Chapter 8: Jabu-Jabu's Stomach

Sanji's group was close the Lake Hylia, they came to the fence that lead into the path.

"So, here's the lake again," Franky said with a grin.

"Right, let's get these supplies to the Sunny, once we're done with that, we'll join in the others at Zora's Domain," Nami added.

"Yeah!" Chopper said in his walk-point form.

The group climbed the wall that a ledge which leads over to the other side, then they jumped down the ground and onward through the path.

Link and Luffy were on the shore, as light beamed from the ceiling.

"Where are we?"

Just then a fish-like creature appeared before the two. "Wah!" Link screamed in surprise.

"Whoa, a frogman!" Luffy exclaimed.

Zoro then was in disbelief of what he was seeing. "Geez, what the hell are you?"

Usopp and Robin appeared above their captain. "Hey, you three, what's going-" The sniper expert stopped talking as soon as he saw the large fish-like man. "Aah, a monster!"

"How rude, you guys are in the presence of King Zora!" A Zora guard stated.

"It's fine, who are the four of you?" The Zoro King asked despite the startling outburst.

"This is Zora's Domain?" Link questioned looking around.

"It's beautiful than I thought it be," Robin said smiling. "Look over there, a waterfall."

"That's so cool," Usopp shouted excitedly.

Luffy was more fantasized about the Zora race. "You guys are so cool!" He gazed like a child excited. "Do you guys take a dump?"

BONK BONK

Usopp and Zoro hit their captain on the head for his childish question.

"You moron, this isn't time for that question!" They both shouted in unison.

The Zora guard was quite taken aback by the question. "Does your friend have any common sense?"

Robin giggled. "Forgive my captain, he's just being silly."

King Zoro just smiled. "It's fine, anyway, who are you four again?"

Link walked over to the king. "I'm Link."

Luffy waved with his usual grin. "I'm Monkey D. Luffy!"

Robin cocked her head with a smile waved a bit. "I'm Nico Robin, nice to meet you, your majesty."

Zoro grunted. "I'm Roronoa Zoro, a swordsman."

Usopp did a thumbs-up pose. "I'm Usopp, the bravest and sniper expert there is."

After the introduction was done, it was time to get down to business.

"King Zora, I was told that this is where Spiritual Stone of Water is, I heard of a legend passed down in the royal family by Princess Zelda," Link said.

"That's right, we're here because we know there's a jerk named Ganondorf that wants to use some hidden power to take over the world too," Luffy added.

"Messengers of the royal family... I'm sorry, but I can't help you all right now," King Zoro said little down.

"What is the problem, your majesty?" Robin asked noticing the troublesome look on the King's face.

"Well, my cute Princess Ruto was swallowed by Lord Jabu-Jabu, Zora," King Zoro replied.

The group was puzzled at who was this Jabu-Jabu guy.

"Who is this Jabu-Jabu?" Navi asked.

"Lord Jabu-Jabu is the protector god of Zoras, who lives in the fountain outback of the Domain," A Zora explained.

"Your protector god swallowed the princess," Usopp said in surprise.

"Lately, Lord Jabu-Jabu has been green around the gills ever since that Ganondorf guy showed up," The Zora explained looking a bit mad.

Hearing that didn't seem good.

"Ganondorf came here, too?!" Link asked in concern. "Then, what about the princess?"

"Perhaps... She's still inside Lord Jabu-Jabu's stomach, Zora," King Zora guessed.

"That means she could still be alive," Robin said with her arms crossed.

Then the Zora King started to get all teary-eyed. "Even though I had already picked the most handsome man in our country, and a day of the marriage ceremony was tomorrow!"

That's when the Zoro King started to sob with worry. "My cute little Princess Ruto..."

"Geez, he's been a crybaby..." Luffy mumbled.

"Be nice, he's just worried about his daughter," Usopp said doing the slap on his arm.

"Alright, if we get Princess Ruto out of Jabu-Jabu, will you give us the Spiritual Stone of Water?" Link asked.

"That's an easy trade, so be it," King Zoro said as his sobbing stopped at that deal.

"Also, can you give some nice delicious fish too?" Luffy asked.

"I suppose so," The Zoro King said seeing no problem.

"Ok, but what the rest of our friends, we don't know if they're still at Lake Hylia," Usopp said.

"I have a solution," A Zora said walking to the group. "Inside the water, there's a secret tunnel that's a shortcut to Lake Hylia."

"That's cool!" Luffy shouted with stars in his eyes.

"In that case, can you go to Lake Hylia and get our friends to come through that tunnel?" Robin asked sweetly.

The Zora blushed red at the sight of the human woman. "Uhh, yes, I will."

M

At the Straw hats Flag Ship.

Sanji puts away the bottles of milk in the refrigerator. "That should do."

Franky was checking the three bottles of cola he still had inside his stomach. "Hmm... Still got a lot Cola to spare, that's good."

"So, are we good to go?" Nami asked.

"You bet, let's head back to the others at Zora's Domain!" Franky answered with a thumbs-up pose.

"Robin, I'm coming back to ya!" Sanji swooned with pink heart eyes.

"Right, I can't wait for our next destination!" Brook added excitedly.

A little later, the five went ashore, where they saw the old man talking to a strange water creature.

"What is that?" Franky asked in amazement.

"Is that a Fishman?" Brook wondered.

"No, that's not like any Fishman I saw before," Nami said shaking her head.

"I wonder if that's a Zora that owl geezer mentioned about," Chopper guessed.

The five went down to the shoreline and the two looked where the pirates were coming their way.

"Hello, I'm Nami and these are my friends," The Navigator greeted the water creature.

"Oh, you must the rest of the Strawhats, I just met with some of your friends, I want you guys to come with me," The Zora replied.

The five were confused. "Wait, what do you mean, bro?" Franky asked.

Back at Zora's Domain.

Luffy and his friends were fishing because they had to get at least one for Jabu-Jabu as an offering.

Though the fish were being difficult.

Luffy was trying to catch one with his hands, but they kept slipping away. "Man, this is taking too long." He moaned.

"Stop your moaning and more catching," Usopp suggested.

"I can't, the water is making me dizzy," Luffy said feeling a little woozy.

"That's because you're devil fruit user, moron!" Zoro shouted comically.

Robin was just using a fish pole, after a while, she felt something bit her fishing line. "Wait, I got a bite!" She reeled in and captured a fish. "I got one!"

"That was easy," Luffy said.

"Fishing takes patient, Luffy," Robin informed.

"Where'd you get that fishing pole anyway?" Usopp wondered.

"A Zora gave to me," Robin said pointing at the Zora was now talking with another Zora.

"Anyway, let's put this in a bottle," Usopp suggested taking out an empty glass bottle, "The Fish will spoil if we keep out of the water."

"Geez, looking at this fish makes me hungry," Luffy groaned.

"Just endure it, besides once we save Princess Ruto, we can have a feast like what we did with Darunia and his tribe," Usopp said.

"That sounds like a good idea!" Luffy shouted excitedly seemingly forgotten that he was hungry.

Link noticed some bubbles foaming from the water. "What's that?"

Splash

Zora appeared from the water, with Sanji, Chopper, Nami, and Franky.

Due to Chopper's devil fruit power, he was seemingly unconscious until Nami dragged him and Brook out.

"That was quite a shortcut," Franky said panting a bit.

"Not a problem for me, since I was able through the water," Sanji said proudly.

"Yeah, when you, Zoro, and Luffy fought against the Kraken, he practically walked through the water like a Fishman," Franky said remembering the underwater battle.

"Hi, you guys, long time no see," Luffy greeted his friends.

"Robin!" Sanji swooned while twirling over to the Archaeologist.

"What is wrong with Brook and Chopper?" Link asked.

"They'll be fine, they're just a little dizzy, but they'll get back up," Zoro answered.

"That's right, you said the devil fruit users can't swim due to their effect," Link remembered.

"Right, but, anyway, what is going on now?" Sanji asked.

The situation was explained to the other pirates, eventually, the others decided to come along.

Chopper walked up to the Zora King. "Excuse King Zora, do you have any injured men?"

The Zora King was quite surprised to see a talking animal. "A Raccoon dog?"

That made the reindeer upset. "I'm a Reindeer old-timer, can't you see the antlers?"

"Oh, well I had a few men that tried to rescue Princess Ruto, but unfortunately they got seriously hurt, apparently there were monsters inside Jabu-Jabu," The Zora King replied.

"In that case, I would be happy to check them out, once that's done, I'll join my friends," Chopper said.

"Then, let's go!" Link stated.

The others were about to follow the fairy boy when the Zora King called out. "Wait!" He took out a boomerang.

"A Boomerang?" Usopp wondered.

"This is the weapon that has always been passed down in the Do Bon family, it's sure to be useful inside Lord Jabu-Jabu, Zora," King Zora explained.

"Thank you, King Zora!" Link said with a smile taking the weapon.

"So cool, you're a cool guy, King Pora!" Luffy stated with a grin.

"It's King Zora!" The Zoro guard and some of his crewmates snapped comically.

Eventually, the group made it to the Zora Fountain.

There was Jabu-Jabu, lying its chin on a strange-looking dock with four pillars that were on apart with small stairs leading down to the small shallow water area that went to the tunnel of King Zora's throne.

"That guy is huge!" Usopp exclaimed.

"Almost as big as Shirahoshi's pet shark Megalo," Luffy added.

"Not ferocious either, maybe," Nami said little nervous.

"How intriguing, Jabu-Jabu is more of an interesting than I thought," Robin said observing the protector god.

"Let's just hope that he's not cursed or if we're too late," Sanji said, which reminded everyone of what happened to the Great Deku Tree.

That's when Link started to bang his sword's handle on the Jabu-Jabu's face like a door. "Hey! Lord Jabu-Jabu, open up!"

"Hey, spit out the princess," Luffy added smacking the large fish comically.

"Hey, you two!" Navi shouted.

BONK BONK

The two were on the ground with red lumps on their heads.

"He's a protector god you idiots!" Nami reminded.

"That's right, you need to give him an offering!" Navi agreed.

"That's where fish come in," Sanji said as he was about to pick up the bucket of fish that was caught.

However, there was only one left.

"Hey, where is the fish?" The chef asked.

"Yeah, there were 10 of them, and now there is only one left!" Usopp added.

Luffy was acting naturally while looking away.

"Luffy..." Usopp and Sanji growled quietly.

"What, I was just hungry," Luffy said with a shrug.

"Moron, that wasn't for you!" Sanji snapped comically.

"Secondly, that was raw fish, how can you beat that!?" Usopp questioned.

Then the three started to argue comically.

Link took the fish and held it up to Zora's god protector. "Lord Jabu-Jabu, here, please eat this."

The three stopped their petty argument when they saw Link handing the only fish.

Jabu-Jabu blinked for a moment then opened his mouth and inhaled deeply.

"Holy crap, he's inhaling us!" Usopp exclaimed.

"Forget me, I ain't going in there!" Nami said hiding behind the sniper expert.

"Don't worry Nami-san, I got you!" Sanji grabbed the navigator and held his ground. "Hey, Usopp, grab hold of Nami and use your grappling hook!"

"Right!" Usopp fired out his grappling hook and grab a part of the fence that was between the two pillars.

Robin used her ability to create wings and flew on a nearby cliff and hide behind by one of the pillars.

Link, Zoro, and Luffy didn't have time to get away as they were sucked into the large fish's mouth.

Inside Jabu-Jabu's Stomach.

The three woke up inside mouths.

"Where are we now?" Link wondered.

"Looks like we're still at its mouth," Zoro said noticing the rows of teeth.

"Wonder if it'll dump in the water!" Luffy joked.

Zoro comically whacked his captain on the head. "Stop with the bathroom jokes!"

"Anyway, let's get going, the Spiritual Stone and Ruto must be somewhere deep inside here," Navi stated.

The guys went further ahead, then opened a weird-looking door.

"That's a weird door," Luffy said looking a bit surprised.

In the Throat(Elevator Room).

A Spiked Platform caught Luffy's attention, then he saw it moving down.

"That is... So cool!" He shouted with stars.

"Talk about strange," Zoro said a little surprised at what he was seeing.

"Let's keep moving!" Navi ordered.

They went through another strange door and went into the Upper Stomach(Ruto Room)

"What is this room?" Luffy asked looking around.

"Looks like the stomach maybe," Zoro guessed.

Link looked around for a moment and then saw a few holes that were in the floor.

"What are those?" He asked.

"Looks like holes or something," Zoro guessed.

"Maybe, it's a way down," Luffy grinned.

Then he snatched his friends by wrapping his arms around their waist.

"Wait, no, Luffy!" Zoro began to shout.

Then as usual Luffy jumped in the one that was far left and they fell.

"Gum-Gum Balloon!" The straw hat captain inhaled his stomach which enlarged creating a perfect soft cushion or balloon to soften their landing.

"Geez, give us a warning next time!" Zoro snapped comically whacking his captain on the head.

"Where are we now?" Link asked.

"Looks like we went down even lower, to the lower stomach, to be exact," Navi said observing the room.

"Look over there!" Luffy pointed ahead.

"There are two doors, but which one do we take?"

Down on the floor was a young female Zora, that was being attacked by a swarm of floating Jellyfish.

"Whoa, are those jellyfish?" Luffy asked.

"Yeah, they're heading towards that girl," Navi added with great concern.

"That must be Princess Ruto!" Link stated.

Wasting no time, the fairy boy jumped down from the edge and snatched her quickly.

"Gum-Gum Whip!" Luffy swung his left which hit the jellyfish hard and due to his rubber powers he wasn't electrocuted.

The jellyfish disappeared as they crashed into the stomach's walls.

Link held the princess Zora with a look of relief. "Princess Ruto... I'm glad that you're safe..."

SLAP

"Insolent fool!" Ruto slapped the fairy boy.

Link held his right cheek with his right hand in pain.

"What was that for?" Luffy asked a little mad despite the he wasn't slapped.

"I'm Ruto, the princess of the Zoras, just who the heck are you three supposed to be?" The Zora princess questioned while placing her hands on her hips.

"The King asked us to come and save you!" Link answered.

Ruto tilts her head in surprise. "Father did that," She then huffed. "I don't need to be saved!"

"Eh?" Luffy and Navi said in confusion.

"What are you talking about, everyone at Zora's Domain is worried about you," Link informed not following the Zora princess' words. "Let's go back!"

Ruto turned away and ran off. "No way, you three should leave!"

Zoro was little bothered by the female Zora's attitude. "Little brat..."

Suddenly another jellyfish came out of nowhere and floated towards Ruto.

"Look out!" Link shouted as he cut through the jellyfish.

But then an electric shock stunned the fairy boy's body.

"Careful, those are flying jellyfish, if you cut through them then you'll be electrified!" Navi warned.

Zoro gritted his teeth. "Damn, that means my Swords are useless or is it..." He suddenly smirked.

Link knelt despite the electric force that damaged his body. "You're... not, hurt, are you?"

Ruto shook her head.

"Then, let's go, your father is waiting for your return," Zoro said in an almost demanding tone.

Ruto just stared at the three for a moment. "Then.. help me find my stone, only then I'll leave, Zora."

Zoro groaned in annoyance, but there was no other option. "Fine, we'll get your stone, we have to get it anyway."

"Alright, but where is it?" Link asked.

"I looked for it everywhere from the top even the rooms behind the upper stomach, the only place I haven't looked at is the door on the left, Zora," Ruto pointed ahead.

"If that's the case, then let's go on the door to the left," Luffy said with a grin.

"Right, let's-" Link was about to run until he felt someone grab him by his tunic.

"Hold it, do you seriously intend to leave me alone?!" Ruto asked.

"Cough... Cough... What are you saying?" Link asked coughing a bit.

"Carry me on your back," Ruto replied.

"What?" Luffy and Zoro wondered in confusion.

Link realized what she was saying, so he gave her a piggyback ride. "Damn... why me?"

"Being able to carry me is an honor," Ruto stated sternly. "You should be thankful."

"Geez, knowing Sanji, he would want to," Zoro mumbled in annoyance.

"Ha, ha, ha, that's funny!" Luffy laughed. "Giving her a piggyback ride!"

"Glad someone is enjoying this," Navi whispered at the straw hat captain's amusement.

The four went through the door and came to a strange lair.

On the massive platform in the center, Ruto spotted something. "Ah!" She exclaimed. "That's my precious item, throw me over there!"

Link did so, and the Zora princess walked over to the stone and picked it up.

She then turned to face the three. "I was really worried, when Jabu-Jabu swallowed I realize I was holding the stone anymore, so I looked for it, so I can go home now, so return me now."

"Don't need to tell us twice," Zoro grumbled.

Suddenly the large platform shook and went up before any of the three could do anything, Ruto's voice was faintly heard. "Eek, what is this, an octopus!?"

The platform came back down and a strange Octopus creature was on it.

"What is that thing?" Navi asked in shock.

"Something that needs its ass kicked," Luffy said cracking his knuckles.

The Octo then jumped from the platform and started to charge at them.

The platform began to spin around with sharp spikes that were around it.

"Gum-Gum Pistol!" Luffy stretched his arm back and extended it forward with great force, punching the Octo in the forehead.

The creature was hurt, but its body turned purple, it seemed too stunned.

"My turn, One Sword Style!" Zoro commanded. "Lion's Strike!"

He passed through the Octorok monster and took some serious damage.

"I think we almost got it!" Link pointed out. "My turn now!"

He jumped up and attempted to slash it on the head, but before he could the Octorok shook off its stun state and spun around.

Then it ran in the opposite direction.

"Geez, I thought this bastard was down!" Luffy cursed in anger.

Zoro then remembered the Boomerang. "Link, use the Boomerang!"

Link nodded and threw the boomerang at the monster and groan in pain, then its body became purple again.

"It's stunned again!" Zoro said. "But where we do hit it next?"

Navi noticed something on the backside. "Look there, that greenish spot!"

Link saw it too. "That must be its weak spot, I'll finish it off!" The fairy boy then jumped and sliced the Octo's weak spot which greatly damaged it.

The Octorok spun around and fell on its back.

The platform stopped spinning around and sank back into the center of the floor.

"Let's go up!" Link stated.

"Right!" Luffy nodded.

The three eventually went up, but Princess Ruto was nowhere to be found. "Where'd she go?"

"Did she leave the room?" Link wondered.

"Let's find out!" Navi flew towards a doorway.

The three followed the small fairy and went through, they then found an alone platform on the other side.

"Now what?" Link asked.

"Let's get on that platform!" Luffy suggested.

"I guess we don't have a choice," Zoro said with a shrug.

The three jumped on the ledge but then it fell.

"AAHHHH! The three screamed in surprise.

Then they came to the elevator room.

"This is the same room seems familiar, but, why?" Luffy wondered observing the area.

"It's the elevator room," Navi said sarcastically.

"Look over there!" Link pointed on the other side. "There's a door that we haven't gone through yet."

"Maybe, Princess Ruto is in there," Zoro said as he ran off but ran into the doorway that was to the throat.

"That's the wrong way, you idiot!" Navi shouted comically.

"Geez, could've told me sooner!" The green-haired swordsman shouted back with shark teeth.

The four opened the door and came to the Biri Room.

There was a large cliff with vines growing out.

"This a weird room, just like the others," Navi said looking around.

"Look up there!" Luffy pointed up the ceiling.

Hanging from the ceiling was a strange switch.

"Wonder what's that for?" Link asked.

"I think for this," Navi said flying on the other side which lead to another door. "This must be lead to another part of Jabu- Jabu's stomach, but this spider-web is blocking the way."

Realizing what had to be done, Link climbed up the cliff and threw the boomerang which hit the switch and unlocked the door.

"Great job!" Luffy cheered.

"Let's go in, we might find Princess Ruto!" Link stated as he climbed back down.

The four entered the door and came inside the boss room.

Large jellyfish were floating in the air.

"Are those jellyfish?" Navi asked.

"Looks like, but they're much bigger than the ones we fought before," Link added.

Then the jellyfish began to attach themselves to something in the center.

"It's a Barinade!" Navi exclaimed. "That's what must be making Jabu-Jabu act funny!"

Luffy glared at the monster. "Then, let's kick its ass."

Zoro smirked. "Finally, more action."

"Aah!" A female scream was heard.

One of the tentacles had Princess Ruto trapped.

Then large jellyfish came towards her.

"Take this!" Link threw the boomerang and destroyed the jellyfish.

This freed Ruto but made her fall to the ground.

"Time to cut down this bastard," Zoro placed his hand on one of his swords, then performed a circular swing. "36 Caliber Phoenix!"

The sword launched an air-compressed projectile spiraling towards the Barinade's three appendages.

The Barinade released the top row of jellyfish, allowing them to orbit around the main body.

"Gum-Gum Gatling!" Luffy proclaimed.

The straw hat captain unleashed a rapid barrage of strong punches that created the illusion of him having multiple arms, which punched the row of jellyfish and sent them crashing into the walls.

Barinade began to spin around in defense.

"Take this!" Link threw the boomerang again and stunned the monster.

"Now!" Link jumped and deliver a strong slash on the creature's main body which sliced it in two.

"You did!" Navi cheered.

"Not bad kid..." Zoro smirked seemingly impressed.

"Yeah!" Luffy screamed while raising his arms.

Just then a strange portal opened in the center.

Ruto was already there looking a bit fussy. "Geez, what took you three, can't you be faster?"

"Man, this is how she thanks us," Zoro groaned in annoyance.

"Anyway, let's go," Link said.

The four entered the portal and then hovered in the air.

The others were waiting for them to return when they saw a strange blue light appear from the sky.

"What's that?" Robin asked.

"Let's go see!" Sanji was already on his way to the direction the light shined.

Luffy and Zoro were on the dock.

"Hey, everyone, long time no see!" Luffy greeted.

"Where's Link?" Zoro asked.

Link opened his eyes realizing he was standing by Jabu-Jabu and in front of him was Ruto smiling at him, which took him by surprise "Wah!"

This caused the fairy boy to step back but he caught himself.

"Link!" Navi shouted. "Oh, there you are."

"There he is!" Franky exclaimed. "Who's that Zora girl?"

"That's Princess Ruto," Luffy answered.

"That's the princess!" Sanji swooned in loverboy mode. "She's so cute!"

"Hold it," Nami grabbed the perverted chef.

Ruto was still a little upset. "Geez, why'd you and your friends throw me aside like that!?"

Sanji was in awe. "Luffy, Link, Zoro, you lousy bastards, what'd you do to that little girl!?"

Chopper transformed and held back the angry chef by grabbing him from behind. "Easy, Sanji."

"Sorry, sorry, my fault, here you go," Link apologized while handing over the Spiritual Stone.

Ruto calmed down a bit. "I was a little scared..." She then sighed. "I have to confess, I wasn't swallowed by Jabu-Jabu, I was hiding."

Link was surprised and confused, so were the Strawhats.

"She was hiding..." Usopp questioned.

"Excuse me, miss, why were you hiding?" Robin asked.

"My father... he just did whatever he liked and arranged a marriage without asking me!" Ruto snapped as tears formed in her eyes. "He's always saying "Oh, my cute little princess"..."

"Sounds like her father is overprotective," Nami said seeing the upset that was on Zora princess' face.

"But, it only sounds like your father just cares for you," Chopper said.

"Yeah, but I have my feelings!" Ruto snapped, tears fell from her eyes. "I'm not my father's doll, Zora!"

"She's got a point, I mean an arranged marriage isn't right," Robin said feeling sorry for the Zora princess.

Link then was astonished at this, but then he smiled genuinely. "Sounds like it's tough being a princess..."

This got Ruto's attention as Link continued. "But, I'm envious, the Great Deku tree told me both of my parents are already dead, I never got to meet before."

"Poor Link!" Franky, Chopper, and Brook cried with crocodile tears.

Link smiled comfortably at the Zora Princess. "But, you have a father that is worried and waiting for you,"

"That's quite deep," Usopp said sniffling a bit.

"So, let's go back so that your father knows you're safe," Link suggested still smiling.

Ruto was moved by the fairy boy's speech, she felt her heart skip a beat too, and she held up the Spiritual stone in her hands, a small blush appeared on her face. "Well, is it okay to be with you, Zora?"

"Eh?" Link said seemingly not hearing what she said.

"You wanted this right, this is the Spiritual Stone of Water, Zora's Sapphire," Ruto said handing out the stone in her hands. "My mother told me to give it to the man that'll be my fiancé, you might think of it as Zora's engagement ring, I'll give it to you."

Hearing that, the Straw hats were in awe, except for Luffy.

"Fi-fiance..." Usopp stuttered seemingly surprised.

"Zora's engagement ring?" Chopper questioned.

Sanji growled and fell on his knees while pounding the ground with his fist. "Link, you lucky bastard!"

Brook was in tears. "Oh well, I'm not going to be jealous..."

"Young love is so super!" Franky cried while wiping his eyes.

Robin just giggled.

"Aww..." Nami said cupping her hands admiring the scene.

Zoro just groaned. "Ugh, not more lovey-dovey crap."

The Zora Sapphire then began to float in the air as it went into Link's hands. "Alright, all Spiritual Stones are gathered together!"

Ruto blushed red with a bashful smile. "Come back, bring your friends along to our wedding, okay, Zora?

Link waved as he ran down from the deck with the others following.

"By the way, do you guys know what an engagement ring is?" He asked glancing at the pirates.

The Straw hats wondered how they should answer, except for Luffy who was oblivious, but Navi spoke before the others could. "Umm, that's something you don't need to worry about right now."

A short time later.

Ruto went to her father informing him what happened. "I already gave away the Zora's Sapphire, Zora."

"WHAT?!" King Zora exclaimed in shock.

By the time the group made to the plains, night had fallen.

"We have to hurry and go back to Princess Zelda!" Link stated.

"Yes, I can't wait to meet the princess!" Sanji swooned.

"Great Deku Tree, we did it!" Link thought.

"Let's hope the princess with give us an award money," Nami said hopefully money signs in her eyes.

"I hope to get a lot of meat!" Luffy said drooling with meat in his eyes.

"Zelda, I hope she can show me her panties," Brook said with a faint blush on his skeleton face.

"Pervert!" Navi shouted tackling the skeleton's forehead.

As they came closer the Hyrule Castle was on fire, that wasn't only there; there was smoke coming from Castle Town too.

"Hyrule Castle is..."

"Burning..." Luffy added.

"What the hell is going on!?" Sanji shouted.

"It can't be good, either way!" Usopp panicked in fear.

Chopper smelled the fire. "Smoke, it's from fire, it smells strong, like the flames are extremely hot!"

"Let's go, Zelda and Impa are in danger!" Link shouted running off towards the draw bridge.

"Yeah, let's go!" Luffy followed the fairy boy with an angered look.

Link and the Straw hats finally got the final Spiritual Stone, as they return to Hyrule, the town along with the castle is burning, sensing something is wrong, they run down towards the draw bridge, what is going is anyone's guess.

Luffy: On the Next chapter: Temple of Time.

I'm going to be King of the Pirates

End of chapter.
