"Luffy you can't be serious," Nami pleaded with the captain as they walked back towards the gummy ship the duck told her about earlier. "We already have a reindeer on the crew, we don't need a crew full of weird talking animals!" She turned to the tall dog on her right, "No offense."
"Uh, sure," Goofy said with a shrug.
"We can't join your crew anyway," Donald started, "Goofy is the King's Captain. And I'm the Royal Magician! We're on an important mission for the king!"
"Luffy," Sora started and the pirates and Disney creatures turned to him. The spiky-haired boy's head was tilted down, "My islands were destroyed, thrown into darkness. Your world might be too," Nami stared at the kid with wide-eyes. "Even if you find your whole crew, what then?"
"Then we go back," Luffy said like it was no big deal.
The others all stared at him wondering if he was serious before Nami bonked him on the head, "Were you even listening?"
"Remember what Leon said?" Sora asked and finally Luffy stopped to look at the younger teen. "We hold the weapons to put a stop to the darkness. You can say you don't want that responsibility, but it's up to us to save your world, my world, and every world out there. Right?"
The pirate in the straw hat stared at the kid for a few seconds and then turned back around and continued to walk. The others just sighed and followed after him, "Is he always like this?" Sora asked the woman walking next to him.
"You have no idea," Nami responded while putting a hand on her head to help her headache subside. Donald explained to the others that they received the Blizzard magic after beating that last boss. She didn't think anything could possibly surprise her now, and then she saw the ship. "That's the 'Gummy Ship?'" She questioned as the boys walked over and popped the glass top.
"Yep, jump in!" Sora shouted, "It's my turn to fly now."
"Hold on," Donald shouted and they all stopped before hopping in. "All of your friends can't come with us to other worlds. You two are the exceptions because you're Keyblade wielders."
Luffy turned towards the duck and frowned at him, "Nami's coming with us, and so are the rest of my friends... when we find them."
"The ship's not big enough," Donald exclaimed, trying to find a way out of it.
"We could go back to Traverse Town and have Cid make some upgrades for us," Goofy suggested. "He could even make the cockpit big enough to fit a few more seats."
"That's a great idea Goofy," Nami said to the dog-man who smiled and blushed at the praise. Donald just grumbled in his seat and got in the cramped Gummy Ship, followed by the others.
"At least that was a smoother flight than the first time," Sora said as they landed on the next world's border. Nami was still stunned by the trip, even if it was the second time around.
They made a quick stop to Traverse Town, but wanted to get back on the road as quick as possible, so the navigator didn't even have time to meet the friends Luffy mentioned during the ship ride. She did meet Cid, who greeted her very politely and asked her to watch out for Sora while they were gone. The man fixed up their Gummy Ship and they headed off again, this time in a different direction as Wonderland.
Now they were on the side of some type of large gateway and as they hopped out of their ship, the gates started opening up for them. Nami's eyes started glowing as she stared at the giant golden statues holding up swords above another door across a courtyard from them.
"You guys see anything around here?" Sora asked as they looked around the empty courtyard. The others shrugged and they started walking as a group towards the door to the building in front of them.
When they pushed their way inside, the creature in front of them didn't even surprise them anymore. It was small, reddish pink, had a fluffy tail and horns, and covered in hair, not to mention fat. Sora was the first to walk over to it and it was looking at a board on the wall so it didn't even see the kid. "Umm," the boy started.
"Good timing. Give me a hand, will ya?" The guy facing the wall waved a hand in the other direction and they all looked over to see a stone block up against the wall. "Move that pedestal over there for me. I gotta spruce this place up for the games."
Sora shrugged and walked over to the block, pushing on it with both hands but it didn't move at all. Luffy walked over to help him, and together they managed to slide it from its spot to where the man pointed.
"Nice job Herc, now for your next job," the hairy thing turned around and stared at the motly crew in front of him. "You're not him." He looked over at the stone block that they were still able to move and he scratched his chin, "What're you doing here? This is the world famous Coliseum, heroes only!" He started marching his way towards Donald who stumbled back away from the pudgy goat man. "And I got my hands full preparing for the games. So run along pipsqueaks."
Luffy stared at the little guy with horns for a few more seconds and then took a seat on top of the stone block he just moved. Sora wasn't satisfied either and stared at the man, awaiting a different response. The guy sighed, "Look, it's like this. Heroes are coming from all over to fight ferocious monsters right here in the Coliseum."
Nami groaned and didn't even want to look over at her captain who she knew was already practically drooling at the thought of fighting a bunch of monsters.
Donald Duck crossed his arms angrily, "You got heroes standing right in front of you."
"Yup. He's a real hero chosen by the Keyblade," Goofy said and put his hands on Sora's shoulders to reassure the kid.
"And we're heroes too," Donald added.
"Heroes? That runt!?" the man slapped his knee and started cracking up which pissed of the three of them even more than before.
"I'm not a hero," Luffy announced with a defiant look. "I don't want to be."
"What? Why wouldn't you want to be a hero?" Nami asked him in surprise.
"Don't get me wrong, I like heroes, I just don't want to be one." The others all looked at him still with confused looks. "Look, say there is a chunk of meat. Pirates will have a banquet and eat it. But heroes will share it with other people. I want all the meat!"
The others all stared at him wondering what he was talking about, but the pirate got up and made for the door. "It doesn't matter if you leave on your own. You can't enter anyway. Two words, you guys ain't heroes." Phil crossed his arms and turned away from the group again. After each one of them shot the man one more dirty look for the ride, they followed the captain out the door and back into the courtyard.
"But Luffy, don't you wanna fight the monsters?" Sora teased, knowing he could get the pirate to stay if he offered enough bait. The man in the straw hat slowed down a little as they walked down the steps from the door, but the kid wasn't the reason why. He felt something coming up from behind them.
"Rather a stubborn old goat, wouldn't you say?"
The group turned and Nami went a little pale in the face. God, when is all of this going to stop surprising me? Okay, that's it. After this, nothing else will shock me today.
"Who are you?" Donald asked the man with the blue fire coming out of his head. The figure had blue skin and a large black robe around him. His nails were long and his teeth were almost as sharp as his words.
"Hold on there fuzz boy, let me guess. You want to enter the games, right?" the man was laughing the whole time as he walked over to their small group of misfits. Nami stayed close to her captain who was frowning at this guy, not liking him one bit. The man walked right up to Sora and put a hand on his shoulder, "Well then, hey, get a load of this."
"A pass?" Sora asked. He'd been cautious of this weird figure at first, but now he wasn't so sure.
"It's all yours. Good luck kid. I'm pulling for you, little shorty," he mumbled as he turned and walked away.
"Who was that?" Goofy asked after they were sure the man was gone.
"I don't know," Nami started with a shiver, "but I didn't like the look of him."
"Anyway," Sora interrupted the serious conversation and held up the pass. "Let's go to the games!"
"Yeah!" Luffy, Donald, and Goofy all shouted and jumped up in the air.
"Luffy," Nami started in an annoyed tone, "my Clima-Tact was still on Merry." The captain looked at her and frowned, scratching his chin. "I won't be much help, so I'm going to sit out of this tournament."
"Alright," he conceded and they all walked up the steps again and went back inside the room with the goat man inside.
"A pass?! How'd you get that?" the hairy man asked and the others just smiled at him innocently. "Well I guess I have to let you in. Are you ready? Some big weirdos signed up this time."
"Yeah, we're ready!" Luffy said and grabbed his bicep, ready for action.
The four of them went out to the arena and Nami stood on the outside with the annoying little goat man who seemed pretty interested in watching their matches. The first three rounds went by pretty fast, each of their competitors consisting only of Heartless.
"Man, these rounds are tiring me out," Sora said as he panted trying to catch his breath after the fourth match. The four fighters were resting on the side next to Phil and Nami when all their attentions were brought behind them towards another figure.
A man wearing a long maroon cape and metal shoulder pads turned his head slightly towards their group as he walked past. His hair was blonde and Luffy whispered, "It's even spikier than yours Sora," the two of them started laughing, but the man walking past ignored them and turned back around, continuing to walk out to the arena where he had a preliminary match next.
"Something tells me that's going to be some tough competition," Phil said and then added, "now head back over to the waiting area. Can't have you spying on your competitions' fights before your match comes around."
They agreed and started walking back in the room. It wasn't long before they had to go back out and finish off another batch of Heartless. This time it was a dozen of the blue ones with ice powers, all surrounding one of the big fat ones. "Woohoo, we did it!" Sora cheered after they finished and the four of them jumped up and down.
Nami cheered them on from the sidelines but Phil wasn't calling them back. "Your next match begins right now," he called out to them and they all turned to see the blonde haired guy from before walking slowly out to the arena. "This is semifinal bout number one. Cloud versus The Disney Straw Hat Highwinds. Begin!" What's up with their stupid long name? Phil ran over to the side to avoid any collateral damage from the fight.
The kid named Cloud lifted up his hands and was holding a long sword covered in bandages like it had been wrapped for injuries. He was fast, and strong; he hit them with his sword in one long stroke than knocked them all back to the edges of the ring. Sora struggled to his feet and rose his Keyblade, "Fire!"
Cloud rose his sword to block the fireball, but at the same time, Goofy charged at him from behind and knocked him off balance with his shield. The four of them working together were able to fend off his attacks and help heal each other while their opponent had no way to do the same. At one point he tried healing himself, but Luffy punched him out of the way of the healing effects.
When the battle was finally over, the ones standing were the members of the really long-named team while Cloud was bent at the knee, panting hard. Phil and Nami started cheering from the sidelines as Sora and Luffy walked towards their opponent to shake his hand.
"It was a good fight," Luffy said as he walked over and the man with blonde spiky hair stood up. Cloud snapped his head around and the others saw it a second too late.
"How did that get there?!" Nami screamed. No more surprises! No more surprises!
A giant black dog towered above the entire arena. It slammed a foot down on top of Cloud and flattened him and his ridiculously long sword down to the ground. "RROOOARRR!" the middle of the three heads on the monster roared. Each of the heads had dozens of sharp canines and glowing red eyes. There was darkness seeping from their mouths and the fighters couldn't help but stumble backwards.
Luffy looked over and saw the blue guy with the fiery head walking away and frowned. I knew that guy was no good. "Come on Sora," Luffy shouted and the boy who was on the verge of running saw the rubber man hold out his hands and allowed the Keyblade to form in one, "let's beat this thing up."
"Sora watch out!" Nami shouted as she ran towards the arena. She didn't know what possessed her to do so, but she couldn't stand the sight of the three-headed dog diving down to take a bite out of the kid. "Whoa," she said, staring at the man in front of her with butterflies in her stomach.
The giant dog, Cerberus, was lifted back up before it could attack the brown haired kid in front of it. Everyone turned and saw a man standing underneath the monster with his arms held high to hold up the beast. The guy was wearing a bronze helmet with slits down the mouth area and a large indent near the midsection of the face. He had on a tunic and a white cape around his shoulder but wasn't wearing much other clothes besides that. He had a manly skirt that fell right below his waist and his muscular legs and arms were showing making Nami flutter a little at the sight.
She tried to focus and turned her head to where the teenager who was stepped on was lying, only to have her heart skip a beat again. Another man, as muscular, if not more than the tanner figure in the armor, was lifting up the giant paw on top of Cloud and tossed it to the side. He grabbed the boy and tossed him over his left shoulder.
"Herc!" Phil shouted as he saw the man pick up the unconscious teen. He turned over to the one holding up the three-headed dog. "Captain Lazerblades!"
Nami sweatdropped and stared over at the man in the armor who Phil was referring to. Captain Lazerblades? Sounds like a name Usopp would come up with. She tried not to laugh in the situation considering there was still a giant monster to deal with.
"I'll take the kid to safety Captain, you handle the dog!" Hercules shouted and ran off with the kid in tow.
The rubber man standing behind the guy in armor was staring at him in amazement. "Cool," he said and stared as the armored man pushed up hard and then jumped backwards as the dog fell.
In a masculine, low tone, the figure in the armor held up a hand and called out, "Fear not. Captain Lazerblades is here, and I will," the man turned his head a little so the slit of his visor was facing the people behind him. He froze mid-sentence and dropped the intentionally low voice he was using a second before to ask in a choked off voice, "L-Luffy?"
"Captain Lazerblades?" the pirate captain responded, still with stars in his eyes. He shook his head to get control of himself, "Wait, have we met before?"
The man in front of him was tan, had large bulking muscles on his arms and legs, and was wearing awesome armor. "I'd remember if I met someone like you."
"You haven't aged a day," the man continued, holding out a hand and touching the rubber man just to make sure if he was real. The others didn't understand what was going on, but they could all see the water start coming out of the visor in the man's helmet.
"Look out," Sora shouted and ran forward with the others. Luffy looked at the man one more time and then ran fast to start fighting the giant Cerberus with his friends.
"I didn't know Cerberus really existed," Luffy said with an excited childish voice. He dodged one of the snapping heads and punched one of the others with a fist clenching his black Keyblade. After the fist connected, he twisted his rubbery wrist and struck the far left face with his blade, dragging it across and pulling out darkness as he did.
Donald and Goofy did a combo move together and knocked out one of the four legs of the giant dog, bringing it to its knees. While it was down, it lifted up its heads and shot out dozens of black balls that started shooting around the sky and locking on to other fighters and heading for them. Each of the balls hit their targets despite the fighters dodging and rolling, or doing both, to try and move out of the way.
A high-pitched shriek made everyone turn their heads over to the stands where Nami was backed into a corner and five of the dark balls were headed straight towards her.
"Nami!" Luffy shouted and started running over, but he was never going to reach her in time.
The balls all hit and a cloud of darkness surrounded Nami in a large explosion. The four others running after her stared at the black shroud as it started to disperse, and their eyes grew large as they saw another silhouette in the smoke.
Nami lifted her head in fear. A moment before she thought she was dead, but now there was someone in front of her. He had smoke coming out of his body from where the dark balls slammed into him and as she tried to see him, she heard a loud clank and looked down to see a damaged helmet fell to the ground. Captain Lazerblades, she started lifting her head back up to the man who just jumped in front of the explosions to save her.
"Proud Captain Lazerblades..." the man started before coughing on some smoke.
Nami's eyes went wide, her mouth dropping several inches. She didn't even think about how shocked she was at this moment, it didn't even matter to her. I've heard those words before!
"Shall never be defeated!"
Nami's mind went back to the Children's Island. There were Heartless everywhere. They didn't find Sanji, and were trying to get back to the shore and find Luffy as soon as possible. There were enemies on all sides, but he told them to go, that he would hold off the enemies so they could escape. As she looked back down at him, as darkness covered his body and he was taken away, he shouted one last thing. "P-P-Proud Captain Usopp. Shall never be defeated. We'll meet again!"
The woman finished looking up and Luffy stopped running towards them and just stood still in shock as well. "U-Usopp?" Nami stuttered out.
The man in front of her had large muscles on almost every portion of his body. His face was more defined, and he had facial hair growing on his chin. He looked back down at the orange haired woman and smiled softly at her, "You both look the same," he muttered quietly and then turned back towards the giant dog.
"Usopp!" Luffy shouted and now Sora turned around again from the giant monster that kept attacking them while they were distracted.
That's Usopp? But the guy I met on the island was scrawny, he couldn't beat Tidus or Wakka in a straight up fist fight, now... the kid stared at the fighter who reached behind his back and pulled out a long double-edged broadsword to hold in both hands.
Captain Lazerblades, otherwise known as Usopp, glared at his enemy, "Hey Luffy, been a long time." He charged past the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates in a blur and jumped up in the air, smashing his sword into the center head of the Cerberus and slamming it straight into the ground.
A/N Woohoo for awesome Usopp! Did I surprise some of you there? He's ripped and ready for action, but why? I'm sure it'll be explained in the much longer next chapter. Sorry for the short update but I felt that was a cool place to end the chapter so I just started the next one up there. I hope you all enjoyed it and thanks for reading. I still haven't really gotten any ideas for Tarzan, but I've got a few so I'll work off that. Next time we finish Hercules world and get back on the journey.

You ruined by giving luffy a keyblade he already has own powers
He'll still use his normal powers. But just like how Sora couldn't hit them with his wooden sword, it's hard to fight Heartless without a Keyblade. As the enemies get stronger his normal attacks will stop working at all... but he won't stop training his rubber powers, he'll have to improve them a Gear up if you catch my overly noticable hint.

The money from the heartless is just a game mechanic they don't really drop money not any of the cut scenes
There's also no health dropping in the cut scenes or fighting in the cutscenes really, but they still happen. The game mechanics work so that money still exists in the world and they can buy weapons, health, and other necessities with it.
Matt
Chopper should appear in Lion King world and Robin in Nightmare Before Christmas world.
Just wanna say that my name is Matt too so I'm loving the name bro. Also, I've got an idea for Chopper already, but that's a great idea for where to put Robin. I hadn't really thought about the Nightmare Before Christmas world a lot. If you remember, Chopper was hanging by a rope of the Merry... and I have a good world in mind for where she's gonna show up. I'm sure if you think about them you'll figure it out real quick. Anyway thanks to everyone who reviewed and I'll try to get up another update soon. See ya!
