Chapter 4: Forging alliances! The Egg Cauldron attacks!
Luffy's Theme-One Piece (OST)
The Thousand Sunny and the Ocean Tornado sailed together, while the Tornado-1 flew over them.
Nora: Arr, my cabin boys! Go all the way to the treasure hunt!
Nora put on an eye patch and a black tricorn, imitating the pirates. Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper were impressed by his imitation, while Ren shook his head.
Ren: Nora, please don't do that.
Nora: Come on, Ren! Where's your sense of adventure? We are sailing alongside pirates. Pirates!
Nami: Don't worry, I understand you. At first when they see us, nobody thinks we are pirates.
Sanji: At least, thank you that you didn't meet the type of pirates who would kill others.
Jaune: K-Kill ...?
Pyrrha: That reminds me of why we haven't introduced ourselves.
Sonic (Communicator.): That's true.
Sonic appears on a video screen in Ocean Tornado.
Franky: It looks like Den Den Mushi.
Sonic (Screen.): My name is Sonic the Hedgehog. It is a pleasure, thanks for taking care of Tails.
Pyrrha: The pleasure is mine. I am Pyrrha Nikos.
Juane: Juane Arc, leader of the JNPR team, a pleasure.
Nora: Nora Valkyre, thanks for taking care of Ruby and the rest!
Ren: I'm Lie Ren, thanks for saving us last night.
Nora: By the way, it's amazing that you can transform at night!
Ren: Speaking of which, where's Ruby?
Ruby comes out of the Ocean Tornado cabin, with a bump on her head, followed by Weiss, her fist blowing smoke.
Weiss: I forgive you because you weren't yourself last night, but if you ever try to control me again...
Ruby: I already said I'm sorry. Jo, you didn't have to go over there!
Yang: I didn't know you were that strong.
Weiss: You never asked me if I knew how to punch.
At that moment, Sanji arrives, walking through the sky with some snacks.
Sanji: Ladies, please...
Jaune: Thanks.
Sanji: Hey, they are for the ladies, if you want, you will have to wait.
Zoro: You are an idiot, Ero-Cook.
Sanji quickly returns to Sunny, fighting with Zoro.
Jaune: Th-Are they really pirates?
Ruby had stars in her eyes and drooled looking at the cookies.
Yang: Hey, take it easy, Ruby.
Ignoring her, Ruby starts to gobble, while at the Sunny, Luffy eats a mountain of pieces of meat.
All: They are like brothers in many ways.
Nami: Well, since Sonic showed up, it's our turn. I am Nami, the navigator of this crew.
Blake: Now I understand why you had a talking cloud.
Nami: T-That's another story...
Sanji: Ladies, my name is Sanji, the cook on board. And to meet you ... it was destiny!
Pyrrha: What an attentive man...
Blake: What harass you is being attentive to yourself?
Sanji, hearing these words, falls to his knees depressed.
Sanji: Stalker...
Zoro: Ha ha ha ha! Well said. And while I'm ... I'm Roronoa Zoro, the band swordsman. A pleasure.
Pyrrha and Zoro exchange challenging glances, eager to fight.
Robin: I'm Nico Robin, archeologist for the Straw Hats.
Weiss: Archeologist? I mean, I thought you were the counselor or whatever you say these pirate things. As you read so many books...
Robin: I like to read.
Luffy: Blake and you have a lot in common. They read a lot and are very smart.
Everyone starts thinking until they come to an unusual conclusion: Luffy was right.
Luffy: Although I don't think Blake says things like: "Be careful when you use a knife, otherwise you could cut your veins and die."
A chill ran through the humans, minus Ruby, who was still devouring cookies.
Brook: Yohohoho! I guess it's my turn to introduce myself. I'm "Dead Bones" Brook, musician for the crew. It is a true honor to meet you all.
Yang: You were the one who scared my sister! Please take off your mask!
Brook: I'm afraid my dear it's not a mask.
Yang is shocked by what he has said. However...
Nora: Great, we can hide it in a closet and scare some poor foolish soul away!
Luffy: Good idea!
Both teens were arguing about more jokes.
Ren and Nami: They are too friends.
Brook: I'm sorry about what happened, Yang-san.
Yang: Nothing, don't worry.
Brook: And now, Yang-san, can I look at your panties?
Yang gets a vein in the head and punches her and uses Ember Celica to shoot him, while the other girls applaud her. Ruby approaches Nami, who sighs.
Ruby: How do you handle that?
Nami: Hitting him in the head with a good punch.
Franky: It's my turn, I'm the cyborg of your dreams, Fraaaaaaaaaankyyyyyyy, the shipbuilder!
Franky does his signature pose, impressing the two sisters, Jaune and Nora.
RYJN: Unbelievable!
Franky: And if you press my nose...
Ruby presses her nose and Franky's hairstyle changes to the afro style.
Ruby: Sweet!
Usopp: Greetings, future Hunters! I am the great Lord of Destruction, the courageous and incredible ... Captain Usopp! Leader of 8000 warriors!
The hunters stay in the same place, not knowing what to say.
Ruby: REALLY?!
WBY: Ruby, that's a lie!
Usopp: Neither case, Ruby. I will tell you about my adventures in the seas.
WBY: Don't listen...
Chopper: I'm Tony Tony Chopper, but you can call me Chopper, I'm the doctor.
Weiss: You, a doctor?
Chopper: Of course!
Weiss feels an urge; she takes the doctor and hugs him.
Weiss: You are ... the most adorable thing I've ever seen! Apart from Zwei.
Yang: Go with the reindeer...
Chopper: D-Don't think hugging makes me happy, you idiot!
Robin: He does it whenever he is happy, don't worry.
Jimbei: Please allow me to introduce myself! I'm Jimbei, helmsman of the Straw Hats. It is an honor to meet you. I hope we get along well!
Pyrrha: You are a gentleman.
Jimbei: Let me be your provisional helmsman. While you are on the boat, you will need the guidance of someone experienced.
Jaune: The truth is that we could use it.
Nora: Man, you look like a giant fish!
Jimbei: Ha ha. I am a gyojin, a fish man if you prefer.
No one noticed that Blake was seeing Jimbei with his eyes starred and drooling.
Blake: "Control yourself, Blake. Jimbei is Luffy's partner and a good friend. You can't think of eating it!"
Yang: Blake, are you okay?
Blake quickly wipes off the slobber, trying to appear normal.
Blake: Y-Me? D-Don't talk nonsense. Heh heh heh ...
Luffy: Shishishi. What do you think? They are incredible, right?
Nora: They are cool!
Ren: They are unique without a doubt.
Yang: Now only the captain is missing! Where is it?
Luffy: What are you talking about? You already know me.
At that precise moment, almost all the Hunters took a few seconds to think about the situation.
WBY and JPR: YOU ARE THE CAPTAIN !?
Luffy: Of course.
Weiss: You can't be the captain! I mean, you're worse than Ruby!
Luffy and Ruby: Hey!
While in Tornado-1, Sonic and Tails overheard the entire conversation.
Tails: They are amazing, right?
Sonic: They are so much fun, but I feel like the one here is my fault.
Tails: Don't say that. It is Eggman's fault.
Sonic: Thanks buddy. Huh?! What is that thing?!
A round shaped flying fortress, armed with missiles, stands in front of the Sunny and the Ocean Tornado
Boss Battle (Day) - Sonic Unleashed [OST]
Eggman: Nyaaah, ha ha! Well Sonic, prepare to be sunk!
Orbot: Remember, Doctor, it's not finished. If you're not careful...
Eggman: Rrgh, silence!
Egg Cauldron
Tails: It seems like we'll have to go through that in order to continue.
Sonic (Screen): Guys, you have company!
Suddenly a group of robot ships approach, ready to attack.
Luffy: Get ready, people!
All: Yes!
Tails (Screen): Ruby, Jaune! Listen, the Ocean Tornado has three types of weapons:
The Gun Turret fires standard projectiles. It is mainly used in fast and armored light aircraft and ships, as well as to destroy projectiles and bombs sent by enemies. The largest and most powerful enemies can deflect shots without affecting them. It has six rounds per magazine, but reloads incredibly fast.
The Cannon: Deals a lot of damage against armored targets, but cannot fire quickly. It has 3 cannonballs per "magazine", but it only takes a fraction of a second to reload.
And lastly, the Flamethrower - used to deal prolonged damage. The flames remain for about a second before disappearing. This is useful for dealing additional damage while hitting a battleship with the cannon to destroy it faster. It has the disadvantage of having a very long recharge time. Will you manage?
Ruby: Of course!
Jaune: We are ready!
When the attack begins, Yang and Norat take command of the machine guns, riddling the planes, while Blake uses the cannons to get rid of the ships.
Franky: That ship is gorgeous! That little fox knows what it does.
Zoro: Stop wasting time!
Straw Hats use their abilities to defeat machines.
Sonic and Tails continue to fight the Egg Cauldron. Then the main hatch opens, releasing robots and missiles.
Tails: Sonic now!
Sonic: Got it!
Sonic fires with the entire arsenal of the Tornado-1, causing severe damage.
Orbot: Further combat inadvisable, Doctor.
Eggman: Huh? Energy levels dropping? Grrah! What a disaster! Retreat!
The Egg Cauldron retreats, making Eggman ridiculous.
?: Oi, Doctor. Don't worry, these things happen.
Eggman: It wouldn't happen if YOU had helped me.
?: And what fun would it have been? Haven't you seen that there were two ships giving yours a lesson?
Eggman: Now that you mention it ...
?: Come on, have fun. Even you like them, right? Zehahahahaha !
While at sea, following the Sunny and the OC, a teal ship with a military flag appears. The voice of a young woman resonates.
?. 2: Sir, the Straw Hats are heading to Spagonia, just as they warned us.
The man saw through binoculars how Luffy and company celebrated a victory.
?. 3: So, as I suspected, you were here, Straw Hat. I will not let you escape!
To be continue...
