Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece or Gintama

There wasn't much to say about Little Garden island; other than its dangerous, prehistoric residents who could devour buildings in a single gulp. And it wasn't every day that something fell out of the sky and landed straight into the T-Rex's nest. BOOM! A large human-pod shaped thing landed, and the lid popped, and what quickly emerged was something that made the mother T-Rex very mad. It was a bald man, with a toupee loosely hanging from his head. "COUGH! COUGH! Damn thing fell into my face! Caused me to crash into an asteroid!"

SNIFF! The bald man in the tan suit turned to the mother T-Rex. "RRRRRRROOOOOOAUGH!"

"Oh, excuse me, ma'm!" POW! One punch sent the dinosaur flying. With a proud, corny pose on a rock he said: "Sorry, but no being in any universe is a match for the Great Umibozu! Most powerful alien hunter in the universe!"

PLOP! A bird flew by and dropped his condolences on the bald man's head.

Gecko Island

Kagura felt a chill go down her spine; she shivered and drank some her of tea.

"What's wrong, Kagura-chan?" Shinpachi asked.

"Nothing. Just a chill." She said hastily.

"So if this is Syrup Village, does this mean this place is a giant pancake house?" Gintoki asked.

"What was that?" One of the boy's asked.

"Did you insult our village, pirate scum?!" The second one demanded, holding a fake wooden pirate sword.

"Boys! Boys!" Kaya scolded.

"Sorry Miss Kaya, but we promised Captain Ussop to protect you in his stead!" The third boy announced.

"And we won't let him down!" They declared. And held out their makeshift weapons.

"Calm down you lot! Have some decency inside Miss Kaya's mansion!" the group turned to a mild-mannered man, dressed as a lamb. He was carrying a hot-pot of tea and scones.

"Oh! Merry! Please come join us!" Kaya clapped her hands together.

"Certainly Miss Kaya." The lamb-man put the scones down and sat in another chair across from Kaya. The boys were on the floor between the chairs, while the Odd-Jobs group sat on the couch. They stared mutely at the three small boys.

"If the Queen of Kabukicho finds that her hair's been messed with, there will be vegetable soup to serve." She threatened.

GULP! They immediately put away their weapons, but still held their glare. Clearing his throat, Merry spoke. "I'm Merry, the head servant of this household; welcome to Miss Kaya's mansion."

"Ah. Thank you very much for having us on such short notice." Shinpachi stood and bowed politely.

"It's no problem, it's so rare we get visitors that I got excited." Kaya explained. "So what were your names again?"

"Shimura Shinpachi."

"Yato Kagura." The girl raised her hand.

"Sakata Gintoki. Thank you for having us young miss, but those brats have a point. It's dangerous to let strangers into your home, what if we had done something indecent?" Gintoki scolded.

"With the new Navy Base, nothing escapes." Merry sighed. "Honestly, the way the marines police this area is annoying."

"How so?" Shinpachi asked.

"They're extremely harsh on the twosnpeople, and extremely unreasonable when it comes to tax collecting; I'm afraid the whole town's going to go into debt at this rate." The blonde sighed.

Looking boredly, Gintoki turned his attention towards the kids. "So…you three are…?"

"Tamanegi!"

"Ninjin!"

"Piiman!"

"And we're the protectors of Miss Kaya!" They announced. "And the proud members of Captain Ussop's crew!"

"Captain Ussop?" Shinpachi asked.

"Eh. He's a friend of ours that used to live in this village, but he went off to become a Marksman for the pirate crew. They're actually quite famous now!" Kaya smiled brightly.

"Really? Who?" Kagura asked.

"The Strawhat Pirates!" The three children announced.

'Strawhat again, eh?' Gintoki and Shinpachi thought.

"So what brings you lot here? Are you beginning pirates as well?" Merry asked.

"No, we're not pirates at all. We do Odd-Jobs for anyone who can pay us or feed us." Gintoki replied.

"Odd-Jobs?" Kaya repeated.

"Eh."

"What kind of jobs do you do?" She asked.

"Anything really." Gintoki shrugged. "Gardening, reconstruction, renovation, destruction, cooking, security anything really."

"Oh that's perfect! Merry, isn't it great!" She clasped her servant's hands.

"EH?" The six other occupants in the room blinked.

"Sakata-san, would you please be my handyman?" Like any other protagonist in a series, the beautiful smile and eyes of a girl force any hero to say yes.

The Next Morning

Shinpachi groaned, wondering what method he was thinking of, would be the most painful way to kill. Once again, his idiotic boss got them into a ridiculous mess just because he couldn't say no to a pretty girl; at least they were getting paid this time. He was working in the garden, Kagura was working on the fence (painting it), and Gintoki was cleaning the gutter (and hanging off from the side). Shinpachi turned to the sound of a door slamming, and Merry walked out with some drinks.

"Here you are. Miss Kaya requested you receive fresh lemonade for your hard work." Merry smiled.

"Ah thanks!" Megane smiled and drank it up.

"Yay! Lemonade!" Kagura took hers in one huge gulp. "SECONDS!"

"Right away!" Merry nodded.

"Kagura-chan, don't be rude." Shinpachi scolded.

Merry turned to Gintoki, who still hung from the roof. "Would you like some as well, Mr. Sakata?"

"Yes, with extra sugar! Just set up the ladder so I can get down!" Gintoki demanded.

"Okay, I got it!" Kagura picked up the latter, and started whacking Gintoki over the head with it a few times.

"Stop! Gah! Kagura! What are you doing?!" The permhead demanded.

"Encouraging you to come down, uh-huh!" Kagura nodded.

"This isn't encouragement its assassination! You're putting an attempt at my life, aren't you?!" Gintoki accused; SLIP! Feeling his fingers ungrip the metal, he crashed into the hedge bushes below.

"Gin-san! I just pruned those!" Megane yelled.

"You're more worried about the plants than me?!" Gintoki yelled.

"Of course he is, Gin-chan; the plants serve a biological function vital to life, while you're about as vital as a dead crumpled leaf on the side of a windshield. No matter how many time the driver has the windshield wipers hit the leaf, it wont' budge despite all this so the driver actually has to pick it himself, because it's too stupid to fall off." Kagura said bluntly.

"How does a crumpled up leaf and a bush relate to each other?! How does that possibly relate in this argument?!" Gintoki demanded.

"Now, now, Miss Kaya's making enough for everyone, so no need for-" Merry was cut-off.

BANG! The group turned to the front gate; they saw the Onion group aiming their weapons at a guy in a suit. The guy in the suit was definitely a government official; his head was covered by a hat, had sunglasses, and was in a three-piece suit. He held a smoking gun at the children; the three Odd-jobs frowned. "Oi, oi, oi, no firearms around children; that's how school shootings occur."

The man looked up towards the group. "Merry-san…Nelson demands to know once again, Miss Kaya's answer to his proposal."

"I-I'm afraid she's still quite ill. She's not capable of act like marriage right now." Merry lied through his teeth. Gintoki observed the man and the official, this didn't look good.

"Very well." The man took note. "She has one week left to recover, if she is not well by then, then the Navy will proceed in taking right of this island. Do not forget that this village is the home of Sogeking Ussop; you're lucky it hasn't been clinched yet."

'Clinched?' Shinpachi thought.

"That is all. Good day." He lifted his hat and left. After he left, the group turned to a loud crashing sound; Kaya had dropped a plate of food in front of her, fear clearly written all over her face.

Gintoki stepped forward. "Oi, let's get inside, they've got eyes on this place. Shinpachi! Kagura!" Shinpachi quickly gathered the three boys, and quickly followed inside; Kagura moved a china cabinet to barricade the door. Once settled inside the kitchen, Gintoki allowed Merry to set the blonde girl down. After a moment, the permhead samurai spoke. "This isn't a handyman job is it?"

"No…I apologize, it's just…you didn't know anything about the turbulent relationship between the Pirates and the Navy, and I had also noticed that you carried a wooden sword. I do not know where you three come from, but it obviously isn't from here. Do you…know about the Marineford War two years ago?" Kaya asked.

"No, but we already got that the Pirates and the Navy are fighting over territory" Shinpachi was cut-off.

"It's not just territory." Merry interrupted. "It used to be about territory, but ever since that damned Marineford War, the World Government's control has been extended beyond proportions. After Strawhat and Fire Fist escaped with Whitebeard and his allies, the Navy and World Government went on a bloody rampage trying to find them; ever since, any area in the world even suspected of associating with pirates has a marine post or World government official stationed. They knocked down houses, killed millions of people, and have recently been tracking down the home-islands of major pirates. They're determined to wipe every bit of the Pirate Dream out. This isn't just about finding Strawhat or Whitebeard, this is about showing the world who the dominant power will always be, despite who wins a war. The Pirate Dream must be exterminated to them."

"Pirate dream?" Gintoki raised a brow.

"Eh. You know, from Gol. D. Roger-san's speech." Kaya explained.

"Sumimasen…we come from a different planet, so we don't know the recent history of this world, so could you please explain?" Shinpachi asked.

"Another planet?!" Merry, Kaya, and the Onion kids exclaimed.

"It's a long story." Shinpachi sighed. "You first please."

"Er…very well. About twenty four years ago, there was a man named Gol. D. Roger, he was king of the pirates, you see. He was the wealthiest and most feared man in the world, and at one point, was a direct threat to the Navy's power." Kaya explained hesitantly.

"Boring! Get to the point, we've heard this already!" Kagura complained.

"Yes! Anyways, when Roger was executed, it was broadcasted for all the world to see; it was meant to put the ambition of pirates to rest once and for all. But what happened was just the opposite." Kaya continued. "Right before he was struck, someone had asked him where his treasure was; he had said that his treasure was for anyone who could find it. This was the start of the Golden Pirate Age."

"OHH!" Kagura said, interested.

"Sugoi. Roger-san sounded like an amazing man." Shinpachi sighed.

"Must've been hella scary to be called 'King of the Pirates'." Gintoki shrugged. "So where do we find this treasure, anyways?"

"Why? You said you weren't pirates." Ninjin pointed out.

"Maybe, but with his money-managing skills; were impoverished enough to employed as decoys." Shinpachi pointed out. "Was there a name he gave his treasure?"

"Yes, it's called 'One Piece' and-"

"What a coincidence! We're looking for a one piece treasure too!" Kagura smiled.

"So that does mean you're pirates then." Merry said.

"NO! It means we're just looking for a one piece treasure, it's probably just a-" Shinpachi was cut-off.

"I knew you guys were pirates!" Piiman aimed his sling-shot.

"Wait! Wait! You don't understand! We don't want it! We're just here to retrieve it for a client!" Shinpachi tried to reason.

"Enough!" Kaya had her lips pursed, she wasn't happy by what she just heard. "I don't care if you're pirates or not but, my best friend is out in the world somewhere with a good man who actually takes this dream seriously, you will not mock it while in my house."

"Hai, we understand." Shinpachi nodded. "But in all honesty, we came to this planet in search of the treasure for the sake of a client. We aren't trying to step on toes here."

"Then please stop talking about it." Merry sighed.

"Fine, fine." Gintoki waved them off. "You're right we are pirates, we're the Odd-Jobs Pirates. Happy? Now what are you actually hiring us to do, lady?"

"As we've said, there's a stranglehold on the island, and at first it wasn't so bad. They collected taxes and nothing more, but now they've cut-off all Den Den Mushi lines, women have been disappearing, it needs to end!" The girl explained.

"When did the change start exactly?" Shinpachi asked.

"About a week ago. It was so sudden; the we're not sure why or what happened; all the men said was that there would be serious changes soon." Kaya explained. "But most recently…"

"That bastard demanded her hand in marriage!" Tamanegi exclaimed. "He said that if she doesn't hand herself over to him in marriage, then he'll just take over the island and force her anyways."

"Hm? What about all this justice-crap that the marines keep spouting?" Kagura pointed out.

"Seems as though they don't apply it to themselves." Gintoki grinned annoyed. "So…we get rid of this guy and his men, you'll pay us, right?"

"No! I don't want you to kill anyone, it's just-"

"If you three somehow manage to drive these brutes off this island, then we'll pay you $30,000,00 beri. What do you say?" Merry asked.

"YES!" Gintoki said instantly. "Let us at that bastard!"

"Here we go again." Kagura and Shinpachi groaned. And soon, plans were being discussed.

"So who's the stiff anyways?" Kagura asked.

"His name is Captain Royale Nelson-san, and he lives in his ship on the docks of the island." Kaya answered, shivering just thinking about him.

"Stupid name." Kagura shrugged, chewing on some sunboku.

"Eh. So what you three do?" Kaya asked.

"Well…you married?" Gintoki asked, earning weird looks from everyone. "Don't look at me like that! It's a legitimate question! You'll see in the next section! Now I need a silver ring and a formal hakama!"

The Next Day

The sun rose at Kaya's house, and a different, and sinister man approached the house with an evil gleam in his eye. He was a man of average height, well-built, slanty eyes, red hair, pale skin, and wearing a Navy uniform. He liked his lips in anticipation. He banged on the door of the mansion, Merry answered. "Yes?"

"I am Captain Minchey. I have come today to say that Nelson Royale-sama is fed-up with waiting and demanded to know Miss Kaya's answer today. So-"

"Oh that's already been decided; Miss Kaya's already engaged." Merry cut him off.

"What?" Mincehy repeated in disbelief.

"Yes. It happened yesterday; apparently he was the son of one of the carpenters that worked for the old master of the house, and is a childhood friend of Miss Kaya. He just came yesterday to propose." Merry explained.

"Impossible!" Minchey exclaimed. "Show him to me this instant!"

"Very well." Merry nodded. "Master Sakata…come out please." Out stepped Gintoki, dressed in a formal, black hakama and had a monocle.

"Sakata Gintoki present. Mr Naval Officer, what seems to be the problem?" Gintoki asked.

"YOU'RE THE PROBLEM!" He yelled, but then he smirked. "Actually, engagements or marriages cannot be conducted without the approval of Commodore Nelson Royale, to insure safety and proper procedure of course."

"I see. In that case, I better meet this Royal Nelly-san." The permhead said lazily.

"No. That's Royale Nelson." Minchey corrected.

"Yes, yes, take me to this Royal Nelly, so we can get on with the nuptials." Gintoki stepped out to Minchey was, and started dragging him away.

"WAIT! I still need to conduct a proper inspection, and I have tax collecting duty today!" He protested.

"Nonsense! These people are trapped n this island; it's not like they have anywhere to go." Gintoki pointed out. "Now let's go."

From the house, Shinpachi and Kagura watch Gintoki go off with that man; nodding to each other, they went forward with the next phase of the plan.

10min Later

Gintoki followed Minchey for several minutes before reaching a rather large Navy ship. Gintoki observed it carefully before following the captain on. There were about fifty soldiers surrounding the rim of the ship, and formed a clear path towards the center of the ship. Gintoki followed the Navy man forward before stopping shot of a guy, who had his back turned to him in a chair.

"Commodore Nelson Royale, this impudent man wishes to gain permission to marry your sweet Kaya. It appears as though he's a childhood friend." Minchey did a slight bow, and moved aside.

"Really now? Marry that beautiful blossom on this crappy island?" SPIN! Gintoki almost threw up from what he saw. In front of him was an extremely obese man, obese enough to be carried out by a fork-lift; he only wore a coat, had a pilgrim hat, pants stretched out beyond repair, a waving fan, and a large Navy symbol tattooed on his bulbous stomach. His face resembled a bullfrog; with the giant face with swirls on his cheeks, beady eyes, oily black hair, and red lips. The obese man frowned at Gintoki's gawking, and spoke again. "Speak. Who are you and what is your relation to Kaya-chan?"

"Err…I'm her childhood friend…and I wish to take her hand in marriage…and, I'm sorry could you excuse me a moment." Running to the side of the ship, Gintoki puked his guts out. The Navy officers stared at him, sweat-dropping. After a few moments, Gintoki rubbed his mouth and returned. "So yes, Nelly Royale-san, due to my family knowing her family and such, I think we would be a better match than you."

"It's Nelson Royale you imbecile! Now then, tell me your name!" He demanded.

"Sakata Gintoki. Son of a man." Gintoki replied.

"Minchey said you were the son of a carpenter?" The man rose a brow.

"Yes; an adopted son of a carpenter." The permhead clarified. "Good with my hands in every skill known to man, and especially to women. So…can I marry her then?"

"Let me think about it?" Nelson tapped is chin mockingly. "NO! Kaya, like the rest of this island, is mine! Now bow to my feet to beg for forgiveness and leave! You're no longer welcome on Gecko Island!"

"I'm sorry Royal Nelly, I'm from a back-water island called Kabuki Island, and we don't deal with complicated stuff like this. But I promise I will work hard to understand." The permhead replied.

"I'm not asking you to work harder! I'm just want you to stay out of my business!" Nelson was shaking. "And it's Royale Nelson! I'm not going to tell you again!"

"Yes, yes, I'll try to remember. But anyways, what if Kaya doesn't want to marry you? What if she's fallen madly in love with me, like I have her?" The permhead asked calmly.

"Hmph! I couldn't care less." The sudden atmosphere made Gintoki frown. "People lost the freedom of choice two years ago; the pirates may have gained their freedom only to cost everyone else theres. It doesn't matter how minor the island, every bit of territory must be covered! No pirate or revolutionary can escape."

"So it's all out war between the Navy and Pirates huh?" Gintoki concluded. "Elimination without prejudice and stuff like that? Funny, doesn't really seem like you care about any of that stuff."

"You're right. In all honesty, I don't give a damn about justice or the Navy; I'm just a simple man who has needs. And those needs can be met with power." Nelson sipped his wine.

Gintoki hid face below his bangs. "So in other words…you're just using the Navy to get what you want. What do you want with this island? No, what do you really want with Kaya?"

"Simple really. She's a beautiful girl and will be a lovely doll to my collection, but more than that…shean her family are the patrons of this island. I take her, I take the island." He snickered.

"I see then. Just one more question…Kaya-chan mentioned that this sudden change of authority was brought on a week ago. What brought on this sudden course of action?" Gintoki asked.

"HQ didn't say. All they said, was that things were going to change. Don't know, don't care." Nelson shrugged; he raised his hand and his men pointed their weapons at Gintoki. "Any last words, Sakata-san?"

"Nothing really…just advice." Rushing forward at one of men, he swerved his hand around to where he grabbed the buy's sword, and cut him down. Nelson and Minchey just stared in shock at how easily the permhead disarmed him, and took his sword. "When a woman says no, she never means yes."

Back at Syrup Village

Kagura and Shinpachi went around town with the kids, gathering people to follow them. They kept running, until finally, they reached their destination the town bank. They ran-sacked the shop, and found the safe. Cracking her knuckles, Kagura stepped forward and punched the steel safe open. "Go crazy everyone! Free money!"

"YAAAAAAAAY!" The people rushed into the safe.

"Kagura-chan…you do realize we essentially created make-shift anarchy right?" Shinpachi said with a sweat-drop.

Back at the Ship

"I believe the kids are getting the village's money back. And securing the rights to this island would be my job." He pointed his sword at the fat bastard. "So what's it gonna be?"

"W-Who are you really?! Minchey, do something!" Nelson ordered.

"W-What do you expect me to do?!" Stammered the cowardly man, he turned to the stunned lower marines. "Don't just stand there you fools, kill him!" But none of them men raised their weapons, either too scared or confused. "What is wrong with you?!"

"…Seems like your men are at a crossroads. To follow the road of morality or to follow the road of justice." Gintoki turned to address the marines. "I don't want to fight any of you, but if you try to go after these townspeople, I won't hesitate to cut any of you down."

Dropping their heads, the marines dropped their weapons; one of them spoke. "Sorry sir, but…we can't do this any more. It's wrong. These townspeople haven't done anything, it's just a minor island that just happens to be the home of a Strawhat crew member. It's no one's fault that happened."

"GRRR!" Nelson brought out a golden Den Den Mushi. "You've asked for it, you-"

"That's quite enough." Everyone turned to the new voice; Gintoki sweatdropped while the others saluted. "Don't bother sucking up you damned bastards; the next stop is landing you both in Impel Down."

"V-Vice Captain Momonga! W-What brings you here?!" Minchey stammered.

"Thank you for having the courtesy to broadcast your thoughts to me, it made things very clear about the communication lock on this island." The Vice Admiral growled.

The two bastards turned to Gintoki, who held out a Den Den Mushi triumphantly.

The Next Day

After talking it out, Momonga agreed to let the Odd-Jobs group go, despite the actions against him at Thriller Bark; not to mention the townspeople refused to let their heros be hauled off. "I'm not saying thank you, but…you reprimneded quite a blight in the Navy."

"Hai, hai." Gintoki waved him off.

"I catch you on the ocean again, you're going down Odd-Jobs Sakata." With that, Momonga stride away, leading his men, and Nelson and Minchey away in chains.

Kagura stared at Nelson, finally asking the question. "What'd the frog-guy eat, the Ugly-Ugly fruit?"

"Who knows?" Shinpachi shrugged, disgusted with the man himself. "At lest we can finally relax, and-"

"Ah. Thank you Miss Kaya." The trio froze and turned to the familiar voice of Zeff. He collected Kaya's reward money and counted it. "Congratulations. With this money, you only have a week left to work off."

Gintoki twitched before collapsing. "DAMMIT! FOR ONCE, WHY CAN'T I GET PAID!"

Review please! So at the beginning of the chapter, Umibozu was introduced, and he is Kagura and Kamui's father, as well as the strongest alien hunter in the universe. A joke in Gintama is how he wears a toupee to hide is baldness, but it always falls off, so his nickname in Gintama is 'Baldy'. For any questions, comments, or concerns, just review or PM me!
