Oyabun Luffy's Detective Story - Axe-Head Family, friends or foes?
Chapter 10 - Party

This is Grand Jipangu
It's very similar to an existing county and era…
Well, forget the details this time…
It's the New Year after all!

So this is Grand Jipangu

Although it's just turned the New Year, it's spring in this county
It's the season for the cherry blossoms to flutter
The world is finally at piece after a successful mission
and the two bars have decided to join together in the final night, but…

"NO WAY!!!" Oniri yelled at Onami as the two glared evilly at each other, creating sparks in between their eyes, again.

"That's the deal, we spilt the takings 90:10 to us," Onami told her, which just made Oniri angrier. "It's only fair after what you put us through."

"How can THAT be fair!!!" Oniri yelled at her again as the two continued to clash.

It was night time in Grand Jipangu and the two bars had decided to join forces for the final night. There was tables set up in the street between the two bars as well as lots of pretty decorations and lights to link them together.

"Won't those two stop fighting already!" Devon sighed as he sat next to Zoro with a mug in both their hands, looking over at the clashing women.

"Apparently not," Zoro also sighed before the two men clanged their mugs together and knocked back their drink.

"Ah, Oniri-san looks so cute when she's angry," Sanji declared as he looked at both the woman with heart eyes while DJ sat next to him with the exact same look on his face.

"So does Onami-san!!!" DJ declared as the two love-struck men continued to watch them.

"So, you've been a spy all along?" Chopper asked Kirsty as she just smiled and nodded at him. "SO COOL!"

"That's right, I'm sorry that I didn't tell you the truth before," she said to him.

"But you couldn't," Chizuru said as she sat above them on the roof, sitting next to her black haired partner, looking down at them as they all looked up at her.

"Are you ever going to come down from there?" Usopp asked them, as the black haired woman just let out a small chuckle and Chizuru just ignored him.

"At first, Axe and Devon had to become members, of Buggy's family, so that they could gain access and find out what they were planning, then us lot had to move in, to make sure the plan was working, and for that to work, Oniri, Herman, DJ, Dusty and Austin had to set up to become your rivals to keep an eyes on things, and they could do that by opening another bar across the street. Meanwhile Kirsty and me had to keep up the plan, as she acted as an inside agent preventing you guys from intervening while I acted on the outside teaming up with the royal official, Nico Robin, to see what we could find out, and also to keep an eye on things o make sure it ran smoothly. Once Buggy ordered Axe and Devon to attack innocent civilians as expected, it was straight down to business as all our separate missions finally came together to put on that stunt. We knew this was the only way for the plan to go full speed ahead as Axe and Devon were finally expected and we could go into the final phase of our set up plan. Only once it was over we knew could finally tell you guys the truth, and now that it is, let's have a party already!!!" she explained before everyone cheered and raised their drinks.

"Hey, has anyone seen Axe?" Kirsty wondered as Devon jerked his thumb over to another table.

"Ninty…Ninety one…Ninety-two…ninety-three…Ninety four…" Axe and Luffy called out as they knocked back a full dish of food and counted as Herman and Sanji, who had managed to tear himself away from Onami, were busy preparing food as they quickly ate it.

"When will they stop already!" Herman cried as Sanji shock his head.

"God knows!" he replied.

"Ninety-nine…ONE HUNDARD!!!" Axe and Luffy both cried out and they stood up, but then they both turned back to Sanji and Herman holding an empty dish out at them. "One more?"

"THAT'S ENOUGH!!!" the two cooks yelled at them, as Rikka, the veggie kids and Austin laughed as they were playing together.

"Hahaha, you're good," Luffy laughed as he sat down with a huge stomach next to Axe.

"Rock-hard baby!" Axe replied, slapping his rock like stomach. "You're not so bad yourself!" he said before standing up and turning to his family. "Right, I suppose we'd better be off…"

"OWW!!!" Everyone moaned at him.

"Eh? You're leaving already? " Luffy asked as he looked up at his new eating-buddy.

"We have to, duty calls," Axe explained.

"But Axe, I didn't given get to do my song yet!" Dusty moaned as she was up on the stage with DJ, who had a guitar in his arms.

"OI BASTARD! LET THE LADY PLAY!!!" DJ yelled at him.

"Song?" Chopper and Usopp wondered as Oniri nodded at them.

"Oh yes, she can be really talented sometimes, it was good for business," Oniri told him as Onami thought for a second.

"Is that right, maybe we should get musician," she replied before turning to look at her bar, which had a lot of hole in it form the times they had knocked Luffy through them. "As well as finding someone to fix this place up."

Meanwhile, over on the other side of Grand Jipangu, a large man wearing a short red kimono robe with yellow palm trees on it, and had light blue hair suddenly sneezed as he was surrounded by a family of his own.

"You are okay, Aniki?" a girl from the family asked him who wore a pink robe as she sat next to another girl wearing a yellow robe.

"Yeah…somebody must be talking about me!" he replied to her.

"Oh come on Axe!" Kirsty yelled over at him as Axe sighed in defeat. "Let her sing, she's been practicing ever since we got back."

"Very well," he sighed before looking up and grinning. "I suppose we could hang around for a little longer."

"YAY!!!" Everyone cheered.

"Alright now hit it!" Dusty told DJ.

"AYE DUSTY-CHAN!!!" DJ replied before he started playing.

"Shiriai ja nakute, Tomodachi ja nakute, Oretachi wa FAMILY!
(We're not acquaintances, We're not friends, We are all family!)," Dusty sang.
