Chapter 4: Gadgets and Gizmos
IT was a dark, but quiet night. Usagi was on watch for the night, everyone else was asleep, well almost. Luna quietly went to back of the ship, she took out a small red mirror. She touched it and it began to beep as well as glow.
"Pass word please" said the mirror.
"Kitty stalks by moonlight." replied Luna.
"Pass word confirmed…. Status report Luna" said the mirror.
"Ami is doing fine but Usagi…." said Luna, "She needs to get with it…"
"That is understandable, I have some interesting information about these Devil Fruits." said the mirror.
"What is it?" asked Luna.
"It seems that eaters can cause a negative effect against Youma." said the mirror.
"What Central Control?" asked Luna.
"Well it appears that if hit by one of these people or in Chopper's case, Reindeer it cause great damage and temporally paralyze the Youma for one minute, it does not matter whether or the power was used or how powerful the hit is, the eater can just flick them and it would cause great damage, however that does not make them immune to energy drains as you are probably aware." said the Mirror known as Central Control.
"So… then Luffy, Chopper and Robin should help us out in battle." Luna.
"Exactly, may I ask… how did they find out in the first place?" asked Central Control.
"Well next time you talk to Artemis tell him the Tiara's don't hide their identities… they do a terrible job, only morons and very gullible people can't see though them." said Luna.
Somehow, despite being a mirror Central Control sweat dropped and then it changed to subject "Well um… maybe you should give them the Moon Pen and Mercury Compact, the Moon Pen might be of great assistance for the Straw Hat Pirates…" it said.
"Your right… oh are you the one who told Artemis the tiara's keep their identity a secret?" asked Luna.
"Uh… uh… Good bye…" said Central Control.
"…" said Luna.
Meanwhile in the HQ of the enemy. Jadeite was bowing to Beryl.
"Tell me why did you fail?" demanded Beryl.
"Well I misjudged the choice of island…" said Jadeite.
"Not only that but another Sailor Senshi has appeared." said Beryl.
"I'm sorry my Queen" bowed Jadeite.
"Not only that but it appears that some of these pirates that are associated with the Sailor Senshi can easily beat up Youma with a single strike… what do you plan to do?" asked Queen Beryl.
"I will destroy them and if my minions fails I will step in." said Jadeite.
"Don't fail me!" said Beryl.
"Yes my queen!" said Jadeite.
The next day, it was just your average day on the Merry Go. Well almost Luna asked Luffy if she could call a meeting, Luffy agreed. Unfortunately, Usagi was still asleep with her mid day nap.
"Usagi!" said Luna poking her.
"Oh Tuxedo Mask." said Usagi in her sleep.
"Usagi." said Luna poking her.
"Yes I'd like to get a sundae with you…" said Usagi in her sleep.
"USAGI!" yelled Luna extremely loudly.
In Kaya's house in Syrup Village…
"Merry, did you hear something?" asked Kaya, her servant shrugged.
Back on the Merry Go, Usagi finally woke up.
""My ears." cried Usagi.
"There's a meeting." said Luna.
"Okay…" grumbled Usagi.
A few minutes later in the galley, everyone ears were still ringing from Luna waking up Usagi.
"I know it was important to wake up Usagi, but did you really have to scream that loud?" asked Nami.
"It was the only way to wake her up." shrugged Luna.
After a few minutes so that everyone could recover from Luna's yell, she finally got done to business.
"I have learned that Devil Fruit eaters have a negative effect on Youma…" said Luna, "Just one hit can paralyze them for one minute."
"Cool!" said Luffy.
"That might help, after all Usagi's transformation takes too long." said Zoro.
"Why is Ami's shorter anyways?" asked Usagi.
"For the last time I have no idea!" yelled Luna, she calmed down "I also have some items that may come in handy."
Luna did two back flips, the first produced a pink pen and the second produced what appeared to be a blue compact with the mercury compact on it.
"Tis ish…" said Luna dizzy from doing two back flips in a row.
"You should rest for a minute" said Ami.
After a minute Luna was finally well enough to explain, "This is the Moon Pen and Mercury Compact. The Moon pen can be used by anyone unlike the transformation broach and pen. It can create any disguise though only use it in Senshi business or the marines are nearby. The Mercury compact is a device that can analyze the situation, much like the moon pen it can be used by anyone… though it maybe wise for some to have a little intelligence to use it." said Luna who looked at Luffy who happened to picking his nose and Usagi who appeared to be extremely board.
"So your saying that you doubt Usagi and Luffy can use it?" asked Zoro.
Luna said nothing it was a nothing that meant "Yeah…"
Later after the meeting, Usagi was enjoying the breeze a when a familial voice called out to her.
"Hey Meat Ball Head!" said the voice.
"Why you!" grumbled Usagi.
She looked over the side and saw the jerk.
"So how's it going? I can see the marines didn't catch you yet." said the jerk.
"What's that suppose to mean?" yelled Usagi.
"You can't fight at all you'd probably trip." said the jerk.
"Say that again." said Usagi.
"You can't fight, the only way you'd win is if you trip and the guy your fighting dies from laughing." said the jerk.
"No one talks to a beautiful lady like that!" yelled another familiar yet perverted voice.
Sanji appeared by Usagi's side, jumped down to defend her. Sanji kicked the jerk in the head.
"So this guy can do more than talk." said the jerk.
"You shouldn't make fun of a girl you know it's not polite." said Sanji lighting a cigarette.
"So what?" said the jerk.
The two began to fight, the jerk took out a sword while Sanji used various kicking techniques. Usagi watched the fight, then Nami, Ami and Robin noticed what was going on.
"He's defending my honor." said Usagi pointing to the fight.
Sanji noticed that not only Usagi was watching but all the girls of the Merry Go were.
"Robin! Ami! Nami! Are you watching?" asked Sanji.
The jerk used this timed to knock Sanji in the head with the blunt of the sword, it was pretty hard but Sanji was still standing.
"Hey that was a cheap shot!" yelled Usagi.
She grabbed something off her waist and threw at the jerk, it appeared to be a Frisbee.
"Your throwing a Frisbee at me?" asked the jerk, he caught with his hands… then he got a very powerful shock and fell unconscious.
They were all standing there, "Where did you get that?" asked Nami.
"After I saw what your Clima-tact can do I asked Usopp to make something for me, so I won't be dead weight in a fight. Since I'm good with Frisbees I asked him to make a discus like weapon" said Usagi.
It was true Usagi hid most of time, even Ami knew how to fight, she used a rapier, but mostly for self-defense.
"Hey Sanji, can you bring him up I think Chopper should do a check up on him in case he's all right." said Ami.
"Yes Ami!" said Sanji even thought he didn't like the guy he couldn't help himself for a beautiful.
Usagi pouted for a bit in a jealous huff.
Later the jerk woke up in the guy's cabin to find Chopper checking up on him.
"What the hell!" he screamed looking at the reindeer.
"So you're awake." said Usagi who was on a chair right beside where the jerk was sleeping.
"Where the heck am I?" yelled the jerk.
"The moon." Said Usagi sarcastically, "Where do you think the ship whose crew I'm a member of."
"This is going to get ugly." said Chopper leaving.
"So why am I here?" asked the jerk.
"My crew mate Ami took pity on you after I used the Moon Discus on you." said Usagi.
"Moon Discus?" asked the jerk.
Usagi held up a blue and gold Frisbee, "This I asked my crew mate Usopp to make it for me." said Usagi.
(Flashback)
Just before Ami joined, it was after the fight, Usagi had witnessed the fight (though did not participate in it), she was amazed by the abilities of the Clima-tact, she heard that Usopp made it. So Usagi deiced to ask Usopp in private for a favor.
"Usopp" asked Usagi.
"What is it Usagi?" asked Usopp.
"I was wondering if you could a make a weapon for me… like you did Nami." said Usagi.
Before Usopp could answer yes or no Usagi made a face, her eyes were big and sparkly as well as teary… she didn't really need to make that face, he was planning to say yes anyways, after all she was a friend.
"Sure thing what did you have mind?" he asked.
"Well I was thinking a Frisbee like weapon, since I'm really good with those." said Usagi referring to "Moon Tiara Action"
"Of course it will the best weapon ever!" said Usopp.
(Flashback to earlier that day)
After the meeting Usopp had finished the new weapon.
"I have made it! The Moon Discus!" said Usopp holding up the blue and gold Frisbee.
"Thank you Usopp." said Usagi.
Usopp began to explain how it works "If caught by an opponent it cause an equal shock and there are 5 buttons on the bottom…" said Usopp.
"You know… I want to be surprised by the buttons." said Usagi.
"Okay…" said Usopp.
"What can I do to repay you?" asked Usagi.
"You don't need to." said Usopp.
"But I want to." said Usagi.
"I may need to think about it" said Usopp.
(End of Flashback)
"And that's what happened." said Usagi.
"I didn't need the whole story." said the jerk.
"Well too bad" said Usagi.
The jerk got up, "I'm leaving." He said.
"Good riddance" said Usagi.
"One more thing, do you like that guy, the blonde guy who fought me?" he asked.
Usagi began to blush, now that she thought about it she did have a bit of a crush on Sanji. "Like I'm going ot tell you" said Usagi.
"Fine then don't tell me" said the jerk.
He calmed the ladder leading out the guy's cabin. He went on deck on found Chopper.
"You should rest…" said Chopper.
"I feel, fine thanks." he said, he found his boat, and jumped down and sailed away, just as Usagi left the guy's cabin. And watched him sail away.
"That jerk…" mumbled Usagi.
On his boat the jerk thought about something, "Why am I always like that around her?" he asked himself.
Later on the Merry Go, Usagi was thinking about something but a laugh snapped her out her train of thought. A woman was standing on the sail.
"SO this is the Straw Hat Pirates!" said the woman.
He began to laugh very loud and annoyingly, everyone on deck but Luffy had to cover his or her ears.
"That laugh…" moaned Nami.
"It's almost as bad as Usagi's crying." said Zoro.
"Yeah it's almost as bad as my… hey!" said Usagi.
"So do you want to join?" asked Luffy not noticing the glares from his crew who obviously didn't want her to join.
She stopped laughing, "Nope just here to destroy you for Master Jadeite." said the woman who became a witch.
"Oh so it's another witch." said Luffy.
The witch jumped down and held a ribbon. "Time fore some energy grabbing!" she said.
However she fell in pain, everyone wondered why until they saw a hand attached to the witch's back knocking it lightly.
Robin came in from the rear hold with her arms across her chest, she was reading in the girl's cabin but heard the situation outside.
"Well Miss Moon, maybe you should transform." said Robin.
"Right, Moon Prism Power Make Up!" she said and the minute long transformation sequence began.
The witch could barely move, however she could roll over, crushing the hand her back. This caused Robin to let go of her power, fortunately Sailor Moon was fully transformed at this time.
"How dare you attack us with that kind of laugh… in the name of the moon I shall punish." said Sailor Moon.
"Why do you say that before your battles?" asked Nami.
"I was wondering that too." said Zoro.
"Uh…" said Sailor Moon didn't know how to answer.
"I don't know, I like it." said Luffy.
Everyone but Robin sweatdroped, the witch took this to her advantage. She used the ribbon to wrap around Sailor Moon's neck. It began to drain her energy.
"This is the end Sailor Moon!" said the witch who began to laugh with the annoying laugh.
"It's a sonic attack!" said Sailor Mercury who showed up… along with Chopper, Luna and Sanji with tissues stuck up nose, he watched her transformation. Sailor Mercury sported blue goggles. Not only that but Chopper and Sanji were covering their ears with their hands or hooves in Chopper's case.
"Where did you get those cool goggles?" asked Luffy.
"Um… they are a view screen for the Mercury Compact." said Sailor Mercury.
"Maybe someone should help Sailor Moon!" yelled Luna.
Suddenly a red streak cut the ribbon attached to Sailor Moon's neck. It was a red rose. Sailor Moon fell to the ground Sanji and Sailor Mercury went to help the fallen senshi.
"You shouldn't do that to a beautiful young woman you know." Said a voice, everyone looked up and saw Tuxedo Mask. He jumped down, while holding a cane, he began to use the cane like a sword, however the witch blocked his attack with a club.
Sailor Moon was beginning to wake up, "What's going on?" she asked.
"Cape boy's fighting the witch" replied Sanji.
Tuxedo Mask managed to knock the club out her hand, "Now Sailor Moon!" he yelled.
Sailor Moon managed to get up and used the tiara on the monster…. Turning into stone and then dust. Everyone breathing a sigh of relief until the energy beam was shot at Sailor Moon barley missing. Everyone looked around to find a blonde man floating in mid air.
"So the Straw Hat Pirates and the Sailor Senshi." said Jadeite.
"Do you want to join the crew?" asked Luffy.
"I don't think he wants to join the crew!" yelled Sailor Moon, Nami, Luna, Zoro, Sanji and Chopper.
"I'm Jadeite, one of the 4 generals… just thought we should meet." said Jadeite.
He disappeared in thin air.
"You think he might the main bad guy?" said Zoro.
"Doubt it, he did say 4" said Sailor Mercury.
Sailor Moon approached Tuxedo Mask, "Thank you… for saving me" blushed Sailor Moon.
"It was no problem." Said Tuxedo Mask, he ran off the deck and seemly disappeared.
"He's so cool!" said Sailor Moon.
"There's something I don't like about that guy!" said Sanji.
On his small boat the jerk woke up, "Great I feel unconscious again…" he said.
Meanwhile in the dark palace, Jadeite was standing before Queen Beryl.
"SO you have yet to destroy the Straw Hats or Sailor Senshi…" said Queen Beryl.
"That is because I have a plan to get rid of them all next time" said Jadeite.
"Oh yes… who was that masked man who helped them." said Queen Beryl.
"I don't know… should I destroy next he gets in our way?" asked Jadeite.
"Let us see first…" said Queen Beryl.
Next Time: Young girls are disappearing from an island and the people are blaming a wandering priestess named Rei who has eaten a devil fruit. Luna suspects are the enemy... and is there more to Rei than meets the eye? Contain mini-story about Luffy trying out the moon pen.
A/N: Okay the reason why I changed Central Control to a magical mirror and Mercury Computer or Mercury Compact is because I doubt computers and video games exist in the One Piece world, Also Sanji will be replacing Motoki as Usagi's crush (which is kind of wrong if you think about it...).
