Chapter 37: Mamodos in the Dessert

The finally made to Alabasta… in two weeks earlier than they would have with out Eido and Hyde… they got to a port that they've never been too, most of the Straw Hats wore the clothes they wore when they were helping out Vivi before...

"I think I'm gonna like it here…" said Eido as girls dressed in dancer garb walked past him.

He received a knock on the head from Nami.

"We're supposed be here supplies…" said Nami.

"Why did you have to his me?" said Eido rubbing the sore bump.

"She's right we need to buy you some clothes…" said Robin.

"But why did she have to hit me?" said Eido.

"Because…" said Nami in a menacing way…

Eido sweatdroped, "She's scary… very scary…" said Eido.

Later after buying clothes for Kaya, Eido and most of the mamodo (Zatch whined that his dressed was good enough, Brago didn't want one and complained that he didn't needed one… Nya and Ponygon… well 'nuff said)

"Okay listen up!" said Nami.

Nami began to give or… uh… explain the situation…

"According to Robin it will take us three days to get Alubarna from Sunakonoha we're at now… only if you don't get into trouble…" said Nami.

She looked over at Zatch and Luffy… even though Luffy was somewhat prepared for this Zatch wasn't… combined with the fact both are natural troble magnets it should take a while…

"This is going to be a loooong trip… isn't it?" asked Tia.

"Yeah…" said Nami.

Day 1:

It had only been a few hours since they started their journey, poor Chopper passed out from the heat.

"Are we there yet?" asked Luffy and Zatch.

"No…" said Nami.

"Are we there yet?" asked Luffy.

"No…": said Nami getting another angry vein.

"Are we there yet?" asked Luffy and Zatch.

"No…" said Nami still with an angry vein that seemed to have gotten bigger.

"Are we there yet?" asked Luffy and Zatch.

"No…!" said Nami getting really irritated.

"Are we there yet?" asked Luffy and Zatch.

"No!" said Nami almost yelling.

"Are we there yet?" asked Luffy and Zatch.

"NO!" yelled Nami who was really angry now.

"Are we…" said Luffy and Zatch.

Nami finally lost it and knocked them out….

After calming down Eido stared carrying Luffy and Brago carried Zatch.

"Why do I have to carry Luffy… I'm not even part of this crew…" said Eido.

"You should be happy… at least we don't have to hear them complain" said Brago.

They set up camp when it had gotten dark.

"It's so cold…" said Zatch.

"Zatch you want me to warm you up?" asked Tia and Kolulu at the exact same time.

They glared each other.

"Here we go again…" said Nami.

"Why is he so lucky…" mumbled Sanji.

"I know…" said Eido.

"You both can warm me up… after all it's really cold…" said Zatch.

Both blushed at the as they huddled together.

"I'm really cold too…" said Kaya.

Usopp sat close to her. Then Yuki and Nya who was on Yuki's head as usual had identical sneaky smiles on their face.

"Yuki, I don't like that look your giving me…" said Usopp.

"Even Usopp's more lucky than we are…" said Sanji.

"Yeah…" said Eido.

Both began to sulk.

"What's up with them…" said Luffy.

"Don't ask…" said Zoro.

Day 2:

It was the middle of the day… everyone was hot and tired except for Nya because she rode on Yuki's head, Yuki because her powers are ice and snow, Robin due to the fact that she was used to the weather, Brago for no apparent reason and Eido because he flew.

"Hey Eido read my spell…" said Hyde.

"No…" said Eido.

"Why?" asked Hyde.

"I'm trying to converse energy…" said Eido.

"Hey that's not fair!" aside Hyde.

"Nayh nayh!" said Eido while pulling down his eyelid and sticking his tongue out.

"Where's Luffy and Zatch?" asked Kaya who noticed that those were missing.

"Oh god no…" said Zoro pointing to the two idiots franticly running around while both had anime swirl eyes.

"They didn't…" said Nami.

"I think they did…" said Usopp.

(Flashback)

Luffy noticed the cactus on the ground… he grabbed is and noticed her partner was hungry as well.

"You want some Zatch, it very good…" said Luffy.

"Okay…" said Zatch.

Both began to eat the cactus…

(End of flashback)

"Wow! Look at the chocolate water fall!" screamed Luffy.

"I'm in the sky with diamonds!" yelled Zatch.

"Not again…" said Chopper.

"And he must have given Zatch some…" said Nami.

"Master Captain ate some of the cactus before?" asked robin somewhat surprised… then again she wasn't that surprised…

After managing to catch the two… Nami explained about the cactus… and that Luffy ate it twice before…

They set up camp early 'till the two were clean so to speak… that night the same the same thing with a clean Zatch, Tia and Kolulu happened so did Kaya and Usopp… Sanji and Eido decided to do something…

"Robin! Nami would one of you like to get warm with one of us?" asked both Sanji and Eido at the same time.

"Oh no… they don't want anything to with you in this way…" said Brago brandishing a base bat for some reason.

"Okaay…" said Eido.

"Why do you have a baseball bat?" asked Sanji.

Brago shrugged while humming "I don't know"

"Thanks Brago…" said Nami.

"You're welcome…" said Brago.

Day 3:

They were walking over a hill when it began to shake… it turns out it was a giant a lizard… Luffy gave his trademark grin.

"Who's hungry for lizard?" asked Sanji.

After killing said giant lizard fallowed by it's mate every began to eat the lizard.

"Did this happen before too?" asked Eido.

"Yeah…" said Nami.

Later…

The intrepid group adventures walked over another hill it turned out to be giant scorpion! After killing said giant scorpion Sanji began to cooking and eat it… however only the men this one while the girls including the mamodo girls watched with a sick look on their faces.

"I told you Luffy would eat any thing…" said Nami.

All the other girls nodded.

That night the same thing keeping warm happened… this time a different person asked someone if they could keep warm with them.

"You know Yuki… is okay if I keep warm with you?" asked Hyde.

"Okay… I don't need it… but I'm sure you do…" said Yuki.

The two began to sit close together. Then Usopp, Kaya, Nya and Eido had a sneaky smile on their faces.

"Usopp, I don't like that look your giving me…" said Yuki.

Day 4:

Chopper sniffed the air.

"We're close to a city…" he said.

They climbed a hill and managed to find Alubarna on the other side.

"Finally…" said Nami.

"I thought we'd never get here…" said Tia.

"All right! We're here!" yelled Luffy extremely loudly that the whole city heard.

Vivi in the palace herd this and smiled… they were there and got there pretty fast too… she wasn't expecting them for another two weeks… a figured looked at her from the shadows…

"Are they really that important?" asked the figure.

"Yes they are…" said Vivi, "They are…"

Next Time: They finally make it... wait a second Vivi has a mamodo... and her mamodo's in love with Zatch? Not only that but she stalked Zatch? Not only that but she thinks he forgot her… let's just say she isn't happy…
