"This entre situation is prePAWsterous", Raymond, said.
"No...NO! No puns! NO PUNS", Blueno called out. They all, seemed to be traveling through the tall shrubbery that hopefully led to some form of civilization.
"Yes. It's torture, and frankly I know torture", Serenity replied.
"Oh my DEER Serenity. Am I bothering you as well? Ah well, If you don't want to deal with my BULL then OWL be quiet. And I'm not LION", Raymond went on.
"Oh, your puns DRAG-ON. They might say its KangaRUDE, but a little BLUEBIRD told me that it makes you all feel SHEEPISH", Gurin went on.
"I'm afraid we may have to kill them", Blueno said.
"It's our best option if we want them to stop", Kalifa replied.
Raymond hopped onto a large rock nearby. "You could try, but it wouldn't take much effort to outFOX you."
"Oh, that's it! I...", Jabra began to say but he suddenly stopped. "Wait, do you hear that? It sounds like some kind of machine. Some kind of vehicle." Everyone stopped and listened closely in an attempt to hear what Jabra may have been hearing. Wait, hit the deck!
Instinctively, everyone jumped out of the way of some kind of tractor, plowing through the woods. It was moving surprisingly fast for one actually. It was big, brown and even had the round blades on them. It mowed down everything in its path, leaving soft soil in its wake. "Hey! You road hog", Fukurou yelled out.
A fuzzy black head popped out of the driver's seat. It looked to be some kind of canine. "Sorry! Still learning how to drive without apposable thumbs", he said. The Tractor seemed to swerve as he tried to get control, but eventually continued on down its original path.
"Hey look straight ahead! It made a path towards the city. I see buildings", Moira shouted as she flew forward. The building all looked like normal houses, but just as expected, the townspeople all seemed to be animals as well. There were alligators, tigers, rhino's, cats, dogs, frogs, rabbits, and everything from ants to zebra's roaming around in the city. "Now we just have to find the supply store.
"Well that shouldn't be too hard. Why don't we all split up and regroup here once we find everything we need", Raymond said. "I wonder if I can find some new parts for another machine here."
"Yeah, you get on that. I'm gonna go find the booze store, Jabra said.
"I wonder what kind of coffee they have on this island. Might be a chance to add to my collection."
"Honestly Borya, is coffee the only thing you ever think about", Blueno asked as he followed the hopping kangaroo.
"Fancy plates? Not the best thing to carry on an island full of people who cant use thumbs", the green deer said. "Why would you want to buy these anyway? They have much less expensive plates.
"Only the good stuff. I never served cheap plates to customers, and my friends shouldn't eat from cheap plates either", Borya replied.
"Well, if you insist. I have my eye on that flask", Blueno said. He seemed to have his head down grazing on grass.
"Does that actually taste good or are you just playing the part?"
"I can't stop eating it. It's so good. Like pasta in grass form. Far from dignified, but I guess it passes in a city full of animals."
"Who need dignity when you can do this without being judged", Serenity asked as she too began to graze on the grass.
"Ok, ok, quick lunch break and then we'll pick up the shopping again...wow, this taste pretty good. I'll save some of this for later." Borya plucked multiple patches of grass and stuffed it into his pouch.
Blueno ceased eating for a moment. "Borya, I never got around to asking this, but aren't female kangaroos the ones who have pouches? Why do you have one?"
"Interesting question. I wondered the same thing when I saw the form for the very first time. It was just one of the abilities given by the devil fruit I suppose. It must have also carried over when I got to this island. It's pretty handy as well."
"Hey! Are you three just gonna sit there eating grass, or are you going to buy something", The store owner said. She was a blue haired poodle equipped with jewelry all over.
Serenity stopped eating as well. "Alright, fine, what do you have that might be useful for long traveling?"
"Why did HE have to come along", Gurin asked. She was motioning over to Jabra.
"Because I don't trust him being around normal people by himself. Just between you and I, he's too socially distraught to be left alone", Raymond replied.
"Hey I heard that! I'm stable", Jabra shouted.
"I know the feeling. Kumadori doesn't exactly fit in with the norm either. Then again, we're not a normal group, nor is our current situation. Either way, he already got his beer, so what parts are you looking for?"
"Pretty much anything salvageable. Once I do that, I usually come up with something useful after a while. Maybe I can make us something that will make finding those two easier."
"Are you referring to Rob Lucci", a voice said. It seemed to talk very sluggishly.
"Huh? Who said that? Who's there", Jabra asked.
"Up here. Waaaaay up in the tree", the voice replied. Up in a nearby tree, the group spied a monkey. It seemed to be wearing jacket fitting of an admiral. He also had on yellow shades. Looks like I finally found you all."
"Wait a minute...that monkey looks familiar, Raymond said.
"That...THATS...", Jabra began to say.
"Thats Admiral Kizaru to you. What are the odds? Two ex-cipher pol agents, and their runaway friends.
"Oh no! Don't tell me even the admirals of the navy are after us too", Gurin said in shock. "This is bad...we've been found again!
"Indeed. Since even the silencers are unable to deal with you, we are tasked with killing you if we should happen to run into you. Though since I got bored, I intercepted your path. Sakazuki doesn't even know that you're all here. Though that's probably for the best. If you continue to become a pain in our sides, he may not be as forgiving as me. By the way, long time no see Raymond.
"You want to kill me even after you helped me so long ago? Tch, why am I not surprised? Forgiving my ass!"
"Don't take it personally, it's just business." He hopped down from the tree branch. "Now...which one of you wants to die first? You don't plan on struggling, do you?" His smile remained, and while it looked innocent, it was actually very irritating. Despite his intention to kill them, he smiled as if everything was right with the world. How frustrating.
"We will NOT go quietly! If you wish to fight us, then we shall return the favor", Kumadori said. He arched his back, and his mane seemed to spike up.
"That right Kumadori! You might have helped Raymond before, but we don't owe you anything! Not even our lives", Jabra shouted.
"We don't want to lead him to the others. Lets get this monkey off our backs!" Residence all stopped and began to stare. Not only was a battle imminent, but one of the admirals of the navy has personally come on business. Something terrible was about to go down!
Meanwhile further into the shopping district. Another familiar face stalks the group of Fukurou, Moira and Kalifa.
"Oh, hey, I think I know that horse! He used to be a government agent, and then he got fired for falling alseep on every mission. Oh, and that Elk over there, I heard she used to be a famous singer, but she couldn't stop hitting the bottle", Fukurou said as he flew around the two women.
"He's been doing this for about an hour. Does he have dirt on everyone", Moira asked.
The annoyance on Kalifa's face was apparent. "Unfortunately, yes. Make sure you keep your secrets away from him. Even the slightest secret might end up being your downfall. In short, he mouths might be his most dangerous weapon. Anyways, we seem to have gotten our food supply refreshed at least. I wonder if the others have gotten anything."
"Well, we're almost to the meeting spot anyway...wait...does anyone else feel like their being watched", Moira asked.
"Hm...it might be because a silencer is here", Fukurou shoutred.
"And WHY didn't you say that earlier", Moira replied.
"You truly are a bigmouth aren't you", a familiar voice said. After the three managed to pinpoint the source of the voice, they watched in utter surprise as a big brown bear walked over towards them. He was wearing a big hat, similar to Springer's. "Long time no see criminals.
"Springer! You again", Moira called out.
"And he's not alone", another feminine voice said. This one too was also familiar. A long red snake slithered across over to the area. "A shame we had to meet again like this.
"Rafflesia! I should have known you would attack again", Kalifa said. Awefully bold to be attacking out in the open huh?
"That's of no concern anymore. All that matters is that you all are exterminated. And after we wipe the floor with you all, the rest of your friends will be sent to the afterlife as well!
