Chapter 18: Don't Anger a Harem
The three girls were beyond pissed… The three baroque works members didn't know what to do to calm them down.
"Oh what they to you?" asked Mr. 3.
"I'm Zoro's finance! The rest are just friends." Said Pantene.
Tomo glared at Pantene, "What that's supposed to mean! Zoro doesn't have to marry you!" yelled Tomo.
That's when Mari got in between the two of them.
"This isn't the time to be fight like this!" yelled Mari.
"You're all in love with the guy? Aren't you?" asked Mr. 3.
The three girls nodded…
"Oh my god!" yelled Mr. 3 who turned, "you're a harem guy!"
There was an awkward silence among everyone…
"Mr. 3… are you a Harem Manga fan?" asked Ms. Valentines.
Mr. 3 sighed… he had just let it slip…
"Yes I am! And I even figured out the archetypes!" yelled Mr. 3 who began to point at the all the girls that were (which was everyone but the giant).
"You're the quiet book worm." Said Mr. 3 pointing to Mari.
Mari merely blushed in response.
"You're the sexy tomboy." Said Mr. 3 pointing at Tomo.
"Gotta like the sound of that." Said Tomo with a smirk.
"You're the clingy yet fierce." Said Mr. 3 pointing to Pantene.
"Okay…" said Patnene who didn't know what Manga was.
"You're the Rich and/ or Princess girl." Said Mr. 3 pointing to Vivi.
"I can't believe he's a Magna fan…" said Vivi with a sweat drop.
"You're the one in denial." Said Mr. 3 pointing to Tashegi.
"What!" yelled Tashegi.
"And you're not part of the harem… but merely one of the girl's close friends." Aid Mr. 3 pointing to Nami.
"Okay… this is getting weird." Said Nami.
"And I know there's some border line Super Natural or Science-Fictiony girl around here." Said Mr. 3.
"Oh… he's good…" said Kuina with a big sweat drop.
"Now that you found out my secret shame… I'll have to kill you." Said Mr. 3.
"What about us?" asked Mr. 5.
"We'll figure something out." Said Mr. 3.
"3 against 3… I like those odds." Said Tomo.
"Wait… you mean three against 4." Said Mr. 3.
"Um… Mr. 3…" said Ms Valentines who then pointed to Ms. Golden Week (Mr. 3's Partner) reading a book while having a picnic off to the side.
"Law Suit on a Stick… that's clever." She said.
"Ms golden Week!" yelled Mr. 3.
"They're too smart and too angry to fall my Color Traps…" said Ms Golden week who went back to reading her book, "Oh wow… I wasn't him to get that weapon… I though it was going to be that Klingon weapon too…"
"Oh is that the 2nd Child of Light Book?" asked Mari.
"Yeah… I haven't read it yet…" said Ms. Golden Week.
"Then I won't spoil who's Damien last Dark Guardian is…" said Mari.
"We're supposed to fighting them!" yelled Patnene and Tomo.
"Sorry… but I love that book series." Said Mari with a laugh.
They all turned back to their opponents.
"Mari you get that bomb guy… Pantene, I think you two have something you need to solve… that leave the creepy Otaku to me." Said Tomo.
"Aren't you a Million?" asked Mr. 3.
"I was… but not anymore…" said Tomo.
"All right! Let's go!" yelled Patnene taking out her sword.
"You better not run off this time!" said Ms. Valentines.
Ms. Valentines jumped into the air and used her umbrella to float into the air, she then crashed into the ground, which Pantene dodged, Patnene smirked.
"You have a severe weakness." Said Patnene.
"What?" asked Ms. Valentines.
"I'm not going to tell you." Said Pantene with a smirk.
With Mari and Mr. 5, Mari tried to her best dodge Mr. 5 boogers.
"So that's you're power! You use explosives… both of us are long range fighters then." Said Mari.
"Oh really?" asked Mr. 5.
That's when Mari took out her bow and placed a lighting arrow into it and fired. Mr. 5. managed to catch it.
"An arrow? How pathetic." He said… before he electrocuted.
"All right!" cheered Mari.
With Tomo and Mr. 3…
Mr. 3 created a big wall of wax which Tomo broke though with her mallet.
"Quite clear of you." Said Mr. 3.
He then knocked out the mallet from her hands.
"You really think you win with out that mallet of yours?" he asked as then coat her hands with wax.
"You misunderestimate me…" said Tomo.
She then used one of the wax block that coated her hands and punched him in the fact hard.
That's when Luffy, Usopp and Carue arrived…
"So what we going to do?" asked Usopp, "Because they seem to handle things here."
"Hey! Luffy!" yelled Kuina joining them.
"I know… don't interfere." Whispered Luffy.
"That's good… I was about to tell you that." Said Kuina with a smile, "And besides… you know that they would just be angry with you for doing that, right?"
Luffy nodded…
They watched Ms. Satieties jumped into the air… Patnene then followed her into the air.
"What the!" yelled Ms. Valentines.
"I have incredible leg strength! I trained like that since I child!" said Patnene, "Wild Flower Slash!"
She then slashed the umbrella so much… that it was cut to pieces she then blew away into the win… she then used her powers to come crashing to the earth.
"What the…" muttered Ms. Valentines.
"You're weakness is that if you don't us you're umbrella you just float around aimlessly… if you do that again… you won't be able to aim at the proper target." Said Pantene.
"What?" asked Ms. Valentines.
That's when Pantone punched her into the gut.
"I win…" said Patnene.
With Mari and Mr. 5, they Mari shot arrows at him which Mr. 5 shot down using his exploding boogers.
Mari smirked as she took out a black arrow and shot it... which Mr. 5. Shot down… however unlike the others this one exploded in a cloud of black smoke.
"What the!" yelled Mr. 5.
"All the arrows I used before were ordinary arrows… no special thing about them… but this one created a smoke screen if destroyed or hits something…" said Mari's voice though the smoke.
That's when another arrow came though the smoke and hit him. That's when he fell unconscious. The smoke cleared and Mari smiled.
"All right! It worked work! He's knocked out." Said Mari.
He turned to the cake and began to think, "It's still wax… so it should work." She thought.
She then checked her quiver, "Only three fire arrows…" she thought.
That's when she noticed Usopp, "Hey! Usopp!" she yelled as she ran to him, Luffy and Carue.
"What is it?" asked Usopp.
"I need your help with making a plan…" said Mari.
"What is it?" asked Usopp.
"We need to come up with a plan to burn down that cake!" said Mari.
"If you're going to do something… then I'm, helping." Said Patnene joining them.
""Okay…" said Mari with a sigh.
With Tomo she continued to fight him… she managed to break off the things on his hands and grabbed her mallet again.
"You won't ever beat me…" said Mr. 3 carefully avoiding the whole "You're friends will because my art" speech… he didn't want to be killed by a super strong, super pissed off harem girl… He really didn't want to die that way.
She punched him again… that's when both of them saw the cake was set on fire.
"Oh no!" yelled Mr. 3.
"How did that happen!" said Tomo with her eye twitching.
Usopp came up with a plan that involved an oil soaked rope that was spread along the cake and the entrapped giant. Usopp and Mari then lit the rope on fire using their fire-based weaponry.
"Why you!" came a voice, "Flaming Oni Giri!"
That's when Zoro came out the fire with his swords on fire and hit Mr. 3.
"That was so cool!" yelled Tomo who hung her head low, "I barely did anything"
"Hey you guys okay?" asked Mari.
"Did it have to be so hot?" asked Nami…
Mari blushed slightly as Nami, Vivi and Tashegi all had their shirts burnt off.
Zoro looked at Mari… and sighed.
"Go talk to her." said Kuina.
"What?" asked Zoro.
"She was the one that saved your life… go congratulate her… she's needs the confidence boost." Said Kuina.
"Okay…" said Zoro blushing slightly.
Zoro walked over to congratulations Mari and thank her for being the one to rescue him.
"Kuina is something wrong?" asked Tashegi.
"No… nothing's wrong." Sighed Kuina.
That's when Mr. 3. Who turns out wasn't completely out of it.
"You really think you have won?" asked Mr. 3.
That's when Mr. 3 covered himself in wax and formed a Mecha from it.
"You won't win this time!" yelled Mr. 3.
"Why you!" yelled Luffy, "Mari! Give me one those fire arrows."
Mari nodded and gave Luffy one. Luffy stretched his arm and jammed the arrow into the enemies Mecha suit. It melted and Mr. 3 came out and began to chase Luffy into the forest.
"Okay… that was weird." Said Patnene.
"I'm going to leave now." Said Ms. Golden Week picking up her picnic and leaving she then turned to Mari, "Rachel isn't Damien's next choice, is she?"
"No she's not… the next choice in my opinion was better as it the first instance of Damien ruining his own plans." Said Mari.
Ms. Golden Week nodded and left.
"Okay… what was that about?" asked Usopp.
"We have the same taste in books." Said Mari.
"Is Tomo going to be all right?" asked Tashegi.
Tomo was currently hanging her head low in depression.
"I hope not." Answered Pantene.
Les than a minute later Luffy came back and shouted, "Well I kicked his ass! Once and for all!" he then noticed Tomo and asked a question that was already asked, "What's wrong with her?"
"Hey! I just noticed! Where's Sanji!" said Mari.
Everyone else sweat dropped as they realized Sanji wasn't with them… fortunately he wasn't injured and not only that but he was helping find a for them to get off that island, after all… they really had to get off… no matter what.
Next Time: After almost getting eaten by a Giant Goldfish. Zoro, Kuina, Tashegi and Luffy must decide who will be the next person to be let in on Kuina's existence. Meanwhile Nami becomes sick and no one knows who to treat her! What will happen? Find out next time!
A/N: Oh the book that Ms. Golden Week was reading was my 2nd Novel: Child of Light: Guardians of Darkness. It's also an extension of a Similar Joke in The Biju Biju Fruit... okay it's the same joke (Ms. Golden Week is off to the side while angry girls fighting over the same guy is trying to save those in the cake)... Still just saying... the book she was reading was my second Novel, which I hope to finish sometime next year.
