Chapter 45: Day 3, Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Oni Okami
"1...2...3!" Loki yelled, he tossed Chopper and Usopp in the air and started the thrill ride.
Dawn took Luffy surfing, Robin was reading, Nami was tanning next to Sanji, Zoro was sleping, Raven was playing with a ball, Luna and Dusk? Well, let's just say they were training...
Luna placed her right leg on Dusk's shoulder. "Don't make me slip!" Then she nailed her down to the ground. "Ha!"
"Jungle Roar." Dusk said simply, she punched Luna into the air and got up. Luna tried Brochette, but missed when Dusk grabbed her free leg and swung her to the ground. "Make you slip? You should change it to trip."
"Oi, oi, Luna-chan, don't get cocky, that's when you can break your stance and lose." Sanji said, she nodded as she switched to hybrid point. "You're doing that already?"
"No, I just wanna finish her before lunch."
"I'll have you skinned alive within 3 seconds." Dusk said, she had her knives out and she started slashing away at Luna.
"Wolf Stance: Blind Kick!" Luna yelled, she had her eyes closed while she dodged each knife in a drunk manner until she got close to Dusk and kicked her in the face. Dusk got up and switched to beast point, then attacked Luna, but missed by an inch. Instead, she bit Luna's necklace and ripped it off. She held in in her mouth, the pendant was shapped into a cresent moon, Sanji's name was engraved in it. Sanji and Luna stared at it wide eyed. "D-dusk, can you please give me back the necklace?"
"Huh?"
"Give her the damn necklace!" Sanji barked, he sprung up to grab Dusk, but she dodged. "She needs it."
Everyone paused.
"It's nice to love each other, but the necklace can't be that important." Raven said. Luna slumped over. "Loon!"
"She having a nervous breakdown or something?" Zoro asked, everyone crowded around her. "Chopper, can you do anything?"
"No, she doesn't seem to be having anything." Chopper said. Luna's eyes started to turn yellow, like a wolf's. "Is that supposed to happen?"
"Luna?" Luffy asked, he waved his hand in front of her face, she got up and kicked him hard in the face. "What the hell was that for?!"
Usopp and Raven went in the air with Loki while Dawn went out with her surfboard, but stayed close to shore. Zoro had his sword out while Dusk paused and handed Sanji Luna's necklace.
"Everyone, get to the ship! And don't let her bite you!" Sanji yelled, they nodded and ran away with Luna chasing them on all fours.

"Tell me why our musician is a wolf monster." Nami said. "Anyone, Sanji-kun?"
Sanji sighed as he lit another cig. and got up. He showed off the necklace, the pendant was gone. "The only way to stop a werewolf is by giving it something made of silver, like a bullet. I don't when we lost the pedant, but it's really important."
"We know that." Robin said. "Is that why you yelled at Dusk to give it back?"
"Yes, Robin-chan. When we found Luna with the fruit, I took both to the kitchen, then I later looked up her fruit in Chopper's books and found it was the most powerful and most deadliest of all Zoan fruits. The Inu inu no Mi, Model: Oni Okami."
"Demon Wolf?" Dawn said.
"The only reason why she was able to use my attacks easily like she had done them for years was because the fruit allowed her to learn it quickly. It lusts power." Sanji said, they saw Luna running along the coast.
"She doesn't sound different from any Zoan users." Luffy said.
"Different? I'll show you different. When does her powers go haywire when the necklace was off? I was there the first time she lost it completely." Sanji said, he removed the tuft of hair covering his left eye and everyone saw it was silver with a long, dark scar from a claw. "She slashed at me when she was a werewolf, now I'm blind there."
"When did it happen?" Usopp said.
"Alabasta."
"No wonder I heard yelling. How were you able to calm her?"
"ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOO!!"
"When you say she losses her mind, does she lose herself completely?" Nami said.
"That's what I'm afraid for Luna-chan. I'm not saying that she's weak, but she can't house the power of the Oni Okami in her body. The reason she does this is because it's the year of the dog. That is when Inu Inu no Mi users are powerful. The only way to keep Luna from turning into a monster is by using the necklace."
"Silver as a bullet?" Loki said, he looked at Usopp. "Have anything useful."
"Hey, I'm not the lone ranger!" Usopp said. "I barely use silver!"
At the coat, Luna was a black wolf with red crimson markings along her body. She stood on her hind legs like a human as she stared at everyone.
Sanji went to the kitchen, then came back with knives for everybody. "Before, without the necklace, I had to stab her in the heart. Unless someone can find it, we'll have to "kill" her the traditional way."
"Since when were you a poacher?" Zoro said.
"These are made of silver."
"Duck!" Dusk yelled, Luna suddenly made a leap on deck, everyone stood there with their knives. She whirled around until she saw Sanji and charged at him, he jumped over her shoulders and kicked her face. With an irritated snarl, she rounded at Zoro, who took two swords out and crossed them together, her massive paws pressed against them while her jaws snapped at his face by mere inches. He seperated his blades and sent her flying at the mast, everyone else scrambled to the kitchen.
Usopp slamed the door in Luna's face as she raced for him. She peered through the window. "Where's the good ol' Luna we all know and love?"
"As long as the door holds up, she can't get in." Robin said.
"As long? The door can only take up 300 pounds. When she pressed my swords, her strength was about 700 pounds." Zoro said, Usopp suddenly placed steel bars on the doors and windows. "Like that'll help. Her jaws would crush them!"
"Let's just calm down, and figure out her weakness." Nami said. "What is it that animals fear besides bullets?"
"Fire." Chopper said.
"Spices." Dusk said. "Or fire."
"I'd say animals that overpower them." Loki said.
"Is it just me, or is a big bad wolf staring at us?" Luffy said. "I thought she won't understand anything."
"Luna can lip read, and so can I." Raven said, she closed all the curtains. "She doesn't have good hearing sometimes."
"Lip read?" Dawn said.
"We were bored and yeah."
"Leave out the bullets and knives." Sanji said, everyone stared at him. "What could calm an animal?"
"Oh yeah! Darwin's law or rule crap. Music soothes a raging beast." Dawn said, she took out her flute and stated to play. Luna riped the door open and started to gnaw at the metal bars. "Not working!"
Chopper and Usopp screamed while Luna managed to bite through one bar.
"What're you guys so scared about?" Luffy asked, he walked over to Luna and started to pet her. "It's just a wolf!" Luna bit his hand, then slid him through the bars. "HELP!"
"Baka" Dusk said, she switched to hybrid point as she opened the door. Luffy was tied to the mast by Luna, don't ask how. "Jungle roar!" Dusk yelled, but Luna was way too quick, so she knocked Dusk overboard. Zoro caught her by the tail. "Ow."
"Hey, pretty wolf." Sanji said, Luna turned to him, but was knocked out when he kicked her head VERY hard. "Sorry, Luna-chan, but I had to."
(Later)
"Crap-cook." Luna said, she found herself next to Sanji. The cresent moon pendant dangled from her neck.
"Don't be so mean." Sanji said. "Promise me you won't ever take off the necklace."
"Sure, but why?"
"You'll understand later."
