Chapter 20: Calm Belt Adventure
Star and Luffy sat on the floor thinking. They wanted to go on another adventure in the Blue Dimension. But they weren't in the mood to go to the one of the Blues. But they were in the mood to have an adventure in the Blue Dimension.
And of course the Grand Line was out.
"Why don't you experiment?" asked Marco as the two had voiced their thoughts.
"What do you mean?" asked Luffy.
"Use the scissors to cute a portal with thinking about not going to any of those places." Said Marco.
"Marco you're a genius!" said Star.
Luffy used his scissors to cut open a portal and it of course worked.
"IT worked!" said Luffy, "Let's go check out this mystery island!"
The three of them stepped through the portal. And found themselves on an island.
"I wonder where we are in the world." Said Marco.
"Who cares adventure!" said Star.
Luffy grabbed the two of them and pulled them into a tree.
"Little warning next time…" muttered Marco.
They looked around the island.
"Look at that mountain…" said Star.
The mountain she was pointed appeared to be carved to look like giant snakes and carved into the island appeared to be Kanji for something.
"The clouds." Said Marco looking up to the sky.
They saw that the clouds were strangely stagnant.
"That's weird." Said Luffy.
"I'm sure it's fine." Said Star.
"Let's go find adventure!" cheered Luffy.
"All right!" said Star.
The three of them began to explore the island. Looking at various sites and other things.
That was when they heard something. They turned and found a girl around their age (maybe a little younger) in the forest with a green snake around her body.
"Who's there!" she called out.
The three looked at her.
"Should we introduce ourselves." Said Marco.
Before Star could answer.
"Hey! I'm Luffy!" said Luffy jumping in front of her.
The girl jumped in the air in shock.
"Luffy…" muttered Marco.
Star just giggled at her brother.
They got out of their hiding spot.
"You're outsiders aren't you?" asked the girl in shock.
"Yeah." Said Star.
"Don't worry we're just exploring." Said Marco.
"How did you get here?" asked the girl.
"Magic!" said Star.
"Really?" asked the girl shocked.
Star created a rainbow using her wand and it once again caught on fire.
"Seriously! You need to fix that!" said Marco.
"I know! I know!" said Star.
"That's so amazing!" said the girl.
"Do you think you can show us around?" asked Marco.
"Of course! You just have tell me about the outside world!" said the girl.
"Cool!" said Star.
"Oh I'm Marguerite!" said the girl excited to hear about the outside world.
"I'm Star!" said Star.
"I'm Marco." Said Marco.
"it's nice to meet you." Said Marguerite.
She took them into town. All three of them were in awe.
The town seemed to be populated by women and only women.
They looked around for a bit while Star talked to Marguerite.
"Really you and Marco are form other Dimensions?" asked Marguerite surprised.
"Oh yeah! I'm from one called Mewni and Marco's called one from Earth." Said Star, "Though most people don't know about other Dimensions in this one."
"How?" asked Marguerite.
Star took out her dimensional scissors and cut open a portal. She was amazed as Star closed it.
"Should you be telling other people?" asked Marco.
"It's fine." Said Star, "But Luffy is from this Dimension… just another part of the world."
"Where is she from?" asked Marguerite.
"Wait did you just call Luffy she?" asked Star.
"Yes…" said Marguerite.
"Hey! Why aren't there any guys here?" asked Luffy.
"What." Said Marguerite.
"Are they all away or…" said Luffy.
"Why are you asking about men…" said Marguerite, "They're forbidden here."
"What…" said Star.
"Wait…" said Marguerite realizing something, "Are you men?"
"Me and Marco are but Star's not…" said Luffy.
"Luffy!" hissed Marco.
Marguerite screamed.
"Marguerite what's wrong?" asked women.
"Those two are men!" she shouted.
"What!" yelled a women.
"Why are you showing around men?" asked another woman.
"I knew they were outsiders but I didn't know they were men!" yelled Marguerite.
"Run!" yelled Marco.
The three of them began to run away.
However the women of the island who much like Marguerite had snakes, and they all grabbed their snakes and because to use them as bows to shoot arrows.
"Rainbow Hyper Shield!" called out Star.
She created a large rainbow colored shield, however when the arrows hit they began to crack the shield.
"Run faster!" yelled Marco.
They three of them ran.
"Luffy I can say this is all your fault!" yelled Marco.
"Don't go blaming each other and just run!" yelled Star.
As they ran more of the women shot arrows at them.
Durring the insanity of it, Luffy ended up going one way and Marco and Star another.
Neither knowing they got seprated due to hecticness of it all.
Marco and Star managed to find a place to hide.
"All right! Time to get out of here!" said Marco.
"Luffy's not here!" said Star.
"Oh great…" said Marco, "We're on an island where everyone wants to kill us…"
"We have to find him." said Marco, "But how…"
"You don't mind dressing up in a bikini do you?" asked Star.
Marco sighed… he knew he had to dress in drag again.
He didn't mind that much for reasons… but it still annoyed him that it was second time that month…
"Okay do it!" said Marco.
"Radiant Shadow Transform!" said Star.
Both of them appeared to dress like the notice of the island. With Marco once again wearing a fake pony tail and Star with her hair in a braid so that they wouldn't recognize her.
"Let's go find my brother before he causes more problems." Said Star.
"I feel like you just tempted fate." Sighed Marco.
Elsewhere Marguerite was crying while the other women assured her.
"Don't' worry Marguerite no one blames you… you're young and you never met men before." Said one of the women.
"But this is really bad! We have to catch them before the empress finds out." Said another woman.
"Oh right… she is on the island." Said another woman.
"This is beyond bad…" said another.
"No one will tell tem you let them on the island." Said another.
"But I didn't let them on the island! They came here via magic!" said Marguerite, "They have magic scissors that let them go any where!"
"Seriously." Said another.
"Maybe if we chaise them off they will leave." Said a very tall girl.
"Hopefully… then at least we can pretend this didn't happen." Said another woman.
With Luffy he decided to go roof hopping.
"Great where are Star and Marco." Said Luffy.
"There's one of them!" yelled a voice.
"Oh man!" yelled Luffy.
He began to run.
As he continued to run bells began to be rung.
With Star and Marco they heard the bells.
"What's the bell." Said Star.
"How can you not know the bell!" said a woman nearby.
"My friend has really bad memory problems! She forgets things all the time!" said Marco.
Star was about say something but Marco gave her a look.
The woman sighed.
"You forgot about the gorgon curse didn't you?" asked the woman.
"The Gorgon cruse?" asked Star.
The woman sighed.
"There was a gorgon that if someone were to look in her eyes they would turn to stone." Said the woman, "However the Snake Princess and her sisters managed to slay her. However with her dying screams she laid a curse on the three. Placing Gorgon Eyes on their backs. Whenever they take off their clothes people all around them turn to stone. So they make sure no one is in the castle when they bathe."
"The snake princess ?" asked Star.
"You forgot who the Snake Princess is?" asked the woman.
"um… yes?" asked Star.
The woman sighed.
"She is the strongest woman on the island, the Empress… not only that but she is a formidable pirate but one of the most infamous." said the woman, "She is one of the 7 War Lords of the Sea."
"7 War Lords of the Sea?" asked Star as this was indeed a praise she never heard before.
"The 7 Government Sponsored Pirates." She sighed.
"Oh wow… I forgot that they did that." Said Star causing the woman to sigh.
Star also knew she had to throw her off the trail of her not knowing these things.
That was when she pointed at a tree.
"Uh-huh… and what's that?" asked Star.
"That's a tree." Said the woman.
"Tr-ee…" said Star slowly.
The woman looked at Marco.
"There is something wrong your friend." Said the woman to Marco.
"I'm well aware." Sighed Marco.
"Hey!" yelled Star.
"Come on let's get you home before you forget something else important." Said Marco.
Once they were out of ear shot.
"All right! Let's find Luffy and make sure not to anger a really scary pirate lady. Said Marco.
"Yeah." Sighed Star.
OF course Luffy was causing problems.
He continued to roof hop. As he roof hopped he jumped onto part of the roof of the palace.
When he landed on the roof he fell through the room.
"Oh no! is that the bathhouse!" yelled one of the women trying not catch him.
"No, no the Snake Princess is going to learn about them." Said another woman.
Meanwhile in the bath house a very boatful woman was bathing.
Then Luffy crashed the roof.
He panicked thinking he was going to drown.
But as it was bath it was very shallow.
"Oh never mind." Said Luffy standing up.
That was when he noticed the woman in front of him.
He noticed a strange mark on her back.
"What's that on your back?" asked Luffy.
"You saw it!" yelled the woman suddenly becoming angry.
Two other woman stormed in, one was a very large woman who looked fat (but it was all muscle) the other had a strange head that resembled a snakes.
"Hancock!" yelled the large woman.
"What's wrong!" yelled the snake like woman.
They both saw Luffy.
"Is that a man!" demanded the snake like woman.
"How did he get in here!" demanded the large woman who at the same time putting a robe on the woman who was indeed Hancock.
"He saw my back." Growled out Hancock.
Both of the women were shocked.
"He must die!" growled out the large woman.
"What all I did was see her back and saw that weird mark… is a tattoo or something?" he asked.
"You saw something we would die to prevent anyone from seeing." Said Hancock.
"What?" asked Luffy ,"Why… what's going on."
"All who see what you saw must die!" yelled Hancock.
"What!" yelled Luffy who was even more confused.
Hancock held out her hand in a heart shaped.
"Love Love Beam!" she called out.
She shot out a heart shaped beam.
Luffy froze when it hit then blinked and sucked on his lips when nothing happened.
Hancock became eve angrier.
"Love Love Beam!" she tried again.
But once again nothing happened.
"Was that supposed to do something?" asked Luffy confused.
"Why doesn't he turn into stone." Said Hancock.
"That's impossible sister! You're beauty outshines anything!" yelled the Large woman, "Even both genders fall in love with you!"
"Uh…" said the Snake Like woman, "How old are you exactly."
"14…" said Luffy confused.
"I don't think he noticed girls yet." Said the snake like woman.
"I notice girls! I have sister and I notice her all the time! I mean she's there! Right so I notice her." Said Luffy.
"Well… this is awkward." Said the snake headed woman.
"It's okay sister… he's a late bloomer, it's not you." Said the large woman.
However Luffy realized he had a chance to run and he did so. So he jumped out the window.
However Hancock knew she couldn't let him get away.
She kissed her fingers creating a heart.
"Pistol Kiss!" she called out.
She shot out the heart at Luffy however to the sharpness of it hurt hi causing him to land hard.
"There is!" yelled one of the women who were chasing him.
Luffy was captured. And word spread though the town.
"Of course he got captured." Said Marco.
"Looks like this has to be rescue mission." Said Star.
They went to the island's coliseum where Luffy was going to be put to death.
He stood in the middle of the coliseum tied up with strange snakes.
"Tell me man…" said Hancock.
"Should we still call man?" asked the snake headed woman, "I mean… it's clear he's not a man yet."
"Okay… tell me boy!" she said, "How did you get on the island."
"I came here via magic!" said Luffy, "Me, my sister and my friend used Dimensional Scissors to get here and explore!"
"Dimensional Scissors?" asked Hancock.
"Yeah! They're these magical scissors that creates portals and you can travel dimensions!" said Luffy.
"Seriously you expect me to buy such a ridiculous tale?" asked Hancock.
"If you untie me then I'll prove it!" said Luffy, "I have one the scissors in my pocket!"
Hancock glared at Luffy.
"How dare you make up a story like that!" said Hancock.
In the crowd Star and Marco nodded.
"Radiant Rainbow Bridge!" yelled Star.
She created a bridge to get into the coliseum's center. She and Marco joined Luffy.
"Who are you two!" yelled Hancock.
"Sorry but our disguises were too perfect." Said Star.
She turned her and Marco's clothes back to normal.
"Finally… I'm okay with the princess dress but that was just itchy!" said Marco.
"TMI Marco." Muttered Star.
The woman glared at the two. Marco tried to untie Luffy but the snakes tried to bit him.
Star took out her scissors and used them to create a portal.
"He's telling the truth! See! Let him go now!" said Star as the portal closed.
"All right!" said Hancock walking down towards the center, "The story on how you got here has been confirmed… however he still saw something and he must for it. As for you two…"
She held to her hands in a heart again.
"Love Love Beam!" she called out.
The beam hit the two.
"However it didn't seem to work again."
"What…" she said.
"Was that supposed to do something?" asked Star.
In the crowd everyone was concerned.
However the tall woman was looking at the sky.
"That's weird." Said the tall woman.
"Aphelandra, what's wrong?" a woman asked her.
"I thought I saw the moon in the sky for a moment… but it was red." Said the woman Aphelandra.
"Must have been your imagination." Replied the woman next to her.
"How are you three immune!" demanded Hancock.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Said Star, "SO let my brother go and we'll stop bothering you!"
Hancock scowled and walked away.
"Realest Bacura!" said Hancock.
That was when a large panther was let into the Coliseum.
"That Panther is Bacura the Executioner!" said Hancock.
As she explained the strange snakes tying Luffy up untied them selves and slithered away.
"He has severed the enemies of this land for Generations…" said Hancock, "When she's finished with you…"
"Gum Gum Pistol!" called out Luffy punching the giant panther so hard that not only was she barley conscious but also sent flying in the stands.
"How dare you!" yelled Hancock.
"He so strong that he was able to send him flying with one punch!" said someone in the crowd shocked.
"Hey! I beat him! I'm going home now!" said Luffy.
Everyone in the coliseum just gaped at him.
Hancock's eye twitched. She already remember Luffy was immune to her beauty due to not noticing girls yet but this…
She was wondering what was wrong him.
"Marigold!" said Hancock.
The large woman entered the main part of the coliseum.
"Sandersonia!" called out Hancock.
The woman with the snakehead joined in.
"Bring their heads to me." Said Hancock.
They watched at the two women turned into Gigantic snake hybrids.
"What!" said Marco.
"Devil Fruit powers." Said Luffy.
"Marco you should get out of here." Said Star handing him her Dimensional Scissors, "I don't think you can handle them."
"No! I'm staying." Said Marco.
Star sighed.
"Happy Hamster Ball Shield!" she called.
That was when a shield that vaguely resembled a hamster ball popped into existence around Marco.
"Seriously!" yelled Marco.
However the crowd was going wild.
"It's the Gorgon's curse!" yelled a woman in the crowd.
"So amazing!" yelled another, "To see their accursed forms."
"Wait… cursed?" asked Luffy.
"They think it's a curse from a Gorgon." Explained Marco.
"From the looks of it it's a lie." Said Star.
"Oh okay!" said Luffy.
"Sandersonia! Marigold! Begin! Punished them for defiling the land with their very presence!" yelled Hancock, "Begin the war dance!"
The two snake like woman began their attacks.
Marigold slammed her spear into Marco's shield which thankfully held for now.
"Okay… good idea with the shield." Marco ended up relenting.
"We're still not out of the woods." Said Star.
Luffy began to fight off Marigold to get her off Marco's back.
She spat something at him, but Luffy dodged.
"What is that?" asked Luffy.
"It looks like poison." Said Star.
That was when Sandersonia grabbed Star with tail and began to fling her around.
"Super Bunny Rabbit Barrage!" called out Star.
She sent out a barrage of ball shaped bunnies at her, forcing the snake woman to let her go.
Once she let go of Star. She managed to land on her feet.
"Strawberry Annihilation!" called out Star.
Sandersonia was hit but the blast, however she started to recover.
"How are you doing this!" yelled Sandersonia in shock.
"It's magic!" yelled Star.
"She's doesn't have to explain anything!" yelled a woman in the crowd.
"I see." Said Sandersonia with her eye twitching.
However while thanks to magic Star was not having much problems, Luffy on the other hand was having a hard time.
He tried to kick Marigold who blocked using her hand, causing his foot to bounce off.
She then jabbed him with the blunt end of her spear causing Luffy to scream in in pain.
"Luffy!" yelled Star.
This distraction gave Sandersonia a chance to attack Star sending her flying.
She thankfully didn't fall into the edge, as the battlefield of the coliseum was filled with razor sharp spikes.
""This is bad…" said Star.
"We should get out of here." Said Marco.
"No… I have an idea!" said Luffy getting up.
Luffy flung himself at Star and gave her his idea.
"Okay that might work." Said Star.
"All right! Marco let's distract them!" said Luffy wrapping his arm around Marco's shield.
"Wait… what?" asked Marco.
Luffy flung the ball shield with Marco in it at them.
Marigold however knocked it away, thankfully not landing in the pit.
"Luffy… I hate so much right now…" muttered Marco.
Luffy meanwhile called out "Gum Gum Gatling!" and tried to use the attack on Sandersonia, however she managed to dodge each punch frustrating Luffy.
Thankfully these distractions did work as it was enough to leave them alone from Star.
She twirled her wand and pointed her wand at the two snake women's tails.
"Super Loopy Pretzel Knot!" called out Star.
She tied the two's tails. Causing the two to get tangle up.
"What's going on!" yelled Marigold.
"How did this happen!" said Sardinian.
The two struggled.
Star decided to be the one to end the fight.
"Blueberry Blazing Inferno!" called out Star shooting bright blue flames out of her wand.
The blue flames engulfed the two. However at it did it ended up burning away Sandersonia's clothes. And thanks to the tangling she also fell off the main floor and into the pit. Thankfully she grabbed the ledge of the spectator area.
Luffy's eyes widened as she did. He ran over and grabbed her.
"What are you doing!" yelled Sandersonia.
"He's going to finish her off!" yelled a woman in the crowd.
"I know you want to kill me but I don't want to kill you." Luffy told the snake woman.
"Luffy what…" said Marco.
"Look…" said Star.
Marco's eyes widened realizing what Luffy was doing.
Marigold also figured out what Luffy was doing as well.
"What are you waiting for!" said Sandersonia.
"I can't Sonia… he's the only thing covering your back!" said Marigold.
Everyone in the coliseum began to freak out.
"You said you would rather die than let anyone see what's on your back, right?" asked Luffy, "Then don't move."
"The War Dance is over! Evacuate the coliseum immediately before the Gorgon Eye is exposed" yelled Hancock.
Everyone fled in terror expect for one old woman.
Star removed the bubble from around Marco.
"Hey Luffy! Get off her!" called out Star.
Luffy jumped off the snake woman and Star magical up a tee-shirt for her.
"Thank you." Said Sandersonia unsure how to respond.
Both snake like woman turned back to their normal forms, which thankfully didn't effect their legs.
"Tell me…" said Hancock, "Tell my why did you do that?"
"What's on your back has nothing to with our duel." Said Luffy, "So you want to fight now?"
"No I don't." said Star.
"Why did you come to this island?" asked Hancock.
"Adventure." Said Luffy.
"We wanted to go to an island that wasn't on one of the blues or the grand line." Said Star.
The three sisters stared at the trio.
"So your magical scissors brought you here because the island isn't in any of those…" Hancock said unsure how to respond to any of it.
"Where are we anyway?" asked Marco.
"Our island is on the Calm Belt." Said Hancock still unsure how to respond to it, "It's a stretch of sea that borders the Grand Line and the other seas."
"Oh wow! I didn't know about that." Laughed Luffy.
"Maybe you should tell them!" called out the lone old woman in the stands.
"Wait…" said Star.
"She already knows." Said Marigold.
"Let me ask you something… what do you know of the Celestial Dragons?" asked Hancock.
"Celestial Dragons?" Luffy asked confused.
Hancock sighed, it was clear that whatever was going he had no clue.
The three were brought to the castle.
"So are you from this Dimension?" asked Hancock.
"Luffy is… but we're not." Said Marco.
"But I've been coming here since I was little." Said Star.
"And you've never heard of the Celestial Dragons." Said Sandersonia.
"Wait… I think I remember that name before…" said Star.
She began to think and her eyes widened, "I remember now! Dadan told us that they were the reason why Trash Mountain was burned down!"
"What really!" yelled Luffy.
Star shuddered at the memory.
"Star?" asked Marco.
"Still not telling you." Said Star.
Marco realized it had something to do with the story of how Sabo came to live in the palace.
"IT sounds like you don't have a pleasant experience." Said Sandersonia who was still wearing the t-shirt that Star managed up for her.
"You know you have to wear that…" said Marigold.
"It's comfy and easy to wear." Said Sandersonia blushing a little.
"It could have been a lot worse." Said Luffy.
So who are the Celestial Dragons?" asked Marco.
"The Decedents of the Founders of the World Government." Muttered Hancock.
"What does that have to do anything?" asked Luffy.
"They own slaves." Said the old woman walking into the room.
"What?" asked Star.
"That's legal here?" asked Marco horrified.
"Technically it was outlawed… however the officials turn their backs and allow it's existence due to the fact that the Celestial Dragons still engage in it." Said the old woman.
"That's horrible." Said Star.
"Wait… does that mark have…" said Luffy.
"It's a brand… a brand that the Celestial Dragon's give their salves." Said Hancock.
Hancock told them the story on how when they were children they were kidnaped and taken in as salves to the Celestial Dragons. They were freed by a Fish Man named Fisher Tiger.
Not only that but they were forced fed Devil Fruit, the Love Love Fruit, the Snake Snake Fruit Model: Anaconda (Sandersonia) and Snake Snake Fruit Model: King Cobra.
"Because of that we have been able to device out own people and keep our secret. If you hadn't covered Sonia's back. Then we world have had leave the island." Explained Hancock then she broke down crying, "I don't want anyone to know about our pasts! Even if it means deceiving my people! I don't want anyone controlling me ever again!"
That was when Star started to hug her.
"Its' okay!" said Star, "All three of us will keep your secret."
"Yeah! I don't know much about the Celestial Dragons but my brother just joined the Revolutionaries! So he'd probably hate use if we sided with the Celestial Dragons." Said Luffy.
"What you went through is really messed up. So don't worry." Said Marco.
The three sister realized that the three were being genuine.
"Thank you so much…" said Hancock.
"It's been such a long time!" said the old woman who was standing on her snake and balancing on it.
"Elder Nyon…" growled out Hancock.
"In recent years the snake princess showed no emotion at all." Said the woman named Nyon, "I was afraid that her heart had frozen solid."
"Silence you're a traitor to this nation!" yelled Hancock.
"No you be silent!" yelled Nyon back, "You managed to run away from the Celestial Dragons but you couldn't find your way back!"
Before the bickering could continue Luffy's stomach rumbled.
"I'm hungry!" he complained.
"You are?" asked Hancock looking at him, "We should get that fixed."
Nyon looked at Hancock's reaction.
"Really?" asked Luffy.
"Of course you three are special gusts from here on out!" said Hancock, "You're welcome on this island any time!"
"All right!" cheered Star.
"Awesome!" cheered Luffy.
"Didn't expect the day to end like that." Said Marco.
They held a party in the three's honor.
Durring the party Marguerite made her way to the three.
"I'm sorry earlier." Said Marguerite.
"It's fine!" said Luffy.
"yeah, you were only following the rules of the island." Said Marco.
""Hey! Maybe we can hang out sometime! And we can show your around our dimensions!" said Star.
"If I get permission." Said Marguerite.
"All right!" cheered Luffy.
However it should be noted that Hancock didn't' attended the party.
She wasn't feeling up to it.
However Nyon decided to speak with her.
"I wanted to talk to you about certain things." Said Hancock.
"I figured out why Star and Marco are immune." Said Hancock, "Durring our conversation I sensed something I never felt between the two."
"That's not what I wanted to talk about." Sighed Nyon though she was some what interested in the bond that Hancock spoke about.
"What is it?" asked Hancock.
"It's about that boy Luffy." Said Nyon.
Hancock blushed at the boy's name.
"He's too young to understand certain things." Said Hancock.
"It is true." Said Nyon, "How there is a law I believe I should inform you of… even if you are a pirate and a War Lord of the Sea."
"I've heard about that law!" said Hancock blushing bright red.
"I'm saying hold your self for the next couple of years." Said Nyon.
Hancock blushed and nodded.
With that Star, Marco and Luffy gained new friends… and for Luffy something else entirely as well, becoming the envy of many men and women…
For Hancock was considered one of the most beautiful women in the world… and she was clearly developing something for Luffy.
Though she would try to hold herself back for the time… as Luffy was still too young… and also still not interested in women… for the time being… maybe… who knows with him…
Next Time: Star's class goes on a Field Trip but Star takes over and it goes to another Dimension. Well needless to say everything goes wrong. What will happen? Find out next time!
A/N: Hancock will get more appearances, I'm planning at least one big one, an occasional small ones. Not only that but Marguerite is going to be a reoccurring character... Also no one suggests that Hancock gets her hands on some Princess Gummygum merch. I was already planning on it... So yeah...
