Chapter 122: The Actress
The crew had arrived on yet another island. There Naruto and Luffy were at a theater where they watched a play.
It was about a Princess who with the help of three warriors used the Rainbow energy to fight evil.
Both brothers clapped and cheered a lot.
That was when the usher came in.
"Excuse me sirs… do you intended to yell though out the play or do I have to escort you out?" asked the usher.
Elsewhere on the island, the ship was docked.
"I can't believe Naruto and Luffy won those tickets." Whined Sanji who was crying the fetal position, "Last show… Fujikaze Yukie… Why… Why…"
"What's wrong with Sanji?" asked Kiba climbing up to the deck.
"It happened like this." Explained Nami.
(Flashback)
Sanji was carrying grocery bags with Luffy and Naruto behind him, all carrying grocery bags.
"Why do we have to do this?" asked Naruto.
"Shut up. You wanted food." Said Sanji, "You two are going to help me today."
They passed a booth. It was a prize booth where someone spun a wheel and a ball would come out.
"How much?" asked Luffy.
"Just 100 Berries." Said the person running it.
Luffy took out that much and played it.
"Luffy what are you doing?" asked Sanji.
Luffy turned the wheel, and a golden ball came out.
"No way!" yelled the person running the booth, "You won the grand prize!"
"What did I win?" asked Luffy.
"You won two tickets to the last show of Princess Gale." Said the person running the stand, "It's on in few hours and the shows sold out."
"Wait Princess Gale? You mean the show that's running on this island staring Fujikaze Yukie?" asked Sanji.
"The one and only." Said the person running the booth.
"Hey, Naruto want to go to the show with me?" asked Luffy.
"Of course." Said Naruto.
Sanji began to cry, "I didn't even get a chance to ask." He cried.
(End of Flashback)
"Why does he have all the luck?" whined Sanji.
"If you hadn't dragged them along then who knows." Said Nami.
"Excuse me." Came a voice.
They turned to see a well-dressed old man standing nearby.
"You are the Straw Hats pirates right?" asked the man.
"What do you want?" asked Nami.
"I came here for a business proposition." Said the man, "Judging by the posters of both Monkey D Luffy and Fox D. Naruto both of them seem very trust worthy for the task I need."
"What do you mean?" asked Nami.
"How much would it be if I hire your crew as body guards?" asked the man.
That was when Nami's eyes turned into berry signs.
"She has that look again…" said Chopper with a sweat drop.
Elsewhere on the island Naruto and Luffy were talking about the show.
"That was so awesome!" yelled Naruto.
"I know." Said Luffy.
"Would it be interesting if we rescued a Princess like that?" asked Naruto.
"Kit… you did, he name was Vivi. She like a member of the crew." Said Kyubi.
"Oh… right…" thought Naruto.
That was when the Princess from the play (better known as Fujikaze Yukie) rode past them on a horse. Being chased by men dressed like the henchmen from the play.
"What the!" shouted Naruto.
"Looks like she's in trouble!" shouted Luffy.
"You're going to help her… aren't you?" asked Kyubi, "Even though it's possible you'll get in trouble"
"That's right." Thought Naruto.
Kyubi sighed and deicide dot just enjoy the ride after all what could go wrong?
Luffy took half of the men while Naruto took the other half.
"Gum Gum Gatling!" shouted Luffy taking out many of the men after her.
Naruto summoned many shadow clones. The shadow clones proceeded to beat up the men, as Yukie got away.
"Should we go after her?" asked Naruto.
Luffy nodded.
And the two followed after her.
Back at the Going Merry, Nami and the old man were working on the details.
"So you want us to transport you and her to Snow Island?" asked Nami.
"That's right." Said the man.
"This isn't going to cheap you know." Said Nami.
"I understand." Said the old man.
"So we're headed to Snow Island?" asked Robin entering the room, "Is that wise idea?"
"What do you mean?" asked Nami.
"It's not a very stable country." Explained Robin, "Nearly 10 years ago there was a Coup de alt. Since then the country has been shambles."
"I know that but I already booked Yukie for a show there." Said the old man.
Robin looked confused.
"Oh…" said Nami, "This is Sandayu he's the manager for a very famous actress"
"So you hired us out for body guard work?" asked Robin quickly figuring it out, "Does Luffy know about this?"
"No… but knowing him he'll agree." Explained Nami.
Robin had a small sweat drop… she was the newest member after all. She still wasn't 100 percent sure what was going on this ship.
Elsewhere, Yukie was give her horse water… while Naruto and Luffy were bugging her.
"That sure was a close one." Said Naruto.
"Why were those guys after you anyway?" asked Luffy.
"You two…" said Yukie glaring at the two, "You were the ones yelling at the show, weren't you?"
The two sweat dropped.
"You were." Sighed Yukie.
That was when Naruto took out a poster board, "Can I have your autograph."
Luffy looked sacred for some reason.
"What is it?" asked Yukie.
"Naruto likes Autographs… but I always thought it was for Kages only… I'm just surprised that it someone other than a Kage." Laughed Luffy.
"No way!" shouted Yukie.
"What?" asked Naruto.
"I don't give autographs." Said Yukie, "Thanks for the help by the way."
That was when she stormed off. However a bunch of kids walked over and asked her autographs, she chastised them for wanting something that they would "Just shove into a drawer and forget about them."
"What a bitch." Said Kyubi.
"You said it." Said Naruto.
"What did Kyubi say?" asked Luffy.
"He called her a bitch." Said Naruto.
"Call who a bitch?" asked a voice.
That was when they noticed Ino glaring at them.
"Not you Ino." said Naruto with a sweat drop.
Ino laughed, "Relax, I'm just messing with you." Said Ino, "By the way Nami wants us to return to the ship."
"Why?" asked Naruto.
"Don't know… all I know is that Nami probably hired ourselves out again." Said Ino.
"Because unlike last time, we didn't get paid." Said Kyubi which made Naruto sweat drop.
The three of them got to the ship.
"Good everyone's here." Said Nami.
"Isn't Luffy captain?" asked Gaara, "Shouldn't he be the one that summons everyone."
"It doesn't work like that on this ship." Said Kiba with a sweat drop.
Gaara only nodded…
"Well you see this Sandayu." Said Nami.
"Hello, I am the manager of Ms. Fujikaze Yukie, the actress." Said Sandayu.
"We're going to be escorting her to Snow Island." Said Nami.
"What really?" asked Sanji, the cigarette he was smoking began to blow out hearts.
"You're kidding right?" asked Naruto.
"But Naruto you saw the show today… didn't you?" asked Hinata.
"We met her on the street being chased by men dressed like the bad guys from the show." Said Luffy, "We helped her out and saved her."
Sandayu sweat dropped, "Those were stunt men/ body guards." He explained, "They were hired to protect her and escort her to me."
Both Naruto and Luffy sweat dropped.
"Normally she's okay with any play or show at any location. But this time around…" said Sandayu.
"All right you guys." Said Nami, "You have to find her."
"Why do we?" asked Zoro.
"Oh Zoro…" said Nami in a certain tone of voice.
"I paid off my debt!" shouted Zoro, "I have a clean slate right now!"
"Our deal became null in void after all that happened. You have to help out with this as much as you can Zoro." Said Nami with an evil smile, "Other your debt is going to go up."
Zoro began to sweat drop.
Nami turned to the other crewmembers and realized she meant business.
"Go find her now!" shouted Nami.
The members of the crew nodded… to go find the actress and of course. As always they really had no clue at what they were really getting into.
Next Time: The Straw Hats have a tough time, as they have to drag Yukie to her destination whether she likes it or not. And she is not liking it! Meanwhile there's a group of assassins after her! And it's not because she's an actress... Why are they after her? Find out next time!
