One Piece: Rise of the Pirate Queen
Last time on One Piece: Rise of the Pirate Queen, while on Sandy Island the crew meet with the king and queen of Alabasta as well as their daughter Titi and Mika's twin brothers, Ace and Sabo. Unfortunately, the kids were kidnapped by the SDM Group, the Seven Deadly Mercenary Group, having posed as palace servants only to accomplish their mission hired by Cadrid. Furious, the Hurricane crew lead the way to rescue the kids with the marines and Royal Army following slowly behind. Now the crew has met with the SDM Group and the battle to rescue the kids in on it's way. Will the joint marine-Royal Army arrive to arrest the crew? And what is happening with the Torrio group?
Match Off!
Battle in the Ruins
SDM Group vs. the Hurricane pirates
"Pheuh!" roared the mighty dromedary elephant as he stomped through the desert leading the marines and Royal Army in an effort to rescue the princess and her friends. All of the Royal Army that was sent out were eager and ready to fight whoever it was that kidnapped their beloved princess and the twins. The marines, small in number, were rather restless wanting avenge their commodore's pride. Meanwhile the current commanders of both military powers talked amongst themselves and some of the more higher up marines.
"What can we expect from the Hurricane pirates?" asked Chaka in mock curiousness, keeping up the lie for the both the crew and the palace's protection.
"From what I saw at Loguetown," said Justin as he collaborated with the head of the Royal Army. "their captain has a devil fruit one that allows her to produce electricity though not become it, so she's not a Logia type. They have a man that fights like a boxer, but it quicker than a blink of an eye."
"Mach Boxing." commented Chaka supplying a bit of information having watched the man fight. Justin nodded agreeing with the man though not questioning how he knew.
"Then they had a female sniper wearing a cloak with strange tribal symbols on it. I was able to see one female with brown hair, though I don't know how strong she is. A Fishmen that uses an anchor as weapon. And apparently they've added one other member how looked rather much like a fighter."
"Hold on, isn't there a seventh member?" questioned Chaka actually curious as to why the marine left out Drake.
"He is to be listed only as a possible a misguided citizen only to be captured and then reeducated." stated Justin sternly surprising the tanned skin man. With the matter on the crew's strength accessed, everyone began planning. Chaka joined in from time to time, however, it seemed more of a marine talk which he felt he had no say in. As he watched out towards the horizon, he contemplated his own plan to hopefully save the crew.
"Sir! Something's heading our way!" Chaka looked back seeing a marine officer pointing out something out in the distant behind him. Both Chaka and Justin took the time to check and see what the marine was talking about as they too looked off the edge of the canopy back towards Alubarna. Coming in from the sky, a large bird came soaring towards the huge elephant. As the figure got closer, Chaka recognized it as Pell.
"Don't worry, it's just Pell." stated Chaka with a smirk. A few moments later, the falcon man came soaring next to the canopy coming in close. "What are you doing here Pell?"
"Just thought I go ahead and lend a hand." said Pell giving Chaka a silent message through eye contact. Being comrades for so long, they both knew how the other worked.
"Good." nodded Chaka getting the real message. "Make sure everything goes well."
"Got it." nodded Pell as he soon took off faster and flew higher into the sky.
"So we have an eye in the sky?" asked Justin to the captain of the Royal Army curiously. Chaka nodded a no to the question as he turned to address the young marine captain.
"Pell is more than just reconnaissance, he's this countries strongest warrior. He will do his job well." Justin was impressed by the man's faith in his comrade, and decided to trust the man's judgment unaware of what was really happening. As everyone continued with the planning, Chaka decided to return back to staring out into the desert. However, he looked slightly up seeing a yellow dot gaining far ahead of them.
'Good luck.' silently thought Chaka to all the crew.
At the Port of Ruins
"Are you the CDS's leader?" The scene returned to the crew as all, but Drake, began facing the mercenary group that was hired to kidnap the kids. We turn to Mika quickly mistaking what the group name was as she, Akio, Nicole, and Nore looked upon Pride, the leader, Lust/Nela, Wrath/Ty, and Sloth/Yoyo. The man only chuckled amused at the girl.
"SDM. And yes, I am."
"Then you're the one that needs to know his place." stated Mika seriously as she grabbed her sword, Inazuma Akuma, and unsheathed it ready to fight.
"You can try 'Spark Fist'." toothily grinned Pride as he removed his hood revealing a long golden mane and a human-like lion face. "But I pride myself at being the best."
"Well prepare to get your ass kicked!" Mika launched herself forward her sword ready for a regular slicing attack. The lion man only smirked as he jumped away from the girl her attack missing in the process. "Hold Still!"
"Catch a lion by the tail." The lion man jumped back further into the ruins egging on the pirate captain. Without a second thought, Mika went charging in after him.
"Mika!" shouted Akio as tried to follow after her. Ready to activate his speed to follow, however, before he could Wrath/Ty appeared before him armed with two swords as he blocked the first-mate's path.
"Your fight's with me." said Wrath/Ty calmly but serious as both men met eye to eye.
"Out of my way!" shouted Akio rather angry as he launched one of his gloved fists. Wrath/Ty quickly dodged the regular punch and ready to slash.
"Akio!" shouted Nicole distressingly as she slipped off her duck. Meanwhile, Nore flew past Nicole as he went to aid Akio.
"Mach Step." All three nakama heard the familiar attack with Akio actually saying it, as Sloth/Yoyo disappeared and reappeared randomly heading towards Nore. Nore froze in his spot as the quiet man appeared just in front of Nore. "Mach Left."
"Chom Marnfa!" Nore blocked the left speed punch with a high kick towards the face. Sloth/Yoyo stopped before the kick reached his face.
"Nore!" shouted Nicole as she stood nearby the birds.
"Mach Jab!" Akio reappeared behind the swordsmen as he attacked, however, the man simply stepped to the side without looking back. Akio was shocked, but had no time to ponder as the man went to slash his arm. Akio quickly reeled back, but the man followed through with a side slash from the other.
"Akio!" shouted Nicole as walked away from the ducks.
"Nicole!" Hearing the kids scream, Nicole turned to see a bo staff come crashing down on her.
"Ahhhh!" Nicole swiftly dodged the staff, scaring the ducks away. Holding the staff was Lust/Nela, as she looked frustrated at the brown-haired women.
"Dammit, just hold still." grunted Lust/Nela as she brought up her staff and aimed it towards Nicole.
"Wah-ah-ah! I'm not really a fighter." shouted Nicole frantically as she tried to reason with the pink-haired. "I really don't like violence!"
"To bad sister because you got one!" growled Lust/Nela clearly not in a good mode. She then went to make her move as Nicole sat on the ground scared. "Now just fall!
"Ahhhhhhh!"
"Nicole?" Ryuudo looked back into ruins hearing Nicole screaming in distress.
"I guess the others have started?" questioned Greed as he also took notice of the cry. Instantly, almost like instinct told him to, he started to run towards the ruins as fast as he could to protect the young chef.
"Ryuudo! Wait!" Ryuudo stopped his action and looked over to Lena who seemed to need him desperately. Ryuudo looked at the girl shocked though he knew why she called out. "I need you here!I'm sure the others are taking care of her as best the can, but you know that this has to be done!"
"Lena." spoke Ryuudo surprised at what the young teen said, but he knew that she was right.
Flashback: back at the palace earlier that same day.
"Mika. Mika!" shouted Nicole as she and the crew followed behind their captain as she walked back to their room. "Wait! Mika!"
"This is not good." stated Vivi following with the crew. Vivi may not have seen much of Mika's father, but she knew full well that if anyone threatened his family or friends would be meet with his rage. With Mika, it was like looking back at the past. "Mika, we need to think of what to do next."
"I do have a plan!" shouted Mika furiously as she pushed the doors back open entering the crew's room. A simple answer, much familiar to another person's answer. "We go after them and kick their asses!"
"Right." nodded Akio knowing what the captain was intending to do. He then turned to the other two females in the crew. "Lena, Nicole, go change. We'll do so out here."
"Uh, sure Akio." said Lena rather confusedly. Nicole nodded and the two girls walked in with Mika.
"Wait, Akio we don't-" Before Ryuudo could speak his mind, a ball of clothes came flying out with Akio catching it.
"Thanks Mika." smirked Akio not looking back on the girl.
"Don't slack off." spoke Mika flatly as the doors closed giving the girls some privacy.
"You heard the captain, let's hurry." Ryuudo was a bit shocked but nodded along Nore nonetheless. Vivi turned away from the group giving them some privacy in changing right as Chaka, Pell, Kohza, and Cobra caught up with the queen.
"I guess Mika won't listen to any plan we'll have." questioned Cobra ignoring the men changing their clothes behind his daughter.
"Can you really blame her." spoke Kohza sympathetically. The rest of the group nodded in understanding.
"Well, we can at least help them." stated Chaka with a devious smirk. The group looked at the head of the army curiously though Pell knew where he was going with.
"What do you mean Chaka." The group looked back seeing the male crew finished dressing Akio being the one to speak. At the same time the girls stepped out all of them wearing clothes for battle.
"Do you think we here at the palace are gonna sit by while the princess and twins are endanger are we." smiled Pell addressing the crew. The crew looked curiously at what the palace guards were saying while the royalty finally caught on.
"Of course not!" shouted Cobra acting like a king he once was. "We have to send the whole army out to rescue them!"
"Huh? Really?" questioned Ryuudo confusedly. The royalty looked back on the pirate crew with a smile.
"Uh, what's going on?" asked Nicole speaking on behalf of the other confused girls.
"The king and queen are going to lend us a hand." stated Nore catching the group up.
"Indeed, the princess and her friends have been kidnapped, we can't just sit by and let pirates have their way." followed up Pell confusing the group further.
"Uh, aren't we the pirate crew that kidnapped them?" said Lena recalling what the marine report had said.
"You." Cobra approached the crew with a devious smirk on his face. "You are the famous Super Spot-Billed Duck Squad."
"Eh?" questioned some of the crew.
"Ah, I get it." smirked Akio as he caught on.
"What do you mean?" asked Nicole still not seeing what they were saying. Nore then seemed to have gotten quickly and came up with a simple analogy.
"When in Alabasta, do as the Alabastains."
"Exactly." smiled Vivi as she approached the crew. "We're going to disguise you as members of the Royal Army's first Super Spot-Billed Duck Squad."
"And your first mission is to rescue the princess and her friends." smiled Kohza.
"What! Really?" gasped Mika excitingly as she walked up to her aunt happily."We get to ride Carue and those other ducks!"
"Yes, the Super Spot-Billed Duck squad are one of the fastest in all of Alabasta. You'll be able to catch up with the kidnappers in no time." stated Chaka in confidence.
"I will get them prepared immediately." stated Pell as he walked away heading for the stables.
"I'll give the marines a call and tell them we will be sending some aid." announced Kohza as he and Chaka left the group. "We can't have them arresting the wrong people now."
"Thank you." smiled Nicole. Vivi then turned to address the crew as did her father.
"If you all are ready, let's retrieve your gifts." stated Vivi receiving a nod from the whole crew.
"Yosh! Are they gonna help us?" questioned Mika surprised.
"Yes, and I think they will quite helpful in your fight against the kidnappers." Mika smiled at the idea, however, their was small gasp from behind. Looking back, the crew looked at Nicole who seemed worried.
"F-Fight." stuttered Nicole taken back at the idea of fighting. Ryuudo instantly remembered that Nicole despised violence, asking her to fight would be next to impossible. "I'm sorry, but I don't fight."
"Really?" questioned Vivi rather surprised.
"I think maybe I should-"
"Nicole." The young chef stopped as she heard her captain speak to her. Mika turned to Nicole, a rather plain look in her face, and approached the chef. Nicole looked at the younger girl curiously wondering what she was about to say. Mika stopped in front of her staring her right in her eyes. "Nicole, you will be fighting."
"W-What?"
"Mika!" shouted Ryuudo coming to Nicole's aid but was grabbed by both Nore and Akio. Ryuudo looked at the two threateningly, but they remained undeterred.
"Just wait a minute." said Akio holding Ryuudo down. Ryuudo looked over at Nore, who also had the same thought on the situation. Ryuudo decided to silence to Akio, but only if Mika doesn't upset Nicole extremely.
"Mika, please. I can't do much even with my powers. I know there's fighting capability in it, but I just can't." said Nicole discouragingly not wanting to disappoint her nakama but felt like she couldn't do anything.
"I know you don't like violence," Nicole looked up to her captain as her eyes were hidden behind the shadow of her hair. "and I wouldn't ask you to fight unless if it weren't important. But-"
"Mika." What Nicole saw in front of her shocked her. Mika, usually strong and never showed weakness, was now crying in front of her. The action seemed to have even surprised the other members of the crew.
"Please Nicole, we have to save my family!"
Flash in
"Aw, worried about your girlfriend are we." Both Ryuudo and Lena looked over to the man known as Gluttony/Zeichi mocked the half-Fishmen. Neither of the two liked the man's comment.
"Leave them alone, Glut." shouted Greed/Don as he walked forward unamused by the man's comment. "Stay focus on the fight."
"Yeah, yeah." said the man unconcerned.
"So, how should we do this?" asked Ryuudo to the small teen.
"Well, it's three against two. Not in our favor, yet that green-haired guy hasn't shown up yet." said Lena analyzing the situation. Meanwhile, the two partners were positioning themselves around the two nakama.
"Let's go!" shouted the two mercenaries as they launched forward towards the two. Expecting such a attack, Lena backed up now standing in front of Ryuudo. Ryuudo knew what she was planning and prepared to catch the two fighter's punches. Meanwhile, Lena pointed her pistols at both men.
"Not so-"
"fast!" What came next surprised both nakama. As Gluttony/Zeichi moved forward his form grew bigger, his skin turned a purple-brown color, and his mouth grew out. Meanwhile, Greed/Don was suddenly covered in black looking almost metallic. Both nakama gasped as they now looked on to the newly transformed fighters.
"What the!" shouted Lena dropping her guard. Thinking fast, Ryuudo grabbed the sniper girl and ducked forward as the two men punched each the others fist.
"What just happened?" questioned Lena as Ryuudo rolled off Lena as the two stared at the fighters they thought were just human.
"Heh, I guess you didn't know." smirked the now blackened Greed/Don as he looked at the shocked Hurricane pirates. "You see some of us ate a devil fruit. I ate the Shield Shield Fruit. I'm a Shield man, I'm invulnerable to all kinds of attacks."
"And I ate the Hippo Hippo Fruit. Now I'm a Hippo man." informed the transformed hippo man with his voice now deepen.
"Two devil fruit users!" shouted Ryuudo in shock as he stood back up followed by Lena.
"Man, I wish I could've eaten a devil fruit." whined the voice of Envy/Arkan somewhere nearby making the two mercenaries sweat-drop.
"Shut up Envy and get to work!" roared the hippo man.
"Damn, it would be our luck to get the devil fruit users." complained Lena cursing their luck.
"Oh, we're not the only ones." stated Greed casually surprising the two.
"What?"
"Yeah, they're actually only three of us that didn't eat the devil fruit."
"Really?" mused Lena finding the information slightly useful. She then looked around trying to spot the third member of the group they were fighting. "So I'm guessing the other guy doesn't"
"Stop mocking me!" shouted the whinny voice of Envy somewhere in the ruins making all the fighters sweat-drop.
"Ah yeah." nodded the hippo man as he stomped forward. "But they make up with truly impressive skills."
"Whatever," The two men looked at the half-Fishmen interestedly as he seemed unamused by the information. "our nakama are strong they won't fail with the kids on the line."
"By the way, why are you guys trying to rescue the kids?" asked Greed/Don curiously. "Hell, I don't even know why you guys were even in the palace."
"It's complicated, but unimportant for you to know." stated Ryuudo rather sternly as he picked up his stance. "You kidnapped our friends so you're gonna pay."
"Big talk from a little man." chuckled Gluttony/Zeichi as he stomped forward trying to intimidate the half-Fishmen. Ryuudo only chuckled at the hippo man's attempt.
"At least I'm all muscle, your mostly fat." The area went silent suddenly as Greed/Don froze in fear while Lena looked at him confusedly. As Ryuudo stared at the hippo man, he saw the man grow quiet as his eyes were shadowed.
"You shouldn't have said that." stated Greed/Don fearfully as he stepped back a bit. Lena turned back to Ryuudo as he looked a bit fearful at the hippo man. Instantly, Lena knew was was going on.
"Ryuudo?"
"I'm Not Fat!" roared the man as he suddenly charged at the the two nakama. The two separated as the hybrid chomped his jaws. Seeing that he missed, he quickly turned to Lena as his induced rage missed with his thinking. "I'm Big Boned!"
"Tell Him That!" shouted Lena frantically as she pointed to Ryuudo behind the man. He did not listen and once again charged. Lena panicked as she tried to aim at the raging hybrid. As he jumped to attack, Lena flinched closing her eyes as she waited for the inevitable to come.
"Lena! Get Out Of Here!" Hearing Ryuudo's voice, Lena opened her eyes to see the hippo man being held back by the half-Fishmen in an half-nelson.
"R-R-Right." nodded Lena nervously as she quickly picked herself up and ran towards Greed/Don.
"Wait! Hold on! We don't have to fight, sweet-"
"Bullet Bomber!" Lena fired on the smooth talking man hitting him with an explosion of fire sending the man back into a rock slab. Lena kept her eye on the man, as he got right back up unharmed and smiling.
"Nice try, but you'll need more than a small explosion to break my ultimate defense." smirked Greed/Don as he brushed off the sand.
"I've got all kinds of bullets," smirked Lena as she took aim at the blacken man. "I'm pretty sure one of them can pierce that defense of yours."
"We shall see, beauty." The man then rushed forward as Lena fired away.
Somewhere in the desert
"How long until we reach our destination, boss?" asked one of the gruff looking men wearing business like clothing as he and many others rode in the Accellegators. Who he was addressing now had his hod down revealing his light brown hair cut short, a scar across his unshaven face from left to right, and his eyes a murky gray as he looked out of the gator at the scorching desert. The man only smirked as a feature starting coming into view.
"Give it another hour gents, and we'll begin the operation." said Torrio with confident grin the men cheered. The one controlling the gator, feeling excited, made so that the gator moved faster. All the men seemed to be getting energetic as the gator vigorously made it's way to their destination; Alubarna.

Hurricane Theater
Monster Tamer Mika!
"Mika and Magician 1st class Nicole's party finally made it to Castle Brock where Brock was. It's finally time for the battle." narrated Chibi Nicole as she recapped the last few episodes. We then return to where we last left off; Mika's group versus Body-Shredding Brock.
"By the way,why are you here?" inquired Chibi Brock as he looked onto the group with confusion. However, his attitude quickly changed to one of danger. "Did you come to let me shred your body"
"Of course not!" shouted Chibi Mika as she raised her fist in determination. Meanwhile, Centaur Lena and Biri-Z gasped in shock.
"The great monster tamer Mika has come to slay you." stated Chibi Nicole confident in her friend's strength.
"Along with her band of monster friends!" shouted Ogre Akio and Chibi Ryuudo also determined.
"Monster tamer Mika?" said Chibi Brock curiously. Brock scoffed then flipped into action as he transformed into a wolf hybrid. Once landing Brock launched forward towards the group slashing at each member. Once at the other end of the group, all of them dropped down while Brock looked away unimpressed. "You're weak."
"Mika's party was wiped out." narrated Chibi Nicole as we looked onto the defeated group.
"Biiiiii."
"Except for Biri-Z, who flew away the very second he moved." continued Nicole while Biri-Z roosted on the chandelier looking on the group with shock. "What will you do, Biri-Z!"
"Bi ri Biri bi!" (To be continued!) frantically squawked Biri-Z as he looked at you, the reader.
A: One last announcement! The next chapter will show the last 'Hurricane Theater: Monster Tamer Mika!' episode. Once done, all will be posted on the omake in one chapter. At this point, I would like to ask if anyone would still want the theater to keep going, but with a new short. If you want it to stay, please suggest an idea. Anything goes, kinda like the omake corner except shorter.
Denji: Hurry fast!
A: Until next time! Ja Ne!
