"Na, Sanji. Can we have our bento now?" asked Luffy. Another vein appeared on Sanji's head for the fifth time.

"I already told you. We'll have lunch once we get halfway. We just left the cave! Can't you control that stomach of yours until then?"

Luffy was taken back by what he said. He looked down and remained quiet. Memories of their fight flooded back in his mind and it wasn't a pleasant thought. Thinking back, it was actually his fault they came on the island in the first place. It was his fault Nami got hurt and ran away. He was the blame and none of them knew. Luffy began to feel guilty for not telling the others. If Sanji knew, he wouldn't live to the next hour. But he's his nakama and he deserves the right to know.

"S.. Sanji.. about what happened with Nami..."

"Save it. Usopp already told us." Luffy looked up in surprise. "If I could, I would kick you up so high in the air that you wouldn't have any oxygen to breathe. But that's not the case right now. Our first priority is to save Nami. You dying is a close second."

"Shishishi, you're right. Once we get home, I'll let you kick me to the moon. I've always wanted to go there," Luffy grinned.

"Then we're on the same page," Sanji smiled.

"Ne, Sanji?"

"What?"

"Are we halfway yet?" Luffy peeked over Sanji's shoulder to get a look at the map. Sanji snatched it away from his view.

"No, we're not!"

"We are! Aren't we?"

"No!"

"Liar!" Luffy set his bag down and started searching for food. Sanji ran over and tried to stop him.

"No! We need to save it!"

"But I'm starving!" Both of them stopped what they were doing when they heard a loud growl coming from the large bushes.

"Sanji, was that your stomach? Are you hungry too?"

"No it wasn't, idiot!"

At that moment, a large tiger leaped out of the bushes and stopped right in front of them. Sanji and Luffy stared at it in shock. It was three times their height and it had two heads and two tails. It was amazing, yet terrifying. Sparkles appeared on Luffy's eyes. He licked his lips and reached in his bag to get a fork and a knife. Sanji turned to Luffy's bag then back at the tiger. It must've smelled the food and came running here. Another vein appeared on Sanji's head. Luffy was enough, but now a tiger?

"Time to eat!" Luffy ran for it. Sanji pulled his sleeves up calmly.

"Matte, Luffy! Let me cook it first!" Sanji ran after him. Luffy jumped onto the tiger's leg, but before he could climb up any higher, two shadows beat him to it. The two figures ran to the top to where Luffy could no longer see them. Luffy rubbed his eyes to see if he was seeing right. Sanji jumped up on the tiger's leg and landed right next to Luffy. Sanji turned to Luffy. His sudden stop made him stop.

"What's wrong?"

"There's these two guys trying to eat the tiger, too!"

"Nani!" Sanji started to climb up to the top. He stopped midway when the tiger roar in terror. Both Sanji and Luffy clutched onto its fur tighter. It started to shake and tremble.

"Sanji! What did you do!"

"I didn't do anything!" The tiger let out another loud cry before falling on it's side. The two Strawhats made a jump for it before its large size squished them. Luffy scratched his head as he sat on the floor. Sanji placed both hands in his pockets as he stared at the smoke created by the tiger's fall. It was sudden and Luffy did say there were two other people trying to eat it. But where are they now? Were they squished by its size?

The smoke began to clear and two dark figures were walking towards them. Luffy got up and dusted himself off. He threw his knife and fork behind him and cracked both his knuckles. Sanji lighted a new cigarette and blew out a puff of smoke. He tapped the tops of both his feet on the ground. They were both ready for a fight.

The smoke to clear and Sanji and Luffy were finally able to see who took down that giant tiger. It caught them off guard to see their faces. Luffy stepped back in surprise. Sanji immediately turned into his love-state mode. The two figures that stood before them were Dia-Nami and Dia-Luffy.

"What do you know. Usopp was right. A spitting image," said Dia-Nami. She looked completely different from the Dia-Nami they knew. This Nami wore a black tank top, dark brown and green camouflage pants and black combat boots. Her long orange hair was pulled back into a high pony tail.

"NAMI-SWAAANNN~!"

"Tch, there's no way that weakling can be my counterpart," said Dia-Luffy. He, too, didn't look like his counterpart. Apart from the obvious strawhat and the scar under his left eye, he wore a plain white v-neck shirt, over it was a black leather jacket, dark gray jeans, and black combat boots. He looked like a darker version than the original Luffy. Sanji turned back to normal after seeing Dia-Luffy. He eyed him then turned to Luffy.

"He makes you look like a fool," he said bluntly.

"I know," replied Luffy. Sanji rolled his eyes. Luffy ran over to his counterpart and started poking him. "Shishishi, sugoi! Are you my counterpart?"

Dia-Luffy yelped and ran behind Dia-Nami after feeling uncomfortable. Luffy blinked in surprise. Sanji also had the same expression. Dia-Luffy was shaking and hiding his face behind Nami's back. Dia-Nami rolled her eyes.

"Jeez, Luffy. Show some dignity. You look like a coward," said Dia-Nami.

"B-But, he wouldn't stop poking me."

"Then, make him stop poking you." Dia-Nami moved Dia-Luffy from her back and shoved him towards Luffy. Both Luffy's clashed, earning a bump on both their heads. Dia-Luffy held both arms up to block his face.

"Please, don't hurt me. You can take Nami just don't hurt me."

"Oi!" said Dia-Nami. Sanji turned back into his love-state mode after hearing Nami's voice again. He leaped into the air and danced towards Dia-Nami.

"NAMI-SWAANN~! Even if you're not our Nami, you're just as beautiful-"

Before he could finished, Dia-Nami kicked his face, slamming him to a nearby tree. Sanji's heart eye broke in half. Dia-Nami removed her foot and placed her hands on her hips. Sanji fell to the ground while having a goofy grin on his face.

"What's wrong with your Sanji? Our Sanji doesn't give a crap about women this much. All he cares about is his cooking. This one just seems like a playboy." Sanji leaped back onto his feet and got really close to Dia-Nami.

"Do you like playboys?"

"I hate them!"

Sanji gasped and fell on both hands and knees, feeling depressed. Meanwhile, Luffy and Dia-Luffy were having a stare down. When Luffy raised his left arm, Dia-Luffy raised his right arm. When Dia-Luffy spread his arms far apart, Luffy did the same. Both Luffy's pulled on their own cheeks and stuck their tongue out. Then, they bursted out laughing. Dia-Nami landed a blow on both their heads. Both Luffy's sat in front of one another while a large bump grew on their heads.

"Shishishi, you're not bad."

"Uh, ehehe. Same goes to you. Looks like us being complete opposites was just a sham. We're exactly alike. You're kind and good hearted, like me!"

"And you're fashionable and strong, like me! Look, Sanji! I have a twin! Shishishi!"

"So do I, dimwit. Anyway, why'd you kill our lunch? I was just about to cook it."

"Oh, we thought it was causing you trouble. I guess it was just a habit with us. We kill any Forest King we see and bring it back to base. But since we'll be helping you out, you can have it," explained Dia-Luffy.

"Huh? Helping us out?" asked Luffy.

"We heard everything from Usopp. If you wanna save Earth-Nami, count us in," said Dia-Nami.

"Really! This makes things so much easier."

"DIA-NAMI-SWAN'S COMING WITH US! NOW I DON'T HAVE TO BE ALONE WITH THIS RUBBER IDIOT ANY LONGER!"

"Huh? Rubber? What are you talking about?" asked Dia-Nami. Luffy grabbed his cheek and stretched it far.

"I'm a rubber man." Dia-Nami and Dia-Luffy screamed and backed away.

"What the hell is that?" screamed Dia-Luffy.

"It looks so disgusting!" yelled Dia-Nami. Sanji blinked after seeing their reactions. Luffy let go of his cheek and it snapped back into place.

"If your Luffy's counterpart, don't you have a devil fruit, too?" asked Sanji.

"What are devil fruits?"

"Y.. You're not a rubber man?" asked Luffy.

"Not that I remember," Dia-Luffy grabbed his cheek and tried to stretch it as far as Luffy could, but didn't work.

"So you're... normal?"

"Pretty much."

"Heh~? ...How boring." Sanji kicked the top of his head.

"ARE YOU SAYING US NON-DEVIL FRUIT USERS ARE BORING?"

"What are devil fruits?" asked Dia-Nami. Sanji smiled politely at her.

"They're fruits that gives the eater an unnatural ability, but it takes the eater's ability to swim. Take this idiot for example," Sanji grabbed Luffy's nose and stretched it far. "This idiot ate the gomu gomu no mi and can now stretch any part of his body."

Sanji let go of his nose and it snapped back. Luffy lost his balance and fell back on the ground.

"Sugoi, Earth has weird fruits like those. I wish we had that." Luffy sat back up with curiosity written all over his face.

"If you guys don't have devil fruits, then how is Brook alive? How can Chopper talk?" Dia-Nami shrugged.

"We meet them when they were already a talking skeleton and a talking reindeer. Luffy here already liked them from the start."

Sanji smiled. Even Red Diamond's Luffy had that feature. Luffy adjusted the strawhat on his head and got up. He grabbed his bag and turned to the others.

"We should get going if we wanna save Nami. We only have three days."

"Plus, we don't know where the others could be. If we don't meet any of the others by those three days, we still have Dia-Nami and Dia-Luffy. We're more than enough to stop the king and save Nami," added Sanji.

"Yosh, let's go!"

-x-x-x-

"Are these disguises really necessary? I feel out of place without my suit," Sanji hesitated. Before the team could enter the city, they had to change into disguises so none from the Royal Army would recognize them. As soon as they reached the city, they quickly entered a store to shop for clothes. Each one of their disguises was completely out of character for them, but Luffy didn't mind.

"Hey, I never said it was going to be fun. Look what I'm wearing. I feel like a fucking princess."

"A very beautiful princess~!"

Dia-Nami rolled her eyes. As the crew walked through the streets, they had to keep their heads down at all times. The Royal Army was lurking around in every corner and they had to keep a low profile.

"Where are they holding Nami?" asked Luffy.

"Town square should be down the street. It's where they hold the sacrifices out in public," replied Dia-Luffy. Luffy clenched his hands into fists. Holding the sacrifices out in public for humiliation? This country is sick as well as its king. Luffy raised his head up a bit when he saw a tall platform and people gathering around in front of it. Following the crowd, Luffy picked up his pace and started running towards it. The others followed his lead and ran behind him.

Luffy kept his head down as he ran, but managed not to run into any bystanders. His feet were quick and light as he sprinted passed the civilians, his team not that far behind him. Once they reached the gathering, Luffy smoothly snaked through the people so he can get a good look. He stopped right in the middle so no one from the Royal Army can see them. Luffy pushed back his hood. The others did the same.

Luffy's and Sanji's faces turned pale as they saw what stood on top of the platform. On top, was a diamond Nami. Her face showed terror and shock as if when she was casted with the spell, it surprised her and scared her. But that wasn't the only thing that caught their eyes. On both of Nami's sides were an unconscious Usopp and Robin chained to a giant 'X'.

"O.. Oi... what's going on here? What are they doing up there?" Luffy trembled.

"R-Robin-chan... Were they captured?"

"Shit..."

This chapter seems short, sorry.
