Flashback

"We've received word that the Straw Hats are straying off course from their next destination," Captain Smoker reported into the Den Den Mushi on his desk. His superiors had given up on trying to get him back to HQ for a promotion and just allowed him to chase after Mugiwara Luffy.

"Are you on their trail?" a man's voice came back over the line.

Smoker puffed out some smoke from his cigar and looked out the window. Straw Hat, I will find you. "Yes sir, we..." he stopped mid-sentence as the sight out the window made him freeze.

Over the line the marine officer holding the snail in front of a few of his superiors asked, "What is it? What's wrong Smoker?"

"Yo, Smoker," the gray haired man heard his teacher, Aokigi's voice come over the line. "You still there?"

The captain picked up the snail phone and walked over to the door to his cabin, throwing it open just as a Corporal was about to knock. The man looked up at the captain with panicking eyes and shouted, "There's a storm up ahead. It's like nothing I've ever seen before!"

Hearing those words from a navigator on the Grand Line was enough to perk the interests of the big shots on the other side of the line. Smoker was staring ahead at the giant black cloud in the night sky, it looked menacing and, evil. The darkness wasn't just from the color of the cloud, it was the sensation he felt in his bones. Purple and black colors swirled in the sky and lightning bolts shot all around.

"Smoker-san!" Tashigi shouted and ran over to her leader. The black haired woman with the sword at her side looked scared, but more composed than the majority of the men who were running around in a panic.

"Captain Smoker, what's going on over there?" the marine he was giving the report to earlier shouted.

"Tashigi," Smoker said to the woman, "that's the direction Mugiwara was last seen going was it not?" She gulped and then nodded at him with a set face. The Corporal in front of the Captain went wide eyed, but he wasn't gong to go against his superior's orders. "I'm heading in there," Smoker said into the Den Den Mushi.

He looked up in the sky and the dark clouds moved to the side as a huge black ball formed with a purple outline and a burning red core. Kuzan's voice came over the snail phone, "What are you doing Smoker? If your men are at risk, pull back," it wasn't often that the Admiral told him to do something, he usually just trusted Smoker's instincts. However, the weird feeling he had all the way in Marineford made him on edge.

"I'm capturing Mugiwara no matter..." Smoker stopped the rant he was about to go on and the cigars fell out of his mouth. "Holy..." the Captain dropped the snail phone as the men on his ship stopped just running around and started screaming in horror.

Far in front of them, a giant black monster was ripped into the black hole in the middle of the sky. The marines had no idea what it was, but what they did know was that the water was coming to an end. "Turn back!" Tashigi shouted at her men while they all ran to the ropes and tried everything to get the ship to turn around.

"It's not that we're heading towards it!" a marine looking over the side of the ship yelled with tears in his eyes. He spun his head back and looked on the verge of insanity, "The water is falling!"

Smoker used his powers to fly up to the bow of his ship and stared down in disbelief as the ocean itself collapsed down into an endless black hole filled with stars and huge chunks of land. Their boat dropped off the ledge as the water beneath them fell, and they dropped through open space.

"Smoker! Smoker answer!" the Den Den Mushi suddenly cut off and there was no more transmission coming from it as all the marines stayed absolutely silent. The shock of falling through this black void was too much for them, and then slowly the ship stopped moving.

Everyone looked around for a few seconds, and then the ship started lifting back into the air. They all looked up and their faces turned blue as the giant black hole was spewing more lightning than before and crackling with darkness that all came from the red core in the middle of the black ball. The screaming started back up and marines held on to each other as they felt their lives were at an end.

"Smoker-San!" Tashigi shouted and reached a hand out towards the Captain. Smoker was snapped out of his awe and turned his head just in time to see the woman get thrown off the side of the ship where she was taken by a force of gravity and torn up into the darkness.

"Tashigi!" he yelled. "Grab onto something!" he ordered the rest of his men who tried grabbing on to ropes and planks for dear life. The Captain didn't see anyone else disappear, but really that was the last thing he remembered before waking up.

His warship was pointed straight up and he was lying back against the wall of the cabin. There were other marines around him rubbing their heads and getting back to their feet, but all he heard was the constant chirping of some jungle bird. Jungle... he lifted up to his knees and looked around in a daze. All he could see for miles around him was the deep thicket of a rainforest.

"Status report," he growled out and the marines around him tried to regain their obedience and lined up in a semi-organized fashion. "Tashigi, what are our losses? Tashigi!" he shouted out.

The navigator Corporal named Steven stepped forward, "She's not here Captain."

The white haired man growled and looked around in the forest around him. "TASHIGI!"

End Flashback

"Gawrsh, where are we hyuck?" Goofy sat up on the rock he and Donald were sitting on. There wasn't anyone around them as far as they could see and the jungle grass was too thick for them too see through it.

The duck next to him in all blue was lying angrilly on the rock with his eyes closed. He was pissed that they were ejected from the ship prematurely all because of... "I sure hope Sora's okay," Goofy continued. The pirates were strong and could watch out for each other, but the young kid he was most worried about.

"Aw who needs him?" the duck exclaimed and sat up angrily. "We can find the king without him. Huh?" Donald saw something near his feet and looked off the rock coming face to face with a kid gorilla. "WAWAWAWA!" he yelled and the gorilla screamed back at him before charging off into the jungle.

"Who..." Donald started as he saw someone coming through the jungle. That person was flanked on both sides by a large group of men wearing white uniforms and hats on their heads. They all looked pretty official but like they'd been camping for a while and their clothes were pretty dirty and torn. The man leading them had a yellow button down shirt and was more muscular than the average man.

Goofy stared at the man's mustache, and then his eyes were drawn to the double barrel shotgun in the hunter's hands. Gulp. The lump in his throat lifted up and went down as the man looked at them.

"Whahooo!" Sora shouted as he slid down the slippery tree trunk. When he fell from the treetop house, he was pretty scared that he was going to fall all the way down the forest, but he saw Luffy sliding around on a tree branch and tried landing on one himself. After than he started skidding all around the forest while having to duck and jump to dodge the occasional obstacle.

He didn't see Tarzan anymore, but Luffy still had the jungle man in his sights and tried following him down the tree branch as they slid. "Come on Sora, we've gotta get away!" Smoker is here?! How? Luffy didn't like thinking about it, but he didn't plan on meeting up with the marines on his travels to different worlds.

"Who were those guys?" Sora called to Luffy as he started to catch up and got Tarzan in his sights as well. "Why were they chasing you?"

"Oh yeah, no one ever showed up at your island before," Luffy remembered the kid said back on Destiny Islands, and he explained how marines chase pirates and pirates have to avoid them or risk getting caught and sent to jail, or worse.

"Executed? Why? You haven't done anything wrong," Sora complained.

"It's just how it is," Luffy said, never really thinking about it before. "Most pirates are bad guys," images of Arlong and Crocodile shot through Luffy's mind and he growled as he ducked beneath a low tree branch, still sliding down the wide one he was on. Then Coby went into his mind and he smiled, "So marines try to capture them. But they won't catch me," he said with certainty.

Sora nodded and then watched with wide-eyes as Tarzan leapt up in the air and dropped down out of the canopy. The long tree branch they were sliding on was about to end and Luffy jumped after Tarzan. "Not much I can do," the kid grumbled before sliding off the end of the tree branch and falling down too.

Luckily there were a lot of large leaves that slowed their fall until a ten foot drop to the ground which was nothing to the skilled fighters. Unfortunately, when they hit the ground they were ambushed by Heartless appearing all over the place. The two of them fought while Tarzan attacked one of them with his spear. He was pretty good with it and beat up the monkey Heartless with yellow eyes until it exploded.

The pirate and his younger friend were able to defeat the rest of the monkey Heartless and even the red monkey who was much stronger than the others. They all had the dark area around their eyes and attacked with the power of darkness behind them. "Come on," Sora said as Tarzan started running off through a clearing.

"Are you sure we should be following him?" Luffy wondered. "I mean, he could lead us to the marines," the rubber man wasn't looking to get in a fight with Smoker right now when his friends were missing all over the worlds.

"What's the worst that could happen? See," Sora pointed as they ran into a campsite. It didn't look like there were any marines here, and the whole place looked deserted except for the Heartless that appeared. They came out of the ground right after Tarzan ran into a tent and now they were blocking that entrance to the Keybearers. "No one here but them, I got this," he said and held up a hand.

Luffy watched with a grin as Sora ran forward and punched and kicked away all the Heartless around him. One sped forward and slashed at the kid, but he held up his Keyblade and parried the attack, knocking the monster back. The pirate frowned, he's getting faster, a lot faster, but so are the Heartless. Hmm, he looked down at his hand, trying to think and he knew he was getting somewhere, but then his thoughts were interrupted.

"All done!" Sora called back to Luffy. He wiped his hands across each other and then stepped into the tent with the pirate right behind him.

A beautiful young woman with brown hair stepped away from a map and smiled at them. "Oh hello there, my name's Jane."

"Hi, uh, I'm Sora and this is Luffy," the spiky haired boy introduced himself.

"Oh you speak English!" Jane exclaimed, "Then you can't be friends of Tarzan. Who are you?" She still had that wonderful smile on her face that reminded Luffy of Makino and Sora of his mother. "Are you here to study the gorillas?"

"Well," Sora didn't really know how to explain himself, but Luffy did.

"I'm a pirate!" he said with a proud pat on his chest.

"Oh my," Jane stumbled backwards and grabbed the side of her dress, ready to run if she needed to.

Sora waved his hands out in front of him, "He's not a bad pirate though. Luffy's a good guy," he said and the woman sighed.

"That's a relief," she said and wiped some sweat off her brow. "For a minute there I thought you were here to steal our research on the gorillas." She chuckled and then they heard the front of the tent rustling again.

A man in a yellow shirt walked into the room with Donald and Goofy walking sadly behind him. Their eyes lit up when they saw the boys in front of them. "Sora! Luffy!" Goofy shouted.

Donald ran up to Sora and the two locked hands with excited smiles on their faces. Suddenly both of them remembered the fight back on the ship and they hmphed before turning the opposite direction of each other.

Luffy walked up behind them and bonked both of them on top of the heads with his fists. "Oi! Why'd you do that?" Donald yelled at him and Sora was glaring at him too.

"Felt like it," the pirate in the straw hat stated. They were having a stupid argument and he didn't feel like listening to it while the few members of his crew that he found were missing again.

"Who are you?" the man in the yellow shirt asked the people in front of him.

"That's him!" a man shouted from behind the hunter with the double barreled shotgun. "He's the pirate we're after!" Luffy snapped his head to the door of the tent and saw Marines charging into the room.

"Straw Hat Luffy," one of the marines surrounding the pirate started, "come with us quietly or we'll have to use force." The men were completely ignoring the child, duck, and weird dog thing that were in the room with the woman. She looked taken aback that the smiling person in front of her was under arrest.

"What do we do?" Goofy whispered.

"We're not supposed to be meddling," Donald responded.

"But they're not from this world either," Sora said back to him and all the men listening to this conversation looked at each other and started to get nervous. What did he mean by, 'this world?'

"I'm not going anywhere with..." Luffy's sentence was cut short by the sound of a gunshot. Everyone turned and stared at Clayton, the hunter, who had his gun pointed right at the pirate.

"Well then," the man smirked and turned to the closest soldier to him, "I heard there was a bounty on his head."

"There is," Luffy responded and the man and woman in the tent both looked shocked. The pirate grinned and lifted his head, showing them he was completely fine and the bullet only stretched his back out and then he snapped forward, making the bullet hit the floor right next to Clayton's feet. "But you're not getting it," the pirate lifted an arm and threw a fist forward, "Gum Gum Pistol!"

All the Marines were ready for him to stretch, but he stunned the woman researching the gorillas and the hunter who was punched out of the tent. "Hey Sora," Luffy said with a smirk and pointed at half the guys in the tent, "think you could take these guys?"

"No sweat," the boy replied and lifted his hands. His yellow Keyblade hilt formed in his hands and the men staring at him went wide-eyed at the sorcery. "Hi-ya!" He jumped forward and smashed the closest Marine's weapon away from his hand and then spun and knocked the guy's legs out from under him.

"What are you doing? We're the Marines! He's a pirate," the chubby man leading the Marine group shouted. "Associating with him makes you a pirate too."

"Cool!" Sora shouted and blocked a swipe from the closest Marine. He parried the strong soldier's attack and the man stumbled backwards in surprise of the kid's strength.

"Enough!" A voice boomed from the door of the tent and Luffy and Sora both gulped. Captain Smoker walked in the room and everyone froze what they were doing.

"Crap," Luffy muttered and the Disney Castle creatures stared at the pirate nervously.

"Wh-Who's that?" Goofy asked, raising his shield a little.

"Bad news," Sora replied and rose his Keyblade.

Smoker looked back and forth between the kid, the animals, and the pirate. "What are you doing with him?" Smoker asked. The white haired man had two cigars in his mouth and his arms started to turn into smoke, "Do you wish to be branded enemies of the World Government as well?"

"What World Government?" Jane suddenly cut in. The woman was staring confused at the uniformed men all around her. "I believe I have to ask you to leave this campsite. We are peaceful researchers of the gorilla's in this jungle."

What World Government? Smoker turned to the woman to see if she was messing with him and Sora decided to take this moment to talk to the guy. The boy walked forward, because he wasn't allowed to let Jane hear about other worlds, and he started whispering, "We're not in our world anymore. I don't really know about the rules and laws there, but they don't apply here."

"Justice applies everywhere," Smoker responded to the strange kid and he rose his jutte, turning his body completely into smoke.

Luffy suddenly had a great idea as he thought back to Alabasta and when he saw his brother. Ace fought Smoker and gave them enough time to escape, which meant. "Hey Smoky, watch this," the Captain was already mad and now he rushed forward at the pirate taunting him. His eyes went wide as a long black and red blade that had a key on the end of it appeared in Luffy's hands, but even more so when the pirate held it out in front of him and shouted, "Fire!"

A fireball flew out and slammed into the cloud of smoke in front of him. Smoker felt hot and tried pushing through it but another fireball hit him from behind and he turned his head around to see the kid shooting another ball of fire at him.

"My research!" Jane shouted and the two stopped firing and turned to her.

"Sorry!" They shouted and Luffy and Sora ran over to the small pile of papers that caught fire and started blowing on them and trying to put them out. While they were bent down and trying to put out the flames, two Marines held up swords over them.

"WAWAWA!" Donald didn't want to get involved, but these guys had the Keyblades and King Mickey said they were supposed to follow them. He lifted his magic wand and two blasts of lightning came out of the sky and slammed into the men in front of him.

Another Marine was raising his gun, but Goofy jumped in front and lifted his shield. "Let's get out of here!" He shouted, hearing the loud clank on his weapon when the man fired and the bullet hit hard steel.

"Sorry Jane," Sora called back to the woman who was watching this all in piqued interest.

"It's quite alright," she waved out to them as they ran away. "Thank you for saving the research!"

The boys ran through the campsite and dodged the Heartless everywhere, making it out of there and into the jungle.

"Follow them!" Smoker yelled, aggravated he was held up for so long. Since when can Mugiwara create fire? What was that child talking about other worlds?

The group of men ran outside as another man was running towards them. "Sir," the man reported and his clothes were all torn up. He had blood on his uniform and scratches up and down his arms. "We need you back at the ship, we're under attack!"

"Is it Straw Hat's crew?" Corporal Steven asked from behind the Captain.

"No," the scared Private responded. "It's something I've never seen before, they're everywhere..." the man's eyes bugged out and he stumbled backwards where a strange red monkey was jumping up and down. It jumped up and clawed him in the back while the other Marines could only stare at the thing with eyes full of darkness. The man reporting to his officer fell to his knees and stared up at the sky with an open jaw as his chest lit up.

"What the-" Smoker's cigars fell out of his mouth as a red heart emerged from the man's chest. It was curved at the top like an actual heart shape and it floated into the air where it disappeared in a black ball with a purple center. The darkness bubbled for a few seconds and then another monkey jumped out of the ball, this one black, but it had the same dark eyes and started dancing with the first.

"Did he just, turn into that thing?" one of the men asked in a scared voice. Before they could think about it, five more of those black monkeys formed out of circles on the ground and started attacking them.

A shotgun blast sounded from behind them and Smoker turned to see the hunter who agreed to help them when they saw him earlier in the woods. The man blasted the closest monkey and it exploded into darkness, "Do you think you can track them?" Smoker asked the man.

Clayton was staring at the Heartless, interested in where they got their power, but he turned his head to the Captain with the strange power and nodded. He had a nasty snarl on his face and there was a huge red welt from where Luffy hit him. "Easily," the man replied.

"Steven," Smoker said and the chubby Corporal turned to their commanding officer. "Take control of things at the ship and bring the men back here to set up camp. I'm going after Straw Hat."

"Yes sir," the man said and then started charging through the aggressive monkeys on this island with his men following behind him.

Smoker turned to Clayton and nodded, "Let's go."

"Donald no!" Sora shouted and jumped in front of the duck wearing all blue. "That's Tarzan, he helped us escape from a tiger earlier."

The magician lowered his wand hesitantly as he stared at the jungle man holding the sharp spear in front of them. Donald hmphed and looked away from Sora who did the same, neither wanting to talk to each other at the moment.

"Hey," Luffy walked towards the shirtless man, and Tarzan tilted his head a little. "Have you see my nakama. Usopp and Nami?"

"What about my friends, Riku and Kairi?" Sora turned from Donald and looked over at Tarzan who seemed to recognize those names.

"Riku," Tarzan said slowly, "find Riku. Friends?"

"Yeah that's right!" Sora shouted and jumped for joy. Luffy was pretty excited they were going to find the other kid too and everywhere they went they seemed to find more of their friends. "Can you take us to Riku?"

Tarzan looked like he was deep in though for a few seconds, deciding whether or not he could trust these people. Finally he nodded and said, "Tarzan speak to Kerchak."

The jungle man ran off and the others started chasing after him. "Who's Kerchak?" Sora asked the others who just shrugged, not really understanding much of what the man says.

They ran through the jungle and fought off weird creatures all over the place before getting to a river. There were hippos all over the place and they watched as Tarzan jumped on their backs to get from one to the next. Luffy thought it was fun and started jumping after him.

"Can't you just grab the vines over there and pull yourself over?" Sora asked the rubber man who was laughing as he jumped on each of the animals' backs.

"Yeah," Luffy answered. He turned around with his eyes closed and a grin across his face, "but this is more fun."

Sora smiled back at him, but the next hippo Luffy was about to step on decided it wanted to go under and dropped under the surface. The pirate didn't know what went wrong since he wasn't looking where he was going and fell into the water. "Hahaha!" Sora laughed and pointed at the spot where Luffy splashed in. He was going to make fun of the man for falling into the water, but then it hit him.

"Why isn't he coming up?" Goofy asked.

"Crap I forgot!" Sora dove into the water after his hippo and swam down. The lake was deeper than it looked and he swam past the animals until he reached the man who was swinging his arms around and flailing wildly. Sorry Luffy, the boy thought as he started swimming back up to the surface with his friend in tow.

Both of them got above water and started gasping for breath. "Thanks," Luffy finally mentioned after getting the water out of his lungs. He stood back up and jumped to the next hippo before reaching up and grabbing the vine they saw Tarzan climb up earlier.

"You're welcome," Sora muttered with drenched clothes. He heard laughing behind him and turned around fast, glaring at the duck who had his hands clasping his bill shut. It was obvious from the laughter who it was, but Donald still tried to hide it.

"AAAaaaAAAaaaAAA!"

Luffy, Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Tarzan turned their heads to the right. They just climbed up a tall green vine and were high in the tree canopies when they heard the shout. "What the-" Sora began and his eyes opened wide as he saw what, or who, was coming right towards them.

The muscular man swinging from the vine got to the top of his arc and released, grabbing the next one with the same arm. It would be easier swinging with one arm to the next, but his left arm was currently occupied holding the passenger close to him.

Nami's cheeks were bright red and she tried hard to hold in her screams every time they flew from one vine to the next with nothing holding them up. The orange haired girl quickly became hot in the dense, humid jungle, so she was only wearing a bikini while Usopp held her against his bare, sweaty chest.

How could I have agreed to this? Nami thought and then saw the small group on a thick canopy of leaves in front of her. It made her blush harder and she wished she never accepted this strange way of traveling through the trees. Though it is fun, she smiled, thinking about the wind rushing past her face as they swung through the trees. And I have an excuse to be this close to Usopp's bod- ahh! Stop right there! The girl clenched her eyes shut and calmed down her breathing as Usopp released from the final branch and used his swinging arm to hold up Nami's legs.

Sora stared in awe as Usopp landed in front of them with Nami held in his arms bridal style. The man with the long nose smirked and looked around at the group he'd been looking for all day. "Usopp!" Luffy yelled and couldn't be happier to see his nakama. "Nami too, why are you so red?" The captain added once he saw the navigator in Usopp's arms.

"I'm not!" Nami shouted and jumped out of the sniper's arms quickly. She brushed herself down to get off some of Usopp's sweat and then looked around, "We're the last ones huh? Is the ship alright?"

"Yes," Donald hmphed, "no thanks to him," he shoved a thumb in Sora's direction.

"It was an accident jeez," the kid growled at the duck and crossed his arms, looking away.

Tarzan looked at the strange people who recently arrived and then to Sora, "Friends?"

The boy smiled at Tarzan and nodded. He started frowning again, "Riku, you said you know where Riku is?"

"See Kerchak," the jungle man suggested and then ran towards the other side of the treetop. He leapt off and grabbed a vine, swinging off again.

"Woohoo!" Luffy ran after him and jumped up, grabbing the vine too. Sora was right behind him followed by the two Disney creatures.

"Wait! We just got here," Nami called after them. She'd hoped to talk some things over like how Usopp had to beat up a group of Marines they ran into before, and how those Heartless things were all over the place, but no such luck. She sighed and heard someone clear his throat right next to her.

"Uh, do you think you can swing those vines?" Usopp asked and Nami realized what just happened, and what was about to. She slowly shook her head and then felt a strong arm wrap around her. She screamed as Usopp sprinted to the edge and jumped off with her in his arm. The muscular man in nothing but shorts smirked as he held Nami to him. Damn being strong feels good, he thought and wondered how he ever lasted in the crew as the weakest member.

The large, strange group swung through the forest until Tarzan landed on another thick treetop and the others dropped next to him. As soon as Usopp landed, Nami jumped out of his arms this time to avoid any awkward questions. She was about to ask what they were doing here when she saw movement on a tree branch above them.

Two large gorillas were up there looking down at them. "Ee ee oo oo oo..." Tarzan started a long speech in... monkey? No one could understand what he was saying though Luffy kept nodding as he could somehow get the gist of the conversation. The large black alpha male gorilla didn't respond the entire time while Tarzan seemed to plead his case.

"He's asking the gorilla to help find Riku," Luffy explained and the others nodded, not questioning the crazy captain. The man grabbed the straw hat on his back and plopped it on his head. "Someone's coming," Luffy didn't know how he knew, but something was bugging him and he peered over the side of the tree.

There were four Marines far below them running through the trees. They looked like they were panicking, and rightfully so as a Heartless blue monkey jumped out of nowhere and tackled one of the men into a bush where a scream rang out followed by silence. The other three freaked out and started firing.

Kerchak heard the gunshots and glared at Tarzan. The gorilla looked away and climbed off through the trees against Tarzan's protests.

The others looked down where Ludfy was already staring and saw two more blue monkeys fly out of nowhere and tackle two of the other men. The men struggled for a few seconds and then large red hearts floated out of their bodies shrouded in a black haze. They disappeared and in their places were two more of those Heartless creatures.

The remaining Marine drew his sword and held it out in front of him shakily. The pirates were staring down at him unmoving, but Sora was already in action, not going to wait and watch another person get killed.

The boy was dropping out of the trees and kicked off the trunk of one, then bouncing off another as the Keyblade formed in his hand. "Blizzard!" The kid shouted as he dropped in front of the man and held out his weird weapon. Ice shards flew out and smashed into the four monkeys leaping at him, knocking them back but not killing them. "Blizzard!" He shouted again and this time the monkeys exploded and the kid grinned, flipping around his weapon and holding it out in front of him where it disappeared.

"Wh-Who are you?" The scared Marine asked with his sword still raised.

"I'm Sora," the boy replied and looked up. The rest of the group was either climbing down or dropping out of the tree.

The Marine in the dirty, ripped uniform panicked when he saw Straw Hat Luffy drop in front of him. "Captain Smo-" the man started to yell but Usopp sprinted up to him and covered his mouth with his right hand.

"We don't need Smoker coming here right now," Nami said and Sora nodded.

"Smoker?" Goofy thought back to the guy with the weird smoke power in the tent.

"A marine with a Logia Devil Fruit," Usopp exclaimed, "bad news for us." He looked towards the man who was freaking out at the big man cupping his mouth. "If you promise not to scream, I'll let go since we saved you. Got it?"

The man nodded and Usopp moved his hand. Tarzan was watching interestedly the whole time, confused at why the people who just saved this man also seemed hostile towards him. "Logia's the type that's near impossible to fight right?" Sora asked.

"No one can hurt Captain Smoker," the Marine agreed. The man considered running off as soon as Usopp released him, but being alone in the woods with these creepy monsters was even worse than spending his time with pirates. "I'm Yussaf by the way," he paused and turned to the kid with the spiky brown hair, "Thanks for saving me."

"You're welcome," Sora said and scratched the back of his head with a grin. He liked helping people, it felt good.

"EE OO!" A loud gorilla screamed off in the trees a little. Tarzan snapped his head over and pointed with his spear.

"The Heartless must be after the gorillas!" Nami exclaimed, raising her clima-tact and putting it together.

"Let's go!" Luffy yelled and charged off with Tarzan at the forefront.

Sora started chasing after them and Yussaf ran up alongside him, "Why are you with these pirates?" The man in white asked the strange kid with brown spiky hair. "Pirates pillage towns and make the people of the world scared in their own homes. They disrupt the peace and cause violence everywhere they go."

The guy was whispering so the pirates running with them wouldn't hear, but Usopp looked over to the two and waited for Sora's reaction. The boy never looked at the Marine running with him, he kept sprinting forward while he talked. "Because since I've met them, they've only tried helping me and other people we meet. I don't care if you've branded them as evil, I'll make that decision for myself." The man was shocked by the response enough to slow down and Sora got out of his sight.

When the group made it through the woods and into the clearing, every one of them paused and their eyes went wide. They were at the start of a trail of broken trees in the woods, leading off the other direction from where they entered. There were broken shards of wood and rubble all over the place. Yussaf recognized where they were and started sprinting down the path of broken trees towards their battleship.

"Hey, hold up," Sora shouted after him but the man kept running.

"Look!" Luffy pointed at a different section of the destroyed jungle and there was a small female gorilla with her back to a tree, surrounded by blue monkey Heartless. The group instantly flew into action, pulling out Keyblades and weapons of different sorts.

When they defeated the creatures, the gorilla thanked them and ran into the jungle. They heard another scream, but this time it sounded more human. "Wait," Donald started and looked down the path, "didn't that sound like..."

"Yussaf!" Sora started running and the others chased him down the path of destroyed trees until they found what destroyed them in the first place. A Marine battleship was oddly sticking up in the middle of the forest, obviously the cause of all this destruction.

The man Sora saved earlier jumped off of the ship and started running towards them like his life depended on it. "Yussaf, what's wrong?" Sora called over.

CRASH! The cabin of the battleship exploded outwards, wood shards flying everywhere. A huge chunk fell on top of the retreating Marine and Sora shouted, but he managed to dodge roll out of the way before a piece hit him too. Donald created a fireball that destroyed the piece coming towards him and Goofy rose his shield.

Luffy tried rolling out of the way, but another large piece was coming in the spot he rolled to. He tried jumping to move again, but he was too slow and his legs were nicked by a piece of wood, flipping him in midair so he hit the ground face-first.

Nami held up her clima tact in an attempt to stop the piece coming towards her, but as it approached insanely fast she didn't think she would be able to stop it. "Ahh!" the piece never hit and the woman opened her clenched eyes. Usopp was smiling down at her, being a few inches taller than the woman. His chest was facing her and his arms were spread out, but his back... "Usopp!" she shouted as his eyes started to close and he fell to his knees.

The orange haired woman fell under him and propped him up before he hit the ground. His head had a bump on it and there were a few wood shards sticking out of his back. "Luffy!" she shouted and the rubber pirate got off the ground and looked over towards her.

"Wawawawa!" Donald shouted and tackled Luffy out of the way.

"What was that for?!" the pirate yelled. He was worried about his crewmate, and now the duck was tackling him for no reason.

Sora ran up alongside Donald and Luffy, and Goofy ran to the other side. "Look closer," the kid said with his Keyblade forming in his hand. Luffy stared at the spot he was just standing in, and he saw a shimmer of something there, something big. "It's invisible," the kid said in awe.

Tarzan charged at the invisible monster and jumped up in the air, but he was smacked away so hard he flew towards the wreckage of the battleship and slammed into the deck. "It's really big," Sora muttered and took a step back.

Luffy looked back towards Nami who was holding Usopp's head in her lap and trying to get him awake. "We have to take it down ourselves," the pirate stated and punched his fists together. It hit Tarzan mid-flight, so it must be fast. And it knocked him across the battlefield, so it has to be strong too. Guess it's time to try the new technique, the pirate smirked and bent his knees, putting one fist on the ground, "Let's do this."

A/N You know what time it is! Luffy's coming up with new techniques to match the increasingly stronger and faster enemies, just like in One Piece. Hope you all enjoyed this chapter and if you're wondering why it's ending here and not at the end of the Deep Jungle arc, this is going to be longer than the Coliseum and Wonderland, so hold onto your horses, as there might be two or three more chapters on this world.

Now that's different, Spongebob huh? Not bad really enjoyed it! Now Deep jungle is looking interesting, and the confrontion with Zoro is something I can't wait to see!

Thanks! I just kind of had the idea and decided to roll with it. Zoro was stuck in the cosmos for who knows how long, probably waiting for his captain who never came. It's going to be an intense reunion when it comes.

Another awesome chapter. Interesting twist seeing Smoker show up.

Yeah he's a great character in One Piece because he's a Marine you want to root for, though you don't want him getting Luffy. His men are quickly getting picked off by the powerful Heartless of this world and he's rolling with Clayton, not the best friend to make... And Tashigi goes missing before they get sucked into this world, so where could she be? Who knows?! I certainly don't XD, but I've got some ideas. Thanks for the review and I hope everyone enjoyed the chapter. 'Till next time!
