HI! Thank you for your patience for this new chapter. I finally had time to sit down and write a chapter but I wish it was longer but it's cool. Think of this as an early Christmas present from me to you! :D
Oda owns One Piece and I only own Cherry and this amazing plot!
Once they reached the town center, they were greeted by a beautiful sight. On the left side there was food and on the right side barrels of alcohol with some people passed out next to them. Farther down they saw people dancing to the music coming from the stage.
"Wow, these people really know how to party," Cherry said with a smile.
"This is nothing compared to our celebrations," Nami said, "Right guys...guys?" Nami looked behind her and saw only Robin.
"I guess I'll never know," Cherry said with a laugh, "Don't be mad Nami…Let's party!"
Cherry grabs Nami arm and Nami grabs Robin and they ran to the sea of dancing bodies.
"Thanks for coming Mr. Soul King Brook sir," a woman said shyly.
"Please call me Brook," Brook said as he lifts her hand, "My dear, may I see your panties?"
The woman faints and is carried out on a stretcher.
"Brook, don't worry about her, she will be fine. Now this way to the stage," a man in a white suit said.
Brook follows the man to the stage with a hearty laugh.
"FOOD!" Luffy says as he looks at the piles and piles and piles of food. Luffy dives into the food and starts eating, "This is great," he said while stuffing in more food.
People around Luffy watched in amazement of how much food he was eating and expanding with each bite.
Sanji looked at Luffy and shook his head, "I'm going to have to teach him some public manners."
Sanji starts to lift his leg to kick some sense into Luffy until his eye caught a group of women smiling and waving him over, "Mellorines!," Sanji said as he ran towards them.
Usopp and Chopper pulled out some sticks and some baskets and started to dance.
"Give me the strongest thing you got," Zoro said to the man pouring the drinks.
The man looked at Zoro and smirk, "Alright sonny," he filled the bottle and gave it to Zoro.
Once Zoro took a sip he could feel a buzz coming on, "Old man, this is really good," Zoro said as he gulp down the rest of it, "Fill it up again."
The man smiled, "Sure thing sonny."
"Ow!" Franky said once he saw the dancing people, "Follow me…butt to the right, right hand on the waist, left hand straighten out, left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right, left, repeat! Ow, one, two, one, two, right, left, right, left, right, left, right, left, one, two, one, two," Franky then starts to roll his arms and ended in his super pose.
The dancing people looked on at Franky in amazement and decided to join him.

Kevin stood off to the side to watch Cherry dance happily with her friends. He felt himself smile but began to frown when he remember what Clark said earlier.
EARLIER
"Kevin," Clark said once they were outside the store, "I want you to watch her and once she is alone give her the letter."
"But what if she refuses to take it?" Kevin asked.
"Then you tell her if she wants to see Ms. Clow alive instead of dead then she will know what's good for her," Clark said with a wicked smile.
"Of course," Kevin said.
"Good…Let's go get Ms. Clow prepared Mark," Clark said.
"Finally some action, I was getting bored," Mark said with a creepy smile.
END FLASHBACK
"I hope Mark doesn't do anything stupid but knowing him anything is possible," Kevin said with a sigh. When he looked back for Cherry, she was heading towards his direction. "Well, I better get this over with," Kevin said as he starts to walk towards Cherry.
But luck was against Kevin as a woman step in front of him, "Can I help you?" Kevin said as he tried to walk around the woman.
"Yeah, you can," the woman then punched Kevin making him fall, "That's for you and your no good friends for not paying me," she shouted and kicked him again.
"Look, before you hit me again," Kevin said as he reached into his pocket for his sack of money, "This is all I have and please excuse them."
The woman took the money, "Sorry for punching you," she said while bowing and took off running.
"I am going to feel that in the morning," Kevin said as he held his stomach.
Once Kevin pick himself up he started cussing, "Clark is going to kill me for losing sight of her," he searches for Cherry in the crowd of people, "Found you," he said with a smile. As he got somewhat closer he stopped walking and felt his blood run cold. "Clark is going to kill Cherry," Kevin said.

As Cherry was dancing her mind was on something else…more like on someone: Zoro.
"Cherry…Cherry," Nami said while snapping her fingers in front of Cherry.
"What? I am not thinking about Zoro," Cherry said defensively.
Nami starts to smile wickedly and Robin laughs.
"Cherry, I didn't ask if you were thinking of him. I asked if you were going to pull him in for a dance since Brook is going to play some slower songs," Nami said with a chuckle.
"Oh, yeah, I can go and do that," Cherry said with a wave of her hand.
"Good but before you go…what kind of thoughts were you thinking about Zoro?" Nami said.
Cherry started to blush, "It was nothing," she said as she fought her growing blush.
"It must have been something sexual since your face keeps getting redder," Nami teased.
"Nami, be nice. You didn't see her teasing you when Luffy came over," Robin said.
"Thanks Robin," Cherry said as she saw Nami redden face, "I am going to ask Zoro to dance even if it means pulling him," she said with a smile, "See you later then."
Cherry didn't have to go far to find Zoro since his green hair stood out.
"Tiger, come dance with me," Cherry said once she stood in front of him.
Zoro took another sip, "Dancing is not my thing."
Cherry smirked, "Fine, I'll just make you come to me."
Cherry walked away from Zoro and started to dance.
"Like you can make me come to…you," Zoro said slowly as he watch Cherry sway her hips making him hypnotize.
Cherry smiled at Zoro and made her hips sway more and for extra measure she gave him a flirty look.
"My wife did that to me to make me come and dance with her," the old man said as he smiled at the memory.
"What did you do?" Zoro asked without taking Cherry out of his eye sight.
The old man laughed, "I got up and danced of course. How I miss those days and her," the old man said softly.
"I guess I am going to dance," Zoro said as he placed the bottle down.
Cherry closes her eyes and swayed to the lovely music. She opens her eyes as she smelled steel, "I knew you would dance with me," she said as she drapes her arms around Zoro neck.
"Whatever woman," Zoro said with a smirk.
As they danced, Cherry was surprised by Zoro moves.
"I thought you couldn't dance," Cherry said when Zoro dip her.
"I never said I couldn't dance," Zoro said as he brought her back up against him, "I said it's not my thing."
Now is my chance
"You know something Tiger," Cherry said as she played in his hair.
"What," Zoro said.
"Your face is lacking some color," Cherry said slowly as she inched closer to Zoro lips.
"Is that right? How do you plan to fix it?" Zoro said as he watched Cherry inch closer to him.
"This," Cherry whispers as she closed the gap between their lips.
"Well, will you look at that guys," Nami said as she sipped her drink.
Franky started to cry but said he wasn't crying; Usopp and Chopper cheered for Zoro; Luffy laughed happily for Zoro and wrapped his arm around Nami; Robin smiled; Brook stopped playing when he saw the kissing scene…but he doesn't have any eyes to see; and Sanji dropped his jaw.
Robin noticed Sanji distress, "Is something wrong Sanji?"
"How in the hell can that shitty swordsman be able to kiss such a beautiful goddess," Sanji said as he snapped his cigarette in two.
"Wait, you can see Cherry," Usopp said, "Tell me what she is wearing then."
"Dark jeans that shape her perfectly, a green shirt, silver earrings, and her hair was pulled back but stupid marimo decided to take it down and place his hand through it," Sanji said as he tried not to run over there and kick Zoro.
"I wonder if her curse is broken," Chopper wondered aloud.
Cherry pulled back slowly and looked at Zoro, "That color suits you Zoro," she said.
"There is only one problem," Zoro said with a frown.
"What," Cherry asked as she starts to frown.
"Your face is lacking some color too so let me help," Zoro said as he pulled Cherry closer.
"This is too close Zoro," Cherry says as her face starts to get redder, "People are watching us."
Zoro smirked, "Let's give them something to look at then."
Before Zoro could give the onlookers a show, Zoro picked up on a man speech, "Clark is going to kill Cherry."
Zoro looked up and stared Kevin in the face, "Who the hell are you," Zoro growled as he moved Cherry behind him.
"Hey, what's the big deal," Cherry said as her lips came in contact with Zoro back. Cherry looked around Zoro and felt her heart skip a beat, "Kevin if you are here then that means that Clark is near."
Kevin swallowed and handed them the letter, "I'm sorry for what you are about to read but I tried my best to not let Clark find you."
"It's okay Zoro, he is the one who helped me escape from Clark," Cherry said as she moved to take the letter.
Kevin gave Cherry the letter and turned to start running but he fell forward. He looked down at his feet and saw arms holding his legs, "A Devil Fruit user but where," he turned and saw fourteen angry eyes staring at him and a tall skeleton which he wasn't sure had eyes or not.
Cherry opened the letter:
My Pet,
Oh, how much I have missed you. Your pleading cries were music to my ears, your hateful looks made me want you, and when you became that blood loving killing machine it made me want to do some things. If you are reading this letter your friend, Ms. Clow, is in terrible trouble unless you come back to me and become mine forever. We will be waiting patiently at your house.
Yours truly,
Master Clark
Cherry felt fear go through her veins, "Zoro, he got Ms. Clow," Cherry said as she looked at Zoro with unshed tears.
"Don't worry, we will save her…isn't that right Luffy," Zoro said as he met Luffy eyes.
"Damn right, no one makes my friends cry," Luffy said.
########
Mark hid behind some people and caught Kevin and Cherry conversation, "So he was the one who help her escaped…Clark is not going to like this."
