A/N: This chapter introduces a plot twist that will make things more entertaining... I won't say, but expect Zoro to start acting OOC...
Chapter 14: Jealously and Schemes
The crew just introduced their newest member, Tomo and explained Tomo and Vivi about Pantene's curse. They were now explaining to Usopp, Sanji and Mari about what was going on.
"I'm glad I was a sleep." Sighed Usopp.
"Don't worry, I may have been sleeping before and this sleeping knight is awake." Said Sanji.
This made all the girls sweat dropped except for Mari who said, "Wait… wasn't it a good thing we were asleep… I mean we would be on the list otherwise."
This made everyone else sweat drop.
"Well if we're done talking, I'm going to go make some more arrows! After all a big fight is coming up I bet." Said Mari.
Not too long later Mari was making her arrows while mopping with the air black around.
"What's wrong?" asked Nami walking to her.
"I'm not sad!" lied Mari.
Nami stared at Mari… who finally admitted, "Yeah… I'm sad…"
"So what's wrong?" asked Nami.
"I can't compete with Vivi and Tomo! Tomo so strong… and Vivi… she's a Princess… a real princess…" said Mari who began to fiddle with her fingers.
Nami sighed then realized something, "Hey, I want to let you in on something." Said Nami.
"What?" asked Mari.
Nami began to whisper something in her ear… which caused Mari to blush bright red.
"You want to take half naked pictures of him?" asked Mari.
"Not out loud." Said Nami.
Mari nodded quietly, "Okay… but still…" she said.
"And since we grew up together I'm giving you a special 50 percent discount that the others won't have." Said Nami.
"Really?" asked Mari.
Nami nodded, "Don't worry about it." Said Nami who was thinking, "What is it with Zoro?"
Meanwhile Mari wasn't the only mopping, upon discovering that Vivi seemed to have feelings for Zoro and Tomo admitted she wants to date him, Sanji wasn't in the best mood.
"Hey what's wrong?" asked Tashegi entering the room.
"Oh Tashegi! Your one of the few girls on this ship that's not in love with moss head!" said Sanji.
This made Tashegi sweat drop, "Yeah… and…" she said.
"It's just that all these girls keep falling in love with him and I just don't get it! What does he have that I don't have." Said Tashegi.
"Well…" said Tashegi.
"Are you saying you like him too!" cried Sanji.
"No… no…" said Tashegi putting her hands up in defense, "It's just that… I have to go!"
Tashegi sighed… "Oh man… this going to get even more complicated…"
That's when she heard a yell.
"You're going down bunny-girl!"
Everyone gathered on deck to find that that Tomo and Pantene were facing each other. Both had their weapons drawn.
"You really think you can beat an Amazon?" asked Pantene with a smirk.
"Oh man… they're going to fight." Said Usopp.
"Luffy! Zoro!" called Kuina.
"What?" whispered Luffy.
Zoro stared at her.
"You have to stop them! Remember what will happen if Tomo wins!" said Kuina.
"Oh man…" sighed Zoro.
"All right! Let's stop them!" said Luffy.
Right when both girls were about to strike the other, Zoro grabbed Pantene's arm while Luffy wrapped himself around Tomo.
"What the hell!" yelled Tomo.
"So… you stopped." Sighed Patnene.
"Hey why did you stop?" yelled Tomo.
"Patnene you didn't tell her about the Amazon laws, have you?" asked Zoro.
"Laws? What laws?" asked Tomo.
"Oh man… you caught me…" sighed Pantene.
"What?" asked Tomo, "Luffy can you let me go?"
"Okay, as long as you don't fight." Said Luffy.
Luffy let go of Tomo.
"Why didn't you tell me!" yelled Tomo.
"I figured that the Princess wouldn't fight me… but I knew you would… I decided to not tell you of the law." Said Patnene.
"You bitch!" said Tomo.
"No fighting!" yelled Luffy, "You two aren't allowed to fight, ever. Captains orders."
"Wow…" said Nami.
"What is it?" asked Vivi.
"Luffy never orders something like that." Said Nami.
"Well it is a life or death situation." Said Mari.
"Fine…" muttered Pantene.
"Can we glare and bicker at each other?" asked Tomo.
"There's no law about glaring and bickering." Said Patnene.
"I guess that's all right." Said Luffy.
The two began to glare at each other.
"I'm going to take a nap…" muttered Zoro who began to message his headache.
Zoro sighed and went to his usual nap spot… Kuina watch him leave… maybe it would best to tell him about the slight change of personality he'll go though… Zoro sat down.
"Hey there's something I need to tell you about." Said Kuina, "About the spell… I didn't want to tell you earlier because it wasn't effecting you thing… but it's starting to take effect."
"What?" muttered Zoro.
"The thing is… your personality is going to change." Said Kuina sheepishly.
Zoro's eye twitched, "What!" he yelled out, "What do you mean change?"
"Well it won't effect certain parts of your personality… you'll still be the great fight that you are… it's mostly going effect how you deal with woman." Said Kuina.
"Let me guess I'm going to be a suave lady's man so I can deal with them…" said Zoro with his eye twitching.
"No… it's kind of the opposite." Said Kuina.
"What the hell is that opposite!" yelled Zoro with a sweat drop.
"A hapless schmuck who can't deal with women very well and is confused whether he likes or hates the situation he's in." said Kuina laughing nervously.
"You're kidding right?" asked Zoro.
"Now tell me… and think about it… what you have done normally had that woman had groped you." Asked Kuina.
"I would have attacked her and maybe yelled at her." Said Zoro.
"What did you do?" asked Kuina.
"I froze up." Said Zoro with a sweat drop, "Why did I do that anyways?"
"Part of the personality changes…" said Kuina, "Don't worry it won't effect the rest of your personality, you're still the same bad ass sword drunken swordsman… you just can't deal with women very well…"
Zoro sighed, "I need a drink…" he muttered.
Zoro got up and went into the galley, and was kicked in the face by Sanji.
"What the hell!" yelled Zoro.
"How dare you trick those woman like that!" yelled Sanji.
"What!" yelled Zoro.
"First Mari, then Patnene, now Vivi and Tomo… not to mention those two other girls!" yelled Sanji.
"I don't want them! It's not my fault their in love with me!" yelled Zoro.
"What did you just say!" yelled Sanji.
The tow of course began to fight, Kuina and Tashegi watched form the doorway.
"I heard what you told him." Said Tashegi with a sweat drop.
"By the time the next girl shows up… he be a poor schmuck when it comes to girls for sure." Said Kuina.
Meanwhile on deck… Patnene and Tomo were glaring at each other… Vivi and Mari were watching… Vivi sighed.
"What is it?" asked Mari.
"It's just that… I don't know what to do…" said Vivi, "I mean I want to save my country."
"You also want to be with Zoro… don't you?" asked Mari.
"Yes…" sighed Vivi.
Mari smiled, "I had a similar dilemma as you… the town I grew up was controlled by Arlong and in secret I had a weapons lab even though it was a danger... when Zoro and other saved my town Luffy offered me a position… and I took it. Then again I was the shy quiet outcast girl nobody ever noticed… so I didn't to stay…"
"I see." Said Vivi with a sweat drop.
"Either way…" said Mari with a kind smile, "Let's be rivals!"
"What?" asked Vivi.
"You're my rival for Zoro's affection and I'm yours. How does that sound?" said Mari.
"Um…" said Vivi.
"Do you really want Zoro to end up with either of them?" asked Mari.
Vivi sweat dropped, "No… not really?"
"Okay… friendly rivals." Said Mari offering her handshake.
"Okay." Said Vivi.
The two shook hands…
"Hey, we're approaching the island!" yelled Usopp.
They all went to the bow of the ship.
"So that's little garden." Said Tomo.
"Little Garden?" asked Mari who began to giggle, "I bet it's a magical fairy tales like place filled with unicorns."
Everyone sweat drop.
"I really hope it's not like that." Said Usopp.
"Oh come on Unicorns aren't that girly… I heard about this one named Charlie who's a jerk and two girly unicorns took him to a place called Candy Mountain and BAM! They took his kidney!" said Tomo.
That only made everyone sweat drop even more.
And so they got to Little Garden… not knowing what was on that island or what will happen.
Next Time: The crew arrives on the island, the good news: there's no unicorns, the bad news: There's dinosaurs and giants. The crew breaks into small groups, as Zoro, Sanji and Tomo duel it out in a hunting contest and the rest meet the resident giants... but there's some twists as some enemies are there as well... what will happen? Find out next time!
A/N: Zoro slight personality change was a recent decision in the plot when I realized... there needs to be more humor in this. When the next girl (who won't join until Drum Island) and Robin join up Zoro's going to be a complete wreck... I won't say what the next girl is like... but you saw about Robin...
