A/n: Here is Chapter 12!
Chapter 12: The Mazoku, the White Baboon Man and the Straw Hat Pirates
After the Traveler Party left Gasara, they made it to Dlensiya in about one hour, to Zoey and Tatsuya's surprise, it was right near the edge of the ocean southeast of Gasara with some ships for fishing, the fish were like Sakawa's fish, delicious. (I may have made an error in the last chapter. Sweat drops)
"So this is the port town of Dlensiya. It kinda looks like Sakawa!" Zoey gasped as the Traveler Party looked around. "We might as well fill up our bellies while we're here." Sogreth suggested. "Yes. We can't go traveling on an empty stomach. Let alone a battle that may be horrible and/or painful." Ropple nodded. "Alright. Everyone, go around and explore the town. In about 5 hours we will meet up at the branch after we have lunch." Meladee told everyone. "Ok." Everyone nodded.
(With Kaname, Serena and Yukinari.)
"I see… So in order to make some good accessories, we need materials obtained from rare monsters or shops?" Yukinari asked. "Yes. Some accessories have special powers that may turn the tide on battle." A item shopkeeper nodded. Serena was in deep thought. "What's wrong, Serena?" Kaname asked. "Oh, I been thinking about something ever since me and my fellow Scouts met Zoey and Tatsuya. There's something about Zoey that seems familiar to me. Like I seen her in a favorite manga back in my world." Serena put her hand on her chin. "Huh… I wonder why." Yukinari nodded in agreement.
(With Amelia)
Amelia was walking around town, till a familiar voice from her world called out to her. "Well, if it isn't little Princess Amelia!" Amelia gasped, she knew that voice too well and turned to see Xellos smiling at her. "Mister Xellos! Are you here in-" "Vision too? Yes. Anyway, after we arrived in the world of Vision, I spent days looking for you. Who would have thought I meet you here! Is Miss Lina and her friends here?" "Yes. And we meet two people who are Travelers! Their name are Zoey Hanson and Tatsuya." Amelia beamed excitedly. "Travelers, eh? Lead me to them." Xellos asked with interest. "Okay!" Amelia smiled as she lead Xellos to where Tatsuya and Zoey are.
(With Sogreth and Zel.)
The two were at the inn. "Zel, there's been somethin I been meanin' to ask you. Why do you wear a mask and cloak?" Sogreth asked. Zel was silent for 50 seconds then he took off his mask and cloak. Sogreth gawked as he looked at him. "Sakes alive…" "I was once human till a certain scientist back in my world turned me into this… abomination…In my world, we spent days looking for the Claire Bible, a tome that can cure almost everything, even my chimera form, but… Ever since we arrived in Vision, I wonder if the Goddess of Destiny will deemed me worthy of being granted a wish…" Zel stated sadly. "So you're gonna ask the Goddess to grant you your wish of returning to your human form. Don't worry, the Goddess always looks out for people and I'm pretty sure she'll grant you your wish." Sogreth assured him. "Yeah, you're right." Zel smiled silghtyly.
(With Meladee)
"Chief Meladee! Welcome back to the port town of Dlensiya!" Mayor Ghanona smiled, Mayor Ghanona was a man in his fifties with a brown moustache and brown hair. "It's been awhile, Mayor Ghanona. Anything strange happening before we came here?" Meladee asked. Mayor Ghanona scratched his chin in thought. "Well, 2 days ago, a strange bunch appeared and some fog has appeared yesterday. It only appears at 12:00 P.M. which will occur in about 60 seconds." "Describe the bunch that appeared." Meladee asked. "Well, the first one wore a white baboon cloak, the second has a strange fan and the third was a child with a mirror. They could be anywhere in Dlensiya. I hope they're not hostile." Mayor Ghanona said worriedly. "Don't worry, Mayor. My Highlanders will take care of this problem." Meladee assured him.
(With Fukuyama, Kosame and Sarah.)
"Pervert!" A beastkin woman snarled as she slapped Fukuyama real hard. "Ouch." Sarah winced. Not too long ago, Fukuyama tried to ask a beastkin woman out and well, you know. "That's my boss for ya." Kosame sighed. The women saw Miroku being chased by an group of girls who seemed angry at him. Sango walked up to them. "Let me guess…" Sarah sweat dropped. "Yep… his usual." Sango sighed.
(With Eri and Tomoka and Ebi.)
"Darn it!" Tomoka growled as she lost another fish. Eri, Tomoka and Ebi took a boat to go fishing. "Don't worry, Tomoka. Remember, she who loses her cool, loses the battle." Eri assured her, Ebi said something in agreement. Suddenly, a fog kicked in. "That's funny. Meladee said this port town is fog free." Eri blinked. Then, Ebi noticed something huge and heading towards their way, Ebi panicked and made Tomoka turn to the direction it is facing. Tomoka's eyes widen in fear. "Paddle for your life!" She screamed. Eri has a question mark and turned and gasped in shock as she and Tomoka paddled for their life and got out of the object's way. The three took a good look at it, it was a ship with the head of a goat that is sun? They noticed the sail has a picture of a skull with a straw hat on it. "What the?" Eri gasped. "I think… it's a pirate ship! We got to tell the others!" Tomoka pointed out. Eri and Ebi nodded in agreement as they paddle the way back to Dlensiya.
(With the rest of the Traveler Party at the restaurant.)
Tatsuya and Yuno gawked at how much food Lina and Tenma have ate and they ate like crazy. Miharu was eating a banana calmly. Ropple shook his head at the two. Himeno and her family stared at the two while the Leafe Knights calmly ate their lunch. Zoey was drinking her tea, the rest was eating their lunch. "Ahem. Once we have filled our stomachs, we should head to the Nacht-Arikita Border. Once we cross it, we will reach Paulta." Ropple explained. "I agree. Once we gather enough supplies, we'll probably reach the border in about 2 days." Reina nodded in agreement. "Everyone!" Amelia waved as she and Xellos came in. Lina gasped as she saw Xellos. "Xellos! Where the hell were you when we were pulled into Vision!" Lina growled. "That's a secret." Xellos closed his eyes and smiled. "So, you're Xellos…" Sousuke stated. "Yes I am. I hear from Princess Amelia that Miss Lina and her crew have two Travelers, warriors from the real world." Xellos asked. Yuno grinned as she grabbed both Zoey and Tatsuya's hands. "Well, here they are!" "I assure you that Miss Hanson and Tatsuya are real bona fide Travelers." Ropple adjusted his glasses. "Uh… Hi…" Tatsuya meekly smiled as he waved. "Hmm…" He continued to stare at Tatsuya and Zoey. 'That's odd. If they are Travelers, I could have sense the aura of the Goddess of Destiny in them. Usually, the Goddess of Destiny gives Travelers her auras to show that they are Travelers, but I sense a different aura in these two, it's not the Goddess's, but it may be someone else's…' Xellos thought to himself. "Is there something wrong, Xellos?" Gourry asked. Xellos smiled again. "Oh? It's nothing."
Suddenly, they heard a loud "FOOD! FOOD!" And who came in the Dlensiya restaurant? Why, the famous Straw Hat Pirates of One Piece! Monkey D. Luffy sat down on a chair in a empty table, licking his lips. "How could you think of food at a time like this, you idiot!" Sanji sighed as he sat down. "That fog took us by surprise and when it cleared, a town was there. But the map said there was a town in about 3 days!" Nami said in disbelief. Roronoa Zoro just muttered to himself as he waited calmly for his drink. Tatsuya, Zoey and Yuno got a good look at them. They seemed out of place. 'I feel like I seen them before, on TV.' Zoey thought to herself. Tony Tony Chopper noticed the three friends staring at them. "Um… Guys, those three kids are staring at us." He said in a slightly scared tone. "It's obvious that they heard of the great Captain Usopp." Usopp puffed his chest proudly. "Liar…" Reina frowned as she got near her friends. Usopp lowered down on his chair in sadness. Saniji noticed Reina and his eye turned into a heart as he ran up to her. "Hello there! My name is Sanji, the cook of love! What's your name, beautiful swordswoman?" "Um… Reina…" She turned away, who could blame her, she has a beautiful body. "Damn Love Cook…" Zoro muttered. Nico Robin eyed Tatsuya and Zoey's weapons. "Hey, Robin, something wrong?" Franky, the shipwright asked. Robin shook her head. "No. It's just… those 4 people seemed like they're different from us." "Um… My name is Yuno." Yuno bowed politely. "My name is Tatsuya." Tatsuya grinned. "I'm Zoey Hanson." Zoey closed her eyes and smiled. "And my name is Reina." Reina stated. Gin and Fukuyama glared at Sanji, you can tell they are mighty upset that someone is moving on their turf. "Hi! I'm Monkey D. Luffy! I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!" Luffy grinned. That caught the rest of the party by surprise. Did he just say, pirates? Eri , Tomoka and Ebi came into the restaurant just in time. "Guys! We saw a pirate ship while fishing! They may be bad pirates!" Tomoka panicked. "Is that so?" Amara glared at the Straw Hat Pirates harshly as she got ready to transform, so did her fellow Sailor Scouts. The remaining party members who are not in the restaurant arrived just in time. "Um… We're not bad pirates, we helped people out." Brook, the skeleton musician tried to reason. "You're probably lying so you can raid this town…" Reina said coldly as she got her hand on her sword. Zoey however, recognized them. 'Those must be the Straw Hat Pirates of One Piece! Oh I got to calm this situation down somehow!' Zoey thought frantically to herself. "So, it's a challenge, eh?" Zoro growled as he gripped his three swords. Before a full blown fight can ensure, a woman came in yelling "The white baboon man is back!" She panicked. Inuyasha got up from his chair and growled. "White baboon man… It's him!" He ran out of the restaurant. "Inuyasha!" Kagome gasped as the rest of the party followed him. "Tatsuya, Zoey, Yuno, Reina, let's go!" Meladee shouted as she too followed. As Yuno and Reina left, the Straw Hats and the two Travelers stared at each other. "Listen, we don't have to fight. Why don't you help us fight the white baboon man?" Tatsuya reasoned. Luffy grinned as he pounded his fists together. "Sounds like fun! Come on, Straw Hats!" "But Luffy! …Oh there's no use arguing with you…" Nami sighed. "But you sure you kids can fight?" Usopp asked confusedly. Tatsuya and Zoey grinned. "We're Travelers, we can handle anything." The two Travelers exited. "Travelers…" Robin said as she was in thought before following her fellow Straw Hats to where the white baboon man is.
The Traveler Party and the Straw Hats made it to the town square where Inuyasha and his friends at long last spotted their hated foe, Naraku, destroying buildings, Mayor Ghanona was cowering in fear till he noticed the Traveler Party. "Chief Meladee! Please do something about this monster!" He pleaded. Meladee nodded as she and her friends stared at Naraku who noticed the party. "So, you're Naraku…" Meladee stated coldly as she gripped her twin blades. "Who's that guy?" Luffy asked. "That's Naraku… He's the person some of our friends are looking for. He has done bad things to them in the past that are painful." Zoey said seriously as she gripped her Traveler's Katana. "Inuyasha… I see you made some new friends." Naraku smirked evilly. "Shut it, you bastard!" Inuyasha growled. "Just what are you planning to do in Vision!" Kagome added. "Oh, I have many plans to plan in Vision and my master plan involves killing the Goddess of Destiny, but I don't think I can do it alone, so I must seek some new allies to help me realize this goal." Naraku grinned evilly. "Not in your life! As long as the Highlanders, the sworn protectors of the Goddess are around, you won't lay a finger on her even if you do find her!" Yuno growled as she got her bow and arrow ready. "So this Goddess of Destiny or something is powerful?" Luffy frowned as he doesn't like the way Naraku thinks, so he got into a battle stance so did his crew. "We won't let that happen!" "Heh. I don't have time to deal with you now… Kagura, your time has come!" Naraku ordered as Kagura ran up to him, but when Tatsuya and Zoey and their friends look at her, she doesn't seem too happy to see Naraku. "You will deal with these pests while I look for new allies." He issued as he vanished by a black mist. "…As you commanded." Kagura said bitterly as she faced the party. "So who are you?" Kaname frowned as she got her harisan ready. "My name is Kagura. If I disobey Naraku, he will kill me!" She got out her fan. "Hah! As long as there're two Travelers on our side, you'll be begging for mercy!" Tomoka taunted. "So, you two children are Travelers from the real world…" Kagura said in awe as she stared at Tatsuya and Zoey. "Yeah, so prepare to get beaten by two Travelers!" Yuno shouted as she got her bow and arrow ready. "it doesn't matter! If I disobey Naraku, he will kill me!" Kagura gritted her teeth as she got out her fan. "Huh?" Luffy has a question mark above his head. "We'll explain later! Here she comes!" Miroku shouted.
Boss 8: Kagura
"Dance of Blades!" Kagura shouted as she launched her attack at the Traveler Party, they dodged it. "Tatsuya! Let us try a Unity Attack!" Ropple suggested, Tatsuya nodded and the both of them yelled "Holy Blade!" Tatsuya fired a shot from his Traveler's Sword at Ropple's rod, it emitted a holy light as Ropple swings it and launch a powerful blade of light at Kagura, hitting her for massive damage. "Damnit!" Kagura growled as she fired more wind blades at Eri, hitting her but she recovered. "Gum Gum Rocket!" Luffy shouted as he stretched his arms and gave Kagura a double punch. Kagura retaliated by launching a tornado at the party. "Knee Palm Kick!" Eri rammed her knee into Kagura, giving her some medium damage. "Pink Scar!" Zoey and Inuyasha yelled as their launch energy blades and combined into a pink and yellow blade and it hit Kagura for massive damage as well. Zoro rushed at Kagura and slashed her three times with his three swords. Nami got out her staff and whacked Kagura and got out of the way as Lina launched Magana Volt. Kagura hit Kagome with her wind blade, but Kagome countered by firing a Sacred Arrow at her. "Roundhouse!" Sogreth hit Kagura three times. "EX Storm!" Ropple launched a tornado at her, for some medium damage. "Squall Cut!" Meladee slashed Kagura three times before Kagura blows her away. "Sniper's Eye!" Yuno fired her arrow at Kagura, hitting her for some small damage. "Hiraikotsu!" Sango launched her boomerang at Kagura who ducked. Sanji gave Kagura a spinning kick with Miharu launching a EX Frost at her. Robin used her powers to make 5 hands appear and grabbed Kagura. Kaname and Amelia combined their attacks to hit Kagura for some damage. Reina rushed at Kagura and yelled "Heaven's Tear!" Reina made a x slash that gave Kagura some medium damage. Kurumu rushed at Kagura and slashed her with her claws. Moka in her Unleashed form rushed at Kagura and kicked her nine times with Kokoa and Gin in his werewolf form adding more hurt to her. "Let's finish this! Megaspark!" "Lightningspark!" Tatsuya and Zoey combined their attacks and hit Kagura dead on.
Kagura staggered and held her chest. "Kagura… Why did you say if you disobey Naraku, he will kill you? Do you have a grudge against him or something?" Tatsuya asked. "It's because he has my heart…" Kagura stated. "Huh?" Yuno asked. "I never like what Naraku do to people, but there is nothing I can do about it. I pray you and the mutt can kill him someday in this world." Kagura stated as she used her feather to fly away. The Traveler Party was silent.
After that, the party explained their mission to the Straw Hats.
"So, Tatsuya and Zoey are Travelers from the real world and they need to find five gemstones to ask this Goddess of Destiny to grant them their wishes of making Bridget and Miki better and we are Otherworlders?" Nami asked. "That explains why we're not in the Grand Line anymore." Franky nodded. "Alright!" Luffy grinned. "We get to go on a adventure where we will get our wishes granted! I say we join Tatsuya and Zoey and their friends on their quest!" "But…But what about the Thousand Sunny?" Chopper stammered. "Don't worry." Meladee smiled. "I asked the mayor to look after it while you're gone. It's in good hands." "Thank you Master Highlander." Robin smiled. "So, where to next?" Lita asked. "Well, there's a village called Falinaiy north east to where the border is, let's go there." Tatsuya looked at the map.
And so, the Straw Hat Pirates joined the Traveler Party. But the threat of Naraku still looms.
