Chapter Three: At What Cost?

"Oh my God, it's made out of doughnuts!" gasped Serena, looking at the giant pirate ship made of pastries.

"I'm hungry all of a sudden," moaned Luffy, rubbing his belly.

"I sense danger," warned Sasuke, "Everyone! Prepare yourselves!" All of a sudden, a metal doughnut with razor sprinkles came flying out of the ship, narrowly missing Luffy.

"Arrr harrrr," bellowed a voice.

"Who's there?" demanded Serena. There was the whoosh of cloth against wind, and a tall, bearded pirate appeared on the beach. He had spiky, wild orange hair, and he had a fork for his left hand."I am Captain Altair. I come for all females and doughnuts! Hand the blonde wench over and no one gets hurt," he ordered.

"Make-up!" shouted Serena, and with a little dance and some magic she turned into Sailor Moon, "You're not taking me anywhere!" Captain Altair snickered.

"Then if you don't come with me, my crew will be rather…. inappropriate to the wenches on board," cackled Captain Altair. Asuka and Osaka were hanging up in a net on the ship.

"How could you? You will pay for this! Gum gum double barrel!" shouted Luffy. He pulled back his arms, preparing for his attack, but was stopped by Sasuke. "If you hurt him, those two might not live. Don't think irrationally." advised Sasuke.

"Fine! I'll go with you!" pouted Sailor Moon, surrendering herself to Captain Altair.

"No, take me," said Ritsu.

"But Ritsu…," whined Sailor Moon, "You're…."

"But they don't know that," replied Ritsu, "Feel free to take me aboard, Captain. Just leave Serena alone."

"Arr, we have a deal," agreed Captain Altair, snapping his fingers to signal his crew to put Ritsu aboard. As they carried Ritsu away, Sailor Moon turned back into Serena. "But what shall we do about Osaka and Asuka?" she questioned Luffy and Sasuke. The ship was now pulling away from shore.

"Just be patient," said Sasuke, "I believe Ritsu has a plan we don't know about…"

"Heheheee. We found ourselves some pretty wenches," chuckled Captain Altair. He poked Asuka's belly with his finger.

"Hey! Don't touch me!" oredered Asuka. The pimpy pirate poked her again. Asuka poked him in the arm.

"A poking war is declared!" exclaimed Osaka. While Asuka was in a poking war, Ritsu was in a corner, muttering to GIR, who hid in his kimono.

"Now GIR, when I take off my kimono, you must make your eyes glow red. I will then say everything necessary, alright?"

"Alright taco," whispered GIR.

"Hey, guys!" shouted Ritsu, "It's time for a little teaser!" All the male pirate turned around and began to drool with excitement. Ritsu ripped off his kimono and GIR hopped out.

"She's no a woman! It's a male!" yelled the pirates. Then, GIR's eyes began to glow crimson.

"If you do not take me and the girls back to the island, I shall order my monster to zap you all instantly to smithereens with his Eye Beams!" The pirates screamed like girls, even Captain Altair.

"Aye matey! We shall take you back! Just don't sic your monster on us!" cried Captain Altair, wiping tears from his eyes. And then, the pirate ship turned around, and sailed back to Shreenan Island.

"YES! Land!" cried Osaka happily, kissing the beach ground.

"At first Ritsu, I thought you were an insecure dork like Shinji. But, I guess I owe you one, don't I?" said Asuka.

"Thank-you," said Ritsu, smiling.

"And thank-you for the food!" thanked Luffy, patting his belly (he ate the doughnut ship, as well as the people on it).

"Hey, is everyone alright?" questioned Ed, appearing on the scene, "Oh, wait, I'm late, aren't I?"

Everybody nodded their heads. Even though he didn't help, Ed felt good knowing that his fellows were safe and sound.

"My cards!" whined Yugi. And with that, Ed transmuted some nearby plants into depression medication, and gave them to Yugi so he would quit crying.

Next on Shreenan Island: Luffy gets hunger fever, and begins to eat the island off the face of the earth! What will happen to the others? Only Chapter Four will tell! Please Review!
