A/N: Once again something based off of Ranma, this time is more of a composite of two different cure episodes. The first of the two is obvious, Water Proof Soap, if you have seen and or read Ranma then you already know. The second is when Kuno had the magic wish granting sword... if you have or seen Ranma then you may know what I'm talking about... if you haven't I'm not going to spoil it...

Chapter 5: Battle of the Soap

The Straw Hats socked on an island, it was the island before Konegi Island… however it took a week for the Log Pose to set. Usa diced to go shopping by herself. She was looking at various stalls and saw different things. She looked at one stall and saw something called "Water Proof Soap"

"Water Proof Soap… how can soap be water proof?" she asked.

The stall owner, an old man noticed her, "Well have you ever heard of Jusenkyo Island?" asked the stall owner.

"Yes… are you talking about the Amazon village or the springs?" asked Usa.

"The Springs, so you know about the curse, have you afflicted by it?" asked the stall owner.

"No, but my crew mates have, I kind of pushed him into spring of Drowned Girl…" said Usa.

'Ex-boyfriend?" asked the Stall owner.

"No pervert…" said Usa.

"Then you should have push him into… never mind anyways the person who uses it won't changed when wet." said the stall owner, "It's my last one too."

"Really!" said Usa, "How much?"

"500 berries" said the man.

She looked into her pocket, she only had 1,000 she shrugged and spent half of what she had on the waterproof soap. She still felt bad about pushing Sanji in to the spring not knowing that Zoro and Ko were planning to do it any ways. She very fast ran back to Merry Go, so fast she crashed into the ship. Ko and Nami were talking when they heard her crash. Ko look over to find Usa extremely dizzy on the ground.

"I told you to slow down when your running and you get near your destination…" said Ko.

Usa regained consciousness and managed to quite literality hopped on bored, thanks to her martial arts skills.

"Hey Ko, Nami do you know where Sanji is?" asked Usa.

"I think he's in the galley…" said Ko.

Usa ran to the galley… and forgot to slow down again. She crashed into the door and fell to the ground in a crumpled heap. Sanji-Chan opened the door after hearing the crash. She knew Usa must have been extremely excited about something. He looked down at the rabbit girl on the on the ground.

"Usa, what is it?" said Sanji-Chan.

Usa snapped out of her daze got up and pushed Sanji back into the Galley. "I have great news it's very great! Very, very good!" said Usa very fast.

Sanji-Chan stared at the rabbit girl she couldn't understand a word she said, "What?" she asked.

"I guess I should calm down right?" said Usa.

Sanji-Chan nodded. After a few minutes Usa finally told Sanji what she was going to tell him, "I found a cure… to your curse!"

"What?" said Sanji-Chan, "Are you sure?"

"That's what the guy said at the stall." said Usa.

"What if it doesn't work?" asked Sanji-Chan.

"Then we find the guy who runs the stall and beat him up!" said Usa with an evil smile.

"Over 100 berries, right?" asked Sanji-Chan.

Usa gave one of her trademark happy nods, she took out the soap from her pocket and gave it to Sanji, "Do what ever you like with it" she said. Not knowing that one line would start one of the most interesting events the crew has ever been though.

"Thanks." said Sanji-Chan.

Sanji-Chan went to take a bath which was currently unoccupied, during that bath he transformed back into a guy and used the soap. After the bath he deiced to test it, he splashed cold water on himself and didn't change back… he knew what to do with since he's done with it... keep away from Zoro if he ever found out...

Later during dinner Zoro and Sanji got into a fight again. It was time for one of them to splash the other with cold water, it was Sanji's turn. He got up and filled the splashing bucket and splashed Zoro. He knew that Zoro-Chan would splash him back. He smirked. While he and Usa was cooking dinner he told Usa that the soap worked and also asked her not to tell any that it was soap that cured his curse. Zoro-Chan grabbed the bucket out of his hands and filled it cold water. She splashed Sanji with cold water but nothing happened. Everyone was shocked including Usa who just pretended.

"H- how did you get cured?" asked Zoro-Chan.

"It's a secret, pine head." said Sanji.

Zoro-Chan began to get angry, "What was that Love Cook?" said Zoro-Chan.

"At least I'm not a girl any more." Said Sanji smirking.

Zoro-Chan began to even angrier.

Later that night in the girl's cabin they talked about Sanji being miraculously cured.

"It's strange… too strange…" said Ko.

"Miss Cat you don't think he's going to torture Master Swordsman with it, do you?" said Robin.

"I think that too." said Nami.

"But isn't nice that things are back to normal… well partially" said Usa.

"You're the one who found a cure, aren't you?" said Ko.

"What… no!" said Usa.

"I know you too well… spill." said Ko.

Usa sighed, Sanji should have known that she couldn't hide anything from Ko. However she could deny it until she accidentally blurt something out…

"I still don't know what your talking about." said Usa.

"So you used some sort of water, right?" said Ko.

"No it was soap…." said Usa, "D'oh!"

"Soap?" said Robin.

"Why are you talking about soap?" said Usa playing dumb.

"This is stupid…" said Nami.

"No kidding…" said Ko.

Meanwhile in the guys cabin Sanji got a chill, he knew that Usa might have accidentally blabbed.

The next morning, Ko approached Zoro who was training.

"Hey, I found out how Sanji was cured." said Ko.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"Yep, Usa was the one who cured him, apparently there's some sort of soap she gave him." said Ko.

"Apparently?" said Zoro.

"Well that's what Usa said." said Ko, "Well it should be time for my sister and Perv Master S to start breakfast…"

Just as she finished her sentence Sanji happened to climb onto the deck from the guy's cabin. Ko jumped to her perch so not to get caught in the crossfire.

"Hey, Magic Eyebrow…" said Zoro.

"What?" said Sanji.

"Is it true… that you cured yourself with soap?" asked Zoro.

"So how did you find out." said Sanji.

"Never have someone who can't keep a secret from someone who hates you." said Zoro pointing up.

Ko waved at Sanji with an evil smile, Sanji sweatdroped.

"So where is it?" asked Zoro.

"I knew that somehow this was going to happen… so I carry it around so that you can't get your hands on it." said Sanji.

"You bastard…" said Zoro.

The two began to take fighting stances. Just as the two were about to fight Usa got between the two.

"Sanji we should start breakfast." said Usa.

Sanji completely forgot about the fight, "Yes Usa!" he said in a loving way with his visible eye exploded into a pink heart.

Both headed into the galley, Zoro was extremely angry. Ko jumped down beside him.

"So how are you going to get, if I ask for it he'd know I'm trying to get it for you." said Ko.

"I don't know…" said Zoro.

"I bet he's going to be on guard, I wonder if there's someway to penetrate it… oh well remember the next island is Konegi Island you can always wait." said Ko.

Zoro got an idea… he didn't like it but it was the only to be cured once and for all…

Later Zoro-Chan was in the girl's cabin, alone. She sighed, she knew this would be the only for Sanji to let his guard down so he can steal the soap… his pride was stake he couldn't let the bastard keep the soap to himself… however what was he was doing also possibly hurt his pride as well. He was about to apply lipstick when Usa came down the stirs.

"I can explain…" said Zoro-Chan.

"Ko… Zoro hit his head again…" said Usa claiming up the stairs at full speed.

Zoro-Chan wondered what was that all about. No one had told about when he hit he head yet. Nami and Ko came into the room, and saw Zoro-Chan was about ot put on lipstick.

"At least he's not wearing one of Usa's sundresses" said Ko whispering into Nami's ear.

"What are you talking about?" said Zoro-Chan.

"If you didn't hit your head again… why are you putting lipstick on?" asked Ko.

"I'm going to on date with the love cook." mumbled Zoro.

Nami couldn't hear but Ko did, "Oh my god… so you are dating… I always thought it was a rumor… or a bad joke" said Ko with her eye twitching.

"What… no! I'm jut going out in disguise so I can steal the soap from him!" said Zoro.

Nami began to get a head ache, "You know that's a very stupid idea." She sighed.

"Why can't you just wait to see if there's a cure on Konegi Island." said Ko.

"I can't let him keep the soap!" said Zoro.

"Oh I get it… it's man thing… you can't let him keep because of your pride… am I right?" said Ko.

Zoro-Chan began to sweat drop, "Not only but your going out to steal it… dressed like a girl… wouldn't that hu4t out pride even more?" asked Ko.

Zoro-Chan began to sweat drop even more.

"If you insist on doing this, I'll help." said Ko.

Zoro was surprised "Uh… thanks." said Zoro.

"I have some clothes you can barrow and some stuff that will throw off Sanji, you don't need to wear make up if I loan you some accessories." said Ko.

Nami stared at the two of them "All this for a cure?" she thought, "I wonder if there's someone else who goes though the exact same thing for a cure"

Ko picked a dark blue long leaved shirt and white shorts, as well as a red back pack and a white hat, she loaned her some hair barrettes as well but nothing too girly just plain back ones on each of her hair. When Ko was done with the make over Zoro-Chan was a little surprised.

"Wow… I don't think he'll recognize me." said Zoro-Chan.

"Yeah I went with some girly stuff but nothing that would you would regret." said Ko, "I chose colors you wouldn't mind wearing and some stuff that you wouldn't mind"

"Thanks… it's a lot berates than wearing makeup" said Zoro-Chan, "Nami please don't tell anyone about this… or use it against me in the future."

"Fine I won't tell… or use it to black mail you" said Nami.

"Also one more thing, the back pack contains a subspace pocket, so you can put your swords in there, I know that eventually you may snap and you will want to fight him." said Ko.

Zoro sweatdroped at this sentence. "Perv Master S is out in the town so that's where can find him. Might I recommend the fake bump in…" said Ko.

Both Zoro-Chan and Ko suddenly shuddered.

"I can see both of you are equally disgusted by this." said Nami.

Both nodded, it was true, Zoro-Chan going on a date with Sanji and Ko giving fashion tips for said date...

Zoro-Chan managed to sneak off board with out any one noticing her. Not too long later she managed to find Sanji hitting on girl's again. She sighed "I can't believe I'm doing this…" she thought.

She ran at full speed and "bumped" into him. Sanji looked at Zoro-Chan, somehow he didn't recognize her.

"A beautiful girl like you should watch where you're going." said Sanji with hearts in his eyes.

"Oh god… I can't believe I'm doing this" thought Zoro-Chan, "I'm sorry I was in hurry." She said.

"Where were you going?" asked Sanji.

"Um… Lunch, I heard about this gre3at place." Said Zoro-Chan, "I feel so dirty" she thought.

"Would you like me to treat you?" asked Sanji.

"Sure" said Zoro-Chan with her eye twitching "Oh god!" thought Zoro-Chan.

And so lunch went as Zoro-Chan thought it was would… annoying as hell. She could have just thought stop right there… but it wasn't the perfect opportunity to knock him out and run away with the soap.

"I haven't asked your name yet." said Sanji.

"Um…. Um…" said Zoro-Chan she looked around and saw a guy dressed like Zorro "Zoro… D'oh!"

"Zoro?" said Sanji with a sweat drop.

"I meant Zoey! Yeah Zoey!" said Zoro-Chan with a sweat drop "I should have thought of a name earlier." She thought.

"Zoey, what beautiful name to fit such a beautiful girl!" said Sanji.

"Uh… thanks…" said Zoro-Chan "I hope I can find a place to do this…" she thought.

"I heard about the fountain garden this island has. Would you like to go there with me." said Sanji.

"O…k" said Zoro-Chan "That's where I'll do it!"

Later they got to the fountain gardens, there were a lot of people there… however she couldn't take it any more… the anger combined with the creeped out feeling finally exploded when they got to a fountain that shot out hearts that glowed with pink light.

"I can't take it any more!" yelled Zoro-Chan.

"What?" said Sanji.

"Give me the soap now, Curly Brow?" yelled Zoro-Chan.

"Pine Head… it was you the whole time." yelled Sanji.

She had a disgusted look on his face… in fact he ran to the nearest bathroom and then ran back.

"Had to vomit?" asked Zoro-Chan.

"Of course! Think about all the complements I made to you made me throw up!" said Sanji.

"Well ether way give me the soap or will fight!" said Zoro-Chan.

"Fight it is, you don't even have your swords!" said Sanji.

Zoro-Chan took off her back , reached into it and took out her three swords.

"Ko help you didn't she?" asked Sanji.

"Remember what I said about Ko didn't you." said Zoro.

"Mommy, why are they doing?" asked a little boy looking at them.

"Just a lover's quarrel." said the mother.

The two began to fight… a fight that was serous not like their usual fights. It was so large that the fight spilled into one of the larger fountains. However thanks to both Zoro-Chan's training with Ko and well as her persistence she was wining. Sanji realized that…

"I give up!" he surrendered as they stood in the middle of the rather large fountain both of them soaked.

"This is the real soap right?" asked Zoro not trusting him.

"It is, just promise never to speak of this date." said Sanji.

"I was going to make you swear that too." said Zoro-Chan.

As Zoro-Chan savored her victory something strange happened, bubbles emerged from all over Sanji's body. Sanji's body underneath all the bubbles became slightly smaller and when the water cleared them away… Sanji was a girl said.

"Shit!" yelled Sanji-Chan.

"This washes off!" yelled Zoro-Chan.

"Let's go get Usa, she know someone we need to pay a little visit to." said Sanji-Chan.

Zoro-Chan looked at the extremely angry look cook.

Later after explaining to Usa what happened, minus the whole date experience all three (with Sanji and Zoro men again and Zoro changed into a different outfit) went to pay the stall a little visit. Unfortunately the stall and it owner were still there… unfortunately for the stall owner that is…

"So you sell the water pr5oof soap… it just washes away?" said Sanji extremely angry.

"Do you know what I had to go though when I tired to get it from him." Said Zoro extremely angry

"That's right, and I want my money back, it's a defect product..." said USA extremely angry.

"Um… sorry?" said the stall owner as the three pirates gave him evil smiles… right before they beat him up to a bloody pulp.

The morale of the chapter… never buy stuff from Jusenkyo Beauty Products, their just like Acme.

Next Time: They get to Konegi Island where the Amazon tell Luffy, Sanji and Zoro more about Jusenkyo and two possible cures... will they be able to find them? And what is the hilarious beauty product name does the Amazon have? Find out next time.
