Ranma stretched as the new morning's light reached his back. He got out of bed and scratched his behind. Ranma went over to the stove to make himself some breakfast when he noticed Ranko wasn't in the room.
Their new house was unbelievably small with only one room and a bathroom.
"Must be working on her garden." Deduced Ranma.
It had been a couple of weeks since their little chat on the cliff. For some reason Ranko had tried to get over her sea sickness but to absolutely no avail. The instant she would step on the boat she would be over its side tossing her cookies…even when the boat wasn't even moving.
As Ranma started to turn on the stove Ranko came running through the door.
"Ranma, you have got to see this!" said Ranko.
"Ranko, it's too early!" said Ranma.
One of the many benefits of not living with Genma, Ranma got to sleep in a lot more.
"Not caring! You're coming with me!" said Ranko.
She grabbed him by the arm and dragged him outside into the garden.
"Okay! What is so dang important?" asked Ranma.
Ranma glared at her for not letting him at least have breakfast first.
"Look!" said Ranko.
Ranma stopped glaring and looked to see that Ranko's garden was in full bloom.
Ranma smiled; all of Ranko's hard work had finally paid off.
"That's great Ranko. You should be proud of yourself." Said Ranma.
"I can't wait to tell Robin about this!" said Ranko.
"Again with the pen pal!" said Ranma.
"Yes! So I happen to like writing to my pen pal, at least I have one unlike a certain brother I could mention!" said Ranko.
"Oh yeah? Well guess what Red, we're out of paper!" said Ranma.
"What?" asked Ranko.
"Yep you used it all up in your last letter. And what's more it's your turn to cook tonight. So I suggest you go into town, buy some paper and some food and come home." Said Ranma.
"Oh alright! How is it I can never win an argument with you?" asked Ranko.
Ranma grabbed Ranko into a headlock and started to give her a noogie.
"Because I'm your brother and what I say goes!" joked Ranma.
Ranma let her go and sent her off into town with a hug goodbye.
Just when Ranko was almost out of sight Ranma remembered something.
"HEY RANKO! DON'T STOP FOR DRESS SHOPPING THIS TIME! I WANT TO SEE YOU BEFORE NIGHT FALL!" shouted Ranma.
Ranma could see in the distance that Ranko had face faulted. He also barely managed to hear her say "How does he do that?"
It would be a while before Ranko returned home with food and writing paper so Ranma decided now would be a good time to practice some katas.
Ranma's thoughts drifted to how much stronger he had gotten in this world. There was no doubt about it, the new him could beat the old him hands down.
He also had a better life here to boot. No rivals trying to kill him daily, no women wanting to marry him (excluding the town girls who wanted to date him), no stupid Chinese bimbo to crash her freaking bike into the back of his head, and definitely no more Akane Airlines!
As Ranma went deeper into his katas the day started to get later and later until it was almost noon.
"Where is she?" asked Ranma.
Ranma stopped his kata and decided to go into town looking for her.
The town was unusually empty, by now Ranma had his little fan club following him everywhere. He remembered once one of them tried to follow him into the bathroom to see his…well to see him.
"Where is everyone? I should have run into at least a couple of people by now." Said Ranma.
It was as if somebody turned the town into a ghost town.
"This is starting to creep me out." Said Ranma.
Ranma continued to go deeper into town until he heard a slight moaning sound in an alleyway. Figuring he might get some answers he decided to investigate.
Ranma's eyes filled with fear and horror at what he saw. Down at the end of the alley was Ranko, she was brutally beaten and she cuts up and down her body.
"RANKO!" shouted Ranma.
Ranma quickly ran to her and held her head up his arms.
"Ranko, speak to me! Who did this to you?" asked Ranma.
Ranma heard laughter from behind himself. He turned around to see a man in a cloak.
"Who're you? Are you the one who did this to her?" demanded Ranma.
The figure started laugh.
"You think this is funny? Who do you think you are anyways?" demanded Ranma.
"Who am I you ask? Why I am none other than…"
The figure threw off his cloak to reveal what Ranma thought was a cross breed between a clown and a pirate.
"BUGGY THE CLOWN!"
Ranma glared at him.
"I don't care if you're Maria the Clown! Why did you do this to my sister?" demanded Ranma.
"Why? Because she got in my way that's why! She was going to get in my way of taking over this town so I took care of her!" said Buggy.
"There's no way how Ranko would EVER lose to a guy like you!" said Ranma.
"I must admit though, she might have been able to take me if it wasn't for the fact that my cursed fruit power took her by surprise!" said Buggy.
Ranma raised an eyebrow. He had heard of cursed fruit granting the eater some weirdo powers. If this was true then this fight would be…well not really hard but interesting.
"But I beat her so bad I doubt if the poor thing is even going to live! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!" laughed Buggy.
Ranma's fist tightened as he heard Buggy continue to laugh. But Buggy wasn't laughing long as Ranma socked him right in the jaw.
Buggy went flying from the force of the punch. That one punch alone had dislocated his jaw. Luckily he knew how to fix it. Buggy picked himself up and glared at the boy.
"Listen up laughing boy! You made two mistakes; first was coming here in the first place, this town is protected from pirates by me! Second was you picked the wrong sister to try to hurt, because now I AM SERIOUSLY PISSED OFF!" shouted Ranma.
Ranma charged at Buggy with his arms pulled close to his torso, ready for a fight.
Buggy took out three knives and put them in between his fingers. He then aimed it at the charging Ranma.
"Let's see how you like this: Chop Chop Harpoon!"
Buggy's hand literally shot off his arm heading straight for Ranma.
Although this tactic surprised Ranma he still didn't flinch. He just ducked under the rocketing hand and continued to charge towards the person who hurt his sister.
Ranma threw a punch towards Buggy's stomach intent on sending him flying. However, just when Ranma's punch was about to connect the stomach split in two causing him to stumble forward in surprise.
"HA! Bet you weren't expecting THAT now were you?" asked Buggy.
He started to laugh only to get a kick in the chin caused by Ranma's momentum.
Ranma landed several feet away.
"Take that!" said Ranma.
"Now I'm really mad! Let's see you dodge this: Chop Chop Festival!" shouted Buggy.
Buggy detached a lot of his body parts and sent them flying towards Ranma.
As Ranma started to dodge the body parts he began to look for the head. Ranma's guess was that if you took out the head you'd take out the rest of him.
Ranma finally spotted it up above the little tornado of flesh. Ranma jumped up and kicked it in his face causing it to fall to the ground. Soon the rest of his body followed and reattached itself.
"Is that really all you got Bug Boy? Oh before I forget, is that stupid nose of yours really a fake, or were you just born stupid looking?" asked Ranma.
Buggy, in a blind rage, started to chase after Ranma sloppily throwing punches at him unknown that he was being drawn into a circle.
Ranma threw his fist into the air and shouted "Hiryu Shoten HA!"
A tornado erupted and blew Buggy away.
"Well now that he's taken care of I can finally get Ranko to a doctor." Said Ranma.
But when Ranma turned around he saw Buggy's band of pirates ready to kill him. Half of them ran after Buggy while the other half planned on making Ranma dead.
"Ah crud." Said Ranma.
(A/N: If I had to pick a song to describe Ranma, this would be it. OH! And I don't own it so don't say I do!)
"Well you think you can take me on, you must be crazy.
The pirates took out their swords and charged straight for Ranma.
There ain't a single thing you've done that's gonna faze me.
As the pirates jumped towards Ranma they couldn't help but notice that he wasn't even flinching.
Oh, but if you want to have a go, I just want to let you know...
The pirates were now piled onto Ranma planning to give him a beating.
Yeah, get off of my BACK and into my game!
Ranma threw off all the pirates sending them flying everywhere.
Get out of my way, 'cause I'm wild and untamed!
Ranma round housed kicked an oncoming pirate in to LEO.
Get out of my face or give it your best shot!
Ranma blew away some of the pirates with a Moko Takabisha blast.
I think it's time you better face the fact!
One pirate tried to sneak up behind him only to get a kick in the face.
Get off of my back...
Ranma punched one pirate in the face sending him flying with a broken jaw.
You know it's all just a game that I'm playin.
Ranma did a number of back flips to put some distance between himself and the pirates.
Don't think you can find a way in, that's what I'm sayin...
One pirate tried to stab Ranma only him to knock it out of his hand and throw him into a building.
Oh now if you want to have a go, I just want to let you knooooow.
Ranma delivered a nasty kick to a pirate's chin sending him right on his back.
Oh get off of my back, and into my game!
Ranma threw one pirate so far the others couldn't help but watch in awe at how high and far he was going.
Get out of my face, 'cause I'm wild and untamed!
Ranma knocked down a number of pirates that had surrounded him with a series of punches and kicks.
Get out of my way, or give it your best shot!
Ranma punched a couple of pirates in their stomach causing them to fall to the ground.
But you know this train is comin off this track!
One of the pirates, who was riding a giant lion for some reason, rode up to Ranma and had the lion roar at him. Ranma gave it a death glare that made the lion back down and go running off into the sunset in fear.
Get off of my back!
Ranma dodged several sword swipes and countered with a furry of punches and kicks.
Yeah, get off of my back!
Ranma delivered a solid punch into one of pirate's stomach sending him flying into several others knocking them unconscious.
Get off!
There were only a small number of pirates left and Ranma didn't look like he was slowing down. He needed to work all the anger he had when he saw Ranko hurt so badly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Several of the pirates were now starting to realize that Ranma wasn't someone to be messed with and started to run for the hills. Unfortunately for them no one could escape from Ranma so easily.
Get off, get off, get off, get off, get off, get off, get off...
Ranma delivered an uppercut, a left cross, a sidekick, a right cross, a round house kick, a forward punch, and a number of karate chops taking out several pirates.
Get off of my back!"
The last pirate fell to the ground unconscious.
"I'll bring these guys to a navy station later. Right now I need to find Ranko a doctor." Said Ranma picking her up.
Ranma remembered that he told the town that if there were ever a pirate attack that they should all go hide in the swamp and let him take care of it.
The doctors were probably all there now but Ranma didn't have time to go to them. Ranko was fading fast, she needed medical attention NOW!
As Ranma ran to find a doctor for his sister a new pirate ship came into the docks. A sandaled foot landed on the ground. Following up this foot we see that it belongs to none other than Monkey D. Luffy.
"We're finally HEEEEEREEEEE!" shouted Luffy.
In the background you could see Buggy flying through the sky screaming his head off.
"Did you guys hear something just now?" asked Chopper.
"Not a thing." Said Luffy.
"Robin, are sure this is the right island?" asked Zoro.
"Yes I'm sure! I know for a fact that Ranko and her brother are on THIS island!" said Robin.
"We should probably split up to try to find him." Said Nami.
Usopp went with Chopper, Sanji grudgingly went with Luffy, Zoro went with Nami, and Robin stayed behind to watch the ship.
Meanwhile Ranma was running ragged to find a doctor.
