Steve's POV
As we sailed it got colder and colder, eventually it started snowing. I hadn't seen snow in a long time so it was a refreshing experience. Luffy and Usopp were building snowmen with the fallen white powder. Nami had put Sanji on shoveling duty and Zoro was sleeping off to the side with Rose hugging his sleeping body.
Grrrrrr!
I was sitting on the railing near the kitchen when Nami ran outside. She threw open the door and knocked me onto the lower deck.
"Ow. What the hell Nami." I said as I rubbed my head.
"Turn the ship 180 degrees. The ship turned itself around we're sailing the wrong way!" Nami yelled.
I guess I don't get an apology.
"You two go help them!" Nami kicked our guests out onto the deck to help us set the sail and do other various tasks.
No sooner did we set the sail did the wind change.
"Ahh the spring breeze" the man and women riding with us stood and took in the breeze
"Jeez Zoro wake up and help us. Rose stop being creepy and help us." I demanded
Neither of them moved an inch. Zoro was out cold and Rose was to in her own head to help.
What took place after that moment was an amalgam of terror, torn sails, icebergs, holes in the hull, giant frogs and dolphins.
"What's going on with this ocean?!" Nami screamed while still trying to keep control of the ship.
After finally escaping that hell we all passed out on the deck with no energy left to move.
*YAWN* "Hey get off me woman!" Zoro said waking up and pushing Rose off him.
"No come back and lay with your true love!" Rose yelled chasing after him.
"The weathers nice and all but there's no reason to lie around like that." Zoro said looking down at our exhausted bodies.
Screw you two!
"Didn't I throw you two overboard?" Rose asked our guests.
"We're headed to their town so they hitched a ride." Luffy explained.
"What is up with you faces. You two look like bad news what were your names?" Rose interrogated our guests.
"Mr. Ni…Nine" "And I'm Miss Wednesday"
"That's the thing your names seem really familiar like I heard them before?" She scratched her head.
"She's not alone they sound familiar to me as well." Zoro said siding with Rose.
*THUNK* Nami beat both Rose and Zoro over the head for abandoning us when we needed help.
"I've come to the conclusion that my skills are useless here, but don't worry I will make it work." Nami confidently spoke.
"There it is!" Luffy yelled "Our first stop, Whisky Peak."
The fog cleared up a little and the island came into view. It had huge cactuses growing out of the earth.
"Bet it'd be painful to fall on that thing." I said poking Usopp in the back.
"Don't say that!"
Mr.9 and Miss Wednesday said goodbye and jumped off the ship into the water below.
"What if there are monsters?" Usopp and Rose asked quivering
"No big deal, if there are we'll just run." Luffy reassured.
"We might not be able to. You'll have to wait for the log to reset to our next destination. It may take an hour or it may take a couple of days." Nami explained
"Well we'll cross that bridge when we come to it." I reassured the two scared members.
"Let's go! Sail up the river!" Luffy yelled as we guided the ship inland.
As we approached the fog seemed to get thicker and thicker.
"Be prepared to react on a moment's notice." I informed the crew.
If you listened closely you could hear people talking, but the fog was so thick you could barely see you own hand in front of your face.
"I hear something" Rose told us
The fog lifted and there were crowds of people cheering for us yelling "Welcome to Whisky Peak."
"What's happening?" Sanji asked.
"There are no monsters just cheering people." Usopp said taking in the surroundings
"There are so many people all cheering for us." Nami added perplexed.
"Yahoo!" Luffy yelled.
This is certainly unexpected.
"Yeah!" I joined in the cheering.
"Wel…Me~Me~Me. Welcome to Whisky Peak my name is Igarappoi." A man said introducing himself.
Igarappoi invited us to attend a banquet while we entertained them with 'tales of our valor'
Luffy, Sanji, Rose, and Usopp were way too excited for this party. Zoro, Nami and I just stared at the four dancing and ready to party.
Nut-jobs
"How long will the Log take to reset?" Nami asked the man.
"Put such frivolous things out of your mind and have some fun." The man ushered Nami inside instead of answering her question.
Why didn't he answer her?
Rose's POV
"PARTY!" I was excited I hadn't been to a party this big in a long time.
Wonder if Zoro will play spin the bottle with me.
"That look on your face is creepy." Nami teased "You're thinking about Zoro again."
"Why…What are you talking about?" I nervously laughed.
"Well good luck with him. Zoro is quite a catch." She looked over at my soul mate.
She wants him!
"Keep away harlot!"
"I'm not interested in him. That idiot is all yours. Look a drinking contest." Nami dragged me over to a table where Steve and Zoro where sitting.
"Ladies." My brother greeted us.
"What are you doing here?" I gave him a look.
"It's…fine." He paused
Some women said they were having a drinking contest with a cash prize. That had Nami willing to compete.
"A woman like you could never out drink me." Zoro told Nami
What?!
"Are you saying that since Nami's a girl she's weaker than you?!" I angrily looked at Zoro.
"He's not wrong biologically women do usually have a lower tolerance than men." Steve backed Zoro up
I grabbed a mug and hurled it at him knocking him over the bench he was on.
"Whoa talk about overkill he's out cold!" Nami said.
"I don't need a lecture on booze from him." I huffed "I'll play too."
Dumbass brother…
Many Drinks Later.
By this point most of the other chumps competing had fallen. Only the real competitors were left.
*SLAM* "Amazing this guy outdrank ten people."
"These girl just took down two more people"
"You should give up Zoro. Nami and I got you beat."
*THUD*
Zoro looked to be barely hanging on.
Time for my master plan!
I turned my back to Zoro and slipped off my jacket leaving me in only my tank-top.
I gave Zoro and innocent look "Zoro…If you give up maybe I'll turn around."
"Uggghhh it's not worth it." *THUD*
"The green haired man is down"
"Yay us!" Nami and I cheered.
"But which one of the girls will be the one to win the whole thing?" The announcer asked.
I put my jacket back on and looked at Nami "Wanna split the winnings new best friend?"
"Sure" Nami said as we both fell to the floor.
When I finally came to everyone that wasn't a member of the crew was gone.
"Where'd they all go?" I asked out loud.
I saw Zoro was asleep nearby. I walked over and snuggled his sleeping body waking him in the process.
"Get off me woman!" Zoro shoved me
"You're so rough…I like it." I laughed.
"Where's everybody?" Zoro asked.
"They're asleep. Something's up." I informed him getting serious and fixing my jacket.
"Let's go take a look around." Zoro said climbing the ladder up to the roof.
I followed suit and walked behind him. When we got outside, we saw the two people we had given a ride standing outside with Igarappoi and another woman. They were discussing their plan to capture Luffy and Steve, along with our ship.
"Sorry but they've had a long day you should let them rest." Zoro said alerting them to our presence.
A crowd of people ran out of where Zoro and I had been "Mr.8, Miss Monday two of them escaped!"
So that guy is really Mr.8.
"So this place is just a cover for a bounty hunter den. How sad this looked like a nice place didn't it." Zoro said
"Yes, I count at least a hundred. You'll make excellent targets, Baroque Works." I answered with a smile "IT's been a while since I fought with you Zoro, wanna have some fun babe?"
That whole love sick routine is just an act Zoro and I put on to keep Steve off our backs. We are very much in a pleasant relationship.
"How do you know our name!" the crowd was in a tizzy that we had caught on to their act.
"A secret organization that uses code names, keeps their boss' location hidden. A group who ask for complete obedience from its members. We know so much because they tried to recruit us once." Zoro explained
"Something about being Mr.7 and Miss Father's Day, what a tacky names." I added onto Zoro's story "I'd clearly be better as a Miss Memorial Day."
They began to mumble amongst themselves about needing two tombstones. Zoro and I took that opportunity to get off the roof and into a better position. I made my way through the crowd while Zoro took a place near the back.
"Kill them…Where'd they go?!"
They turned around to find Zoro near the back and when they shot at him only hit other members of the crew.
"Fools just kill them it's only two people." Mr.8 then gasped when he felt one of my knives against his throat.
"You sure you're only gonna need two?" I whispered into his ear "Cause I can for sure take down at least fifty of you guys no problem."
I heard multiple rifles getting loaded as they pointed the weapons at me.
"There's the woman."
"Stop you'll shoot me too." Mr.8 pleaded before pulling out a saxophone.
He blew into the horn and bullets came out and he shot his own men. I had run to Zoro when he turned around to blast me.
"That thing doubles as a shotgun! Cool!" I had stars in my eyes looking at the weapon.
"Stay focuses we can cover more ground if we split up" Zoro said.
"You just wanna try out those dumb swords don't you, you care about them more than me I bet." I gave him a pout and blinked my eyes.
Zoro was looking forward to trying out his two new swords, Kitetsu and Yubashiri. An agent of Baroque Works alerted us to his presence causing us to retreat into a building.
We turned around and saw a horde of hunter pointing pistols at us. Zoro kicked a table up to block the hail of bullets. I jumped out the window to separating me from Zoro who went out the front door.
"They've split up" the agents informed each other.
I was running around dispatching bounty hunter after bounty hunter when I felt someone approaching me from behind. I turned around a swatted a knife out of a child's hands. A woman came to the kid's defense begging me to spare him.
"Try that on someone who will fall for it" I was already behind them and they fell to the ground "Don't worry I missed the vital parts."
I continued my rampage taking down members left and right, my various daggers getting coated in blood as I pulled them out of the various hidden compartments of my jacket. I heard an earsplitting scream form across the town.
Zoro must being having fun.
I made my way to a roof to get a better view of the situation. I saw Miss Wednesday riding a duck and Mr.8 shooting at Zoro.
"You should watch your back! Can you keep up with my acrobatic skill?" I turned around and saw Mr.9 doing flips towards me. He had a pair of metal bats in his hands. I blocked them with my knives which we much smaller than his bats. He landed behind me, I just flipped back and stood there.
"Look I can do fancy jumps too." I smirked "But I don't even need my acrobatics to beat your sorry butt."
"What too scared to move?"
I turned and threw a dagger past him barely missing his face. I kept throwing dozens of daggers at Mr.9.
"You're barely dodging my Knife Storm!"
"I'll show you!" They man started flipping until he jumped right off the roof.
It's just sad.
I jumped down after him to regroup with Zoro who I saw on the ground nearby.
"You holding up alright?" Zoro asked.
"I'm okay." I said smiling.
"I won't forgive you for defeating me!" Mr.9 jumped up and shot his bat at me.
He does know he did that to himself?
I got caught on the chain that shot out of the bat "Finish her Mr.8!"
Zoro moved to help me "Don't move or I'll kill your friend."
I looked over and saw that Miss Wednesday had a sword to a sleeping Luffy's stomach. Mr.8 pulled his tie and machine guns extended from the rolls in his hair.
"He's like some lame toy." I said pulling on the chain sending Mr.9 into the air "This fight isn't fun any more it's just tedious now!"
The man collided with the bullets and then got sent flying into his partner. I ran forward using Luffy as a trampoline
"You're finished Buzz-Saw Slicer!" I cut Mr.8 with a handful of blades while is spun in the air.
I looked down at Zoro "We're done here."
