Pirates!
Emma's POV
I walked through the streets lined with shops and salespeople, looking for anything that would point me towards the others. I had woken up in tennis shoes, ripped flair jeans, a purple t shirt with a panda head on it that read in big green letters 'PANDAMAN', and my necklace. I managed to grab my bag before getting sucked into the portal. The bag had changed into a white shoulder bag covered in multicolored peace signs. Like Jackie, my necklace was leading me somewhere, too. I turned a corner and walked into an alley. Suddenly my necklace swung around and pointed to a large treasure chest. I knelt down and looked at it.
"Emma!" Jackie ran down the alley.
"Jackie!" I said. "You ok?"
"Yeah. My necklace led me here."
"Mine too!"
"There must be something important here, then."
"I found a-" Suddenly a snore made us jump. Kelly was asleep behind some barrels next to us.
"She hasn't even woken up yet?" I said.
"Hey Kelly!" Jackie poked her. "Kelly... Kelly..."
Kelly grumbled and turned over.
"KELLY!"
"Go 'way..." She said.
"Hey! Sleepy head!"
"NANI O?" She sat up and accidentally knocked a barrel over. She jumped and looked at us.
"How long do you plan on sleeping?" Jackie said.
Kelly stared at us. "What..."
"Hey there." I smiled at her.
When Kelly calmed down, we explained what was happening.
"So you've done this before."
"Yeah."
"In a different anime."
"Uh-huh."
"And that whole forest thing wasn't a dream."
"Yeah."
"And you two have powers."
"Maybe." Jackie said. "This is a different anime, so..."
"I see..." Kelly crossed her arms.
"You don't have to believe us."
"No, no, I believe you. I just can't believe this whole thing is happening."
"That's right!" I said. "As I was saying, my necklace led me to this chest over here." I dragged it over and showed them.
"It's pretty big." Kelly said.
"What's in it?" Jackie asked.
"Dunno." I knelt down and looked at the lock. It was rusted, so I easily broke it off and opened the lid. Inside was the one of the biggest swords I had ever seen. It was over four feet long and was put in the chest at an angle because it couldn't fit in normally. There was also a spear that folded in half, connected by a chain. A smaller chest sat in the corner. Jackie picked up the smaller chest.
"Look at all of this!" Kelly said, trying to pick up the big sword.
I picked up the spear.
Jackie gasped. "That's..."
"It's your Zanpakuto!" I said.
"What's that?" Kelly asked.
"It's the weapon I used in the last anime we went in to." Jackie said.
"I remember that!" Kelly exclaimed. "Can't that, like, spew fire or something?"
Jackie took it and gave me the smaller chest. She snapped it together and twirled it. She stopped it and suddenly a plume of fire came out the bladed end.
"Yeah." I said. "Or something..."
Jackie found some rope in the alley and used that to hang it on her back.
"What's in this chest?" I asked, looking at it.
"I can't open it, the lock is really weird."
"Maybe if we find the others, we can open it." Kelly said.
"Where would they be?" I asked.
"Maybe... I know Luffy will go to a restaurant." Jackie said. "Maybe they followed him."
"I saw a restaurant earlier!" I said.
We left the giant sword in the chest and closed it. I led them to the restaurant and went inside.
"There's Luffy." I said quietly. He was at the bar with Ussop and Nami, eating, as usual.
"We can't very well just go up to him, right?" Jackie said.
Kelly gasped. "There they are!" Right next to the door, Gabby and Saffron were talking. We ran over and sat down.
"There you are!" Jackie said.
"Hey!" Gabby said.
"You found us!" Saffron said.
"Yeah." I said. "Oh... we kinda told Kelly everything."
"Same here." Gabby said.
I looked at Saffron. She nodded. "So do you know which anime this is?"
"One Piece." I said. "I've actually been totally addicted to it lately."
"That pirate one, right?" Gabby said.
Jackie nodded. "I've only watched like 250 episodes or so."
"I've watched and read them all!" I said. "And I know more about it than Bleach!"
"Wow." Gabby said. "That's a little scary."
"The problem with One Piece is that it's an entirely different world." Jackie said. "If we get caught, we can't just say it's an anime. I don't even think they have TV."
A waitress came up to the table to take our order. I put the box on the table and examined it.
"Could I just have a glass of water?" Jackie said.
"Sure thing." She said cheerfully. "Anything else?"
Everyone shook their heads. Saffron tossed the waitress a Beli and she left.
"What's that?" Saffron pointed to the chest.
"We found it, but we can't open it." Jackie looked at the lock. "It doesn't look like a normal lock."
"Let me see." Gabby said. She looked at the lock. "Maybe..." She took her necklace and inserted the stone into the key hole. "It works!" The lock popped open. Gabby lifted the lid. "What're these?"
I looked over into the chest and gasped. Inside were three devil fruits. I turned the chest toward me and stared at them.
"Aren't those..." Jackie said.
"Yeah. Devil fruits."
"What's a devil fruit?" Kelly asked.
"Shh! Not so loud." Jackie said. "Devil fruits are mysterious fruits in One Piece. They give the person who eats them a power. They're real rare and I bet some people in this place would kill for one."
"Power?"
"Yeah, like... the Gomu Gomu fruit lets you stretch your body like rubber." I said. "The Hiso Hiso fruit lets you talk to animals."
"Well? What are we waiting for, let's eat one!" Saffron said.
"Wait!" I stopped her. "The fruit gives you powers, but we can't predict which ones. You could get some lame one, like... being able to turn into a giraffe. Also, if you eat one, you can't swim."
"I like giraffes..." Saffron grumbled.
"Ever. Again." Jackie put in. "Our Shinigami powers followed us to our world, so these should too."
"We won't be able to swim when we go back?" Kelly said.
"Not necessarily." The waitress set the water down on our table. When she came before, I was too busy looking at the lock to pay much attention.
"Ah!" I pointed at her. "I-i-i-it's you!"
She had long wavy hair, stormy gray eyes, and wore a small purple tank top and purple bell bottom jeans.
"Do you know her?" Gabby asked.
She just smiled at me. "I'd say what you've got there are the Tobu Tobu, Egaku Egaku, and Mizu Mizu fruits." She pointed to each fruit as she named them. "As you know, when a fruit user dies, the same fruit will appear somewhere else. So, when you leave here, the fruits will appear again somewhere else."
"So we'll die?" Jackie exclaimed.
She laughed. "No, when you die you leave this world, right? So when you go back to your world, it'll be the same thing."
"Thanks..." Jackie said. "But how did you know that we aren't-?"
"Umi!" A little girl ran up to the woman and tugged on her hand. "Umi! Pirates are here!"
She winked at me. "That's your cue. Make your choice soon, and good luck!" The little girl led her away and everyone looked at me.
"Who was that?" Gabby asked.
"That was my Zanpakuto spirit!" I exclaimed. "Areta Umi!"
"What?" Jackie exclaimed.
"That explains why she knew about all this." Gabby said.
"What's a Zanpakuto spirit?" Kelly asked.
"They're a Shinigami's Zanpakuto, they help them unlock their Zanpakuto's powers. I almost didn't recognize her at first, since she was so cheery." I said.
"So the devil fruits." Jackie said. "I guess this one," She held up the Tobu Tobu fruit, which, like all devil fruits, had a swirly pattern. It was white, shaped like an egg, with a golden stem spiraling off the top. "can make you fly. This," She held up the Egaku Egaku fruit, which was a gray carrot shape with a black stem, "has something to do with drawing. And this," She held up the Mizu Mizu fruit, which was a blue apple shape, "Lets you control water."
"But that's not possible." I said. "Water is a devil fruit's weakness, how can it be water?"
"... well it has something to do with water."
"But it's not possible! That's why there hasn't been any fruits like that." I felt myself going into a bit of a fangirl mode.
Suddenly there was gunfire outside and a man stumbled in.
"P-pirates..." He said before collapsing.
