest offers as the deity is willing to provide."

Law has had enough of the intermission. The Straw Hat captain suspiciously looked trapped at the weird ass stone. He started to make a room but he was surprised with the difficulty he's having with just creating one.

What the hell?

He suspects the smoke from the bonfire has something to do with it. Thinking about it, the stones and the powders at the foot of the fire looked achingly familiar. Sanji continued to negotiate with the village chief.

Zoro apparently has had enough of waiting too and drew his sword. The warriors gripped their spears and drew their fangs – at least those who have some.

"That's enough!" The village chief shouted then she calmly spoke. "We understand your concerns but you must understand us. The human you speak of is the fated vessel of our deity for this festival. We cannot give him back to you unless you duel him from us."

The swordsman grinned. "So it all comes to fighting then." The cook and the surgeon had begun to prepare for battle as well. Zoro and Law had their hands on their swords whereas Sanji lifted a scorched foot.

"It shall be done in a traditional battle of our tribe." The village chief proclaimed to which some of the villagers gasped and some cheered.

Apprehensive, Sanji cautiously asked. "How does this traditional battle go?"


"Ladies and Gentlemen! And not-so-friendly friends!" The announcer winked at the three pirates who simply glared at the enthusiastic man. "…Eek" He squeaked audibly and became flustered. But he scolded himself for not acting like a pro and composed himself.

"I'm Hatz, your undying commentator and here we are at the greatest battle that will ever be fought at the face of this island. That's right, folks! Whatever you're doing, just drop it and witness these guys pull some moves and some grooves. Tonight will be the ultimate song & dance showdown: The undefeated MeisterUse dance crew vs The StrawHearts! Give it up for these warriors y'all!" He boomed at his golden microphone.

On one side, the local MeisterUse dancers flexed their body and showed off some complicated steps. They wore futuristic outfits which made the pirates wonder where they fucking got those from when everyone was practically naked.

One of them, a flamboyant blonde native strut forward and said. "Don't let me interrupt this grand meeting of the mediocre." It seems to be some sort of tradition as two others walked over at the StrawHearts side of the ring soon after.

"Yo, yo! Listen up. Don't hate – appreciate!" said another member who had a mixed neon colored jumpsuit.

"Yeah, I'd be nervous, too. We're pretty imposing." Provoked the shortest of the three whose style is more street.

The StrawHearts looked at each other, silently wondering what that was all about. Had this been a regular brawl – they'd have no worries. But they had to be careful because they weren't sure how to free Luffy from his invisible cage.

The village chief promised to release the rubber captain if they won. And the judge will be the statue which apparently can detect the dance's awesomeness for some reason – and by the village chief's word, she promised it was fair. They had to take her word for that. If anything goes wrong, they can always fight their way out.

Screw that – the StrawHearts will leave a miracle in their wake. After all, they developed and practiced their ultimate stratagem the whole afternoon until a few minutes before midnight. If looks could kill, their smirking faces definitely intimidated the other team.

"Go everyone! Beat their asses!" Luffy excitedly cheered. Some of the villagers peered at their possibly new deity vessel with disapproval.

Then the music started to blare from the speaker Den Den Mushi. The StrawHearts stepped back a little as their opponents' started singing and dancing. Zoro still felt uncomfortable without his haramaki. He had to change his attire so he can dance better and he'd fit with the theme. And he also had to wear glasses – Sanji said it was for flair. So he just tried to focus and remember what the other two told and taught him earlier.

"Listen, I noticed another slab at the other end of the village similar to what we've seen earlier. It confirms what we thought earlier." Sanji spoke in a serious tone.

Law's eyes widened. "You mean… "

"Yeah, it's a song from South Blue but had become popular back at North Blue. Look at this…" In the cook's palm was a worn-out TD. "This should still work."

"No shit. Where'd you get that?"

"Remember the old man with the head dress – he noticed me looking at the slab. Gave me this. He said that the song was like a prayer to their deity." Law raised an eyebrow. "Don't ask me. Everything's pretty much thrown here. So I figured we should tell them exactly what we want through the shitty prayer. The key to winning the battle is having a stronger will."

"If that's how it is, then we might be able to win. I'm thinking it was put there for a reason. Use it in the time of need, right?"

"Right…"

"So what are we doing?" Zoro finally asked.

"We're going to teach you something we picked up back in North Blue."

The crowd cheered loudly for their local favorites who had just finished their spectacular display. But the village chief looked a little displeased and they knew why. The MeisterUse weren't serious about it, they didn't put their all as they underestimated their opponent. The StrawHearts are going to prove them wrong – they aren't one to be trifled with.

"Have you seen that folks? That's what you call PERFECTION! But don't leave so soon – we still got the StrawHearts looking all chic in black ready to show you what they've got. Play the music now, DJ!"

Law, Sanji and Zoro took to the center stage, small dials by their chin as their microphone. As soon as the music started playing, they started to hum some woooh-hoohoo's and paced slowly with the groove. Hands and legs moving roughly in unison. The surgeon started to sing with his silky voice.

"Like the legend of the Phoenix, all ends with beginnings. What keeps the planets spinning, the force from the beginning. Aaahh..."

Neither too fast nor too flashy, their steps were smooth and fluid. The people wanted to ignore them but eventually had become entranced at the rhythm of their moving limbs. Zoro and Sanji belted a duet in falsetto as Law hummed. "We've come too far to give up who we want, so let's raise the bar and our swords to the stars.

Even their opponents, stared at them at disbelief. They looked like they knew what they were doing, steps executed with impeccable timing. Law went solo with the chorus as Zoro and Sanji lulled the captivated natives with their back-up vocals. "He's up all night till the sun, I'm up all night to get the sun. He's up all night for good fun, I'm up all night to get Luffy."

The Straw Hat captain couldn't believe what he was seeing. He didn't know Zoro and Sanji could move like that – especially Torao. They look really good dancing. He briefly wondered why they had glasses though. The three of them continued to move in unison and sang the chorus together. "We're up all night till the sun, we're up all night to get the sun. We're up all night for good fun, we're up all night to get Luffy."

Most of the natives have started dancing at this point. It didn't feel like a battle anymore. It went back to a party. The three raised and swayed their arms, tapping their feet along with the beat, as they continued to sing.

The Surgeon of Death and former Warlord already shut his mind ever since the whole stunt started. He wasn't even sure why in the flying fuck everything has come to this. If Cora-san could see him right now – he'd rather not. Sure, the man's great and all but that blonde will definitely coo and gush at him. He was the one who first introduced this stupid song in the first place. He sang another solo, the lilt of his voice huskier.

He was getting into it – the three of them are getting into it. Their movements were becoming more intricate and their steps were becoming groovier. Zoro and Sanji repeated their duet in falsetto as Law hummed some tones. They had fierceness oozing at their presence.

As Law began to sing his solo in the chorus, he directed his searing gaze to the Straw Hat captain who stared back at him with the same intensity. Flames crackled at the instant their heated eye contact begun.

Zoro and Sanji eventually joined the Heart pirates' captain in singing.

Then they stilled for a moment and rocked a few robo-moves that would have made Franky and Usopp proud. "We're up all night to get...We're up all night to get..."

Sanji felt proud with what they – mostly, him – had come up in such a short notice. While he was still a little bit worried about screwing something up, the engaged spectators raised his confidence. And even Zoro had yet to dance in the wrong direction.

Though, the mosshead did stare at him most of the time through his darker tinted shades. He wasn't completely sure but he felt it. He shook the thoughts away by swaying his hips. Okay, so maybe Law didn't have to wink but he did, causing the Straw Hat captain to get a little flustered.

Dancing in unison, the newfound StrawHeart dance crew sang the the last lines with equal fervor. They've literally been up all night to save their shitty captain, quoting Sanji. It was the last part of the song – they can do this. "...We're up all night to get Luffy"

The shrill sound of the statue's awesomeness meter filling up to the brim freed the boy with a straw hat from his invisible cage.


"So that's why you took so long to get the supplies, huh?" Nami crossed her hands over her chest and looked at her captain with disbelief and sighed. "I guess it was nice that you only slept the whole time but you guys should have returned earlier."

"But Nami! I'm telling you it wasn't a dream! Zoro, Sanji and Tora –"Law's hand smacking Luffy's mouth and dragging the poor captain closer to him halted Luffy's whines. Nami raised an eyebrow.

"Mugiwara-ya, come on. There's something I wish to discuss with you about the implications of the actions we just did to the New World." The Surgeon of Death continued to drag Luffy to the figure head while the Straw Hat cook and swordsman looked anywhere but Luffy and nervously went on their task.

"But we've talked about that before – "Luffy's words were muffled against the other captain's hands. He eventually stopped squirming and simply flashed his grin. He'll have them show those awesome dance moves the next time they have a party.

After loading some supplies from the island, the Straw Hat and the Heart Pirates left the island, off to a new adventure in the New World. As for the mystery of the island, they never fully uncovered it. They were too wasted celebrating their victory to ask.
