Chapter 5: Stolen!
It had been a few days since Hikaru joined them, the Log Pose still hadn't set but it was fun with Hikaru on board, everyone… expect for Luffy and maybe Sanji… though he might have been in denial, knewthat Usa and Hikaru LIKED each other. However every time they got a moment alone together something would ruin it… so much in fact that Nami, Ko, Zoro and Usopp began to bet what would ruin it.
"I say it's Sanji." said Usopp.
"I say it's Luffy." said Ko.
"I say it Sanji chasing Luffy." said Nami.
"Something random…" said Zoro.
Usa and Hikaru were alone together at the bow, nearby those who had a bet watched from across the ship. When Suddenly Sanji chasing Luffy because he ate all the food again.
"Pay up." said Nami.
Both Ko and Usopp handed Nami one berry coin.
"Damn…" said Zoro.
"Looks like I'm adding one more berry to your debt" said Nami with an evil smile.
At the bow, Sanji managed to kick Luffy to the railing. While both Usa and Hikaru laughed at it, then the wind blew and Hikaru stopped laughing.
"Usa get behind me now!" he said.
An unusual gust of wind appeared and it was headed start to Usa. Hikaru jumped in front of with the wind blade drawn it appe3ared to cut the wind in half.
"Hikaru you certainly know when I'm after your little girlfriend." said Kanna.
Both Usa and Hikaru blushed at this remark. Then Hikaru said to Sanji and Luffy.
"Sanjay, Ruffy." said Hikaru.
"Are you talking to us?" asked Luffy.
"Yeah I am! Just take Usa to another part of the ship while I'll deal with Sarah."
"Sarah… where the hell did you get Sarah from?" asked Kanna.
"Come on!" said Sanji grabbing Usa's arm.
"Oh no you don't Kaze Kaze Levitate!" said Kanna.
She waved her fan which caused Usa to hover in the air… note her dress was hovering at well in a certain direction… Sanji fell unconscious onto the ground with blood coming from his nose.
"Great…" said Usa with a sweat drop.
The wind caused Usa to go in front of Kanna. She tried to move but couldn't Kanna's powers were too strong.
"It's a shame… you joined such an infamous crew with such powerful people and you little boyfriend even came to help but it could save you… know the Gem of the Moon is Jackson's once again…" said Kanna, she yanked the Gem of the Moon from Usa's neck. Usa's body suddenly went limp as she passed out, Kanna go of the grip and Usa fell to the ground. Hikaru couldn't help but to drop the wind blade in shock.
"You know the deal you have 24 hours to get it back you Hikaru know what will happen if you don't get it back by then… out hide out is on the other side of the island, across the River. See ya!" said Kanna.
"Oh know you don't! Gum Gum…" said Luffy but a gust of wind stopped him and Kanna was gone… with the Gem of the Moon.
Hikaru couldn't do anything but to stand there, "I promised myself… that I'd protect her…" he thought.
The others to the bow to find they were too late. Sanji slowly began to wake up.
"What happened?" he asked.
His answer was a sock to the head, "That's for staring at my sister's panties." said Ko.
Luffy noticed something strange… "Why… why is Usa bleeding like that?" he asked.
It was true suddenly many wounds appeared on Usa's body.
"It's her old wounds… from… 10 years ago…" said Hikaru.
Everyone looked at him, "Normally the Gem of the Moon heals all injuries permanently but if the person has lethal wounds when they receive the Gem of the Moon, there is a 15 year period, if someone takes off before that period is up, after 24 hours if they don't put it back on…they will… will… will…" said Hikaru he could finish what was he was saying… then he yelled it out "USA'S GOING TO DIE!"
He began to cry while everyone stood there in shock they began to remember all the good times they had with Usa: the first time she killed a seagull, the second time she killed a seagull, the third time she killed a sea gull, when she drew on Ko's face, when she push Sanji into Spring of Drowned girl, when she loaned one of her sun dresses to Zoro after he hit his and thought he was a girl which emotionally scared for Usa life, that time she used her powers to show ghosts and Luffy ended up being possessed by the sprit of a dead butterfly, all the meals she cooked, all the eating contests, all the desert battles… they had to get the Gem of the Moon back.
"We have 24 hours right?" said Luffy.
"Yeah." replied Hikaru.
"We'll get it back!" said Luffy, "Usa's our crew mate and friend and we're going to save her!"
All the other Straw Hats nodded, Chopper managed to bandage up Usa just so her wounds don't get infected, meanwhile Ko laid down her strategy. She had a map that she happened to have a map of the island and she showed her strategy in the galley.
"Kanna said the hide out on the other side of the island. The island is dived by two rivers hence the name of the island. One-half the island is a city but the other half is mostly mountainous a rocky. Fortunately there's only two buildings, ones the only farm on the island and the other is an abandoned warehouse… why there's an abandoned warehouse on that side of the island I don't know but that's more than likely the hide out!" said Ko.
"I'll stay behind and watch Usa." said Chopper.
"And I'll stay behind too…" said Usopp.
He was met by a glare from his crew mates and Hikaru.
"I was kidding…" said Usopp.
About half another later they were climbing a cliff, using a rope to walk up it when suddenly a flowerpot crashed in the side of the cliff.
Zoro dropped the rope and asked a question he as well Nami, Ko, Sanji and Hikaru have been wanting to ask "Why are we walking like this?"
As it turned out they weren't walking up a cliff but walking normally while holding on to a rope.
"I don't know…" said Luffy looking up to the sky wondering where the flowerpot came from.
Meanwhile in the hideout, which was indeed, the warehouse Jackson held the Gem of the Moon in his hands.
"So the little girl's crew will be here to retrieve it?" asked Jackson.
"They will… even they don't I bet little Hikaru will…" said Kanna.
Outside the Straw Hats and Hikaru got there.
"This is the place…" said Ko.
"So all we have to do is go in there and get it back?" said Luffy.
"It's not that easy…" said Hikaru, "Jackson's probably using the Gem of the Moon himself…"
"So it would be like fighting Usa minus the martial arts?" asked Zoro.
"Except for the fact he's not used to it like Usa is." said Hikaru.
"So in other words he might over use his Ki quickly?" asked Robin.
"Bingo!" said Hikaru.
The doors of the warehouse began to open on their own. Jackson and Kanna stood in the middle.
"So you're the Crew of the little girl who had the Gem of the Moon… Hikaru it has been a long time my how you have grown." said Jackson.
"Shut up!" yelled Hikaru.
"Well your little girlfriend's crew looks weak! Now my nameless hoard, go attack them!" said Jackson.
"Nameless horde?" asked Usopp.
"Yeah… his underlings were weird masked outfits but their very weak…" said Hikaru.
A bunch people wearing poorly made ninja costumes went into attack…
"Um… Jackson…" said Kanna.
"What?" said Jackson.
"Um… never mind…." She said pointing to the unconscious nameless hoard were all unconscious on the ground.
"What happened, it wasn't even three seconds…" said Jackson.
Kanna whispered something ion his ear… it was about how the crew was infamous
"Damn it! Looks like we have to deal with them ourselves…" said Jackson.
"Well not exactly but you know…" said Kanna.
The Straw Hats stood in the entrance with the weapons drawn if they had any... then Ko went back to her old ways…
"Look I'm going to get this alone… I don't need anyone's help with this guy… I can stop him all by myself… I don't need your help Hikaru…" said Ko.
She ran towards Jackson, Nami sighed, "It's Sansom Gen all over again." She said.
"It would seem that her sister being in mortal danger made her regress back to when she first joined." said Robin.
Kanna stepped up to fight the other Straw Hats and Hikaru.
"Well Hikaru… you know the nameless horde is weak but if you add my strength then… Dance of the Remotely Unconscious!" she said waving her fan.
"Dance of the Remotely Unconscious? That's not a very good name" asked Sanji.
"Yeah, I agree with Mumbly Joe, it's pretty stupid with if you think about it." said Hikaru.
"Mumbly Joe?" said Sanji.
"Well I know that… one thing is that their not dead so Dance of the Dead is out." said Kanna.
"What do you mean?" asked Luffy.
His question was quickly answered as the unconscious bodies of the Nameless Horde rose back to "life"…
Next Time: They face the greatest foe ever... unconscious bodies? But with Kanna's powers they are strong meanwhile Ko refuses help from anyone... has she really regressed back to how she used to be when she first joined or does she have a trick up her sleeve?
A/N: Okay incase you were wondering all the times they remember about Usa: The 1st and 2nd time she accidentally killed a seagull and when she drew on Ko's face happened in The Rabbit and The Cat, the times she killed a seagull the 3rd time, the time she pushed Sanji in to the spring, the time she loaned Zoro a dress were all in Straw Hats One Half, the time she showed Ghosts happened in Great Our Captain's Possessed by a Butterfly and the meals, eating contests and desert battles are all things that happened any one of the stories that were mentioned above.
Also there's a funny story I had to tell involving the reason why Hikaru called Sanji Mumbly Joe. My dad is weird and often says he liked One Piece before I did, I asked him who was his favorite character and that was his reply... Mumbly Joe he later claimed that it was Sanji... yes I also know it's from the Simpsons as well...
