Time for Review Response!
Suuki-Aldrea: Yep, it's Akane, how many anime characters get kidnapped all the time... well Kagome from Inu-Yasha but she's not in this story
kiyone4ever: Actually I moved on Saturday and my family didn't have internet for a few days... I also haven't been able to work on it ether, I've been busy withum... cleaning my room... yeah that's the ticket (whistles innocently while hiding One Piece Grand Battle behind back). Great idea for a fanfic by the way although my boyfriend (winter knight) is considering a fanfic called perverts anonymous in which various perverts including Happosai, Sanji, Miroku and others are in a center trying clench their perverted ways, it doesn't help that the Nurse Joy (of Pokemon) convention is in the same building. However on the other hand with Happosai all the Straw Hats have to deal with Happosai, you'll like one of the ways they deal with him.
Chapter 7: Almost There
Ranma stood on the ocean, which was odd because 1. How can you stand on water and 2. he was chibi for some strange reason.
"Hey Ranma!" yelled a voice.
He turned around and saw Luffy, Ryoga, Mousse, Chopper, Robin and Shampoo, all of them were chibi too, except for Chopper… he was in his normal size.
"What's going on?" asked Ranma.
"I don't know… all I remember is that the thing I was doing was eating meat" said Luffy.
Everyone stared at the idiot captain, except for Robin who stated "I think this is that dream that Cologne said about to Ryoga and Luffy."
An island appeared from nowhere and an arrow pointed at it.
"Is that where it is?" asked Chopper.
"We're close!" said Ranma.
Everything went black, Ranma woke to find all of the other guys who had the dream had woken up.
"We are close!" said Ryoga.
"I think we should go get the girls!" said Luffy.
Ranma looked at the unconscious dirty old man... which means the trap that Usopp made was still set.
"Luffy wait…." Said Ranma but the idiot captain had already left the room.
Luffy went to the deck and opened the girl's door. A mallet came from on top of the door, knocked him over, he fell down the stairs and a small cage fell on his head.
"Luffy…" said Shampoo.
All the girls woke up thinking it was Happosai, then they saw it was Luffy.
"Why is he here?" said Akane.
"We finally had that dream." said Robin.
Meanwhile in the guys room all of those who asleep woke up from the noise. Zoro was about to see what happening. Ranma stopped him
"It's just Luffy, we had that dream he went to go get the girls but forgot about the trap" said Ranma.
"Oh…" said Zoro.
"Well since the trap is unset!" yelled Happosai breaking out of his cage.
"Oh no you don't!" yelled Ranma.
After Happosai was subdued everyone met in the galley to discus what was going on. They looked at one of Nami's maps.
"According yo your dream you saw Liji Island, a small uninhabited island. Why would the world merger be there? I would have thought somewhere from your world" said Nami.
"Person who stole it want devil fruit. So it make sense that it there." said Shampoo.
"You 6 sure what you saw?" asked Akane.
"Yeah" said Ranma.
"Wait 6?" said Luffy, he began to count the ones who were cursed.
"Yeah you know Luffy, you, Robin, Chopper, Ranma, Mousse and Shampoo" said Usopp.
"Wait about Ry…." Said Luffy but Ryoga tackled him before he could finish his sentence.
"It figures he forgot" said Zoro under his breath.
(Flashback)
It was when they were looking for Ranma and Shampoo, Ryoga told the Straw Hats that he needed to tell them something.
"You can't tell Akane I turn into a pig!" said Ryoga.
"Why?" asked Luffy.
Ryoga began to blush bright red "W...w...well it's" stammered Ryoga.
"You like her?" said Nami.
Ryoga turned an even brighter shade of red, if it was possible.
"Well I like her too, she seems nice" said Luffy.
"Not like that Luffy!" yelled the other Straw Hats.
"He likes her and in he loves her" said Usopp.
Ryoga turned an even brighter shade of red.
"Oh I get it now!" said Luffy lying.
(End of flashback)
"Is everything okay?" asked Akane.
"Everything's fine" said Ryoga laughing nervously.
"Idiots" muttered Ranma.
Later Sanji needed to talk to Ranma.
"What is it?" asked Ranma knowing what it was about.
"Well it's about Lung-Lung" said Sanji.
"You want to get rid of her…" said Ranma.
"You must know a way! I know that you having all those girls around you must…" said Sanji but Ranma cut him.
"Hey, I don't like any of my fiancés… if you weren't from another world I'd let you have any of them, poetically Akane. If you're trying to find an escape clause or something there isn't one otherwise Shampoo wouldn't be here" said Ranma.
Sanji felt angry by the fact that Ranma bad mouthed girls. He wanted to kick him, but he Ranma would see that coming. He glared at the martial artist.
Meanwhile a nearby pirate ship saw the Merry Go.
"That's the straw hats, they should of plenty of treasure on that ship…" said the captain looking thought a telescope.
"Don't you dare attack them." said a voice.
The captain turned around and saw a young man… the same young man who stole the world merger.
"Who are you!" yelled the captain staring at the stowaway.
"My name is Hiroshi Hikari!" said the young man.
"And what you want?" asked the captain.
"To prevent you from attacking the Straw hats, they are my target, after all they want to destroy my dream." said Hikari.
Hikari took out a bucket of water and splashed himself, the last thing the captain saw was that Hikari transformed into… something and then he was knocked out.
Not long later Hikari was on small boat thinking to himself. He had heard that Cologne, an elder Amazon had gotten a few Jusenkyo cursed people on her side to destroy the world merger not only that but he had she had also recruited the Straw Hat pirates which he had heard that two people and one reindeer who had eaten a devil fruits. He knew he had to take them out before he had search for a Devil Fruit. He also studied about the non-cursed people on the boats in particular one of them had a bizarre habit of getting kidnapped a lot.
"Today is the day I shall make my appearance." He said to himself.
He got close enough to the ship to unnoticed that is until he splashed himself with cold water, but he waited just a bit. He splashed himself and flew to the Merry Go.
Back on the ship every single girl except for the twins chased the tiny pervert.
"I still can't believe who have to deal with this everyday!" said Nami.
All the guys and the twins sighed at this as they were watching the chase.
"This getting crazy…" said Ling-Ling.
"We lucky we no have to deal with pervert man" said Lung-Lung.
Lung-Lung looked up and saw something flying to the ship.
"What that?" yelled Lung-Lung.
Everyone stopped the chase and looked up and saw the thing flying the ship, it was a golden animal, it had the head of an ox and wings of a crane, the body of a yeti and a tail that looked like an eel.
"What is that thing!" yelled Usopp getting scared.
"I know what that is!" said Akane.
"Niu ho man maolen niichuan" said Shampoo.
"Spring of drowned yeti riding an ox while caring an eel and a crane" translated Ranma
"That's a mouth full." said Zoro.
"It's definitely not Panty Hose Taro, he's a much darker color" said Ryoga.
"So you dealt with someone who fell in the spring before… wait was that the guy's nick name." said Sanji.
"No his given name, take a wild guess who named him." said Ranma.
All the Straw hats figured it was Happosai.
The monster landed on the ship, he took out a kettle from pocket space and changed to human… it was Hikari. All the ones who were cursed reacted when they saw him.
"You're the one who stole the thingies!" said Luffy.
"Yes I was…" said Hikari.
Then he noticed the flaming fire ball named Akane, he forgot one thing… he was naked.
"You pervert!" yelled Akane.
"Oh no!" screamed Hikari.
Akane pulled every single thing she had in pocket space and threw it at him, including a kitchen sink.
After it was all done Chopper screamed "Somebody call a doctor!"
"Um… Chopper, you are a doctor…" said Ranma.
When Ranma and the others first arrived Chopper went though a lot of stress causing him to become very serous, but since then he has gotten used to the daily pummeling's and other oddities caused by those from Nerima.
After the bizarre um… fit of rage that Hikari received he took out some clothes pocket space and began to explain what was going on.
"Yes I was the one that stole the world merger! I have heard all about you, amazing what you can find one the internet and word of mouth." Said Hikari, "I know all about all of you! Ranma, you can't tell your mother about your curse other wise she'll make you commit seppuku!"
"How did you know that!" yelled Ranma.
"Luffy, you're so stupid you forgot the name of your village!" said Hikari.
"Hey that's not true!" said Luffy which was entirely true.
"Ryoga, you are Akane's p…" said Hikari but he was cut off mid sentence by Ryoga beating him up.
"Is everything alright…" said Akane.
Ryoga laughed nervously "Yes everything's fine!" said Ryoga.
Hikari deiced to stop for he fear for his life, after all he was about to revile the fact that Zoro can deal with female navy officers well which would have killed him. After suffering the beating he started from the last thing he was going to revel.
"Akane I know how many times you get kidnapped, I also know how easy it is to kidnap you!" said Hikari walking up to Akane.
He grabbed her arm, which encouraged the wrath of Kuno "Fowl Cretan! I don't know what magic you used but you shall know the wrath of Kuno Tatewaki!" said Kuno who was about to strike him with her sword but Hikari punched him. Kuno wound up on his insane sister and both were knocked out.
"See how strong I am!" said Hikari.
"That was nothing!" yelled everyone else, in fact every single person on the ship had knocked out Kuno even Usopp on accident as well as Nabiki and she doesn't even fight.
"Oh I forgot…" mumbled Hikari, he sighed "Ether way she's mine!"
He garbed her arm and took out a bucket from pocket space. Before anyone could do anything he flew away with Akane at hand.
"Akane!" yelled Ryoga.
"No!" yelled Sanji.
"No again…" said Ranma.
"How many times does she get kidnapped again?" asked Nami.
"Once a month, at least" said Nabiki.
"It's not once a month… well yeah it's once a month." said Ranma.
"I no know where but I heard that joke before" said Ling-Ling.
"Well I guess we have to fallow him" said Luffy.
"We have no choice he has the world merger." said Ranma.
And so the two groups went to the island in hopes of destroying the world merger and rescuing Akane… again.
Next Time: The battle begins... it doesn't help that Usopp is playing dead, Mousse tried to attack with a kiddy potty and Ling-Ling and Lung-Lung make Luffy dance. But when Hikari tried to harm Akane, Ryoga's emotions get the better of Hikari (that wasn't a typo). Will they be able to help will Usopp be of any help? Will everyone stop laughing at the name of Zoro's "rice ball" attack? Find out next time.
A/N: Once again sorry for the long update been busy with the move and my room (counties to hide video game behind back). Oh yeah I did in fact reuse a joke from Pieces of the Past, the part where Ranma says "It's not once a month… well yeah it's once a month" is very similar to Inu-Yasha's line "It's not once a month… well yeah I guess it is once a month." That's why Ling-Ling said that she heard the joke before. Oh yeah one more thing, if you know how get Mihawk in the PS2 version One Piece gland battle please tell (still continues to hide video game behind back).
