Sometime last chapter there is a new poll temporarily replace the last one. It's votes for the stories that you want to see or something new. The choices are currently Traveler's Journey, Galaxy Pirates and Forgotten Memories, or some new story being made. One reason for this is because I know that from time to time I stop updating certain stories and focus more on others. So by your choice if you have a certain choice, I will focus on them for 10 or more chapters if anyone like that story.
While yes the whole Samurai Jack thing would have been exciting, but I don't like season 5 and really just had fun with it. Honestly it was just some one-shot base on the trailer, to be frank if that went through I would have pitted Jack vs Black Knights in play. If anyone takes over the story that's fine, would be better in someone's else more capable hand then someone that doesn't know what their doing.

Chapter 20: Pirate Cruise in Space II - Daily Routine
Space Travel - Day 6
While many would considered this vacation on normal beaches or party at somebodies house at night. The Straw Hats and Committee are more so enjoying the new views and sights thanks to Merlin's Magic and their first time experiences. For the Committee it was the first time they are witnessing the outside Space without dying of losing breath, the fact this ship is made for sea travels and not space adds more beautiful wonders from what they couldn't expect. The Straw Hats having no magic or dealt with magic before can hardly believe what they are seeing and how they are traveling the black seas as some would call it. Even if this wasn't their first time, the fact they are using a ship not meant for space and have great view of the black seas brings much excitement and joy to the Pirate Crew. For Luffy he sat on the Figure head on the Sunny watching with child-like wonder. Yet this also brought peace to the crew and Committee as they see Luffy sitting there looking into space with much silence that even shocks the Pirate Crew. For the Committee this was something they have seen only few would ever appreciate the experience of space.
"He's still sitting there?" Usopp asked.
"Yeah he is bro, and being quiet isn't his style." Franky answered.
"If I would guess, I say he's most likely enjoying what no being from your world would dream about." Aerith added to their answer.
"Well not every world has people that can travel space, though maybe most would have been scared out of their pants." Merlin said.
"Of course we would be scared, traveling some place where there is no air isn't natural." Usopp argued.
"True, but you can't deny the beauty of the mass space. I wouldn't be surprise when all of this is done Luffy would want to explore the worlds in this vast space." Merlin said.
"No doubt he would find many places to explore, who knows maybe he'll want to explore space sometimes." Aerith guessed, having some idea about Luffy it's possible for him to maybe actually adventure more then his world. Usopp look over where Luffy is sitting and look at space past him. For the life of him, Usopp knows he's not the strongest or bravest man in the seas, in face he could honestly say there are much fears and struggles he has to overcome. Their last adventure with CP9 is a wake up call to what he needs to change and improve upon. Much laid bare on his mind and he wasn't sure he could keep up with everyone, but if Luffy wanted him and anyone like him for this adventure, then he can't just sit around and pretend things will be alright without him. The fact if Usopp didn't help delay Robin's capture, they would have lost her forever. But these worlds, if the last world is any indication then what world's will they be facing.
"Usopp." He is brought back by Aerith looking concern towards him.
"Sorry, I just doze off for a moment." Usopp tried to shrug off his feelings, but the others nearby understand he was feeling something, yet drop it for the time being. The two went off wanting to do something, while Usopp look at where Luffy is sitting. He would have tried to interrupted him, but figure he's enjoying the view. So for now they will have to let it go for the time being.
With Nami, Leon and Yuffie, they are watching from distance where Luffy is sitting. For Nami she's actually worried and feeling strange about this quiet side to Luffy, normally he would find some excitement or try to play games. But for him to actually be this quiet for this long and not make some noise is really weird, in fact she could describe as something abnormal in her case.
"Something up?" Leon asked, shaking Nami out of her thoughts.
"Nah, just thinking is all." Nami told Leon.
"Your worried about Luffy." Yuffie joined in asking, she turn to face them embarrassed that she's caught. Yet sigh at their correct answer, she wouldn't admit it but she started to miss the noise and how Luffy is always trying to have fun or cause trouble. But a Luffy that has taken interest in something and remains quiet is out of her understand, or for the straw hat crew.
"Alright I admit, I am worried for him." Nami confessed but explains, "You know, Normally he would try to find some game or play around with Usopp and Chopper. But lately he has been staring into this... space. It's like he has been hypnotize by someone forced to watch the stars. And yes that did happen on occasion with some pirates, but this... this is something I don't understand. He would do this every so often when he finally quiet down, but not look at space this long. He's been this way what all day at least?!" Nami asked the two since they would know this better then her.
"It's actually 12 hours if you are just thinking normal passage of time. But this isn't something new." Leon assures Nami, smirking as he stares at Luffy's back.
"He's just excited about space, if anything everyone from their own world would have at least want to explore space. Maybe with actual technology and physics instead of magic. But you can't deny your curious about what's out there right?" Yuffie asked Nami.
"Well... maybe, but I would do that without the Heartless around trying to take our hearts." Nami stated, both Leon and Yuffie understood what she meant, yet for Yuffie she couldn't help sweat drop at her claim and said, "What about the Munny we obtain."
"THAT'S DIFFERENT!" Nami tried to defend herself, only for Leon to chuckle while Yuffie whistle making herself appear innocent from laughing.
"It may not be your idea of fun, but for someone like Luffy he's has this adventurous spirit that you can tell he wants to visit other worlds. I can say if you ever feel that this isn't for you or the crew, just talk about it. It's not like he would say no or anything." Yuffie advise, but then both of them felt some negative aura from Nami as rain clouds hovered over her head.
"I take it he would do it regardless of your decision." Leon figured, with Nami nodding in reply.
"Well if you have any problems let us know, I'll be with the others in the library." Yuffie said to both Leon and Nami.
"Okay." Nami waved as Yuffie left both Leon and Nami alone. For Nami she is both worried about Luffy and what worlds they would have to face next. Already just from the first world, if they didn't have to fight the heartless things would have been nice and easy. Yet despite this she also realize that the first world was easy compared to the next ones. Luffy however seems intent on seeing other worlds, this made her and Usopp worried for him and their own wellbeing as they didn't know if they could fight like this until reaching Radiant Gardens.
Sunny Go. - Crow's Nest
While those on the deck or other parts of the ship are relaxing Zoro and Cloud are training themselves to become stronger. While Cloud don't know about their world and how they operate, he does understand that being a world traveler through mystical means allows each person to enhance or develop other people's powers and abilities. One of the things Cloud, Leon and Auron thought about is how in their travels, they develop certain powers, appearance and traits from that world can be pasted on to them. Granted they haven't that many worldly adventures to figure things out like the Keyblade Wielders, but they did however learn much in their travels.
Right now Zoro and Cloud are the only one's training using weights in the crow's nest. Leon and Auron would join with them, but are busy with their own personal stuff. For Leon it's more about being appointed leader he has establish overtime, and Auron mostly for age and guidance since he couldn't get more stronger even if others argue about it. The two are now finished with their weight training, as Zoro is resting alongside Cloud now wearing more casual clothes for this moment.
"You do this everyday." Cloud asked between breaths, knowing the answer already.
"Yea, it's to keep me in shape and focus for what's to come. So far we haven't actually met something that challenging, but if there are many worlds out there. I would love to test my blade against other swordsman. Even try a few heartless if there strong enough, those guys calling themselves Freakish Shadow 10 seemed strong." For Zoro this was an interesting, yet very exciting experience towards his goal. For Cloud however he feels this was something that shouldn't happen. Heartless becoming intelligent?! That already raised warning flags, if this was just one incident on this world, he and the committee hope this was just one time deal.
"There will be more, but for the most part they aren't tough once you figure out the weakness. Sure their have been tricky and powerful Heartless, but that's only few and between, not sure if there be anything stronger then one's we have faced before." Cloud said giving his thoughts, while he can admit he's not the brightest of the bunch. He's has some common sense and reason enough to fight battles outside his understanding, even if they are dumb. This made Cloud realize that with the Straw Hats, he and others like him would be called idiots at some point if they behave like Luffy and others in some ridiculous moment.
"What would you say is the strongest heartless you fought." Zoro asked grinning, Cloud took a moment to think about it, yet came with the answer, " Phantom and Kurt Zisa, two of them stick out most because of how hard they were to defeat. The others we have encounter weren't as bad as them. Aerith ran out of magic and needed protecting, while the Phantom had some strange yet effective abilities. There are some sub-bosses that would give you run for your money, the chances of encountering them might be high." Cloud remember that some heartless weren't even bosses and still manage to make them fight harder then before.
"Well with Luffy anything is possible, he's always a magnet for trouble." Zoro then went to his meditation state, Cloud would join as to clear his thoughts. Normally would practice swinging his buster sword, but seeing as they haven't had adventures and are still rusty around the edges, they needed to work on their skills some more.
Sunny Go. - Workrooms(Usopp's Factory and Franky's Weapons)
At the Workrooms, both Usopp's and Franky had been working on some new inventions. When leaving the world, the Straw Hats and Committee took some stuff necessary for their trip. For Luffy while sad he no longer is part monkey, wanted some banana like food. Sanji didn't know what he wanted, but from the way Luffy is asking wanted to eat different types of fruits. This made the Straw Hats surprise he doesn't asked for meat, the Committee pointed out that maybe it was something he wanted since leaving the world or still under it's effects. They didn't question it as this was Luffy and him being bright would be the day everyone shaved their heads including Nami surprisingly.
"Just a bit more." right now Usopp and Cid are working on some project, making some experiments using the technology and gear they acquired from the Professor along with new models for the future. What they are working on is some sleeping gas that can be used for fights. When working with Usopp, Cid understood that he wanted his attacks more random and unpredictable. Since he couldn't fight hand to hand, Usopp would be destroyed easily. Knowing this feeling Cid would help work on some projects Usopp would think about and help Franky with weapons they could equipment. It would be more helpful with a Moogle shop nearby or on some world, but for now they would have to work what they got in hand.
"There that should do it." Cid said with satisfactory.
"Thanks for the help, made working on these much easier then by myself. Franky would come to help, but since we're in space and anything can happen we have to be careful, or some heartless would appear." Usopp said mostly to himself. At the moment they had at least some gadgets Usopp can use for next time, one is the sleeping gas for multiple enemies, mostly for live people since this wouldn't work on Heartless or other none living beings. Another is the net contain in some marble, Usopp as at least 2 types one for capture and another for electrical effect.
Other gadgets they have been working on for Usopp is the Heart Seeker. When mention that heartless can seek out hearts, Usopp thought about what if they couldn't tell the real one from the fake one. After some discussion Usopp came up with one counter for the Heartless known as Heart Seeker, it's used with both magic and technology to create some fake heart signals that the heartless would mistake as real hearts. The last two they been working on is still in development, but it would improved Usopp's chances in fights not just people, but also Heartless.
"No problems, I get what you feel. Wanting to help your friends and protect them. But you got to use your head as well, play it smart and things will work out." Cid gave some suggestion.
"What if it's not enough?" Usopp asked and clarified, "While I get we're both from different worlds, the heartless aren't much a problem on our world as it's on other worlds. Back home we have marines, pirates and other devil fruit users that are sometimes too strong for us. When rescuing Robin from CP9, I had left them because of my own weakness and feeling useless in battle. But while disguising myself as Sogeking, I felt useless against those guys. Yet when Sanji told me 'I can do what you can't and you can do what I can't' I realize there was something I could do about this and not always be strong as those guys. But now with these heartless, I feel more powerless against them, while everyone is able to fight my battles, I understand that some point that won't be enough."
Hearing Usopp story and explanation about the heartless, Cid deep down knew of his own powerless against them. Sure he can fight as strong as everyone else, but alone he's pretty much the weaker member since he rather fight using his brains instead of brawns. However when Usopp is saying that allow others to fight your battles won't be enough, it made Cid think that maybe he would have to face enemies too strong for him and no one will be around to save him.
"Hopefully we don't have to think about it yet. Usually there are some worlds that have average heartless problems, we would have to exterminate the heartless boss so that the world remains safe. Outside of that if you lock the keyhole them heartless aren't much threatening as the average person trying to rob banks. But every now and then some would still linger on worlds or someone decides to command these monsters and try to destroy the world. For the most part we should be okay, cause quite frankly and I don't mean your buddy, once you get use to the routine things will be easy." Cid assures Usopp, even if it sounds like he's trying to convince himself.
"Cid bro is right." Both heard someone standing at the doorway seeing Franky there having listen to their conversation, "Even if these worlds are different, we get stronger everyday. Not by might or power, but by experience. Sure it will be rough, but at least your not doing it alone. There is times for strength in yourself, and time for strength in others." Franky said adding to their conversation.
"How long have you been there?" Franky asked.
"Long enough, right now Leon is taking charge of the stirring wheel along with Nami. There is suppose to be some shift in jobs, but I guess we're not used to having different roles." Franky admits, while the crew have done more then one job, even Luffy with his basic skills sailing alongside the crew, they never had to shift jobs for everything and everyone's own jobs.
"Well you pirates will get used to it someday. We only doing this since we have no idea what might happen or if the worlds would be too dangerous for this many people. If you do head count there is about 20 of us, including the fairies and Archimedes. All of us need to do our best to survive this trip, traveling from one world to another is not exactly easy. Merlin even says that since they went towards the Keyblade Graveyard by chance, we maybe here longer then imagine. But if we do it right maybe we return home in one year." Cid said estimating their chances of return.
"A YEAR!" Both Usopp and Franky exclaimed at how long this could take them.
"I know your not used to this sort of stuff, but trust me if we don't do this right there are possible worse things that could kill us." Cid warned, making Usopp gulp his own spit, while Franky understood that space travel wasn't just something you could brush off.
"I get it, it's like building a ship except has some tricky parts that needs to be perfect, if not built right you have problems along the way." Franky used as to what Cid is explaining.
"Close enough, now could you help me with our little project?" Cid asked.
"Sure, would love to see what those Heartless drop items would create." Franky said grinning.
"Would be more helpful if we had Moogle on board, could change the way we build weapons." Cid said.
"Well until we have them, we might as well experiment on our own." Franky said.
"We should just use the material we have from the world, until a moogle arrives we aren't touching that stuff." Cid told Franky, taking the hint the two went off as they would experiment with some weapons Cid hopes will boost their strength like before. Usopp would return with his own project, wanting to leave some surprise of his own for what he may face.
Sunny Go. - Aquarium Bar
As the Day past by or night since they are in space and time is almost non-existing. Nami had taken her shift as the Committee wanted to pitch in and help the crew in their daily chores. In fact they even appointed shifts for some to change so that everyone be familiar or at least ready for anything in case someone wasn't there. The Straw Hats seemed stubborn about their jobs they are given, but Luffy and Robin found it interesting or exciting in the captain's case. For now they haven't done too much changes, but the Committee soon learned while Luffy is more willing, he also is the worse at task. Realizing quickly that if Luffy is to be trusted with anything, they would have to somehow slowly and very painfully teach him how to operate on jobs without help. The answer they receive made more questions and concerns as they are told that his grandpa who is the marine hero, forced him to survive in the bottomless ravine, left alone in the jungle at night, and tied to a balloon flying towards the sky just so he could join the marines. They couldn't help but realize his entire life is all about fighting and surviving with sheer will is insane and impressive itself.
Now though without thought or worry Nami rested in the Aquarium Bar, but surprisingly joining her is Auron who is taking a seat some spaces away. He laid back and rest liking the quiet atmosphere compare to around the ship. The two would have this moment to themselves as they wanted to get away from this madness and stress they have been place. For the most part Auron is mostly the oldest beside Merlin that lives in Radiant Gardens. Yet while he does keep his stress level hidden, he can be exhausted by the everyday shenanigans. Now as joining this pirate crew and everyday committee routine, the two found themselves relatable when it comes to everyday stress, one with experience and another still in her late teens.
"You tired too?" Nami asked, knowing the answer.
"It's not as bad as you would think. If anything having more people just seems natural when traveling places. Must admit your friends are really a handful at times." Auron said having small chat with Nami.
"Well most of the boys are idiots, but I rather have this then anything. Although sometimes I feel like pulling my hair." Nami muttered the last part.
"Have patients, you never know what might happen. But know they are just enjoying themselves, all of us need it before facing something much worse." Auron advise Nami from his own experience.
"...You think something bad will happen soon?" Nami asked concerned for them.
"I don't know, but enjoy these times, they maybe your final time." Auron said with his wisdom of experience. Resting his head once more, Nami did the same but thought about what he meant. After she's done resting she would continue with drawing a new world map with Merlin's help. Now exploring the worlds, she wanted to draw maps of every world they venture or at least locations they have been until they arrive home. As for Auron he would wonder off doing some stuff and sometimes training very now and then with Zoro, Cloud, Leon and surprisingly Tifa since she is one of their strong female fighters. While the two rested they get surprise visit from Yuna, Rikka, and Paine sneaking into the Aquarium Bar.
"You think we should be hiding in here?" Yuna asked.
"Yepper, Luffy and the others may try to find us, but they can't with these two in here." Rikka explained.
"She's got a point." Paine agreed.
"Ok." Yuna then followed Rikka's lead the way towards Nami's resting for the time. But as the Gullwing hid themselves, Luffy barge in shouting, "HEY, IS ANYONE IN HERE?!" He recieved a punch from Nami, she rushed him from his blind side and knock the daylights kick out of the Aquarium Bar.
"GET OUT, SOME OF US ARE RESTIN!" She shouted with shark teeth, Luffy then got up and moved along searching for the others. Just as the Gullwing Girls were about to leave, they suddenly froze as Nami called out, "Hey!" They turn to face Nami as she glowed with dark aura staring them down, "I rather appreciate if you guys didn't bother me so much. We had enough balls of energy with Luffy, Usopp, but adding you guys in the mix can get frustrated at times. So when I'm here you girls should take your playtime away before you regert something okay." Nami said this with calm fury and smile towards them. They soon ran off flying away only for Luffy shouting, "Found you!" as Nami relax Auron look towards Nami as she sigh, "Okay I will apologize, but not now." She then went back resting on her head for the time being.
Sunny Go. - Kitchen/Dining Room
For the time being Sanji is washing some dishes, sometimes receiving help from Tifa and Aerith. Both can help cook and do some chores, Aerith is more accustom to doing these chores more so then Tifa. Sanji is now teaching Tifa how to cook these foods like Sanji does, at these times it's shocking he's not being perverted self. After a good meal both Tifa and Sanji are working on some dishes, keeping the place clean since they had feed at least 20 people.
"Thanks again for the help Tifa, it's actually nice to have someone help cook this many meals for everyone, especially Luffy." Things with Sanji seem to calm down with the girls on the ship, most of this is because of for Tifa having a boyfriends she wants to love and care for, Aerith nicely rejected Sanji leading to Zoro having the last laugh, and Yuffie showing annoyance at times Sanji. But every now and then he would flirt and be perverted side leading to some comedic if not hilarous moments where Tifa took the role as Nami's manager towards the boys.
"It's no problem, seems you have much on the table and not alot of people knowing how to cook or serve food." Tifa said, seeing Sanji always having to serve this many people must be rough, with at least half of the committee knows how to cook and other task at hand.
"Say Sanji, if you don't mind me asking, have you ever considered having a girlfriend at some point?" Tifa asked Sanji, this caused him to pause for a moment. In fact his brain had to restart in less then 10 seconds recounting all the times he had met girls and have been the way he behaves around people. Tifa smiled knowing what he's thinking, "I get it, you feel in love with the first women, but you started to like many others base on their appearance or certain applies. But you know if at some point you need to settle down with someone, you should consider seeing someone that you like the most." Even though Tifa gave some advise, Sanji is more surprise that this topic is brought up by someone.
Normally he wouldn't think of this and just continue with his daily routine. Yet this topic brought by Tifa really change somethings. In truth the Committee and pirate girls were discussing about Sanji and why he behaves this way. Sometimes they hang out without the boys around, but they do wonder why Sanji behaves this way even Nami and Robin have talk to one another yet found no answers.
"... I never thought of it before." Sanji admits being more serious then normal, for a pause he took some cigarette and smoke just to think or pause for himself, "Normally I fall for many women in my life even in these adventures with Nami and Robin on board. But I never really thought of anyone living the rest of my life with them. Right now I want to see the All Blue, a cook's dream to find around the grandline. Maybe after this adventure we might settle down once Luffy and others achieve their dreams." When Sanji explained himself, Tifa got the sense he's never had to show himself more serious with anyone before. Sure he can be harsh towards the guys, and sometime overprotective with the ladies, but deep down he does care for everyone. Just hard to show this side since he tends to hide under his perverted and at times chivalry personality towards people.
"Maybe you can think about after this is done, who knows maybe someone may like you as her boyfriend." Tifa said smiling, yet this is ruined when Sanji went perverted on Tifa, recieving a punch at his lips smack at the wall kitchen side, "Should have guessed he do that."
As Yuffie entered the Kitchen, taking a seat in the dining room. She asked for some fruit juice Sanji would make, Tifa served this as she learned from Sanji of many receipes and how to cook like 5 star resturant. At the same time Franky entered the kitchen and wanted some cola, he poke himself into the fridge and took one for himself. Yuffie seems tired for a moment so Franky walk over and check on her.
"You feeling alright sis?" Franky asked, seeing Yuffie being tired for the moment.
"Yeah, just had some tag with the guys." One of the strange dynamics that has formed is with Luffy, Chopper, Usopp are joined by Yuna, Rikka, Paine, Yuffie and sometimes Archimedes as they play certain fun and games on the ship. Normally for the pirates it's the trio of fun loving goof offs that play around the main deck. Yet now with more people they have been getting creative and those from the committee have given Luffy and Usopp some ideas of fun games they couldn't play by themselves. In fact these moments had Luffy used most of his energy as he now asked some of the girls to play with him including Archimedes who's more reluctant with their games.
"Oh yeah, you were it?" Franky knew the answer, but asked anyway as Yuffie sigh saying yes.
"Well you and the Gullwing girls have been willing join Luffy when he's active. I may not have been with them that much, but I can say Luffy can have much balls of energy." While Nami and others have warned her about this, Yuffie ignored them as she was bored like Luffy, so were the Yuna, Rikka, and Paine as they had nothing to do for the time being.
"How do you guys do it without going insane. I mean normally I would just venture off around town, but now I can't even do that. I just feel so tired and exhausted of this trip that I could jump off surfing in space. Of course that be ridiculous, so I'll find something to do." Yuffie said.
"Hey no worries, there have been some people that get stir crazy from sailing for far too long. Luffy mostly would get bored and wants to explore islands is what I hear from the others. But most of the time we tend to hang out either building, doing task, relaxing, play games, train or some other things you can do on this ship. If you feel bored you should try and do more then just goof off if your not feeling up to anything. If you want you and me can do something together if you need break from those guys." Franky offered.
"Really?" Yuffie asked unsure what he means.
"Well just now you said if you could surf in space, maybe we can work on something like that. Beside some of the stuff in lower deck we have the Shark Submerge, Mini-Merry and Shiro Mokuba I, the last one I added some modification. Who knows, maybe we could somehow install the Shiro Mokuba II for just you surfing in space." Franky suggest, this made Yuffie jump up looking at Franky with stars as eyes.
"You can do that?!" Yuffie said with excitement.
"Sure, I may not know about space, but with Cid, Merlin working together we could find someway to work it out." Franky then received a hug from Yuffie smiling and saying, "Thank you bro." At the words bro from Yuffie, Franky couldn't help but feel emotional as he started to cry and hug Yuffie back, while this made things awkward she hug him until he calm himself.
Sunny Go. - Main Deck/2 days later
After encountering another Heartless ships, the crew and committee work together to fight them off. Showing much progression now that the Straw Hats are more familiar with their enemies in space then just Marines and pirates back home. Yet in space things work differently even with magic involved. The heartless gummi ships came attacking but are unsuccessful attacking them.
"Man that was fun." Luffy shouted grinning.
"You guys really adapted quickly to space combat. Normally we would have weapons or something to attack these guys." Leon said.
"Maybe when we take some time off we could install some cannons on this ship, might give us a boost even if that's a slim chance." Cid suggested.
"We could work on that sometime, gives me the chance to invent something fun." Franky said wanting to join in. After their conflict with the heartless ended, the others went back to their normal routine that's become mostly new for the Straw Hats and Committee, both for different reasons and new sensation for this trip. In this time Luffy, Usopp, Chopper, Yuffie, Yuna, Rikka, and Paine would play games or new ideas for passing time. Leon watch Luffy as he's offically the captain of this pirate crew, feels much uncertain for his position and how he behaves in both normal routine and fights. However today he needs to have some serious talk with Luffy, as the days show increasing concerns for him as Captain and how their crew operates.
"Luffy." Leon called out gaining his attention.
"Can we talk for a moment." Leon asked, Luffy would normally act like himself either whine because he found something and is being distract or smile since he doesn't mind or is confused what they need. For this however something told Luffy this was nothing like before, in short he nods and walk with Leon wondering what's going on. Some that are on main deck saw this specifically Franky, Nami, Zoro, Cloud, Auron, Cid, Merlin, Archimedes, and the Gullwing girls watch as the two walk off towards the bad of the ship.
"Oh boy, that's not good." Archimedes muttered.
"I agree, this is quite serious." Merlin agrees.
"What is?" Nami asked.
"It's their own business as captains meeting privately." Zoro stated.
"He's right, while Leon is not captain, he's still leader of our group. I remember when others would have been taken back with him and he talk private with each other." Cloud said, remembering those times.
"Oh yeah, that was when all of us were together at certain points. Leon took his position seriously and made sure all of us work together or know what is happening." Cid also remembering those times.
"What they talk about?" Nami asked.
"Hard to say, but if I can guess it's mostly about your captains leading skills. Have to admit he's very naive for being captain, yet all of you still treat him as your leader. I wouldn't be surprise if what they are discussing is something about what they will face or Leon reminding of his position." Cid told Nami, he and others then walk off as they mind their own business.
Sunny Go. - Library
For most of this trip Robin and Archimedes come here for relaxation, while sometime going out to meet everyone including their temporarily members, they would chose here for alone time. Others have came here including Merlin and Auron for the time being. Now though with everything finally relaxing, the two can enjoy the quiet time for themselves. Between one who loves reading and history with someone that's a pet loving quiet moments in daytime, the two get along pretty well.
Right now though it's actually crowded today. It's mostly unusual for Robin, but it's for different reasons. For Both Chopper and Aerith, she is teaching Chopper about healing magic, while Chopper is turn teaches her how to heal others through science and medicine. This was something surprising as normally Chopper would hang with Robin on certain occasions. Today however is different as Chopper seems to get along with the Committee members.
"Ah your all here today." Merlin said surprise to see those he wants to meet.
Yawn "Couldn't whatever your doing wait for a moment." Archimedes said sleeping, he's actually resting on Robin's shoulder as he found himself comfortable at his new spot.
"Well it could wait, mostly we're practicing magic lessons for those interested. Chopper I believe wants to learn healing magic, Robin wants to learn the history or world, but mostly where the overall history of all worlds." Merlin said to Archimedes.
"I can learn more about the worlds as we travel, if anything the keyblade weilders seem interesting enough along with magic." Robin specifically told what she wants to learn.
"Aha, of course, of course. You don't meet many people that want to learn not magic, but history. Reminds me of the time I first met wart, or I should say Arthur" Merlin said the last part to himself.
"Who's Arthur?" Chopper asked.
"Someone very special to Merlin long time ago, in fact between all of us I think Merlin might be older then he says about himself." Aerith said.
"Yeah well, if he always traveled on his own, he go stir crazy. Why I would even say that if I wasn't around, he be teaching people to the point they place shoes on their heads." Archimedes is then glared by Merlin as he look at Archimedes.
"Remind me again why you intend to mock the worlds, most traveling wizard?" Merlin asked.
"Don't you mean powerful wizard?" Archimedes clarified his statement.
"I would have if I didn't meet the Sorcerer Supreme and Dr. Fate in my travels." Merlin said.
"You mention that you and other wizards, sorcerers have formed a group in your travels." Robin remembers him mentioning of others like him, but have formed a private organization away from prying eyes.
"Ah yes, me and Master Yen Sid are the traveling wizards or the blue wizards for short. The latter is the idea made from someone once naming each of us by color. Dr. Fate would be gold wizard and Sorcerer Supreme would be red Wizard. There are more like us, along with some extra help from those outside of magic, of course they lean towards Science, dimensions and other oddities outside the supernatural. Together we formed a small organization that decidated ourselves to saving worlds, fighting monsters, villains at every corner, even working together to fight the darkness along side the Keyblade Wielders." Chopper eye's sparkle at his tale, Robin even took interest wondering what she could learn from them.
"Ah rubbish, if you really are protectors of worlds, why does some worlds still filled with chaos?" Archimedes question.
"While I will admit, there are problems on certain worlds. I would even admit having universal peace is impossible. But what I do believe is one man or group shouldn't have the power of creating peace. If anything relying on those individuals or groups to save the world is not a very good solutions. Instead more problems are created because once they have pass from this life, others must stand in their place and the odds of them willingly will always be 50/50." Merlin answers.
"Just means that world peace can't be achieve so long as everyone is divided through violence." Robin said smiling.
"Well I wouldn't say it that way." Merlin sweat drop at Robin's words along with Archimedes and Aerith.
"She can be scary, but nice scary." Chopper encourage Robin.
"Well then, should we proceed with our studies." Aerith asked, soon they would learn either of magic, healing medicine, history or other topics that come up.
Day 14 - New World Ahead/3 days later
After much patients and traverse through space along with guidance from those experts in magic. They finally found their next destination and are ready for landing.
"Are all the worlds going to look the same?" Nami asked seeing that the world with apes appeared the same like this world.
"Not necessary, if you look from this distance you can see the continents are shape different." Leon pointed out, everyone soon saw what he meant, even Luffy somehow figure it out.
"Oh yeah, it does look weird." Luffy said.
"Some worlds can be notice or have certain characteristic from each other. If anything only those with magic can see the world's true form." Merlin explained.
"Shishishi, then let's go." Following Luffy's orders everyone brace themselves for the world below.
This one took much effort as the chapter is not your average fight or normal One Piece Shenanigans. If anything this had to balance itself with now final Fantasy Characters from both FF series and KH Series added into the mix. Moments like these you have to somehow balance the moments from comedy, to seriousness, to even when some ridiculous factors should play in these moments.
Overall with crossovers, you have to lean not on one side you like or know more, instead have to somehow balance this out. For both side of these series characters would get effected and change by the other's own series and normal life styles. Since Final Fantasy has either serious moments or sometimes lots of action because it's a video game, you will find that some of the Straw Hats will change, but not too much from their original.
