This fight wasn't getting anywhere, Zoro realized.

He doubted it would've even been a fight worth mentioning if they were in their own bodies (okay, maybe it would have been, but they would've won it quickly, Zoro was sure), but they weren't. Zoro's signature attacks weren't even a third as powerful as they should've been, and Usopp's jaw ached from keeping Wado Ichimonji clamped in place. Zoro thought that his crewmate should have stronger jaw muscles, considering how much he jabbered.

Then there was Sanji, who had gone and done exactly the opposite of what Zoro had told him to do. That damn Marine with Kuina's face- Tashigi- had gotten mad and knocked him out. Pathetic. Zoro knew love-cook could do better than that, if only he would get over himself-!

And now there was that woman. She was facing him now, sword drawn, pointed, but hesitant. She looked confused. Conflicted. Zoro didn't want to fight her, he really didn't, not when she was wearing Kuina's face, mocking him with her face. On some level, Zoro knew it wasn't actually her fault, but it was just so easy to blame-

"What's wrong with you?!" Ku- Tashigi, dammit, that dammed Marine woman- demanded, snapping Zoro out of his thoughts. Oddly, he and Tashigi seemed to be in a bubble of calm, considering the surrounding battle. It was as if by facing him, she'd claimed him as her opponent, and hers alone.

"What do you mean by that?" Zoro growled around Wado's hilt.

"You all…your fighting styles…they're all mixed up!" She glared at him, sudden and intense. "Why do you have that- that- mosshead's swords?!"

Zoro swore he heard Sanji laughing his ass off. Either the cook had revived, or it was in Zoro's head. Either way, the love-cook was an asshole. "These are my swords!" Zoro snapped.

Tashigi looked confused. "But- then-!" Her eyes widened, and her head snapped around. "SMOKER, SIR!"

"I'm a little busy, Tashigi!" Smoker yelled. Luffy was doing a good job of keeping the man busy.

"SIR! I believe the Straw Hats and the rest have swapped bodies!" Tashigi yelled back.

"WHAT?" Smoker roared, his gaze snapping to her.

"About time someone figured it out!" Whoever it was in the body with the burn scar- Ace? Zoro was pretty sure it was Ace- called.

Zoro's gaze focused on Luffy. His captain's eyes went wide, and his mouth opened in an 'oh!' expression. Zoro recognized that face; Luffy had an idea.

"Zoro!" Luffy yelled, forgetting Smoker and making a mad dash for Zoro. The fishman- Franky?- and Ace- Ace was the blond guy with the burn scar, right?- leaped on Smoker before the Marine could go after Luffy. The captain of the Straw Hats crashed into his first mate in what could almost be called a hug. Zoro assumed Luffy was trying to hang off his shoulders or something similar, but he'd forgotten to account for the fact that it was Ace's body crashing into Usopp's, and both of them nearly fell over.

"Luffy, kinda busy here," Zoro growled, gesturing at Tashigi with a sword.

"Glasses-girl can wait! I gotta tell you about something!"

"Oh, for-" Zoro grabbed his captain by Ace's hat and ran, out of the bubble of calm, back into the chaos of Marines vs pirates.

"Hey-! RORONOA, COME BACK HERE!" Tashigi yelled after him.

Zoro ignored her. "Luffy, what is it?"

"So," Luffy began in a matter-of-fact tone, "We're badasses."

Zoro snorted and ducked under a Marine's sword, slashing the man's torso in retaliation. "We are that," he agreed.

"And 'cause we're awesome, we can kick ass no matter what bodies we're in," Luffy continued seriously, punching a Marine in the face without bothering to look away from Zoro.

"We're cool like that," Zoro nodded, ducking under a punch and quickly placing his swords down to throw a Marine over his shoulder, grunting slightly from the effort. Damn Usopp's wimpy arms. Zoro picked his swords back up.

"Can they?" Luffy asked, pointing at the Marine that now lay at Zoro's feet.

Pieces snapped into place, and Zoro got it. "You want to use the genie's magic to bring this fight to a draw."

Luffy beamed. "I don't think they'd fight good in different bodies."

Zoro knew he'd followed Luffy for a reason. Just when he thought Luffy couldn't surprise him anymore, his captain pulled out some new move or power or stupidly brilliant idea, and Zoro was floored all over again. It happened without fail.

Zoro grinned ferociously. "Where's the lamp?"

"Sabo's got it!" Luffy said, pointing to where Koala's body and Luffy's body were cheerfully beating up Marines.

"I got this," Zoro told Luffy, "You keep kicking Smoker's ass."

Luffy's grin nearly blinded him. "Shishishi! Thanks, Zoro!" The captain hugged his first mate quickly (and tightly), then dashed back into battle, joining probably-Franky and probably-Ace in whaling on Smoker.

Zoro ran towards Sabo and whoever else it was. Which body was Sabo even in? Zoro knew they'd said their names, but he still couldn't quite remember. Ah, whatever.

Zoro slashed a few Marines to slide in next to Luffy and Koala's bodies. "Hey," he said casually, nodding.

"'Lo, Zoro," Koala's body said, just as casually, as she(?) crushed a Marine's shoulder. She(?) winced, shook out her hand, and cursed. "Damn, Koala's body isn't meant to use the Dragon's Claw so often…"

"Oh, yeah, you think?" Luffy's body said sarcastically, then gave Zoro a quick, jerky nod. It was really weird to hear his captain using that kind of tone.

"You're Sabo, right?" Zoro asked Koala's body, blocking an attack and quickly stabbing forwards.

"That's right," she (no, he) nodded, "What's up?"

"Luffy had an idea," Zoro said with a smirk.

Luffy's body snorted. "If it's as stupid-obvious as the last one, I'm going to scream."

"What, not take your aggression out on some poor nearby soul?" Sabo teased.

"Already on that," Luffy's body (who was that in there?…Koala, maybe?) smirked, "Besides, that's step two. As well as steps four, five, and six."

"What's step three?" Zoro couldn't help asking.

"Find a hard surface to slam my head against a few times."

Zoro smirked and side-stepped an attack. "Well, I dunno if it's obvious," he said, taking out the Marine who'd attacked him, "He wants to use the genie to bring this fight to a stalemate."

Sabo's eyes widened. "Oh, that's brilliant," he breathed. "Koala-!"

"Not obvious. I'm fine. I'm fine." Koala (hah! Zoro's guess had been right) said, obviously not fine. She missed a punch and a rubber arm went flying. Sabo moved to hold her in place so the recoil wouldn't move her.

"Ace punched himself in the face when he did that," Zoro remarked idly.

Sabo grinned widely. "I am never going to let him live that down." He reached behind his back and pulled out the lamp.

Zoro blinked. "Where-?"

"Don't ask, I don't know. Aeriasky! Show yourself- and, ah, please make it as dramatic and attention grabbing as possible."

Thunder echoed in the clear sky. A dark cloud formed directly over their heads, growing larger until it encompassed the battlefield. Lightning rippled through the clouds. The battle halted as everyone turned nervous, awed gazes to the sky. A funnel of wind formed, a tornado, and Zoro, Koala, and Sabo quickly backed up as it touched down right in front of them. The entire dark mass of clouds was sucked into the tornado, until finally, it grew smaller, formed itself into the shape of a person with a wispy tail instead of les, and solidified into the smirking genie.

"Ahhhh, I love it when I get to show off," the genie (Sabo had just said their name, Zoro knew, but it had slipped right out of his mind- Sky? Air-something?) said with relish.

"I was kind of expecting something else," Koala admitted quietly. The genie frowned at her.

"Whaddya want from me?" they asked, spreading their hands, "A musical number?"

"Well…"

"Never mind that," Sabo said quickly, "If you'll allow me-" he cupped one hand over his mouth and did something with Koala's voice, projecting it so it seemed to echo across the battlefield. "Alright!" Sabo called in that carrying not-quite-a-yell, "Your eyes do not deceive you! We have an actual genie on our side! We are on our last wish, and I'm sure we can think of some phrasing that returns us to our normal bodies while leaving you lot in each others'!"

Silence fell across the battlefield, except for the gigglings of the Straw Hats (mostly Luffy) and the tiny, scared sounds of the Marines. The genie smirked and puffed themself up. Literally. They grew bigger or something and floated up a little.

"What is it you're saying?" Smoker snapped out. Probably-Ace, Luffy, and probably-Franky were standing just a few feet away from him (Zoro figured they'd gotten off when Sabo was doing his not-quite-shouty thing), all three grinning gleefully. Tashigi had moved next to Smoker.

Sabo grinned, too, one edged with steel. "I'm proposing we strike a deal."

"With pirates and Revolutionaries?! Never!"

"Well, it's that or be in the wrong bodies for-possibly-ever…"

Tashigi hesitantly tapped Smoker's arm. "Sir? I don't think they're bluffing."

The genie shot the two Marines one of those creepy too-wide grins to drive home the point.

Smoker growled and chewed on his ever-present cigar. "What do you…propose?" He finally asked, forcing out the last word. He looked like he'd just sucked on a lemon.

Sabo spoke quickly but clearly, with a businesslike tone. "You allow us to get to our ships and sail away. Peacefully. You do not inform anyone else about this encounter- or, if you already have, you use whatever excuse you like to claim we escaped. Once we're on our merry way, far out of sight, we go back to being mortal enemies. You do not follow us as we leave." Sabo's grin widened into something vicious. "Or, of course, we swap you all."

"Fine," Smoker spat out, "Get to your damn ships and go."

"Nice doing business with you," Koala chirped, and like that had been some prearranged signal, the Marines began to scramble back, away from the pirates and the genie, and the Straw Hats (and the Revolutionaries, and Ace) gathered together, wooping and laughing.

"Thank you, Aeriasky," Sabo added to the genie, who reclined in the air, looking like a satisfied cat.

"My pleasure. The best kind of jobs are the ones where I don't have to do anything except float around and look pretty." They batted their eyelashes and struck a pose.

"Right…ah, could you stay out for a while? We still plan on using that wish."

"Sure, whatever."

"That was great!" Ace howled, laughing as he slapped Sabo on the back, "Their faces! That was almost as good as the time I managed to break into a Marine broadcast booth and pretended to run a news show!"*

"When did you do that?" Koala asked, looking interested.

"Eh, sometime when I was captain of the Spade Pirates. I think I still have some recordings lying around somewhere."

"You'll have to show me sometime."

"Okay, wrap it up," Love-cook's body (It was Nami in there, Zoro was sure) said, Sanji trailing after her. Zoro assumed Nami had woken him up. "Let's get back to Sunny and switch back."

"Hey, what about Striker?" Ace protested.

"Don't worry…Ace-bro?" Franky guessed. At Ace's nod ('you were just fighting with him,' Zoro thought), he continued, "We still have an empty dock on Sunny, Striker will fit fine in there, and if she doesn't, we'll find another way to bring her along."

"Okay," Ace nodded, satisfied.

"Just go!" Smoker yelled. The genie scooped up a rock and hurled it at him. It sunk through his head in a cloud of smoke.

"What?" they said in response to the questioning stares, "It begged to be done."

It wasn't long (although Smoker's grumblings made it feel longer) before they were all, genie included, sailing away on Sunny, with Ace's Striker docked below.

"I think that went well," Koala remarked brightly. Luffy laughed and nodded enthusiastically.

"Quite well indeed," Robin agreed with a smile and a nod.

"It was kinda fun!" Chopper (it had to be Chopper in Franky's body, who else made those eyes?) agreed happily, then gulped when Nami shot him a glare.

"Whatever," Zoro grunted, "Let's just wish back or whatever, I wanna be done with this shitstorm. Who's got a good way of wording this?"

The ship's occupants (minus one) thought for a while. The minus-one yawned and reclined in the air.

Ace snapped his fingers. "I got it." He stepped in front of the genie and took a deep breath. "I wish that we- all nine Straw Hats, Sabo, Koala, Hack, and me, Ace- were in the bodies we were in before Sabo found your lamp. And don't take away Sabo's memories!"

The last part came out quickly, in a rush of air. The genie smiled- not the too-wide smile, not a smirk- just smiled, simply, naturally, or as natural as a genie could be. "Well-worded," they said.

There was a flash of light.

*Ever read Spades On-Screen by Stormy1x2? Go check it out. It is the funniest One Piece one-shot I have ever laid eyes on.

*Bangs pots and pans together* ANYWAYS GUESS WHAT? I FINISHED TYPING UP THE LAST CHAPTER! NEXT CHAPTER IS THE END FOLKS!

...Well, the end of the story. I still have one more bonus for you all. But I WILL NOT be answering reviews after the next chapter, so if you want me to answer yours, you need to get them in now.

Anyways, enjoy this chapter, and I'll see you all tomorrow for the Final Chapter!
