Love Piece

Luffy and Usopp were the first to head back to the ship. They showed up in time to see a massive pirate crew trying to steal it.

"Dammit, girl, stop popping those hands out of nowhere!" barked one of the pirates.

He was, of course, referring to Robin who was fending off the pirates with her Hana-Hana powers. Zoro also helped as he used Rising Phoenix. In Skypiea, it was revealed that he could use this skill without the need for swords, so he didn't use swords for this.

Luffy gasped and barked, "ROBIN, ZORO, YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING!"

"IT'S NOT OUR FAULTS!" retorted Zoro. "THEY'RE NOT THE LEAST BIT SCARED OF ME!"

Usopp cocked his head to one side and said, "That's a surprise."

Robin laughed nervously and said, "If it's not too much to ask, can you help us?"

Luffy shouted "Gomu-Gomu no Gattling Gun!" and started to pummel the invading pirates. The survivors (All 200 of them) turned around and exclaimed, "IT'S STRAW HAT LUFFY!"

Zoro grimaced and muttered, "They didn't know my name when they first saw me."

Usopp suddenly walked in front of Luffy and said, "Stand aside! I shall stop them from taking the ship!" He then stood in a heroic pose and announced, "Heed my call! I am the great Captain Usopp! I have 8000 men under my control and I'm not afraid to use them!"

The pirates all glanced at one another and burst out into hysterics. One rubbed his eye and wheezed, "You can't be the captain. Luffy's your captain, and by what we've heard, there are only 7 of you, and one of them is Roronoa… Zoro…" He turned around to notice the green-haired guy and cried, "YOU'RE RORONOA ZORO!"

Zoro grunted and retorted, "THANKS FOR NOTICING, YOU DICK BAKA!"

Another pirate stopped laughing and asked, "What makes you think that the weak link of the group can help out this crew, anyway?"

Usopp pulled out his slingshot and said, "You may call me a liar and laugh at my nose, but NEVER call me the weak link! That's Nami and Chopper's job! SHURIKEN STAR!"

The 'brave man of the sea' put a row of Shuriken on the pod of his sling and fired all 200 of them at the pirates. They rubbed off their wounds as one said, "You were better off when we underestimated you."

The group leader got up, blew a whistle and barked, "MEN, ASSEMBLE!"

The backup men came, but they had been sent flying and were in shambles. The leader trembled in fear and noticed Sanji enter with a few burn marks on his shoes. He trembled and uttered, "W-what did you do to them?"

Sanji took a puff of his cigarette and said, "They were quite a handle. I was simply returning them to their equally annoying owner."

Chopper jumped up and down and exclaimed, "You're so amazing, Sanji! You are the best! Technically, Usopp's the best, but you come very close!"

The men Sanji had left in shambles struggled to their feet, but only half of them managed to get up, and they weren't moving very well. Robin noticed them start to get up as she announced, "Grand Fleur!" and tangled them in 50 rows of arms as she snapped their backs.

Chopper ran around in a panic shouting, "OH MY GOD! THEY'RE HURT! WE NEED A DOCTOR! DOCTOR!"

Sanji sighed and said, "You're a doctor," as Chopper let down a sweat drop and replied, "Eh? That's right, I am!"

One of the crew members went ballistic and snapped, "WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE, SOME KIND OF MONSTERS?"

Chopper became his heavy point. His muscles grew bigger and his body was now three times bigger than before as he said, "I'm a monster!"

The men all shook with fury as the leader barked, "HOLD NOTHING BACK!"

During that little battle, Nami heard the usual sounds she heard when the others were fighting. She turned to the others and barked, "PICK UP THE PACE! THE CREW'S IN TROUBLE!"

Keitaro and Naru gasped and followed behind Nami. They arrived at the scene to discover that Nami was right. There was a huge fight between the other six crew members and about 400 other pirates.

Keitaro stared and asked, "Is this type of fight normal?"

Nami nodded and stated, "There usually aren't so many. Strangely enough, the one leading them appears to be the first mate. The captain's nowhere in site."

Suddenly, the second Nami finished that statement, the captain of the fleet showed up. He had long red hair and his shirt was off, so you could see his gigantic abs. Also, he wore blue jeans. Just thought I'd add that as an extra if you're interested.

He looked at the battered mess that was his crew. They were full of Shuriken cuts, Rapid Punch bruises, snapped backs, burn marks from a green phoenix flame, punches left by a mutated reindeer and shoeprints left behind by a certain chef.

He glared at his first mate and barked, "YOU'D BETTER HAVE AN EXPLANATION FOR THIS!"

The leader shivered and said, "These are the Straw Hat Pirates! They have 180,000,000 berries on their heads!"

The captain's angry expression turned to a greedy conniving face. He grinned and asked, "What are you waiting for? Rob them blind!"

The first mate glanced back and replied, "We already tried. Look at what happened to our crew."

Naru also noticed the battered pirates. 'These guys must be stronger than all the girls in the bathhouse to pull this off,' she thought.

Keitaro was also impressed. "Who knew a bunch of pirates could do this much damage?" he commented. "Wait… THEY'RE WORTH 180,000,000?"

With that comment, it was no longer a big surprise to see the invaders in this condition. The captain suddenly noticed where the voice came from and his eyes filled up with hearts.

He landed right in front of the group (Nami was in front) and bowed down to them. (Again, Nami was in front)

He grinned, raised his head and asked, "Where have you been all my life? All this time, I thought I would never meet a truly dazzling woman, but now I have been proven wrong! Will you be my bride?"

Suddenly, he pulled a ring out of nowhere. Nami, who was, once again, in front blushed and said, "I'm flattered, but since you attacked my crew, I'm not interested."

The captain looked up and asked, "What the hell are you talking about? You think this sexy hunk of a man would pick YOU? I'm talking about that beauty behind you!"

Nami sunk. Since she was in front, it looked as if the captain was talking to HER rather than Naru.

That certain captain walked up to Naru and asked, "Will you be my bride, fair maiden of the sea? I will give you a spot as the second captain! We'll be the first crew to have two captains, and you'll be my wife! I'll do anything for you! If you ask me to steal a diamond gem, I'll do it! If you ask me to kill a perverted crew member, I'll do it. If you ask me to give up my life as a pirate, I will kindly refuse but will continue to love you."

Naru grimaced, turned her back to him and retorted, "No way! You reveal way too much skin to possibly be a gentleman, and anyone who asks a girl to merry her when he just met her is most likely a total asshole!"

The captain snickered and said, "I wasn't giving you a choice."

He pushed Nami out of the way and grabbed Naru. "Let me go, you bastard!" she barked.

Keitaro punched the captain in the gut and ended up in a panic attack trying to extinguish the flame surrounding his hand now.

"See? My body's so strong, nothing can hurt it! Nice try, wimpy kid!"

Keitaro came to while he shook really hard and remarked, "Don't call me a wimpy kid!"

The captain laughed and retorted, "What are you going to do, burn yourself?"

Suddenly, Nami got up and said, "You leave him to me, Keitaro. You don't have the strength to take him."

Nami pulled out her Clima Tact and split it into three separate pieces. She twirled the pieces around as orbs emerged from the ends and filled the sky. The captain just stared and looked above his head as his eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets.

"YOU'RE TRYING TO CREATE A THUNDERSTORM!" he implied.

Nami sighed and remarked, "You're a little slow, aren't you…? THUNDERBOLT TEMPO!"

Thunder emerged from the cloud that had formed above the captain's head and went down his spine. This was stupid, because he had hardly felt a thing and Naru was lucky not to get hit.

Keitaro grabbed Nami's collar and shook her while he snapped, "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING? NARU COULD HAVE BEEN HURT WITH THAT BLAST? Wait… how did you do that?"

Nami whacked him over the head and snapped, "Don't shake me!"

Naru was a little surprised by the fact that Nami could control the weather. Unbeknownst to her, she was about to learn a lot more from watching this fight. Of course, she had to take care of Dr. Smooth-Love first.

She grabbed onto his ears, pulled him towards her, lifted him above her head and sent him crashing onto the ground behind her.

Luffy's eyes glowed as he exclaimed, "THAT WAS SO AWESOME!"

Usopp trembled as he stuttered, "Remind me never to mess with her."

Zoro shook and uttered, "She's stronger than Nami."

Naru sighed and said, "That's what you get for being a jerk!"

Keitaro laughed and said, "Of course, how did I NOT see THAT coming?"

Robin cleared her throat and said, "Guys, we still have to deal with these idiots."

Chopper became his Speed Point. He was now a full-fledged reindeer. He charged at the pirates and took them out one by one.

Naru stared in amazement. Chopper had transformed in front of her very eyes.

What surprised her more was the row of arms Robin had created to slow down the assault. Also, a lot of the weapons Usopp used to damage the invaders were very strange and unique. He even used a 5-ton hammer to deal massive damage. Someone his width shouldn't be able to do that.

Zoro finally pulled out his three swords and shouted "Onigiri!" as he passed through the crowd with his swords on both sides of him. This skill really impressed Naru. He was even better than a certain sword-wielder she knew.

Sanji also put up a good fight. Keitaro and Naru were still impressed with his surprising strength.

The next scene is what surprised them the most. A group rushed at Luffy as he took out five of them with one punch. This was no ordinary punch. He shouted, "Gomu-Gomu no Pistol!" and stretched out his arm thus sending five men flying.

Keitaro stared and asked, "What is up with these people?"

Luffy finished them off with Gomu-Gomu no Cannon and the Straw Hats boarded and left.

Usopp breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That fight was tougher than usual."

Naru and Keitaro walked up to crew and glared at them. Naru picked Usopp up by his collar and snapped, "WE WANT ANSWERS, AND WE WANT THEM NOW!"
