Chapter 36: Pint-Sized Problems
Chibi Zoro muttered under breath while he lifted the small weights. The moment he became 5 again, he could lift any of his swords… he knew he had a few days left like this and he needed to regain some of his strength… then again it wasn't so bad when compared to Sanji.
"Hey pipsqueak! Lunch his ready." Said Sanji.
"Who are you calling pipsqueak." Said Chibi Zoro.
In the Galley where everyone else was, they heard sounds of Chibi Zoro being beaten up…
"Sanji taking advantage of this as much as he can…" sighed Chibi Ace.
"We know…" sighed Nami, "It's been days."
That's when the last two entered the room… with a slightly beaten Chibi Zoro and Sanji who appeared to be happy about something.
"You're going to pay soon…" muttered Chibi Zoro.
Sometime later Chibi Luffy was playing the swing…
"So enjoying yourself before you have to become an adult again?" asked Chibi Ace.
"Yeah… Naruto was right about that… just not on the level he did it." Said Chibi Luffy.
Both shuddered... even Luffy found it creepy… and he's one of Naruto's best friends.
That's when Chibi Zoro showed up with a piece of paper.
"What are you doing Zoro?" asked Chibi Luffy.
"Making a list of what I'm going to the Pervy Cook when I'm normal again…" muttered Chibi Zoro.
"Makes sense…" said Chibi Luffy.
"But its your fault that that you fight him." Said Chibi Ace.
Chibi Zoro would have glared at Chibi Ace but it wouldn't have mattered Ace was one of the few people on the ship that wasn't effected by his death glares (the others were Robin and Nami)
"I don't care…" muttered Chibi Zoro.
"Should we tell him?" whispered Chibi Luffy.
"It might best." Said Chibi Ace.
"Tell me what?" asked Zoro who over heard it.
"You know your naps?" asked Chibi Ace.
"Yeah?" asked Chibi Zoro with a sweat drop.
"Well… Nami's been taking pictures of you while you sleep." Said Chibi Ace.
Chibi Zoro's eyes went wide, "How long has she being that!" he yelled.
"Since you turned 5." Said Chibi Ace.
Chibi Zoro seemed to breathe a sigh of relief... well sort of, "So wait she's been taking pictures of me while I slept since I turned 5!" he yelled.
The tow brothers nodded… Chibi Zoro began to search for Nami, which was a rather short search…
"There you are!" yelled Chibi Zoro.
"So I take it that someone told you what I was doing." Said Nami with an evil smirk.
"Give me those pictures right now!" yelled Chibi Zoro.
"Sorry... unless you can pay for them, I'm going to be keeping them. And maybe show them to any new crew member that Luffy drags into the next."
At that moment, in the Florian Triangle a living skeleton sneezed for no reason.
"You wouldn't dare…" said Chibi Zoro.
Sometime later, Chibi Zoro walked over to Chibi Ace.
"What is it?" asked Chibi Ace.
"Can you please burn these so these never see the light of day." Said Chibi Zoro.
Chibi Ace sweat dropped, "Are you sure those are her only copies?"
"I'm unsure, but as long as I destroy some of them, I'm sure it will be fine." Said Chibi Zoro with a sweat drop.
Meanwhile in the Dark wave HQ.
"So this is our last chance with the three Pirate Senshi." Said Ciel.
"They are the only ones that are still kids without someone there who's at the true age." Said Hund.
"So if we fail at killing any of them how will we blame Specs?" asked Ciel.
"I don't know we will need to come up with a plan." Said Hund.
Nearby Specs was listening on the conversation… he began to walk away.
"Ever since the Mamodo world plan, I've become the scapegoat for everything… even if I'm not apart of the plan." Thought Specs, "I needed to change, because if I don't something bad is going to happen… something really bad."
Back at the thousand Sunny, Chibi Zoro began to lift Wado and noticed that his arms weren't wobbling.
"Well that's a start." He said.
"Hey, Zoro we need to talk." Said Chibi Ace.
"About what?" asked Chibi Zoro.
"Hey you can lift your sword now!" said Chibi Luffy.
Both Chibi Ace and Chibi Zoro sweat dropped but shook it off.
"I think the Dark Wave will attack some time today." Said Chibi Ace.
"Why?" asked Chibi Zoro.
"We'll the only group that still all little kids. All the other worlds either have fully healed." Said Ace.
"Except for Kakashi… he's still a little kid but he can still fight." Said Chibi Luffy.
Chibi Zoro sighed, "When do you think they're attack."
"Probably right now." Said Chibi Luffy.
There was an awkward silence as a wind blew…
"I doubt right now." Said Ace, "But soon."
"So have you burned the pictures yet?" asked Chibi Zoro.
"Yeah…" said Chibi Ace, "But you should really be careful, she could still have more pictures."
"I know…" sighed Chibi Zoro.
"Why don't you just do what Kousagi does when ever she wants something or doesn't want to talk." Said Chibi Luffy.
"No way, I'm not doing do that!" yelled Chibi Zoro.
"Why?" asked Chibi Luffy.
"I want to hold on to my remaining dignity." Said Chibi Zoro.
"You're a man who's currently stuck a 5 year old, you keep starting fights with someone even though your going to loose and you have to change into a girl to fight an enemy…" said Chibi Ace, "You don't have that much dignity left…"
"I'm still not doing it." Said Chibi Zoro with a sweat drop.
"Oh come Zoro!" said Chibi Luffy.
"Have you been doing it?" asked Chibi Zoro.
"He's been doing to get food. Sanji pageantry can't say no to him either." Said Ace, "It's actually pretty funny."
"It's my last day I can do it too." Laughed Chibi Luffy, "After all Setsuna says my time Mushroom will be ready tomorrow."
"Is that so." Said a voice behind Chibi Luffy.
They turned around and saw Hund and Ciel.
"You know we were expecting you." Said Chibi Ace.
"Really?" asked Ciel with a sweat drop.
"Yeah…" said Chibi Zoro.
"I see…" said Hund, "Either way."
Ciel released a monster, the monster tried to take a bite out of the Sailor Senshi, but they dodged… Chibi Ace was the one that called…
"All right! Time to transform!" said Luffy.
"Mars Cosmic Power!"
"Juno Cosmic Power!"
"Neptune Cosmic Power!"
"Make up!"
All three of them transformed into their Senshi forms.
"All right!" said Chibi Sailor Mars, "You guys can attack, right?"
"I can use one of my swords now…" said Chibi Sailor Juno with a smirk.
Before Chibi Sailor Neptune could say a thing… she had a narcoleptic fit and fell asleep… causing everyone else to seat drop.
"Well that sucks for you." Said Ciel.
The monster was about to attack the sleeping Chibi Sailor Neptune, but the other two Senshi jump in between.
"Gum Gum Flaming Gattling!"
"Supreme Lighting Canon!"
The two attacks hit, but both were wakened in some way… they only monthly stopped one of the monster.
"Oh man…" said Chibi Sailor Mars.
"Double Elemental Punch!"
"Golden Spiraling Shuriken!"
"Heart Gem Surprise!"
The three attacks hit the monster.
"You guys made in time!" said Sailor Mars.
"Sure did!" said Sailor Cosmos Moon.
"Did he fall asleep again?" asked Sailor Venus with a sweat drop.
"Yeah…" said Chibi Sailor Juno with a sweat drop.
"All right time to finish him off!" said Sailor Cosmos Moon.
"Platinum Light Wave!"
With that the monster was destroyed…
That's when the other Senshi arrived with a landing.
"Your little late…" said Chibi Sailor Juno.
"Sorry all of us got lost on the road of life." Said Neo Sailor Moon.
"That's my line…" said Chibi Sailor Uranus.
"Which you stole that from Obito." Said Sailor Pluto with a sweat drop.
Chibi Sailor Uranus began to sweat drop.
"Is Ace still sleeping?" asked Sailor Venus with a sweat drop.
"Yes… he is…" said Chibi Sailor Mars with a sweat drop.
Meanwhile in the Dark Wave HQ, Hund and Ciel were giving their reports, to queen Mare and the other three.
"So Specs was the one that gave you the idea for the Time Mushrooms?" asked Queen Mare.
"Yes that's right." Said Hund.
"What!" yelled Specs, "That's a lie!"
"Specs I will not punish you… however you know you are in hot water already…" said Queen Mare.
"But it wasn't my idea!" yelled Specs.
"Don't lie… you know the truth." Said Ciel.
"Now eve though Specs plan has failed… I have just come up with a plan to get the Plantain Light once and for all. We will need to prepare, but I have perfected the plan." Said Queen Mare.
Specs gritted his teeth… that was it… he really didn't think it would come to that… but it would…
Meanwhile at the Thousand Sunny… Chibi Zoro thought about… and if Sanji was able to fall for… maybe Nami would… that's when he found her.
"Hey, Nami… you still have pictures of me right?" asked Chibi Zoro.
"What made you think of that?" asked Nami.
Chibi Zoro looked at her…
"Yes I do… but you have to pay me more." Said Nami.
That's when Chibi Zoro did the unexpected… he used his cute 5 year old looks… which had very expected results. Nami burst out laughing.
"I… can't… bl3uived your trying that!" she laughed.
"Hey!" yelled Zoro.
"Okay… I'll give the rest of the pictured free of charge… but…" said Nami.
Chibi Zoro didn't like that but.
"You have to pay me to keep quiet about that…" said Nami.
Chibi Zoro sweat dropped…
"I should have known…" he muttered.
Unfortunately Chibi Zoro didn't have money to pay that debt… for the next few days he was the laughing stock of the crew… that was until he became his regular age and beat up everyone who laughed at him.
Next Time: Specs wants out of the Dark Wave, so he turns to Aquamarine, Ruby, Amber, Doll, Sea and Opal for help before he could go to the Senshi. Will he get the advice he wants? Or will they not trust him and make him jump though hoops before they can? What will happen? Find out next time!
