Missed Adventure onwards to Alabasta
CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY; Roald Dahl
"Above all watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places"
"No way!" Journey said, upset after the crew members returned to the ship. "That's not fair we already have a talking dog."
"IM NOT A DOG I AM A REINDEER!" a little reindeer with a pink hat cried. Apparently after the rest of the crew came barreling into the ship and set sail the island sent off the crew with a beautiful display of Sakura snow. After a tear, full goodbye of the crew mates, part the others were introducing Journey and Tramp to the reindeer known as Chopper.
"Are you okay?" Journey asked, after she got over teasing him.
"Huh?..oh yeah it's just...I don't know." Chopper said, nervously he didn't know what to do with this little girl they usually ran away screaming.
"Your nervous on leaving your home... That's okay, don't worry about it you'll be fine, I was the same when I first left home." Journey said, reassuringly.
"Really?" Chopper asked.
"Yeah, I heard you left a granny well I separated from two brothers one of them is my twin and the other is my Aneki." Journey said, looking at the straw-hat crew as they were laughing due to Luffy doing some goofy stuff.
"How did you deal with it?" Chopper asked, curiously.
"Well, I miss them since we all separated my Aneki is I heard a big shot pirate who sails the skies. Pretty cool, right?" Journey said, with a hint of pride.
"That is amazing."
"My twin is traveling around helping people. They never stay in one place so I don't know where they are." Journey stood up "Then you have me Journey who is a sea pirate working on her magic. Ironic isn't it my Aneki works with technology while me and my twin work on magic. We call but at the end we did it to improve on our skills."
Journey bent down and held out a hand toward Chopper. "Come on everyone is excited that your part of the crew."
"Come on Chopper join the party!" Luffy yelled, "Here stick these chopsticks up your nose it's easy see." He said sticking them in his nose.
Everyone was all laughing at the whole scene.
Chopper was a bit confused about what was going on.
"Here I would like to make a toast to Chopper our new doctor! To Chopper!" Usopp yelled.
"To Chopper!"
Nami handed Chopper a drink, he looked at the drink and then smiled at everyone.
The next day in the afternoon, Luffy was sitting on top of the ships head while Chopper and Tramp were with him. Chopper took a liking to Tramp due to the fact that he was an animal that could talk as well.
"This is amazing Luffy. The sea seems to go on forever." Chopper said, in wonder.
"Yeah it's huge pirates are the ones that get to have great adventures on it all the time." Luffy said.
"Incredible being a pirate must be really great."
"And the sea is just filled with mystery." Tramp agreed.
Then a huge shadow hovered over them.
"What is that? A seagull?" Luffy said.
"Don't be ridiculous, seagulls can't be that big." Nami said.
"But it's the Grandline" Tramp tried, to explain.
"HEY SEAGULL!" Luffy yelled.
Suddenly the giant bird started to come towards them.
"You idiot why did you call at it!" Nami yelled.
"Yeah, adventure!" Chopper yelled.
"Not good!" Tramp cried.
As the bird came in closer Luffy grabbed onto it.
"Oh, no Luffy gonna get eaten!" Chopper yelled.
Chopper then ran in a panic to get Sanji, Journey, Zoro, and Usopp who were playing cards. Although Journey had a winning hand again.
"Quick emergency! Luffy has been caught by a giant bird!" Chopper yelled, running around circling them.
"Did Luffy call for help?" Zoro said.
"No." Chopper said, why isn't anyone going to help the captian.
"Then don't worry about it. He's fine." Zoro said, picking a card from the deck he had some berri's on this game.
"Woohooo!" Luffy yelled, riding the bird.
"Gumo gumo no.," Luffy said, twisting his arms together and grabbing the bird's beak. Luffy then started spinning the bird rapidly crashing it right on top of the ship right by the five.
"Luffy! Why did you do that for I had a very good hand." Usopp said, about the card game.
"No, you didn't," Journey said, showing him her hand which was a royal flush.
"Dammit!"
"Fold."
"Tehihihihi. I win." Journey said, taking the winnings.
"I got some food, Sanji could you make something out of this?" Luffy asked.
"Sure." Sanji said.
"Does that mean we're going to have decent meals now?" Zoro asked.
"If it's coming from Sanji you may have a 50/50 chance of it being good however for girls it's 100%." Journey said, while petting Tramp thinking of the food.
"Hey, guys! Quit fooling around, we'll be arriving at Alabasta soon and we need to prepare for it so come on." Nami said.
"Yes Ma'am," everybody said walking towards the main deck.
"So, what is this Alabasta kingdom were going to?" Chopper said.
"It's the country that Vivi is from and her dad is the ruler of it." Tramp said.
"Yeah and there's this guy called Crocodile who's trying to take it over." Usopp said.
"And he is also one of the warlords of the sea." Sanji said.
"Warlords of the sea who are those guys?" Chopper said.
"There a group of pirates who are given authority by the world government." Vivi said.
"The world government supports pirates?" Chopper said.
"Yeah. It's pretty weird, the warlords are incredibly powerful, you see they go around defeating other pirates one by one, that's why the government supports the warlords, the idea is using pirates to get rid of other pirates." Usopp said.
"I'm looking forward to meeting this crocodile guy." Luffy said, cracking his knuckles.
"Many people consider crocodile a hero back home by getting rid of pirates that attack Alabasta, but his good deeds are all just an act, on the surface he's an evil man, in truth he's been manipulating the citizens of Alabasta to bring about civil war so he can take over the country and nobody is realizing it not even my father." Vivi explained.
"All right so the only thing we have to do is beat up that crocodile guy." Luffy said.
"Yes, but in order to do that, we have to avert the civil war and take care of the organization that he runs. Baroque works."
"Baroque works?" Chopper asked.
"Yeah, it's kind of tricky on how their system work's." Usopp said.
"Well actually its quite simple. First at the very top of the organization is the boss crocodile which his agents call him Mr.0. There are a total of 12 agents and one animal, who receives orders from the boss directly. For the most part, these 12 male agents operate as part of a pair with a female agent. The agents with codenames 1 through 6 are known as officer agents they possess devil fruit powers and they are only sent on the most important missions. Agents 7 through 13 are in charge of fundraising making money for the organization. Mr.1 is paired with Miss Doublefinger, Mr.2 doesn't have a female partner."
"And that wax dude that we bumped into at little garden was Mr. 3 right?" Journey asked.
"Yes, he is paired with the painter Miss Goldenweek. And then there's Mr.4 he's paired with Miss Merry Christmas. I don't, really know much about those two."
"Then there's that exploding snot guy Mr.5." Luffy said.
"Exploding snot guy?" Chopper said.
"Yeah, this guy was able to blow up any part of his body." Usopp said.
"And Miss Valentine was his partner, she ate the kilo kilo fruit and was able to change her weight at any time." Nami said.
"And then there's Mr. 6 he's paired with Miss Mother Day, they use to be part of the fundraising agents for the organization but due to their accomplishments and obtaining devil fruit powers like the other 1 through 5 agents they were moved to the officer agents." Vivi said.
"What about that weird monkey and chicken that I ran into?" Sanji asked.
"That's Mr. 13 and Miss Friday there the agencies punishment squad, and are charged with punishing agents that fail to complete a mission, and there are more. Under the officer agents, there are 200 men called billions, and another 1800 men under the frontier agents called millions together they make the secret crime syndicate baroque works."
"There's 2000 of them!?" Chopper yelled.
"2000!?" Usopp said.
"Cool." Journey said. "You don't usually see crime organizations like this in the Blue's."
"Alright I think I understand...when are we going to get to Alabasta so I can beat up Crocodile?" Luffy said.
"I don't think you get it at all Luffy." Usopp said.
"Yeah, you keep repeating the same thing." Journey said.
"Okay so if Baroque works plan is to take over Alabasta. Then I can guess that must mean." Zoro said.
"The rest of the officer agents as Vivi called them." Sanji said.
"Are they on their way to Alabasta as we speak." Nami said.
"Yeah.'" Vivi said.
"Okay so in that case, we just have to beat up crocodile and-" Luffy said.
"Just drop it Luffy." Sanji said
"Okay."
"But, wait I heard that because of the drought the fighting started maybe if we find a way to bring the rain back they would stop." Journey said.
"We can't." Vivi said.
"Why not?"
"Because the only way to bring rain into a desert is to use Dance powder and not only is it illegal it hurts other countries with rain."
"Then use magic."
"There is no way."
"Fine."
After meeting, everyone went back to their activities. Journey and Tramp went into the girl's cabin and looking through their storage chest pulled out a book. Looking through the book, they saw different jewels and treasures until they stopped on one titled Hyades Tears. Journey smirked in the book was the current location of the jewel this situation was perfect.
"Well, Tramp looks like we're going on a short trip."
"Okay, here we are Tramp," Journey said, dressed as Dodger. She was standing in a hot air balloon in the middle of the Grandline with Tramp. "the book says that the gem is at sky island."
"What's the name of the island?"
"Cloud cuckoo land." Dodger said, seriously.
"..." Tramp deadpanned.
"No, I'm serious Tramp."
"...just wow." Tramp said, distantly how could this happen.
"Don't worry besides there could be tons of treasure but all we need is the jewel."
Dodger pulled down the flamethrower for the balloon to float upward. Luckily borrowing a hot air balloon from Dodger Aneki wasn't too hard. He liked to help with her adventures and they communicated often through his inventions. Although more than often it was not possible because of the weather and he was always busy too. When their balloon went through the clouds they were greeted with a majestic sight. On a mass of clouds stood an island with lush green it wasn't too big but enough to support some form of life. Dodger could find a spot to land her aircraft safety and quietly in case there were people on it.
"Okay! Tramp off on an adventure to obtain the Hyades Tear!" Dodger cried, happy to be out of the hot air balloon.
"Come on Tramp!"
Tramp who was in the bushes looking at something ran out.
"Right!"
Back on the ship there was a child looking around his twins living space.
"This place looks nice right, Lady?" He asked, his dog.
This is Traverse and his dog Lady looked exactly like Journey and Tramp but Traverse had his scars in mirrored positions from his face. Journey had asked him to take her place on the crew and fill in while she was away. It was easy because they looked identical despite being fraternal.
"It looks nice." Lady said.
"HEY JOURNEY COME OUT AND SEE THIS!" Luffy called.
Looking at each other Traverse smirked, "Show time."
They walked through the dense forest on the strangely named island seeing many strange animals like a flying pig. Strange indeed. Dodger and Tramp found themselves in front of a stone statue in the middle of the clearing with a stone tablet. The statue was of a woman who seemed to be looking up at the sky in grief. Walking toward the tablet Dodger read the inscription:
To gain entry, you must find the fierce spirit that resided in the maiden of rain. Obtain her heart and the path shall be revealed to the.
"So, there's a key?" Tramp asked, turning around to look for the key.
"It looks like it." Dodger replied, staring at the words.
"How will we find it?"
"Tehihi, you of little faith it's simple." Dodger said, "All we have to do is find a gem." she pointing to the hallowed spot in the statues chest area.
"You mean one like this one." Tramp asked, holding up a red stone.
"Where did you get that!" Dodger cried, surprised.
"I found it in the bushes."
Taking the gem, she felt the heat coming out from the rock and placed it into the hallow spot. Could this be the fiery spirit of the maiden of rain? This seemed too convenient. Something wasn't right.
Click!
The ground started to tremble and the statue moved backward to reveal a hidden staircase. Dodger and Tramp looked at each other smiled and walked down the stairs. When they reached the end, they saw it the treasure. The Tear was very simple in design being a blue gem that seemed to be made of glass attached to a silver chain. The gem was shaped like a tear itself. Dodger walked over to the jewel and looked at it however when she saw it her smile turned into a scowl. Not caring for possible traps, she took the necklace and walked out of the chamber. She didn't look happy though.
"What's wrong Dodger?" Tramp asked, noticing that his human was less than happy.
"We were beaten." Dodger said not taking her eyes on the offending jewel while her hat shadowed her eyes.
"What do you mean?"
Dodger made a fist around the necklace crushing it. When she opened her hand all that was left was dust and a piece of paper.
"Tch, it wasn't even good quality." Dodger said, taking the piece of paper it read:
Hey, what do you think of my fake? The Hyades Tear is now the property of the great and powerful Shadow.
Dodger and Tramp thought, what an idiot.
"And he put where he worked." Tramp sweatdropped.
"DANG IT!" Dodger cried.
Dodger's to do list:
1. Find Shadow
2. Steal Hyades Tear
3. Help Vivi
After coming back and saying good bye to Traverse and Lady the Straw Hats were almost close to their destination.
"Okay, it shouldn't be too much farther now." Nami said, to Vivi.
"Don't lie to me Luffy, I want to know exactly what happened and you're going to look at me in the eyes and tell me the truth." Sanji said, grabbing Luffy cheek in anger.
"I have no idea what you mean Sanji, I don't know anything," Luffy said, trying to keep his eyes away from Sanji.
"Then let me ask you how did enough food for nine people that divided perfectly so that it'll last us to get to Alabasta just disappear overnight, so stop lying you're got a terrible way of hiding it."
Luffy just turned his face away.
"Uh, Luffy there's something around your mouth,"
"Crap, I forgot about the crumbs!" Luffy yelled, putting his hands on his cheeks.
"SO YOU DID EAT IT!" Sanji yelled, kicking Luffy. "Jerk..hey Nami can we do something? Perhaps but a lock from the refrigerator."
"That's not such a bad idea," Nami looking at Usopp, Chopper and Carue fishing "it could mean the difference between life and death."
All of them were secretly eating some food.
"Okay, we got to make sure that we get some fish for Sanji," Usopp said.
"Tehihi, you're in trouble." Journey mocked, eating a pastry.
"So how is the fishing coming along?" Sanji said, walking towards them.
"Great it's going along just fine," Usopp said
Suddenly Sanji crashed all the fishermen's heads together making them fell on the deck.
"Pathetic I can't keep my eyes off of you guys for just one second."
Journey laughed while feeding a pastry to Tramp. She had gotten over the disappointment and hoped to move on from the failed treasure hunt. She even caught up with her twin who thought the crew were overall great company if you wanted a laugh.
"Uh, Nami I think there might be trouble up ahead." Vivi said.
"What is it?" Nami asked.
All of them walked out and noticed the smoke up ahead.
"Oh, there's nothing to worry about its just a little bit of steam." Nami said.
"Steam from an ocean?" Vivi said.
"Cool," Journey said.
"Yeah it's a hotspot. Underneath over there is an active volcano." Nami said.
"There's volcanoes under the ocean?" Chopper said.
"That's right, in fact there are more volcanoes under water then on land."
"So, I guess we can't eat the steam then?" Luffy said, hungry.
"There will be new island by that spot, but it will take thousands of years for it to happen." Nami said.
"Wow, your amazing Nami!" Sanji said.
"You think I'll be able to wait that long?" Luffy said, to Usopp.
"I don't know but I don't intend to live that long."
"So, guys have you caught anything yet?" Sanji said.
"No and we're starving could you cook up something?"
"I don't know, you pretty much ate everything, but I'll go and check the storage to see what we have left." Sanji said, going back inside.
They were then sailing into the steam, and everyone was coughing
"Just keep it together everyone we'll be out of it soon!" Nami said, coughing.
"Why didn't we just go around it!?" Tramp yelled, coughing.
"I can't see anything!"
"It tastes like sulfur."
"How would you know that?"
As they were sailing out of the fog, Luffy and Usopp started to feel a tug on their fishing poles.
"I think we got something!" Luffy yelled.
Luffy and Usopp looked and noticed two strange men holding onto Carue, one had makeup on and was wearing a pink swan overcoat, a blue medieval outfit, and some ballerina shoes. While the other one was dressed in a blue robe along with a blue pointed hat with stars.
"I got to stop jumping on every random duck I see." The ballerina man said.
The men then slipped off and into the water.
"Ahh, please help me I can't swim!"
"I'll save you!"
Everyone minus Sanji went to see the strange men.
"I thought I was gonna die there for a minute, you saved me thanks, I will never forget your kindness." The ballerina man said
"Please the great and powerful me would not allow it!" said the other one
"So, you can't swim?" Luffy asked.
"Nope You see I ate a devil fruit so I can't swim not even a little bit." the ballerina man said.
"What kind of devil fruit?" Usopp asked.
"Well since I won't be getting anywhere without my ship, I suppose there's no harm in having a little fun. All right I'll show this is my POWER!" The man said palm striking Luffy in the face, which caught everyone by surprise.
"What the hell?!" Zoro yelled, taking his swords out
"Wait! Hold on a second this is just for a little fun." The man said.
Everyone had a shocked expression as they saw the man turn into Luffy.
"Hah!?" Journey said.
"Woah!" Luffy said, getting up.
"And when I touch my face with my left hand...I'm back to normal. That is the power of the clone clone fruit you see." The man said, turning back.
"Amazing." Nami said
"The voices and appearance matched perfectly." Usopp said
The man then touched Usopp, Nami's, Zoro's, and Choppers face. He was about to touch Journey's face Tramp tried to bite him so he backed off. "Now watch carefully."
"You see." The man turned to Usopp
"All I have to do." The man then turned to Zoro
"Is touch my right hand to you," The man then turned to Chopper. "can mimic anyone." The man then turned to Nami.
"And that's not all I can change...bodies to." The man said showing his chest to Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp In Nami's form which made them all bug-eyed. Journey covered her eyes with respect to Nami and Tramp followed suit.
Nami then punched the man in the face hard turning him to normal. "STOP THAT!" Nami yelled, red faced and a vein throbbing on her head.
"Are you okay?" Luffy said
"I'm fine but I don't think I should show you my power anymore." The man said.
"Such a petty power is no match for my powerful magic!" the blue man arrogantly said.
"Please do more!" Usopp Chopper and Luffy yelled, ignoring him.
"Well okay." The man said.
"Hey don't ignore me!"
Doing a ballerina twirl. The man then started changing into different faces and one of them caught Vivi by surprise and was shocked over it.
"Hey, guys there's a ship coming this way," Tramp said, looking over the edge of the ship.
Everyone looked and noticed.
"That's our ship..well I guess it's time to say goodbye my new friends." The man said.
"Noooo please don't go yet!" Chopper, Luffy, and Usopp yelled.
"Yes, it is sad that I have to go but don't worry, friendships are eternal!" The man said, jumping onto his ship.
"Until we meet again!"
'"Bye!"
"Now let's get going!"
"The great and powerful me does not take orders from the likes of you!" the man following him anyway said.
"Yes, Mr. 2 Mr. Bon Clay sir and Sir Shadow" their crew said, as they sailed away.
"WAIT A MINUTE! MR. 2!" The straw hats yelled.
"Mr. 2!?" Vivi said
"What? You mean you didn't recognize him?" Luffy said.
"No, I've never met Mr. 2 or Mr.1 quite frankly I don't much about the officers or their abilities. But I did hear rumors. Mr. 2 was a tall ballerina with a swan coat that has the name Bon Clay on the back."
"But that's not all while he was switching through his faces I saw my father. Cobra Nefetari, the king of Alabasta." Vivi said, almost in tears.
"That's not good if he can mimic the king's appearance so easily that can cause a lot of trouble," Zoro said.
"Not ours he doesn't," Journey said, proudly though she couldn't believe that the other guy was Shadow even in real life he sounded arrogant and she didn't expect to find him so soon.
"Guess we let very dangerous guys get away." Usopp said.
"This is bad, if Mr. 2 figures out that were the ones that Baroque Works is after us he can use our faces against us once we get to Alabasta." Nami said.
"Now hold on a second I know that things look bad but hear me out... It's actually a good thing we bumped into him when we did, now that we know what were up against we can prepare and beat him at his own game." Zoro said.
Sanji then finally came from the storage. He then saw everyone tying bandages on their arms. "What did I miss?"
"You wouldn't believe it we bumped into this guy that was able to change his appearance into anyone." Usopp said.
"Really?' Sanji asked, eyebrow raised.
"Yeah and then we found out he's one of the officers that Vivi was talking about." Journey said not mentioning the other guy Shadow because anyone can take him really with that attitude.
"And so were wrapping these bandages on our arms to make sure we don't mistake anyone in case he uses his powers against us." Nami said.
"Hmm, it seems I missed a lot." Sanji said.
"There now we can tell each other apart." Nami said.
Then suddenly there was this big rumbling noise coming from the underneath the ship.
"Whoah, what's going on?" Journey yelled, grabbing hold to Tramp.
"I don't know?" Nami said.
Then suddenly there was this big giant sea king that looked like a cat.
"It's, a sea cat!" Vivi yelled.
"Ahhhhhhh!" Usopp screamed.
"Tramp chase it up a tree!" Journey ordered in panic.
"Looks like food to me!" Zoro yelled getting his swords.
"Yeah! MEAT!" Luffy yelled.
The sea cat then suddenly started to get nervous.
"Quick someone turn the ship around!" Luffy yelled.
"Don't you let it get away or I'll kill you," Sanji yelled.
Then suddenly all three of them felt a broomstick hit them over the head knocking them down.
"Don't!" Vivi yelled.
The sea cat then swam away
"Vivi why did you do that for I'm hungry!" Luffy yelled, outrage.
"I'm sorry, I just couldn't let you. Sea cats are sacred creatures in Alabasta it would be wrong for me to let you guys kill it!" Vivi yelled.
"Oh, I read about that!" Journey said, "Their good luck right?"
"Well that's a damn shame." Sanji said,
"No this is good, that means that were close to Alabasta now." Vivi said, happily.
"And what about those ships?" Zoro said.
"What?" Vivi said,
Everyone looked and saw Baroque Works ships coming.
"Look at all those ships." Luffy said.
"And their all bearing the Baroque Works flag this can't be good." Usopp said, scared.
"It seems that all the agents are gathering, I'm guessing these must be the billions, the subordinates for the officer agents." Vivi said.
'That means they're 200 agents ready for us." Nami said.
"These groups will be better than the bounty hunters that you came across at whiskey peak that I'm certain."
"I can see land!" Tramp yelled.
"That must be Nanohana!" Vivi said, excitedly.
"Woohoo, we finally made it, all right let's huddle up." Luffy said.
Everyone stood in a circle with one of their hands out.
"This is a sign of our friendship...NOW LETS EAT!...oh and help Vivi." Luffy said.
"Luffy!?" Everyone yelled.
Omake:
Traverse was watching his twins crew mates. They were a rowdy bunch. Nami was pretty and Sanji made very good food. It was fun setting traps and blaming Usopp when Zoro set them off. Overall, he wouldn't mind taking Journey's place whenever she wanted to get something.
