So you wonder how One Piece and Digimon can work together? I'll show you!
Team 3: Peach, Captain Falcon, Marth, Roy, Ness, Dr. Mario, Game & Watch, Pichu, and Parry
WORLD NAME:
DIGITAL DESERT
Chapter 55: Encounter with a Ballerina in the Desert!
A warp star crashes in the middle of a desert.
CRASH!
Peach gets up first and dusts the sand off her dress. "Now I'm dusty all over! I even got sand in my hair and it itches!"
"Why can't anyone land the warp star safely?" asks Ness.
"Because nobody knows how to steer it," replies Roy.
"Okay, we're in the middle of a desert. Where do we go?" asks Parry.
"Oh look! I see a caravan there!" says Ness, pointing to some vehicles moving in the distance.
"I believe that's a mirage," says Marth. "It's too random to have a caravan around here." They look closely at the caravan, and then it disappears. Indeed, it's a mirage. "Told ya."
"Hey! There's an oasis there!" points out Pichu.
"I believe it's another mirage," says CF.
"That one looks real to me," says Marth this time.
"Well, then I'll go over there and show you!" CF runs to the oasis ahead of them and then shouts back. "I don't see any oasis here! It's a mirage!"
"That's why I hate the desert…" grumbles G&W. "Mirages everywhere…"
The Smashers walk through the burning desert, looking for anything worth noticing. Because of the blazing sun, they are all dehydrated. "I need water…" complains Pichu.
"Well, we're in luck!" says Ness. "I see another oasis there!"
"Mirage!" says CF.
"But it looks so real! We're so close to it already and it doesn't disappear!"
"Some mirages can look very real. I'll show you!" CF runs up to the oasis and…
SPLASH!
"Well?" asks Ness.
CF sticks his head out of the water. "Okay, you win…"
So they all revive themselves at the oasis. It has plenty of clean water and fruit trees. Peach washes her face and her hair. "Ah… That's better…"
Pichu is speeding back and forth in the water, enjoying the swim. "Yeah!"
"Don't swim in it! You're making the water dirty!" Roy says to him.
"Okay…" mutters Pichu as he leaves the water.
Roy takes a handful of water to drink when all of a sudden Dr. Mario emerges from the water. "Ahhh! This is life!"
Roy spits out the water and scolds him, "I SAID DON'T SWIM IN THE WATER!"
CF notices a fort in the distance. "Hey, I think I see a city there."
"It's far too random for a city to be built here," says Marth. "It's a mirage."
"But I believe it's real."
"Mirage."
"Real."
"Mirage."
"Real."
"Mirage."
"Wanna bet? I'll go over there and prove to you it's real!"
"Fine! The loser has to do the hokey-pokey without his pants!"
"You're sick!" says Peach.
CF turns to Ness and tells him to PSI Teleport him to that city. "All right, hold onto my back," says Ness. CF holds onto his back. "PSI TELEPORT!" Ness rushes towards the direction of the city very fast, and he disappears along with CF.

The two of them ends up in front of the fort's gate in just a blink of an eye. "See! I knew it's real!" says CF.
"Let's go inside," suggests Ness. They push open the gate and step inside, and they see a large black dinosaur standing in front of them.
"Who are you intruders?" roars the dinosaur. "Nobody gets pass Master Tyrannomon!"
"We're just visiting," says Ness. "And are you a Digimon?"
"So what?"
"Just asking, since you can talk."
"Get out of here! I do not allow anyone else to come in since that incident!"
"What incident?"
"Some humans kidnapped our elder Gennai! Wait a minute… Can you be related to those humans who did it?"
"You're not blaming us, are you?" asks CF.
"Well, I'm blaming you for the kidnapping case of Gennai! You're going to pay!"
-
Meanwhile, back at the oasis…
"What's taking them so long?" asks G&W.
"No idea," replies Peach.
"Please let it be a mirage," Marth says to himself. He doesn't not want to go bare butt naked ever since that incident in my other story Time in 10 Lives Apartment.
Now next to the oasis is a tall mesa, and on top of the mesa are several people standing next to a vehicle designed to travel in the desert.
"So here we are, in the burning hot desert," says that one familiar person named Mr. 2. "Where can the appointed place be? Thinking of this makes me thirsty."
"Would you like a drink, Mr. 2 Bon Clay?" ask all his followers at the same time.
"What I prefer to do right now is to dance ballet! It is important to maintain the way of the ballerina!" He begins spinning around on his toe and dances around too. He is so obsessed with his dancing that he did not notice that he danced himself off the cliff. And he falls… "YAAAAAAAA!"
"NOOOOOOOOOO! MR. 2 BON CLAY!" scream his followers in unison.
-
At the bottom of the mesa, Mr. 2 falls into the oasis water with a splash.
SPLASH!
"I think something just fell into the water," says Dr. Mario.
Mr. 2 emerges from the water and cries for help, "Help! I can't swim!" And he begins to sink, so Dr. Mario quickly jumps in to rescue him.
After making him cough out water, Mr. 2 comes back to life. "I'm so thankful! I have been rescued by people I do not even know!"
"You should learn how to swim," Dr. Mario says to him.
"But I can't… It's because I have Devil Fruit powers."
"You ate a Devil Fruit?" asks Pichu. "What powers do you have?"
"Perhaps before my followers come to pick me up, I shall show you some of it! I usually don't show my powers publicly, but since you are my rescuers, I will show you!"
He touches Dr. Mario in the face, and then taps his own face. To everyone's surprise, his face changes into Dr. Mario's! Even the voice is the same! "Now you see? This is the power of the Mane Mane Fruit! I can change into the person I touched before!"
"Wow! That's so cool!" exclaims Pichu.
"Incredible! Even the voice is identical!" says Roy.
Mr. 2 proceeds to touch the rest of the Smashers and change his face into theirs one by one. "No matter who I touch, I can change into him or her!" He changes his face into Peach's face. "Even the body can be changed!" He pulls open his ballet costume and flashes his Peach form body.
"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" hoot the men when they see it.
Peach smashes Mr. 2 over the head angrily. "STOP IT!"
"Sorry…" apologizes Mr. 2 "Anyway, I can change into that person as long as I remember how he or she looks like!" He changes his face into the people he has touched in the past.
"That's way too cool!" exclaim Pichu and Parry.
"Hey, what's that vehicle over there?" points out G&W.
"Oh! That's my followers coming to pick me up!" replies Mr. 2.
The desert vehicle stops in front of them and the followers poke their heads out from the window. "We found you!"
Mr. 2 turns to the Smashers. "I have to go now. It can't be helped… We have to go separate ways from here."
Pichu and Parry begin to cry for no apparent reason. "Don't go!"
Mr. 2 begins to cry also. "Separation is inevitable… But as long as our friendship is bond together, we will never forget each other's face!"
"We'll never forget you! We won't!"
So Mr. 2 goes inside the vehicle and instructs his men to drive out. "Let's get moving!"
"Yes! Mr. 2 Bon Clay!" So the vehicle zooms off into the distance.
Something comes into Peach's mind upon hearing the name Mr. 2. "Mr. 2… Mr. 3… Mr. 2… Mr. 3… WAIT A MINUTE!"
"What's wrong, Peach?" Marth asks her.
"That person's name is Mr. 2! He may be our enemy!"
"Why do you say that?" asks Roy. Peach explains to them about her mission in Halloween Town and her encounter with Mr. 3.
"It appears that all these mister number names are related to each other and they are all followers of the Darkling King," says Peach as a closing statement.
"I get your point… But it's a good thing that Mr. 2 doesn't recognize any of us," says Marth. "He made friends out of us, so he definitely won't report it to his superior."
"Well, that's one good thing…"
-
Just outside the fort gate…
"The first person to get pinned to the ground loses!" says Master Tyrannomon.
"Sounds fair and easy," says CF, punching his palm.
"And it's two on one," adds Ness.
"Begin!" MT opens his mouth and shoots out a large fireball. Ness hops forward and activates a shield that absorbs the fireball!
"PSI Magnet just powered up my powers! PSI Paralyze!" Ness shoots out an invisible ray from his finger, and when it hit MT, he freezes in place.
"Gah! I can't move!"
CF runs in front of CF and punches in fast and furiously. "Mach Punch!" And then he pulls back his arm. "FALCON PUNCH!" He punches MT in the stomach hard, making him fly backwards, but he is able to land on his feet.
"I'm not finished yet!" roars MT.
"Then this will finish you! PSI Rocking!" Ness shoots out bright and colorful beams of light. It hits MT and blasts him backwards until he hits the gate wall, but he still doesn't fall down.
CF rushes to him and jumps up besides his head, and kicks him in the head with a powerful roundhouse kick. MT is sent flying aside and rolling along the sand until he stops. "Yes! You lied down on the ground, so you lose!" says CF.
"Fine, you win!" says MT. "You are really strong! Can you be the ones Gennai said?"
"About a bunch of Nintendo people who will come save the world?" asks Ness.
"I think that's what he said… He said you are the ones that will destroy the Darkling."
"Yep, we're the ones!" CF tells him.
"Then I'm sorry for treating you badly! I mistook you for the evil humans who kidnapped Gennai."
"If that's the case, we will go rescue this Gennai," says Ness.
"I believe they went towards that direction," says MT, pointing towards the west. "Actually, they left only a few hours ago, so you might be able to catch up with them if you run fast."
"Then why don't you after them yourself?" Ness asks him.
"Because I lost to the kidnapper! He has Devil Fruit powers! He can produce wax from his body and forge it into all kinds of weapons! He trapped me in a wax cage and sealed my mouth with a wax gag to prevent me from breathing fire, the only thing that melts his waxes."
"Sounds reasonable… Okay, we'll rescue Gennai!" says CF. "But we'll have to get back to our friends and tell him about it first!" So CF and Ness PSI Teleport back to the others.
-
G&W is about to say what's taking them so long when the two of them shows up all of a sudden, standing on top of him.
"Sorry about that, Game," apologizes Ness for standing on him.
"We got a mission right now," says CF. "We have to rescue someone from the hands of some wicked villain." He explains to them about Master Tyrannomon and how some person named Gennai is taken away by someone who fights with wax.
"That's Mr. 3!" says Peach upon hearing the phrase 'someone who fights with wax'.
"Let's go take revenge on him for how he treated you that time," suggests Roy. "And of course, we'll also rescue this Gennai too. He may tell us about the Dark Reactor too."
"And we should be careful of any enemies on our tail," says Marth. "We just met Mr. 2, though he thinks we're not his enemy. Still, we must keep an eye on this situation."
"You met Mr. 2?" CF asks him.
"Yes. You know him?"
"I fought with him during my team's mission to Pokemon Coliseum."
"And apparently, he's a gay ballerina who can change into someone else," adds Ness.
"Yes, he said he ate the Mane Mane Fruit, which allows him to do so," says Dr. Mario. "Now I fear if he shows up as one of us to deceive us."
After much discussion, they go towards the direction the kidnappers supposedly went. Marth is relieved that even though he loss the bet, CF did not remember about it. This happiness was shattered when CF says out loud, "Marth, you lost the bet! Dance the hokey-pokey without your pants!"
