Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece.


Ch. 50: "Welcome to Blumheim."

Around the next night later, Wolfgang and Enlai were getting adjusted to their new surroundings. Of course, it didn't come without some arguing.

"Baka Enlai, PLEASE take this voyage seriously! We're not on a cruise!" Wolfgang pointed out as Enlai cooked some dumplings.

"Look, Shitty Katsuragi, Sebastian apprectiates all the help I'm giving him! Consider me a merchant cook," Enlai aargued as he set the dumplings on a plate. "Want some baozi?"

Wolfgang just sighed.

"Lighten up, okay?" Enlai said.

"You do know that THIS is work, right?" Wolfgang asked with half-lidded eyes.

"Well, what use is working when we're in the middle of the freakin' sea, Shitty Katsuragi?" Enlai asked Wolfgang, who ignored him. "I thought so."

Hana stormed into the room.

"Didn't you guys hear me? You're supposed to be helping out!" Hana cried. Wolfgang and Enlai turned to Hana.

"…With what?" Wolfgang and Enlai asked Hana, who facepalmed.

"We're docking at an island! I suggest you guys get up there and help everyone else out! There is no use arguing right now! Do it later!" Hana yelled to the two merchants.

"Alright, alright, we're going up there!" Enlai said before the three went up to the upper deck of the Hyperion. "Geez, this girl doesn't need to get her panties in a bunch."

"Where are we docking?" Wolfgang asked Hana as they joined the other Capricorns on the upper deck.

"Blumheim. An island of old-world charm and new-world schematics of piracy," Hana explained.

"Alright. Sounds like a nice place for our maiden voyage," Enlai said as the Capricorns got off of the ship.

"Wolfgang, Enlai, as merchants, you are expected to buy, sell, and trade goods and services for ourselves and our benefit. Does that sound like an easy job?" Yuki-Rin explained to Wolfgang and Enlai. Wolfgang smirked.

"I've been doing that all my life. Let's just say I have more… EXPERIENCE than the other merchants at sea," Wolfgang said smugly.

"Excuse me?" Enlai shouted. Yuki-Rin sighed.

"Guys, please stop fighting. I know you hate each other, but, as nakama, you have to work together," Yuki-Rin explained. Enlai just glared at Wolfgang before turning back to Yuki-Rin. "Alright, guys, time to split off! Aria, Maki-chan, Soren, you three have watch duty until somebody comes back."

"Watch duty? Again?" Maki-chan cried.

"Don't worry, you'll get to see the island like everyone else," Yuki-Rin re-assured the blonde girl. Maki-chan just sighed.

"At this rate, all I'll see of the Grand Line is what I see from the Hyperion," Maki-chan muttered to herself as she re-boarded the Hyperion.


"Hey, I know you! You're the guy I bought my scythe off of!" Heathcliffe said. Currently, Heathcliffe, Holden, Aki, Isabella, Yulia, Daisuke, and Gareth were at a small, dark store Blaise and Sadie have temporarily taken up residence in.

"That's me. What do you need this time?" Blaise asked Heathcliffe.

"We're looking for weapons for my girlfriend. She has a sudden interest in fighting now, and we want to find a weapon that suits her the best," Heathcliffe explained.

"But, please, no guns or katanas for me," Aki requested.

"Head right this way. Do sabers, rapiers, and spears interest you?" Blaise asked as he pulled back a curtain leading to a darker room.

"Sure. As long as it's elegant, it'll work for me," Aki said as she went into the back room with Blaise, Sadie, and Heathcliffe. Yulia gave Daisuke a nod, and Daisuke began taking money from the cashbox. Holden and Gareth pretended not to notice as they pretended to look and gun bullets.

"Nice job, Daisuke. How much did we get?" Yulia whispered to Daisuke.

"About 2,500 beri," Daisuke whispered back.

"Not bad. Come on, let's hit up the streets for money," Yulia said before she and Daisuke ran out of the shop. Holden and Gareth continued to pretend to have an interest in the merchandise.

"Should we stop them?" Gareth asked Holden.

"I don't think so. They're long gone by now," Holden answered. Outside, Yulia and Daisuke were counting their money.

"2,500 beri? That's the most you've stolen in a LONG TIME," Yulia pointed out.

"Oh, shut up," Daisuke said. Then, a cloaked man approached Yulia from behind and grabbed her shoulder.

"Project Mei," The cloaked man whispered to Yulia before running off. Yulia stood there, too paralyzed and fearful to move.

"Yulia, who was that man?" Daisuke asked Yulia, who didn't respond. "Awww! Does somebody need a hug?"

Yulia then punched Daisuke.

"Like hell, I'd hug you!" Yulia yelled, reverting back to her normal self. Daisuke just laughed, albiet a bit nervously.

"Come on, we should head back to the Hyperion. Our work is done – For now," Daisuke said. A few minutes later, the two returned to an empty Hyperion.

"Guys, we're back!" Yulia annoucned. Nobody responded.

"Soren? Aria? Maki-chan? Are you guy here?" Daisuke shouted. Still, nobody responded.

"Idiot, they're not here," Yulia pointed out.

"Well, they must be sleeping. If not, let's go by the old saying of 'They must be nearby'," Daisuke explained. Yulia just nodded her head and rolled her eyes.


Soren, Maki-chan, and Aria were nearby, as Daisuke predicted. But, Soren and Maki-chan were sitting in a dimly-lit office and Aria was nowhere to be seen.

"Wow, somebody could've done better with the paint job," Maki-chan dryly observed, noting the ugly shade of green the wall was.

"I know! It just looks so… Outdated," Soren added. Then, a young man entered the room. He had blackish-purplish hair with one, long, spiky bang hanging over his left eye, and black eyes. He wore a white, collared shirt tucked into khaki slacks, black dress shoes, and a purple tie.

"Thank you for waiting. My name's Mitchell, and I will be your interrogator tonight," The man introduced himself. "Do you mind giving me your names?"

"I'm Soren, and this is Maki-chan," Soren answered. Mitchell began writing something down.

"I see. What brings you to Blumheim tonight?" Mitchell asked.

"The Log Pose brought us here. We're pirates," Maki-chan explained.

"Pirates? Where are you two from?" Mitchell asked, not changing the tone of his voice.

"I'm from the East Blue," Maki-chan said.

"I'm also from the East Blue," Soren added. Mitchell looked through some papers.

"If you're from the East Blue, I'm sure you've heard of Project Mei," Mitchell stated.

"Project Mei? What the heck is that?" Maki-chan asked. Soren facepalmed.

"Dear Lord. If this has anything to do with my dad…" Soren said under his breath.

"What did you say?" Mitchell asked Soren.

"Nothing. I just said something along the lines of 'I hope my dad wasn't involved in it'," Soren said. Mitchell stood up.

"Do you mind telling me who your father is?" Mitchell asked Soren.

"Like hell, I'm telling you! I don't know what your intentions are, and my father is somebody you shouldn't know! I don't trust you one bit!" Soren said. Mitchell just grinned and pushed Soren against the wall.

"What – What the fuck are you doing?" Soren cried before Mitchell grabbed his neck.

"We have ways of making you talk. General Pasternak needs his information so he can restart Project Mei!" Mitchell yelled as he pulled out an orange with a pattern of swirls all over it. All Soren could do was choke and gasp in fear due to Mitchell's grasp on him.

"Soren, no! Don't eat that! You don't know what powers that Devil Fruit has!" Maki-chan yelled. Mitchell just shoved the Devil Fruit into Maki-chan's mouth.

"You disgusting girl. Eat it and see if you like it," Mitchell said before turning back to Soren.

"Soren! Fight back!" Maki-chan said as she tried to throw up the Devil Fruit. Soren then grabbed Mitchell by the wrist and threw him to the ground, allowing for him and Maki-chan to escape.

"That was awful! Can we get some water so I can get the taste out of my mouth?" Maki-chan asked Soren.

"Not now! We have to find Aria and get her out of here!" Soren yelled. Maki-chan narrowed her eyes.

"I can see Aria! She's down the hall and to the right!" Maki-chan said.

"How did you –" Soren asked before Maki-chan cut him off.

"My Devil Fruit must be the Gamma Gamma no mi – The power to give me X-ray vision," Maki-chan said. Meanwhile, Aria was sitting inside of a prison-like cell, when Mitchell entered.

"Aria Yakushi, the protegeé of Monkey D. Dragon. Tell me, did you have any role in stopping Project Mei six months ago?" Mitchell asked Aria.

"That is classified information. Not even Dragon will let me tell you the details," Aria stated. Mitchell just smiled.

"We have ways of making you talk, Aria Yakushi," Mitchell said as he pulled out Aria's bounty poster.

Wanted: Dead or Alive!

"The Younger" Aria Yakushi

15,000 Beri Reward

"That doesn't scare me. Nobody knows me in the Grand Line," Aria stated.

"Such a low bounty, but you're still not talking. Talk to me, or else I will shove this down your throat," Mitchell threatened as he pulled out another Devil Fruit, which was an oversized litchee nut.

"No… I won't talk! As a Revolutionary, I have a right to withold any information from anybody, and Project Mei and it's details are something I choose to stay silent about!" Aria explained. Mitchell pushed Aria down to the ground and forced the Devil Fruit into her mouth. Aria pushed Mitchell off of her as she began to throw up.

"I hope you'll talk by morning," Was all Mitchell said before he left.

"We should get out of here. Project Mei was a horrible tragedy, and we don't want anybody to re-live it."

Before Aria passed out, all she could see were the wrists of a girl, all cut up.


Special Omake: King Kong Time! (Warning: Contains stuff that doesn't really fit in the 1930's [like the Ouran reference Hana makes], bad words, 4kids-styled editing, a rare speaking appearance from Ajax, and just some crack. You have been warned.)

New York, 1932

The world was turbulent in 1932. Japan took over Manchuria, the country was in a Great Depression, and film actress Hana Yakushi was out of a job.

"Hey, come back! I stole that first!" A green-haired thief named Daisuke Saburo yelled as he chased Hana, who stole an apple. Not even the somewhat skimpy, red dress and the heels Hana was forced to wear for all of this omake slowed her down.

"Damn it! Yulia's gonna kill me!" Daisuke yelled as Hana ran out of sight. Meanwhile, a film director named Wolfgang Katsuragi was strolling with the hottest male film actor of the time, Holden Sarutobi.

"Think about it, Holden, you'll have girls all over your feet with this movie," Wolfgang said before Hana bumped into him. "Ow! My Steve Jobs-sized visions!"

"My sex appeal!" Holden cried.

"My apple!" Hana cried as she looked at her dropped apple. Wolfgang then perked up.

"Hey, aren't you film actress Hana Yakushi?" Wolfgang asked Hana.

"No, duh," Hana answered as she cleaned off her glasses.

"I'm film director Wolfgang Katsuragi, and I'm going to a place called Skull Island to make a movie. Wanna star in it?" Wolfgang asked Hana.

"Sure! It'll keep me from living in my car!" Hana said happily.

"And, I'll have more fangirls!" Holden added. And, so, the next day, the three boarded a boat to Skull Island.

"So, how are weather conditions, captain?" Wolfgang asked the captain of the ship, Captain Heathcliffe Sarutobi, who was also Holden's brother. For a ship captain, Heathcliffe was just as suave and handsome as his twin brother.

"Smooth sailing," Heathcliffe answered right before they sailed into a fog patch. "Fuck."

A few feet away from them, Hana was making out with Heathcliffe's first mate/bromance partner, Kazuma Miyafuji.

"Hana, stop kissing that commoner!" Wolfgang yelled.

"You sound like Tamaki from Ouran High School Host Club," Hana remarked.

"Oh, snap! We're arriving at Skull Island!" Enlai Li, the cook/tailor/barber/Chinese teacher of the boat, yelled.

"Shut up! I hate you for no reason!" Wolfgang yelled. A few minutes later, the crew, Hana, Holden, and Wolfgang were exploring Skull Island.

"This looks too much like the zoo," Hana commented before they stumbled upon some natives, the Stockholm Syndrome Pirates, all wearing bowling shirts. The lead savage, Yuriko Tsuchimiya, was trying to sacrifice her fellow "savage", Zheng Nakamura.

"Look, savages! Let's film them!" Wolfgang said as he got out his video camera. The Stockholm Syndrome Pirates glared at him as they got out water guns and foam swords. It was originally going to be shotguns and katanas, but 4kids came and censored the scene to high heaven.

"Now look what you've done!" Yuriko cried as she motioned to a giant pigeon named King A-Kon. "Kick their asses!"

Five seconds later, Heathcliffe's tailor/girlfriend (Aki Chung-Feng), fisherman (Hatori Chidori), and some guy who mooched off of Heathcliffe for free booze (Thierry Brighton) ran off, and Yuriko kidnapped Heathcliffe's personal Vatican Assassin Ninja, Z.G.

"Noooo! Aki's gone!" Heathcliffe sobbed.

"Oh, my God!" Wolfgang cried as a huge dinosaur began to eat him. In reality, said dinosaur was a cow named Eleanor, and she was just chewing on Wolfgang's hair.

"Guys, where's Hana?" Kazuma asked everyone. Back in NYC, Hana was watching a stage show with King A-Kon as the main attraction.

"Step right up and see King A-Kon, eighth wonder of the world!" A man dressed as the Phantom of the Opera named Kartik Abingdon yelled. King A-Kon just picked Kartik up in his beak and threw him a few feet.

"Forever alone!" Kartik yelled as he flew away. King A-Kon then picked up Hana and flew her to the top of the Empire State Building.

"I can see my house from here!" Hana remarked. Then, several SWAT team members in planes flew up to King A-Kon, ready to fire on him.

"King A-Kon, please unhand the girl," A pilot named Showtarou Shinohara said from his plane. Hana decided to just get into the awaiting taxi helicopter and leave. King A-Kon then cleared his throat.

"Lonely I'm Mr Lonely,
I have nobody,
For my own
I'm so lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
I have nobody,
For my own
I'm so lone -" King A-Kon said before the movie reel cut off. It was revealed that the Capricorns made the movie and they were watching it.

"Well... That was a cheap-ass movie," Soren remarked. Yuki-Rin began to cry.

"Hana, how could you? You got to make out with Kazuma and not me! I thought we were friends!" Yuki-Rin sobbed before Kazuma hugged her. Hana just sighed.

"Next omake, we should do Phantom of the Opera," Hana said to herself.


Ending Note: Don't ask me how my omake turned out to be THAT cracky. I have no clue why.
