Chapter 3: Landing Straw Hat Style

Luffy had jumped too high, he knew that, "Wahhhhhhhh" he then went through the cloud line, ("I really should have aimed forward instead of straight up") he thought to himself as he kept getting higher and higher.

Chopper had also misjudged the propulsion he gave himself and he ended up in the clouds, ("I'm pretty sure there's some kind of irony about messing that up") he thought to himself.

Both Sanji and Zoro were basically racing each other in the while running on the air, to which everybody else just stared at what they were doing, "What the hell Mosshead, where'd you learn to do that!" Sanji shouted at the swordsman.

Zoro then tried hitting Sanji with one of his swords "Well if you could learn it how hard could it be, Swirly-Brow!", then Zoro's feet gave out from under him and he started plummeting.

Sanji just burst into laughter "Hahaha, you obviously couldn't keep it up you dumbass, admit it, I'm better than you!".

Zoro just turned in the air to give Sanji a quick middle finger before re-positioning himself to brace for his eventual crash into the ground.

"That's it, I'm coming for you now!" Sanji stated as he started sky-walking intending to fight Zoro and then Sanji's own legs gave out, "What the hell…!" he screamed as he started to fall.

Chopper then got an idea ("I just need to make it so that I fall back down, so I need to be heavier"), he then shifted to Monster Point and immediately started to fall "This'll probably work, I will also have to work on that whole landing thing".

Meanwhile in the clouds Luffy had finally lost momentum and had started to fall back through the clouds, "I wonder what everybody's landing strategy is" he thought out loud cross-legged as he immediately went through the cloud line, he then looked down and could see the forest beneath him and this warranted a single response from the young man "Woooohooooo!".

(Meanwhile on the ground)

Weiss had just landed and while as started running and looking around she thought to herself ("Those guys overshot it a bit, I mean seriously what did they think they could jump over the whole forest or something"), she then turned to see a certain black and red haired girl.

Blake had landed perfectly on all fours (a/n heh heh, joke….), and then she saw a a giant furry form appear above her and since she didn't want to bogged down by trying to take something that big on she ran heading deeper into the forest.

(Back in the air)

As the two of them were plummeting towards the ground it seemed that they still hadn't given up on their argument, "You wanna go me Mosshead!" Sanji screamed, "You better not have anything to do with me falling out of the sky as well".

Zoro tried swinging both his swords at the chef's legs but they were blocked, "Hell if I know you Pervy-Chef, you're just pathetic!".

And then the two of them crashed into the ground with a wonderous 'thump'.

As the two of them climbed out of the holes they had dug with their own bodies they turned to each other and just paled.

"Shit"

"Crap"

"Damn"

"Shit"

The realisation had hit both of them, they were the first to see each other after landing and that meant only one thing, "I am not going to be your god damn partner!" they screamed at other simultaneously before charging at each other.

Chopper was starting to reach the ground at an alarming rate, ("Okay now what would be the best form to land with…., maybe guard point…, yeah I'll go with guard point, maybe I can even use it to bounce over a bit more of the forest", he then shifted to the extreme sized guard point and immediately hit the ground and bounced back up heading for the clouds again, and all that Chopper could think of was "Crap".

Luffy was heading for the ground at an alarming speed (well for anybody but him) and before he knew it he hit a very soft and cushy object, "What is this!" he said jumping up and down on the furry thing as it took him back into the sky before falling down again.

Chopper could here somebody screaming, "Is somebody there?" he inquired before decreasing the size of his guard point as it started to fall to the ground again.

"Yo, who's that?" Luffy said starting to scrabble at the mound beneath him thinking there was somebody beneath it.

The form then shrunk a bit and Luffy saw a familiar hat, "Yo, Chopper".

Chopper could hear Luffy but not see him, and because he could feel somebody trying to grab at his fur he shouted "Hey Luffy, is that you?".

"Yeah", Luffy said walking to where Chopper's head was located on the form and then he looked down at it, "So is your landing strategy or something?" he asked the reindeer.

Chopper attempted to shrug (but couldn't due to obvious reasons) instead chose to speak up "I think I shouldn't have used jump point, I ended up in the clouds".

Luffy smirked "So did I, I couldn't really think of a great way to fall back down so I'm kinda winging it at the moment".

Chopper paled "Why did I think you actually had a plan, you probably were just going off the fact that hitting the ground head on wouldn't even hurt you".

Luffy nodded and smirked in admittance, "Well it wouldn't, would it?".

Guard point shrunk a bit more, "Well you're not wrong, but I don't think that should pin surviving on a crash being because you're made of rubber, what if somebody else was with you, what would you do then?" Chopper questioned.

Luffy shrugged "Ehh, sometimes you just gotta leave stuff up to fate or something, right?, I mean hasn't Zoro said something like that as well?".

Chopper's face drooped as they neared the ground and before he could retort against Luffy's stupidity they slammed into the ground.

Luffy dragged himself of the ground and looked around "There's a lot of those Grimm things out there Chopper, I wonder if we could take them all on".

Chopper heaved himself up against a broken tree stump from their landing, "Why do you want to do that, can't we just get this initiation thing over with and not have to worry about taking out all of the Grimm in this forest".

Luffy turned and grinned at him "Oh yeah, I almost forgot, have you seen anybody else Chopper?".

The reindeer shook his head vigorously "Of course I haven't you dolt, I've been falling in and out of the sky for the past couple of minutes and then I end up running into a guy who was just happy with crashing into the ground!".

Luffy smiled "I guess since we're the first people each of us has seen that makes us partners, right?".

Chopper paled, ("Crap I'm Luffy's partner now, aren't I?, I'm going to die, I can feel it"), he then nodded his head in reluctance, "Yes I guess we're partners now Luffy, and that means we have to worry about each other, so please don't do anything stupid, okay?".

Luffy turned away to face the rest of the forest and his smile widened "Don't worry about it Chopper, just grab hold and we'll get this thing done".

"Why do I get the feeling that this is just going to end badly for me" Chopper muttered and he resigned himself to grabbing onto Luffy's back and preparing himself.

"This is gonna be fun!" Luffy shouted as he threw both of his hands onto two trees and started walking back.

("Maybe it would've been better dying, I mean at least I would've been at peace right") Chopper thought to himself watching as Luffy continued to walk back the tension in his arms continuing to grow.

"Let's GOOOOOOOO!" Luffy shouted as he let go of the trees and rocketed the two of them in what was just a random direction without any actual thought being put into it, and all that could be heard from their blurred form as it rocketed through the forest was both a terrified and extremely excited scream.

Sup everybody, this ones just a short chapter this time (like probably what will be the shortest chapter), but next time is where the destruction and mayhem begins hahahahaha, but for now I just wanted to just get this part out of the way. XD XD XD

Also I quickly have four lines hinting at the other four characters from one piece so have fun guessing who they are.

The blood stained sands created from a broken dream.

Her will is to live

The duality of a broken woman

His truth was hidden behind a shroud

And that's all, Peace Out!
