"Glurg glurg glurg."
"Luffy you can stop making drowning sounds now," Sora said to the man standing next to him. When he looked at the pirate on his right however, he jumped back in shock.
The pirate in the straw hat slowly realized that he could breath. Not only that, but his clothes weren't getting wet. Something feels weird, he lifted a hand and touched his neck, feeling a few slits on it and finding it hard to breath. "No way! I have gills!" he turned his head and pointed at Nami, opening his mouth to shout at her when the woman snapped to him with razor sharp teeth and evil eyes.
"Do not say a word," she growled at him. She didn't want to know what type of fish appendages she grew after taking one look at the others.
"What happened?" Usopp asked. They were standing on the edge of some city, and they were definitely underwater. He touched his own gills and then looked over his shoulder and saw a dorsal fin sticking out of his back.
"I used my magic," Donald said with a smug look. "Now we can breath underwater!"
"But seawater saps my strength," Luffy said and then moved around his arms easily.
Nami was testing the water too, "Odd, there's no water resistance," she tried jumping up in the air and she landed back on the ground just as fast as she normally would.
"Bikini Bottom," Goofy said and the others all turned to him, wondering what he was talking about. "Look, there's a sign," he pointed and was right, that was the name of the city they were entering.
"You guys think someone was sent to this world?" Usopp asked his friends. The others all looked at each other and shrugged. "Well, it's a big city, we should probably split up and look around."
"You do that," Donald said in an annoyed voice as he pushed away the muscular man. "Just stay away from the ship while I'm fixing it," the duck grumbled some incoherent words as he walked back towards the still-smoking rubble of their Gummy Ship.
"I'm in water," Luffy said in wonder and started looking around, "so this is what it's like at the bottom of the sea huh?"
Nami sweatdropped and Sora smiled at him, "Oh yeah, those Devil Fruits make it so you can't swim. This must be the first time you've gone in the water in a long time then."
"Nope," Usopp said with a frown on his face.
Nami also looked pissed, "This guy always seems to forget he can't swim until after he falls in the ocean. It's a wonder he hasn't drown yet."
"I want to go," Luffy whined as he tried to run off and Usopp held him back with one arm.
"Wait," he said and then looked back at the other four around him. "I guess we can only split into two groups. Two should go with Luffy, since he'll just be running around the whole time, and then there'll be another group of two."
"I want to go with Luffy," Sora said, also wanting to explore the underwater city.
Nami sighed, "You go with them too," she told the sharpshooter, "I'm sure you have a lot of catching up to do with Luffy." The man smiled and silently thanked her before running off with the other two down the street. The woman turned and the dog guy next to her met her face-to-face. "Uhh, so where should we look first Goofy?" She didn't really know the guy very well, but he seemed simple-minded and innocent from what she'd seen so far.
"Gawrsh why don't we try asking for directions?" he offered and the woman next to him smiled wide. A man who's not afraid to ask for directions, I like this guy.
"Where are we going?" Sora asked Usopp as they ran down the street after Luffy. Boats with wheels on the bottom were driving down paved paths in between buildings and had to swerve out of the way every time they saw Luffy running down the middle of the road.
"Sorry," Usopp shouted over to a crashed boat on the side of the road with a fish waving a fist at him. "I don't know," the man called back to the kid as they both jumped up in the air and allowed another boat to go racing beneath them.
"Our bad!" Sora called to a different crashed boat on the left side of the street. "But he seems to know where he's going."
Luffy had his eyes closed and his face stuck up in the air. There was a magnificent scent wafting into his nostrils and he had to follow it no matter where it leads. "Meat," he growled in a low voice and the other two behind him started laughing before realizing their stomachs were running on empty too and needed some refreshment.
He charged down the street only following his nose and before long they could see what looked like a restaurant up ahead. "The Krusty Krab," Sora said as they ran past the large sign straight for the front doors.
Luffy slammed the doors wide open and the place was pretty packed, "MEAT!" he yelled and then ran right up to the register where the squid behind it was staring at the human with wide eyes, wondering what he was doing here. Another two humans walked in behind him, despite the fact that they had fins and gills, it was pretty obvious they weren't fish.
"Welcome to the Krusty Krab, may I take your order?" Squidward asked.
"Sure, can we..." Sora started and then felt something behind him and he formed his Keyblade in his hand. The people sitting in the restaurant panicked and got up to leave, running for the door as black holes opened up all over the floor and creatures started pouring out of them.
Little blue Heartless monsters with yellow eyes popped out of the ground and crawled around like crabs on the floor, but with extra large claws. "Mr. Squidward! What's with the sound of me losing money?!" Mr. Krabs ran outside his office to see all his patrons running out the door as monsters infested the place.
"Don't worry Mr. Krabs," the others heard a voice coming from the kitchen shout out, and a yellow square figure jumped through the divider window. He was holding a spatula in one hand and had on the same white hat that Squidward was wearing.
The sponge stood next to Luffy and Sora who each pulled out Keyblades and the man in the white sash next to them who pulled out a huge sword. "Hi! I'm Spongebob," the sponge greeted.
"Hello, I'm Luffy," the pirate introduced himself.
Usopp shouted at them, "Greet later, fight now!" The four of them ran forward and each took on a couple of the monsters each.
Sora swung his Keyblade into one, then followed up with another slash across it before dashing forwards and impaling it with his blade. It got knocked back, but one combo wasn't enough to kill it. The one's in the last world were easier than this. He had to use another combo and then jumped in the air and came down with his Keyblade to finish it off and scatter little green health orbs and money balls. Before he could celebrate, he was hit on the side by one of the other two Heartless that were following him.
The gladiator from the Coliseum was faring much better than the spiky-haired child. He slashed across the four of his enemies and they all knocked back before leaping up and trying to get him from the air. He swiped again and this time they all blew apart into darkness. He looked around and saw the sponge guy doing some crazy backflips and karate moves, but he wasn't really hurting the monsters much so he ran over to help him.
Luffy threw his Keyblade at the closest Heartless and it slammed into the creature, shattering it on contact. The pirate tried punching the next one, but he pulled his fist back and they had enough time to charge at him and attack, scratching his open chest before he shot his arms forward in a bazooka and knocked back two of the three Heartless. The third one dodged to the right and then jumped at Luffy before scratching the pirate on his side and knocking him into a table that broke under him.
"You have to pay to fix that!" Mr. Krabs shouted from the sidelines with Squidward. They were both watching as these odd humans with gills were taking on the blue creatures.
The man turned to his boss, "Who are these guys?"
"I don't know, but they're wrecking me restaurant!" The man was fuming as he watched Sora miss an attack and smash right through a chair. The man with the large sword who ran over to Spongebob took on his attackers but knocked them back into the window facing the street that shattered on contact.
Sora saw the last Heartless in the building and he and Luffy made eye contact as they both went for it at the same time. The pirate recalled his Keyblade and held the white hilt in his hand as Sora held his yellow one and they both pulled back. The creature couldn't decide who to go for as it snapped its head one direction, and then the other. It couldn't choose by the time the two were on it and they both brought down their weapons at the same time, blowing the monster apart and leaving holes in the wooden floor because of how hard they smashed down.
"We did it!" Sora jumped in the air and fist-pumped after they were done.
Luffy nodded his head and then turned back towards the kitchen, "Now time for meat!" Mr. Krabs' eyes turned to money signs and if these fighters just worked up an appetite, he was willing to feed them... at a reasonable price of course. The boss shouted for his fry-cook to get to work and the sponge who fought with them stopped talking about himself to Usopp for a minute to run back to the kitchen.
"Funny guy," Usopp said with a laugh as he sat down on an undamaged chair at a table. Sora and Luffy each sat next to him.
Squidward asked them how much they wanted, and Luffy responded, "Just keep feeding me!"
"I wonder if their cook will be able to keep up with your appetite Luffy," Usopp wondered out loud and Spongebob heard him from the kitchen, his ears perking up behind the stove.
"Can I keep up you say?" Spongebob asked through the divider and the squid ran out of the way. He dove for cover, knocking a table sideways and peeked his head over it as the cook held up a second spatula and the three patrons of their restaurant went wide-eyed. "No sweat."
Luffy started drooling as the sponge guy started cooking at a lightning pace and a burger that he called a Krabby Patty flew out of the window and right into his open mouth. He took a bite, and it was the best tasting burger he ever had.
"Come right up! Test your strength in arm-wrestling for a small fee of ten dollars!" Nami learned about the money in this world pretty quick, and she wanted to go shopping in the underwater mall, so she was trying something else.
A large red lobster walked up and looked at the man he had to beat in arm wrestling before laughing. He sat across from the dog and held out a claw that Goofy grabbed with his hand. Nami smirked and yelled for them to start, only for the Disney creature to slam the lobster's claw through the table.
Nami's eyes went wide, even she didn't expect it to go this well. The man grabbed his claw with his other hand and then gave away ten dollars to the crazy woman and her pet. "I'm pretty sure we're taking... uh... taking adv... uh," Goofy couldn't come up with the word and the orange haired woman felt a little bad about using him like this so she smiled.
"Don't worry, that's all we need really," they saw a crowd of screaming people running down the street and the woman sighed. "I guess we should go check up on the boys."
"You think they're in that direction?" Goofy asked and pointed down the street where the fish came running from.
She sighed at him and put an arm around his shoulder, "You have a lot to learn my friend," she started explaining to him as they walked the other direction as the fleeing patrons from the Krusty Krab.
"Aww come on please," Luffy whined. The pirate had a bloated stomach and actually broke the chair he was sitting on a while ago and now was arguing with Spongebob. At first they hit it off great, but then the pirate asked for the recipe so he could give it to their cook and he could make the patties on their ship.
"The Krabby Patty formula is a secret," Spongebob said with tight lips. "I'd never reveal it, even if my life was at stake."
"Ok then," Luffy said and went back to patting his stomach and talking about how great the food was. The sponge was surprised he just gave up like that, but Usopp knew, and Sora remembered back on his island when he said he was willing to risk his life for the adventure. Luffy was very understanding when it came to that.
"Now," Mr. Krabs walked out and was rubbing his claws together with a wide smirk on his face. Before he could start taking all their money, the roof of the Krusty Krab was ripped off and pieces of wooden ceiling fell all over the place.
The glass windows were already broken along with some of the furniture, but with this, Mr. Krabs could see the dollar signs on the property damage and started to cry. Squidward threw his hat on the ground and ran away screaming as he saw the giant robot standing in front of the building. "Hey there Krabs," an annoying voice stated and the giant metal robot's one eye opened up and they could see a small figure that looked a lot like the robot, except green, standing there.
Usopp and Luffy were staring at the robot with starry eyes and shouting how cool it was, missing the direness of the situation completely. "Plankton!" Spongebob shouted and grabbed his trusty spatula.
"Seeing as the Krusty Krab was already partially destroyed, I figured it was a perfect time to test out a new invention." The little man laughed and the pirates started to realize that this was a bad guy.
"Damn you Plankton, you'll be paying for this you hear me!?" Krabs shouted up at him.
"With what money? All my life, my customers have been flocking to your door instead of mine! But with the Krabby Patty formula, I'll be..." Luffy's fist slammed into the front of the robot and knocked it backwards as it stumbled away. His eyes were hard and determined and Usopp stood up with his captain now.
"Don't touch the formula, it's his treasure," he pointed back at Spongebob who was surprised by the action but nodded and held up his spatula in defiance.
"So you wish to be destroyed? SO BE IT!" The giant eye contraption closed and even in his anger, Luffy couldn't help but mutter 'cooool' and then go on the attack again. Sora ran outside with Usopp and the two of them slashed at the skinny legs of the giant metal beast.
Plankton's robot's hands opened up and rockets flew out, exploding all over the front of the restaurant and blowing away the remains of the front of the building. Krabs was now backed up against the register, holding it with all his love and protecting his money. The metal monster lifted a foot and tried stepping on Sora, but the child rolled out of the way before flipping back to his feet and slashing it at the knees.
Spongebob was climbing up its front and he shoved his spatula into a crack of one of the metal plates, prying it off the form. He reached inside and started slicing up wires with his spatula.
"Huh? What's going on here?" Plankton shouted inside the cockpit. He looked out the clear eye of his monster replica and he saw Spongebob messing around inside him. "Karen, status report!"
A woman's voice sounded over the internal computer, "It's not looking good," her voice started to get low and droned out, "it's not looking, good, at all." She shut down and the robot toppled backwards as the gears all started smoking.
"No no no! I was so close this time!" Plankton slammed on the console and it only started smoking more.
Outside the robot, the others were all cheering and celebrating together. Nami and Goofy were walking down the street and saw the robot lying on the floor and their friends dancing around next to it. The woman sighed and was about to call out to them when a dark circle appeared behind the head of the monster. The others didn't see it because they were standing at its feet, but a man in a black cloak came out of the hole and stared at the monster in front of him.
Plankton groaned as the glass eye in front of him was ripped open and he stared above him at the figure in the black cloak. "What do you want? Come here to gloat... wait who are you?"
"If you wish to defeat them, then open your heart to the darkness," he stared down and the little man started nodding furiously and shouting that he wanted the power. The man didn't say another word, but he held out a hand and from the distance, Nami could see the man's hand cover in darkness. The darkness on his hand floated down and straight into the little creature in front of him, and then the cloaked man turned around.
As the cloaked figure turned, he saw Nami and Goofy staring at him from down the street a little, but his eyes stopped on Nami. The young woman with short orange hair stared at the man for a few seconds, before he turned away from her and sank back down into another circle of darkness on the floor. Zoro? She wondered and then had to snap her head away as the giant robot's right arm moved.
Luffy and Spongebob were dancing around together when Sora shouted for them to turn around. "Hahahahaha," Plankton's voice laughed but they all realized something was wrong with him. "So this is true power?" His voice was low and darkness started spewing from the open cockpit of the robot as it pulled itself back on its feet.
The metal giant stomped on the ground and pushed itself to full height for the others to see. The small man inside the cockpit was standing at the edge as visible darkness leaked out of all sides of the large circle where the glass was before. Plankton was laughing like crazy and his eye was yellow, followed by the entire open circle of the metal robot to glow yellow as darkness spewed out from the cracks on the sides and came out of its feet below.
"Plankton! What are you doing?" Krabs shouted up at his old friend. The tiny man had tried some crazy things before, but he looked seriously deranged a second ago.
"Plankton!" Spongebob shouted up, but the little being wasn't listening.
The robot's darkened foot lifted up faster than before and kicked forward, hitting the unsuspecting Usopp and sending him flying backwards through the wall of the main restaurant and into the kitchen where he knocked over the still burning stove. Spongebob yelled in anger and charged at the beast, now pulling out his second spatula to help.
As the sponge climbed, Sora pulled out his Keyblade and jumped in the air, slashing at the left fist of the robot that clenched and punched him out of the air before he could finish his combo. "Gum Gum Gattling Gun!" Luffy shouted and sent a rapid fire flurry of fists at his opponent. Every one of his attacks either bounced off without any damage, or barely hurt it at all before it looked down at him and the yellow in its eye burned brighter.
Luffy's eyes turned to stars even as he dodged and ran back into the Krusty Krab to avoid the huge explosion. Usopp lifted his head from the rubble in the kitchen and stared out with just as much happy shock. "L-Lazer Beam!" He and Luffy started practically drooling over the robot even as they ran back to fight it.
It looked like nothing could stop it, when Goofy jumped up from behind and slammed it with his shield. The monster stumbled forward and fell to a knee and Nami shouted, "It's weak from the back, hit it there!"
"Nami? When'd you get here?" Luffy asked with a tilt of his head.
"Who cares?!" she shouted back at him but the robot was already getting back up and they lost their chance to get a lot of hits on it.
The world travelers and their yellow friend spent the better part of thirty minutes fighting the metal robot until it was smoking and catching fire, but it still wouldn't go down. "There's no way something Plankton built could withstand all those attacks!" Mr. Krabs yelled, wondering how the tiny man had done this.
"It's a Heartless," Sora shouted as his Keyblade was doing a lot more damage this time than it was fighting the robot at first. Before Krabs could ask what that was, Goofy and Luffy each attacked a leg at the same time and they broke in half, causing the monster to fall flat on its stomach and face. It pushed its arms down to lifted up and pointed its eye back at the fighters who knew by now to dodge and leapt out of the way as one final beam shot at them and hit the pole holding up the Krusty Krab sign.
Luffy was covered in burns and scratches and he started using a gattling gun, yet none of his attacks hit the monster he was fighting. This was intentional. He kept swinging his arms until finally he stopped by throwing two fists out, "Gum Gum Cannon!" he shouted and both fists slammed into the side of the robot and knocked him over so the beast was lying on its back.
The yellow glow faded and the darkness started spewing out of the monster even more as Plankton pulled himself up. "No, I was supposed to win this time. Victory, should have..." he fell back on the metal plate and clutched his chest. The others took a step forward, but a blue light flashed out of his tiny chest and they watched as a full size heart with the curve at the top lifted out of him and up in the air before disappearing. As it vanished, the robot and Plankton alike started drifting down into a dark circle that appeared below them.
"Plankton!" Spongebob shouted and reached forward, but the little guy sank down into darkness and faded away.
It stayed silent there for a few seconds as they stared at the spot where Plankton no longer was. Suddenly the owner of the Krusty Krab spun around and ran for the part of his restaurant that didn't take much damage. The door to his office was ripped open, but Sora followed him inside with a few others as he ran straight to a safe in the back. "You're safe baby, he won't come to get you anymore." The man rubbed a claw on the metal safe and Nami started rubbing her hands together.
Sora saw a small light emit from the safe and Goofy and Luffy saw it as well. They watched as the kid lifted up his Keyblade and a bright thin light emitted from the end of the silver part and shot into the safe. "Looks like our work here is finished," Sora said with an aura of accomplishment around him.
"Yeah, we beat the Heartless boss and found the Keyhole," Goofy exclaimed as Mr. Krabs yelled at them for doing something to his safe.
"Donald is probably done fixing the ship, let's go," Sora suggested and the others agreed and followed him out the restaurant after saying goodbye to their new yellow friend.
"Wait a second, who's going to pay for all this?" Krabs yelled after the weird people. Nami turned around and tossed a ten dollar bill in the air. "That's not nearly enough!" The crab man yelled at her, but then he sprinted out and caught the money as it was floating down and held it close to his chest.
"Hey Usopp," Nami slowed down the strong man as they were all walking back. Luffy, Sora, and Goofy were all talking about the fight and how awesome it was, but she had other things on her mind. "I saw someone..." she started in a hesitant tone and Usopp looked at her funny, "in a black cloak. He appeared and did something to that guy that made him fill with darkness. When he looked my direction," she paused and took a deep breath, "it felt like he knew me."
"You think it was Zoro?" Usopp asked. The woman didn't say anything back to him, but that was all she needed to do. "Hmm," the sniper said and then cheered up and tried to do the same for the woman, "I have something for you." She cocked her head to the side wondering what he was talking about. "I figured you would need a weapon when I found you again, since yours was on the ship and all."
The man pulled out the three blue parts of Nami's clima-tact except they had big blue balls in the connecting pieces. Her eyes went wide and he handed it to her, "I made a lot of additions to it and it's not just a party favor anymore. Now it's a full blown weapon," he smiled and kept walking to catch up with the others, "it has a lot of new functions like..." he stopped as he was almost tackled by the hug Nami slammed him with.
Her eyes were watering and Usopp didn't know what he did meant so much to her but he accepted the hug anyway. She couldn't believe it. He spent three years away from us, but he still made me this. You could have forgotten all about us, but you didn't you big oaf. Not like some people... Zoro, why did you change so much? The man she was hugging had no idea what internal conflict she was having right now, but she was hugging him longer than just a friend would and he was starting to go red in the face. He cleared his throat and finally Nami let go and wiped her eyes.
"Come on guys, get in already!" Sora called out to the two pirates outside of the Gummy Ship. Donald was taking a nap inside since it didn't take very long for him to fix the ship.
The others were all feeling pretty tired too and when they got in, Usopp offered to drive and this time no one fought over the controls. The group lay down in the extra space in the cockpit courtesy of Cid, and they all went to bed.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Donald yelled at Sora who was messing around with some controls as Usopp headed down towards the world below.
"I'm just playing around, don't worry about it," he said back and kept pressing buttons.
"Stop that," Donald yelled and ran forwards, knocking into Usopp whose elbow slammed into the buttons up front that Donald just fixed. The duck turned to him and started yelling but Luffy backed up his crewmate and said that he was the one who caused it.
"Guys stop arguing!" Nami yelled at them, but now Sora and Luffy were arguing because the kid didn't want Luffy's help defending himself from the court magician, though Luffy said he was helping Usopp not him. The ship started spiraling out of control as everyone was yelling and Goofy flipped around the cockpit still in his sleep when he hit the latch that opens the glass.
Everyone stopped yelling for a second and Donald grabbed his friend so he wouldn't fly away. Luffy and Sora weren't buckled in though either, and as the glass lifted off, the two of them went flying out and down into the jungle below. They were shouting the whole time in panic, but a building appeared on top of a tree branch below them and the two boys crashed straight through the roof.
"Ughh," Sora groaned and pulled his head from the wood floor that he hit.
"You okay Sora?" Luffy asked as the rubber man pried his head from a wall.
"Oww, my head," the kid rubbed the back of his spiky hair and then looked over at Luffy. He looked up in the air and around the room, "Donald? Goofy?"
"They're probably still back on the ship," the pirate said as he got to his feet. He felt something behind him, and Sora felt it at the same time, spinning his head around. "Look out," Luffy warned the younger boy who gasped as a tiger speckled in black dots leapt down from the second floor of the wooden house they crashed into. It roared at him and stopped as Sora pulled out his Keyblade; the beast was smart and swiped with its claw into Sora's side and knocked him back into the wall.
Luffy ran forward to punch the cat away, but this wasn't like any animal he fought back on his home island. This one turned to him with such murderous intent that he was surprised it was actually an animal and not one of those Heartless monsters. It snapped its head towards Luffy and opened its mouth as the pirate punched forward. In his mind, Luffy watched as his fist flew towards the tiger and then it bit down on his arm and ripped his hand off. The pirate slammed his fist into the floor before he could finish his attack, "That was close, he would have bit me."
The tiger was angry that its trap was avoided, but it still pounced towards its prey and clawed down Luffy's chest who couldn't dodge backwards fast enough. It's too fast, he thought and tried leaping away as Sora ran forward with his Keyblade, slicing at the beast and making it back off a little. It circled before pouncing again and knocking the child back.
It started walking towards the hurt fourteen year old and it bared its white teeth. Suddenly someone jumped through a hole in the wooden wall and sprinted across the high beams above them in the room. Just as the jungle cat was about to pounce on his prey, the man wearing nothing but a cloth around his waist dropped down and held out his spear, snagging the wooden staff between the top and bottom jaw of the tiger's mouth.
The man pushed the beast back and then pointed the sharp end of the spear towards it, daring it to make another attack. The tiger sprinted towards the wall and jumped, smashing straight through the window and disappearing into the jungle.
Sora picked himself back up to his feet and Luffy walked over, putting a hand on his chest wounds and wondering if they would stop bleeding soon. The younger boy saw Luffy lift up a hand covered in blood and tossed him his last potion. It did its trick though, and the pirate felt his wounds go away instantly.
"Sabor, danger," the man warned. He looked at the two young men in front of him and had a blank expression on his face.
It didn't look like he spoke much English, so Luffy slouched down like he did and put his hands on the floor like a gorilla. "Me, Luffy."
Sora looked at the pirate funny and then back at the jungle man, "Um... thank you."
"Thank you," the guy responded, obviously not understanding. He looked back at Luffy, "Me, Tarzan."
"Well Tarzan, uh what is this place?" Sora asked.
"This place, this place," Tarzan couldn't understand the long sentences the young boy was using so Luffy held up a hand for Sora to stop.
The pirate grinned and went, "Oo oo, ah ah," Tarzan nodded at him in understanding and repeated a couple more monkey sounds. "Ee oo, oo ah ah," Luffy said and Tarzan chuckled. Sora sweatdropped and stared at the two of the in stunned silence for a few seconds.
"Hey Luffy," Sora said and the pirate turned to him with a blank monkey look, getting way too into the whole jungle man thing. "Ask if he knows where the others are?" Sora looked at the ape man, "Friends, do you know where my friends are? There's a bunch of them, there's a loud one named Don..." he stopped and Luffy and Tarzan both looked at him wondering what was wrong, "You know what? Never mind. I'm looking for my friends, Riku and Kairi."
"Look for Riku, friends?" Tarzan asked while Luffy got back up to standing straight up and stared harshly at the kid who tried ignoring him.
"Right," he said and then something caught his eye in the light on the other side of the room. He looked over there and Luffy followed his gaze to an area of the room where he could swear he saw a little girl with red hair. Tarzan said something to Sora, but he and Luffy were both staring at the image of Kairi as she walked across the room. Luffy felt like the girl wasn't really there, but he knew that whatever was making them see her probably wasn't a friend.
"Friends here," Tarzan told him and the others looked at him.
"Really?" Sora asked.
"Ee oo, oo oo ah," he muttered and the brown haired kid turned to Luffy who just shrugged this time. They listened as the man repeated himself, "Ee oo, oo oo ah! Friends here."
They were about to ask where, when they heard voices outside the building. "Danger," Tarzan said in a panic. After the man scared away that jungle cat, they were afraid of anything that could spook him. "Men, danger." He jumped up to a ceiling beam and then ran through the hole in the wall to disappear in the jungle.
The voices were closer now and Luffy and Sora backed away from the door right as it was thrown open and people started walking in. They were all wearing white and blue uniforms though the sleeves were ripped off and they had scratches all over them like they'd been in the jungle for days.
Luffy's eyes went wide, but the men's went wider at the sight of the person in front of him. "Monkey D. Luffy stop right there!"
"Who are these guys?" Sora asked and turned to Luffy, wondering why all these men in uniforms were after him.
"Kid get away from that pirate, he's a man with a hundred million bounty!" Sora was stunned and looked up at Luffy who's face was darkened by his hat and then the rubber man snapped his head up with a smile that went from ear to ear.
"A hundred million?! When did it go up?" he shouted in glee.
"He's in there Smoker-san!" Luffy's smiled disappeared and he started to shake, which made Sora fearful of whoever was about to walk in the room.
"MUGIWARA!" a voice boomed and a man with white hair smoking three cigars stepped into the room and glared at the pirate in the straw hat across the room from him.
Luffy smashed a hole in the wall next to him and Sora and then made eye contact with the kid, "RUN!" he shouted and sprinted towards the hole before jumping out into the forest below. He fell right off the tree and flew down through the air.
"He's nuts!" a marine shouted, "Does he know how high up we are?" The man saw the kid looking at the hole in the wall and then back at them.
"Hey brat, I don't know what you're thinking..." Smoker started and took a step forward. That was the wrong move and the kid turned to the hole and leapt out of the wooden building, falling down into the trees below. The marine captain sighed and his men were all staring at him with disappointed looks. "What?!" he yelled at them angrily.
They cowered and one brave marine spoke up, "It's because you're so scary that little children would rather dive hundreds of feet after pirates than stay with the marines. Why don't you try smiling next time?" The thought of a smile on Smoker's face made the man shut up instantly and the captain growled.
"Mugiwara is here," the man stated and turned around to walk for the exit, "we will capture him."
A/N Bikini Bottom, black cloak guy, Tarzan, and the marines! This chapter had a lot. Tell me what you think of Spongebob's story line and who you'd like to see appear in the upcoming worlds. Next time we'll get a Smoker flashback and the Deep Jungle. Hope they can all find their friends okay. Hope you enjoyed!
