Author: Most likely the last chapter I'll upload until Middle May. Who knows? Maybe I am going to have some internet, but I wouldn't count on that. Be assured that I will continue writing, because I will have my laptop with me.
As a side note: Is it 'Ironman' or 'Iron Man'? I don't know.


Thundergod, Ironman and crazy Pirates

The Thousand Sunny was sailing across the surface of the sea. The water was blue, just like the sky. There were a few fluffy clouds high above them and some seagulls flew past.

A giant Seaking erupted from the waves and roared at the little pirate ship. Seconds later something tiny, almost insignificant, shot from the little wooden construct and crushed right into the Seaking's open jaws. Lightning raced across the monster as the tiny something burst through the backside of the creature's skull to fly a loop and return to the ship. In the very second the tiny something was grasped in a strong hand, the giant Sea monster collapsed back into the water.

"The feast is served", the blonde thunder god announced as he lowered Mjöllnir.

"Good work, Thunderhead", Sanji stated, "Now go and fish it out of the water. Oi, shitty Marimo, help him."

"Yosh! Seaking Meat today!" Luffy exclaimed happily as he looked at the giant carcass with shining eyes.

"Super work!" Franky grinned, "And super fast too! Where did you learn that?"

"During my fights for Asgard I became well-versed in slaying every enemy, no matter how large they are", Thor explained.

"And what about tiny foes? Like Dwarves?" Usopp wondered. Thor threw him a look.

"Enemies like those do not deserve to be slain", he explained, "There is no honour is fighting enemies who are smaller than me and there is no honour in fighting women, children or old ones either."

"I don't like fighting them either", Luffy replied, "But I would if they make me really angry."

"What would make you angry, friend Strawhat?"

"Attacking my Nakama!" Luffy answered without taking a second to think. "And people who treat their own Nakama bad! And people who teat other people's dreams bad!"

"You are indeed an honourable man, friend Strawhat", Thor replied heartily, slapping the young boy hard on the back. Luffy face planted into the grass of the deck. There was an awkward silence until the Captain freed his face from the grass and started laughing.

"You're alright, Thor! You're our Nakama now, and nothing will change that!"

"Indeed my friend! We shall feast!"

"You still need to get the Seaking to the ship for a feast", Sanji interrupted, "I mean I'm not going to swim over there, cut out the best pieces and swim back. That would foul the taste of the meat and my good mood. So get it over here."

"Right" Luffy scratched his head and was about to stretch his arm and snatch the carcass when Thor stopped him. "Let me do this task, my friend. I have slain the beast so it is my challenge to get it close. Friend Blackleg is right, the meat would be fouled if he had to pull it through the waters."

He leapt off the ship and used his hammer to fly over to the giant carcass. Then, with only one hand, he heaved the entire beast out of the water and carried it over to the Sunny, seemingly without any effort. Everybody on board of the pirate ship dropped their jaws and stared at the scene in front of them.

The thunder god stopped once he got close enough and frowned deeply at the pirates. Even the otherwise stoic Robin was showing a shocked face, even if not as extreme as the others.

"Is there something wrong, my friends?" the God asked, "Why are you staring at me like that?"

"How-how do you do that?" Nami stammered.

"Do what, my fair lady?"

"Carry an entire Seaking in one hand! How?! Even giants are exhausted when doing that!"

Thor blinked in understanding. "How forgetful of me", he apologized and slowly lowered the dead monster into the water, "I forgot that you mortals are not as strong as we Aesir."

Luffy stared for a moment at the Seaking, then to Thor. His eyes started to sparkle. "Are all of your friends that strong, Thor? I would love to meet them!"

"All of my kin are stronger than most mortals", the Thunderer explained proudly, "And I am indeed the strongest of them. There are only the Midgard Serpent which I can not heave out of the sea and the Giant Wolf Fenris which is powerful enough to break fetters that even I can not break."

"I hope you can show me a trick or two", Zoro finally admitted, "Because I want to be the strongest Swordsman on the Grandline."

"We can do that later", Sanji eventually said, "Let me just prepare the meat."

"Yosh! Sanji's Seaking is the best food!" Chopper cheered.

"I want half of it!" Luffy hollered, "And Thor can have the other half!"

"Oi Cap'n, you have to leave something over for us", Franky reminded the Rubber boy.

"Shishishi! Okay, then Thor gets half of the half and you the other half!"

"Insatiable Glutton", Usopp murmured. Luffy only laughed at this. All of the pirates were quickly back in high spirits, Thor's little feat of strength quickly forgotten.

-OoOoO-

"So, what do you need?"

Tony turned slightly to watch the massive redhead who showed him the bowels of his ship. "The boiler is over there, the workplace right next to it."

"Boiler? On a pirate ship? How come?"

"Tch. Do you seriously think we waste money on buying water when we fucking float on this shit? We get the sea water into our ship and just remove all the salt. We can make more profit that way and have an unlimited source of fresh water."

"That's actually really clever", Tony admitted, "Okay, Big guy, and who's your mechanic? I would love to meet that person face to face."

"You're standing in front of him", Kid answered grinning, "I did most of the metal work around here."

"You?!" Tony was taken back for a moment. It was almost a ridiculous fantastic idea that a man like Eustass friggin' Kid was able to construct something as complex as a boiler. Coming to think of it... the entire ship was coated with metal and the redhead had been able to correctly identify the material of Tony's suit.

"You build all this?" the billionaire asked again, "You?"

"Hah! I knew you would react like that", Kid grinned darkly, "But it's true. I might look a bit wild, but I know my shit when it comes to metal and magnets."

"If I might add, sir", JARVIS suddenly piped up. Tony jerked around, having almost forgotten that the AI was following them with the damaged suit. "You don't look like a genius yourself. You look more like a 'Drunken AC/DC Fanboy, if I might quote Miss Potts."

"Hey! I am a drunken AC/DC fanboy!" Tony snapped back. "And a genius too!"

"Aceedeecee?" Kid asked, "What's that?"

The billionaire arched an eyebrow before starting to beam. "Oh, you're gonna love it, Big Guy!"

-o-

Killer was on watch duty when suddenly 'Highway to Hell' blared right through the ship. Within seconds he was on his feet and darted towards the source of the noise and found it in the boiler room. Kid stood with wide eyes and a battle ready pose several feet away from Tony Stark who leaned grinning on his now empty suit of armour that was blaring the music.

"What is going on here?!" the Massacre Soldier yelled.

"Nothing much", Tony grinned at him, "Just showing your captain the fine art of some Hard Rock."

"And I love it", Kid replied with a malicious grin, "What about you, Killer?"

"Same here", the Massacre Man admitted.

"And us", the remaining crew hollered.

Pause

"GET BACK TO WORK, YOU IDIOTS!"
