This is a nice Assassin's Journey one-shot; full of fun, shenanigans, and a bit of love in the mix. Brings me joy to do a small story on my first story ever! At the end, I have some things to discuss.
"Sanji! Food!" Natsu Dragneel and Monkey D. Luffy hollered, demanding for their lunch.
"Both of you shut up! I'm getting everyone's ready in order!" Sanji snapped.
In the kitchen of the Straw Hat Pirates' ship/home Thousand Sunny, Sanji is making a special full-course lunch buffet for everyone onboard. Natsu and Luffy were whining for about a whole hour, much to Sanji's total irritation.
Ichigo Kurosaki banged the duo on their heads.
"What the hell, man?!" Natsu snapped.
"How about instead of bothering the chef, let's go outside before you delay everyone's lunch." Ichigo explained.
Natsu and Luffy blew raspberries out of annoyance.

Outside is a glorious, sunny day with everyone from the Gang (comprised of the Fairy Tail wizards, the Straw Hats, Ichigo's group, and Class 3-E) doing fun activities.
Nagisa Shiota was practicing baseball tosses with Tomohito Sugino and Blue (who herself wanted in on the fun), Blizzard was laying near the edge of the rails Happy, Tony Tony Chopper, Usopp, Romeo Conbolt and Masayoshi Kimura were fishing for anything good, Lucy Heartfilia was tending tangerines with Nami, Kaede Kayano was strictly teaching Orihime Inoue and Rio Nakamura how to make pudding, Roronoa Zoro, Erza Scarlet and Pantherlily (in his battle form) were practicing their swordsmanship, Wendy Marvell and Toka Yada were making flower headbands with Carla sitting to the side drinking her favorite tea, Franky was steering the ship while whistling, Ryunosuke Chiba, Rinka Hayami, Usopp and Uryu Ishida were practicing their sharpshooting skills with empty bottles or any kind of trash on the sea, Brook and Gajeel Redfox were trying to come up with many songs that could give more theme to their day, Levy McGarden, Rukia Kuchiki and Nico Robin were currently reading a dystopian story that is really effective and has real depth and emotion, Yuzuki Fuwa was reading to herself the current anime news on her smartphone with excitement, Yasutora Sado was helping Yuma Isogai, Meg Kataoka and Sosuke Sugaya with setting up chairs and tables, Karma Akabane was helping Manami Okuda with a new chemistry breakthrough (but his hands around her waist and laying his head on her shoulder makes it hard for her to focus due to the affectionate teasing making the chemist blushing bright red), and lastly Gray Fullbuster was helping Juvia Lockser, Hiroto Maehara, Hinata Okano, Renji Abarai, Yukiko Kanzaki and Ryoma Terasaka were using a laptop to watch the movie "The Expendables 3".
Natsu, Luffy and Ichigo just arrived outside to greet everyone.
"About time you two came out." Lucy said.
"Well, Sanji was taking - so long we got bored." Luffy complained.
"After I gave you two a hit on the head first." Ichigo said.
"Still hurts." Natsu grumbled.
"No surprise from the two biggest idiots." Gray said.
"Shut up, stripper!" Natsu exclaimed.
"No fighting!" Erza hollered.
"Sorry!" Natsu and Gray hollered.
"Wish the shitty chef would hurry faster without any distractions." Zoro explained.
"I HEARD THAT!" Sanji shouted.
"Amazing Sanji heard that." Happy commented.
"Trust me - Zoro's insults are among the many things Sanji has the instinct to know." Usopp explained.
"And we still haven't caught any fish for the last hour." Usopp added.
Happy, Chopper, Romeo and Kimura sulked a bit.
"Lunch is ready!" Sanji hollered, opening the door.
"ALREADY?!" Natsu, Happy, Ichigo, Blue, Romeo, Gajeel, Usopp, Chopper, Uryu, Renji, Sugino, Maehara, Kimura, Sugaya and Terasaka exclaimed in unison.
"Amazing when you get done so much faster with no one to distract you." Nagisa thought, having a sweat drop on his forehead.
"Be a dear and bring it out to us, Sanji-kun." Nami said.
"As you wish, Nami-swan!" Sanji hollered, doing his "Love Hurricane".

Several minutes later, everyone gathered at a massive table outside the deck with all kinds of full-course meals comprised of three meat dishes, two ramen & rice dishes, three pasta dishes, four seafood dishes, two vegetable dishes, and four desert dishes. To the side are plenty of snacks like chips and fruits, and lots of drinks like water, soda, beer and booze. There's also plenty of dog food for Blizzard and Blue to the floor.
"THANK YOU FOR THE MEAL!" Natsu, Happy, Luffy, Blizzard, Ichigo, Nagisa, Blue, Lucy, Gray, Erza, Wendy, Carla, Romeo, Juvia, Gajeel, Pantherlily, Levy, Nami, Zoro, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Robin, Franky, Brook, Orihime, Rukia, Uryu, Sado, Renji, Kayano, Karma, Sugino, Isogai, Maehara, Okuda, Kanzaki, Nakamura, Kataoka, Okano, Yada, Kimura, Sugaya, Fuwa, Chiba, Hayami and Terasaka shouted in unison.
Everyone began eating to their heart's content while conversing with each other.
"Say ah~, Gray-sama." Juvia said, trying to "baby feed" Gray with a fork-held piece of meatball.
"I can feed myself!" Gray exclaimed, not wearing any clothes except for his underwear.
"Put some clothes on, you idiot!" Renji exclaimed.
"Fishy, fishy~! Get in my tummy~!" Happy sang, getting ready to eat his fish.
"You always eat fish, kiddo." Blizzard commented, eating his peanut butter cookie.
"And you always eat anything with peanut butter." Blue commented, chewing on a piece of well-made steak.
"No one can deny my kiwi dish!" Pantherlily hollered, chewing on a whole kiwifruit.
"Not as much as I love iron!" Gajeel hollered, munching on some metal slabs.
"Eat regular food, Gajeel!" Levy exclaimed.
"Can't we all try to eat in peace?" Uryu asked, totally annoyed.
"Afraid we can't." Sado answered.
"This is a dream come true!" Fuwa hollered, wolfing down on her ramen dish with comical tears in her eyes.
"Stop being dramatic, Fuwa-chan." Kayano said, having a sweat drop on her forehead.
"She can't help it." Kanzaki said, giggling.
"All of her favorite characters eating with her isn't hard to contain." Sugino explained.
"You wanna have a piece of my cupcake, Yada-san? It's really tasty." Wendy said, holding out a strawberry frosted vanilla cupcake.
"Sure." Yada replied, trying out the cupcake.
"Cotton candy's the best!" Chopper hollered, chewing on a blueberry cotton candy.
"Party time!" Romeo, Usopp, Kimura and Sugaya hollered in unison.
"SUPER PARTY TIME!" Franky hollered, doing his signature pose.
"Can all of you shut up?" Kataoka asked, getting irritated.
"Now, now." Isogai said, trying to calm his girlfriend down.
"And they say I'm hard to deal with." Terasaka said.
"May I ask, Rukia-san. Okano-san… Can I see your panties?" Brook asked.
"LIKE HELL!" Rukia and Okano shouted in unison, furiously kicking Brook in the face together.
Maehara unfortanetly got involved with a kick by Okano accidentally.
"Why me?" Maehara asked.
"Drinking booze is what I do best!" Zoro hollered, drinking another round of booze.
"You sure love booze, dear." Robin commented.
"Your cooking is amazing, Sanji-san." Orihime commented.
"Especially the strawberry cake! It's absolute perfection!" Erza hollered, chewing on a big slice of strawberry cake.
"I aim to please you, my dears!" Sanji hollered, doing his "Love Hurricane" again.
"This chicken tastes good." Hayami said, getting a taste of teriyaki chicken.
"At least it's not like Sniper Cooking X." Chiba thought, shuttering to remember Hayami's "Sniper Cooking X".
"Hey, Manami. You got some sauce on your face." Karma said, wiping some leftover sauce on Okuda's right cheek.
"K-Karma-kun!" Okuda squeaked, getting flustered yet again.
"Aw~! The happy devil-angel couple." Nakamura commented.
"Looks like everyone's having a wonderful time." Lucy said.
"You said it, girl." Nami said.
"This is the best party we could ever ask for." Nagisa said.
"Got that right, my friend." Ichigo commented.
"PARTY!" Natsu and Luffy shouted in unison, arms draped over shoulders with chunks of meat in their opposite free hands.
Everyone in the gang laughed and have a very wonderful time on the Sunny, not feeling any kind of whatever trouble comes their way!
It was a fun chapter and really glad to myself of not losing [my] touch. A very important announcement to any and all who don't know. There's plenty to talk about.
To start with recent events, I've decided after giving a very long train of thought that I will no longer be doing the World Chronicles Crossover series, including the Fun Files of each respective story. There's a good reason because I've only been repeating the same storyline for each story despite the different perspectives, and none of them are even original at all.
I recently became interested in Shaman King since the 2021 remake, and thought that it could've been part of the great crossover if I watched the 2001 version long before starting fanfiction. I also been using Naruto and Bleach in similar crossovers for too long and decided to use them separately, to match well with other series.
But on the bright side, I found a new resolution in creating crossovers once more, and made the announcement to the many series used by the year of 2023: Naruto, Fairy Tail, Shaman King, The Legend of Korra, Haikyū! (Based of Haikyū! Ninjas), One Piece, Bleach, Soul Eater, Attack on Titan, Kuroko's Basketball (based off Kuroko's World Adventure), Saint Seiya Omega, Tales of Arise, RWBY, My Hero Academia, Black Clover, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Assassination Classroom (with Class E having assassin-based abilities from some of the best hitmen, assassins, soldiers, etc., from all kinds of media related to crime and world affairs), Persona 5, and last but not least, Fire Emblem: Three Houses and its spin-off, Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes (and 3 if you use all 3 different routes with the two versions of Shez (I'll give the female a different name to avoid confusion) and the female Byleth. I haven't decided on the overall crossover franchises, but I've already decided to do crossovers with one being Naruto, Fairy Tail, Shaman King, The Legend of Korra and Haikyū!, and the second being One Piece, Bleach, Soul Eater, Attack on Titan and Kuroko's Basketball. Those 10 were already planned out based on the diverse, ensemble and/or all-str cast, a balanced style of abilities, skills and how different powers can compliment one another, and the character interactions I played in my head while working on the World Chronicles series. The rest I need more time to think about. Reason is, ever since I learned, watched and even bought Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes this year, I've became addicted to the game and Fire Emblem: Three Houses overall I can't seem to get it out of my head. That latest Fire Emblem was what I needed all along. But more information on what I have plan for the remaining 14 series will come by the end of the year. As for the first two crossovers will take place on our very own Planet Earth, living in America (like New York City and Los Angeles). Other ideas would also be Japan (Tokyo and Yokohama).
Back then, I would've made earlier crossovers by 2016-2017 with just Naruto, Fairy Tail, Shaman King, The Legend of Korra, Haikyū!, One Piece, Bleach, Soul Eater, Attack on Titan and Kuroko's Basketball had I'd watch each of these from the late 2000s up to 2016 through anime, western animation, books, video games and video clips, I would've done crossovers like that. But it is what it is, and all the old crossovers were helping me figure out how to make the ones I really wanted to make with all my heart.
From the summer until the end of the year, I'll simply focus on one-shots or whatever I have in mind to pass the time. But I am mostly on break to give myself some space. I am putting all old World Chronicles stuff that will be totally revised into whatever new crossovers by 2023. By that year while doing the new main stories, I'll do something like the old World Chronicles Summer Tales with everything the same, but totally different in a myriad of ways (example: more chapters). I haven't thought of any OC characters yet, so that will explained later on too.
So let me say again thank you to all who loved the World Chronicles Series a lot and express my profound apologies for stopping the whole crossover franchise without warning. But I promise as always to try my best as a writer to create stories that you'll all be interested in without regret. And even if some may not like what I write, I'm not into getting compliments or complaints. I just want to share what I like, but always treat all equally in both fiction, and what I believe in equality in real life.
I want to thank so many for supporting for so long and wish me luck once more in creating these new stories with all my heart and soul. And remember, while nothing lasts forever, we must always live our lives to the fullest!
