A door that will lead anyone to a distant place, never to be heard from again. The Strawhat crew were somehow able to survive through the door of darkness, but it seemed to have lead them somewhere far away from home. Robin explained to the crew of the door that appears every thousand years to take any unsuspected guests to anywhere around the universe. Will the Strawhats be able to go back to their home planet or will they be stuck in a planet for all eternity.

Chapter 3: A surprise welcoming party, Peach's Invitation

"Oi Usopp, are we there yet?" Luffy asked.

"Can't you wait for three minutes? We're almost there." Usopp said.

"But I want to get their nowww." Luffy moans.

"Why do you want to go their now Luffy?" Chopper asked.

"Well, we are in another world right? So, I want to see what kind of weird people we are going to meet." Luffy said with a big smile.

"Ohh."

"-sigh-...You and your stupid imagination." Nami said, who just joined the conversation.

"What do you mean?" Luffy asked.

"We're not in another world. We were just having a stupid dream." Nami pointed out.

"How can it be a dream if we were all awake?" Luffy asked.

"Tsk...fine, it was a mirage, a big, scary mirage, Okay!?" Nami said before she stomped out away.

"Luffy, what Nami just said was true?" Chopper asked with a sad look.

"Of course not. We are in another world! And who knows, we might meet bug eye people who are over ten feet tall." said Luffy with a big grin.

"Over ten feet tall? COOL!" Chopper said excitedly.

Nami went into the kitchen and sat down on a chair. "Sanji-kun, you know that we are not in another world, right?" Nami asked in a flirtatious way.

"Of course, Nami-san, you are always right!" Sanji said with hearts in his eyes.

"Good, finally someone understands that going into other planets by just going through giant, abnormal doors is completely illogical." Nami sighed in relief.

"I don't know, Nami-san, maybe it is possible after all." Sanji said as he was cleaning some dishes.

Nami was curious on why he just said that, so she asked him, "Why do you think that? You just agreed with me a little while ago."

"Well, Nami-san, now that I think about it, we were in the Grand Line when that happened and anything unexpected can happen in the Grand Line." Sanji said as he finished cleaning his last dish.

"Well, fine! Believe what you want, you idiot!" Nami said before she left the kitchen angrily.

"NAMI-SAAAAAAN, PLEASE DON'T LEAVE LIKE THAT!" Sanji cried. He then opened the refrigerator with a lock and took out a popsicle. "NAMI-SAAAAAAAAN, HERE IS A POPSICLE. DON'T BE ANGRY ANYMORE. NAMI-SAAAAAAN!" Sanji cried. But it was too late, Nami already left. Sanji then lowered his head in shame and went back to the kitchen.

Zoro was looking at his sword Yubashi, which is now unusable due to a battle with a captain at Enies Lobby. As everyone would know, Zoro uses a Santoryu sword style, and now that one of his swords is destroyed, he feels less secured and unable to do his full potential in battle. "Hmm...I wonder if that place has any good swords or any swords for that matter." Zoro thought to himself.

Franky was checking around the storage to see if he has any cola left. Franky then opened a box and saw empty bottles of cola. This made Franky angry and he stormed off the storage room to face everybody. "Oi, who was the idiot who drank all the cola!?" Franky shouted loud enough so everybody could hear him.

"Hmm..oh, I drank it all." Luffy said with a wide grin.

Franky then approached Luffy and said "We just left Water 7 two days ago and you drank the entire 4 month supply of cola!?".

"Well... I think it was about yesterday at midnight." Luffy said as he started to remember what happened yesterday.

FLASHBACK

Luffy woke up and he was hungry. So he went to the kitchen to get something to eat, but it's locked. Luffy was so hungry, he could eat anything. "Maaaahhhhh, I am huuuunnnngrrrryyy!" Luffy said. He then saw something round near Usopp's workstation. He thought it was a little grape. Even though its little, it was still food. "FOOD!" said Luffy excitedly as he grabbed the grape and ate it, "Mmmmmmmmmmm, that was good." Luffy said all satisfied. Luffy then started to feel warm all around his body, especially in his mouth. He then started to feel as if he was on fire. All of sudden, flames started to come out of his mouth.

"HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTT!" Luffy shouted as he was running all over the place. What he thought was grape that he eaten was actually one of Usopp's Tabasco boshi's.

Luffy ran all over the place screaming for water, but surprisingly, nobody woke up from the ruckus. They were so asleep that nothing can wake them up. Luffy then ran into the storage room to find anything to stop the flames coming from his mouth. He then opened a box that had a lot of colas in it, and started to drink every single bottle of cola until the flames died down.

"AHHHHHHHH, I feel a lot better.." Luffy said, all relieved. He noticed that he actually drank every single cola that was in storage. "Uh-oh, better put those away." Luffy puts the empty bottles of cola back in the box. As soon as he did he left like nothing happened.

END OF FLASHBACK

"So you mean to tell me that you drank all the cola from the storage room just because of one of Long-nose's spicy balls?" Franky asked with one eye twitching.

"Uh-huh." Luffy said with a stupid grin. Franky then paid attention to Usopp who was observing land in front of him with binoculars.

"Hm... there are houses, but whats with the mushroom shape roofs? Usopp asked himself. "Maybe if I can look for any civilians I could..." Usopp was about to finish is sentence, before Franky came right into Usopp's vision.

"YOU AND YOUR STUPID INVENTIONS!" Franky said right at Usopp's face. Usopp was so shocked that he jumped several feet in the air and landed right next to Robin, who was reading a book (SURPRISING, AIN'T IT?).

Usopp then got up and said "Oi, Franky, don't startle me like that. You almost made me fall of the ship." Usopp said.

"Good, maybe you can do something useful for once and push the ship yourself." Franky said.

"Well I least I got some pants on." Usopp said mockingly.

"Are you trying to insult me Long nose, because it ain't working." Franky said.

Robin then took her eyes of her book and saw that they already arrived at the docking bay. "Gentlemen, we already arrived. Shall we take are leave?"

Franky and Usopp stopped arguing to see that they already arrived. The rest of the crew came to see the place. Luffy ,Usopp, and Chopper are amazed at what they are seeing. Sanji, Nami, and Franky are also surprised, while Robin and Zoro weren't that shocked as the rest. It looked like a town, except for the mushroom-shaped houses. They can see a large castle at a distance. There were signs that had either mushrooms or stars with cartoony eyeballs.

What was most shocking is that the residents are mushrooms themselves, only with feet and hands. There are even human sized turtles that are walking on two feet with shoes on. The residents were looking at the Strawhat crew wondering who they are.

"Who are those guys? asked a random resident.

"It looks like a pirate ship." said another resident.

"Mommy, that guy has no pants on." said a little girl.

"Don't look at him, sweety." said the mother of the child blocking her daughter's vision.

"WOW, SO COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!" Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper said at the same time.

"What the?! What is with this place? Everything here doesn't look normal!." Nami said.

"Hmm?..What's with the mushrooms?" Zoro asked.

"How come all the women are mushrooms? AND most importantly, WHY don't they have a cleavage!?" Sanji asked while weeping like crazy.

"It looks like some sort of circus if you ask me; they all look weird." Franky said as he is making a pose.

"You see, Nami!? We are in another world! Just take a look a this place, It's so cool!" Luffy said all excitedly.

"Th..this doesn't prove anything. It could be just another weird island we always go to." Nami said frustrated.

"Look, there are more coming." Robin said pointing were the castle is.

A small fleet of toad soldiers were heading straight towards the Strawhats. When they arrived, one of them stepped forward. He was leading the small fleet, like a captain of some sorts. "People on the pirate ship, we ask that you leave Mushroom Kingdom immediately or w-we will use force." said the captain, who was a little nervous.

"Mushroom Kingdom? Is that what this place is called? Interesting..." Robin said.

"Oi, why do we have to leave? We just got here." Luffy said.

"Yeah, we are not doing anything bad." Chopper said.

"We will not take word from filthy pirates such as yourselves. Leave now or we will force to take action." the captain said taking out a sword from its sheathe, trying to sound brave.

"Wait! Were just here to get some questions answered. Were not here to cause any trouble." Nami said.

"Y-Your time is up, pirates! Prepare to face justice! Men, CHAAAAAARRRRGGGGE!" the captain shouted semi-bravely as he and his men were getting on the Thousand Sunny.

"I guess they won't listen..." Zoro said as he is taking out his swords.

"No use in running now..." Sanji said as he is getting ready for battle. Robin let out a smile and put her book away.

"Auooo, time to do some exercise." Franky said as he was starting to flex a bit.

"Yosh, I'll leave everything to you guys." Usopp said as he and Chopper were hiding in the cabin.

Nami just let out a sigh and took out her clima tact, "Lets just do this quickly."

Luffy cracked his knuckles, and smiled at the soldiers. "Bring it on!".

The toad army started to attack. Luffy went charging right at one of them and "Gomu Gomu no..." said as he extends his hand backwards "PISTOL!" he then thrusts his fist forward hitting the guy in front of him so hard, he flew of like a rocket.

"WHA..WHAT WAS THAT!?" asked a soldier.

"DI..DI...DID HIS HAND JUST STRETCHED OUT LIKE A RUBBER!?" asked another soldier.

"D-D-Don't get distracted men, it must have been some sort of trick to fool us!." The captain said.

"Y-Yes sir!"

Six soldiers surrounded Zoro, ready to jump on him, but Zoro was ready for it. He is holding two swords, including the Yubashi and another sword he held with his teeth. "What kind of sword style is that?" asked a random soldier.

"Who cares!? get him!" said another soldier as he and the other five are jumping right at Zoro.

"TATSU..." Zoro was about to spin "...MAKI!" Zoro then did a 360 degree spin with his swords causing a tornado of cutting waves, which made the soldiers around him fly off the ship.

"Prepare to feel some pain, l-l-little girl!" said a rough-looking soldier, but is as nervous as everyone else.

What he didn't know is that there was a little dark cloud over him. "Little girl? Me?" Nami asked, as she let out a thunder ball in the dark cloud.

"What the..." said the rough soldier as he looks up.

"THUNDERBALL TEMPO!" Nami said as a lightning bolt hit the rough soldier, turning him into a fried mushroom.

"Hey, I saw some people going in here!" said a soldier pointing at the cabin. Two soldiers went inside the cabin.

Went they got in it, the light were off, making hard to see. "Where are they?" A soldier asked.

"Hold on. I'll turn on the lights." said another soldier as he turned on the lights. As soon as he did, Usopp popped up right in front of them readied his slingshot.

"HISSATSU KOUSHOU BOSHI!" Usopp shot the two soldiers as the pellets exploded into a cloud of pepper.

"I can't see anything!" Both soldiers said as a big figure came into their view. "What the.. A MONSTER!?". Chopper punched the two soldiers right in their faces, knocking them out.

"That's right! Don't mess with us!" Usopp shouted as Chopper let out a roar.

Sanji was facing a very tall toad soldier. "Guh huh huh huh. You cant hurt me, curly brow". said the tall soldier, who was shaking in his shoes.

Sanji then took out a cigarette from his pocket, and a lighter to light it. He then inhaled and exhaled the cigarette smoke in a smooth way and then he said "You cook the mushroom until it gets tender, then chop it in pieces to make a nice cuisine."

"Guh!? A-Are you threatening me!?" the tall soldier said, as he rushes at Sanji.

Sanji then opened his eyes and lifts his leg up to his side "COLLIEUR..." and then he thrusts his leg sideways "SHOOT!" He kicked the soldier in the abdomen making him fly straight into the ocean. "Hmph.." Sanji then throws the cigarette away.

Four soldiers cornered Robin at the back of the ship. "We got you now!" A soldier said.

Robin just smiled and crossed her forearms in front of her chest, confusing the soldiers. "VEINTICUATRO FLEUR..." Robin said as four arms appeared on each soldier holding them in place.

"WHAT THE-!?" shouted a soldier.

"CLUTCH!" The arms that are on the soldiers forced their bodies to move their legs and neck back, causing it to break their spine.

Reinforcements started to show up and they were about to get aboard the Thousand Sunny, until Franky was on the ledge of the ship. "Hmph..piece of cake!" Franky thought. "FRESH..." Franky said as he started to inhale a lot of air and then "...FIRE!" a stream of came out of his mouth taking out most of the reinforcements, while the rest of them ran away. "SUPAAAAAAAA!" Franky said as he did his own victory dance.

Basically, the soldiers that get on the ship, leave badly injured. After the massive beatings, only the captain of the toad fleet still stands. "You may have beaten my fleet, but you will never defeat me!" said the captain.

Luffy, who has taken the last soldier out, turns to the captain and said, "Hee hee, guess will have to prove that, don't we?"

The captain gulped as he was about to battle.

"That's enough!"

Luffy and the captain stopped and looked at the direction at where that voice came from.

"Who's there?!" Luffy and the captain said at the same time.

That person turned out to be none other than Princess Peach herself with her steward, Toadsworth. "P-Princess Peach." said the captain. He then got off the ship and bowed down to her. "What are you doing here, princess? It is dangerous here." The captain said.

"I would like to speak to the pirates." Peach said.

"WHAT?! But princess they are...".

"That is an order, captain." Peach said in a stern way.

"But...all right Princess, but do be careful." Peach nodded and proceeded to get on the Thousand Sunny.

"Are you sure about this, Princess?" Toadsworth asked concerned, "Look what they've already done to the soldiers. They have already proven to be the vicious type."

"That's because they were only defending themselves, Toadsworth." Peach said with a smile, "I'm sure if we just talk to them, we could get to know more about them, and resort this out in a peaceful manner."

"I don't know... but I will go with you if anything bad happens." Toadsworth said.

"Hmm?" Luffy watched Peach and Toadsworth getting onboard. "Oi, someone else is getting in." Luffy said to everyone. Usopp and Chopper came out to confront the person.

"Bring it on! I ain't scared!" Usopp said while ready to fire his slingshot, while his legs were shaking in fear at the same time.

"Okay, who is the guy is going to get beaten up this ti..." Sanji stopped as he didn't see a soldier, but Peach and Toadsworth. Sanji is dumbfounded by Peach's beauty, as his jaw dropped, touching the floor and his eyes were almost popping out of his sockets.

"Who are you?" Luffy asked.

"Forgive me for this intrusion. My name is Princess Peach, and this is my steward, Toadsworth." Peach said kindly.

"Pleasure to meet you." Toadsworth said a little uncomfortably.

"I would like to apologize for this big misunderstanding; my soldiers were too hasty, and attacked right away. They were only trying to protect the town, but I'm sure you didn't mean any harm either. As an apology, I would like to invite you people to our castle."

"Wait, let me get this straight. You are princess and you are inviting us to your castle? Nami asked. Peach nodded, which made Nami have Berri signs on her eyes. "Well, we can't reject that invitation now, can we? Nami asked facing her comrades.

"Oi..." said Usopp, Chopper, Zoro, and Franky at the same time.

"Will there be food?" Luffy asked. Nami then hit Luffy at the back of the head.

"Why yes, their will be food." Peach replied kindly.

"Yosh, We will accept your invitation." Luffy said with a bump on his head.

"Why, thank you."

"Wait a minute, Princess. Who is going to take care of the ship?" Franky asked.

"Oh, don't worry. My soldiers will protect it while your gone." Peach said, pointing at her guards.

And so, everyone followed Peach to the castle, all except Sanji, who still has the shocked face from earlier. "Beautiful blonde hair, cleavage, beautiful face, cleavage, A lovely pink dress, CLEAVAGE, A crown, CLEAVAGE!" Sanji thought to himself. "I LOVE THIS PLACE!" he shouted happily as he skipped merrily while getting off the ship, "MELLORINE, MELLORINE, MELLORINE, MELLORINE!" said Sanji repeatedly as he catches up with his crew.

TO BE CONTINUED...

Phew... My longest chapter yet. I hope enjoyed reading it as I did typing it.
