A/N: Okay I have a quick note, Bon Clay will not be speaking French in this fic sadly... mostly because I don't know enough of it to have it here... I know one or two words but that's it...
Chapter 16: Meet Mr. 2!
They were almost to Alabasta… and everything was going good… that until someone ate all the food… and the blame was placed on someone…
"I told I didn't take the food…" said Luffy.
Who couldn't blame him, he was glutton in this life and his past life…
"I know you ate the all food…" said Sanji.
"I keep telling I didn't eat it all…" said Luffy.
"I'm going take drastic measures…" said Sanji.
Sanji uncovered his Sharingan Eye… which acts as the prefect lie detector by showing every detail… sadly he was so blinded by Luffy's gluttony he didn't notice one detail… right behind Luffy was Usopp, Chopper, Akamaru and Carue all fishing… and they had food in their mouths…
"Sorry… Luffy…" said Sanji.
"That's okay…" said Luffy rubbing the back of his head.
Sanji slowly approached the fishers.
"So we finally bonding over something…" said Usopp to his pet dog.
"Bark... bark?" said Akamaru (Transition: I know… who would have thought that we'd start bonding over stealing food?)
"Now let's replace all the food before Sanji finds out…" said Chopper.
"Too late…" came Sanji's voice behind them.
After punishing them Sanji recovered his eye and walked away.
"That… went… well…" said Usopp as he and the 3 animals laid injured.
Vivi saw this and laughed a bit… she then looked at the ocean and thought about something that happened in her past.
(Flashback)
A young Vivi was playing with her friends the Sand Sand Tribe… well actually she was tired and she let out a big yawn.
"What's wrong?" asked Kohza, one of her best friends... who would one day become the rebel leader…
"I just had this weird dream last night…" said Vivi.
"What about?" asked Kohza.
"Well it was about these two strange men training martial arts..." said Vivi leaving out the key words "Green spandex" "bowl cuts" "fuzzy eyebrows" and "flames of youth"
"Were they wearing green spandex had bowl cuts and big fuzzy eyebrows and shouting about the "Flames of youth"?" asked Kohza.
"How did you know?" asked Vivi.
"Well… I get dream like that sometimes too…" said Kohza.
"You do?" asked Vivi.
"Yes…" said Kohza.
They began to talk about their dreams and discovered many interesting things about their dreams that they were named Neji (Kohza) and Tenten (Vivi) in their dreams and often shared the same dreams… later that day they told their fathers as well as Igaram and the other guards… it was secret between them… about their
(End of Flashback)
"When should I tell them…" she thought.
She turned around and saw that Usopp was okay again and fishing… somehow he got Luffy to fish with him…
"So how are the fish biting?" asked Vivi.
"Not at all…" said Luffy.
"Luffy… I keep telling… use a different bait…" said Kyubi.
"Why?" thought Luffy.
"Because A. He's not in the water and B. we're going to die when she sees this…" said Luffy.
"What are you using for bait?" asked Vivi looking down… she nearly blew a gasket when she saw the two were using Carue as bait…
"Are you going to use your epsilons on us like you did with Zoro…" asked Luffy sheepishly.
"No…" sighed Vivi, "Not this time…"
"Thank god…" said Kyubi.
"Hey what's that over there?" asked Luffy pointing to a weird green cloud coming out the ocean.
"It's steam…" said Nami.
"Steam?" asked Chopper.
Nami began to explain underwater volcanoes and other things about steam…
"So do we have to pass over it?" asked Kaya.
"It's pretty unavoidable… we're going to have to pass over it… " said Nami.
And so they passed though the steam the steam the same time another ship did… now you must be wondering why would that be important… well it is.. because when everything was clear again… they saw something strange… a man wearing make-up, a pink jacket, ballet shoes, a tutu and weird swan ornaments… hanging onto the still dangling Carue.
"What the hell…" said Tsunade walking to the scene.
"You need help?" asked Luffy.
Before the strange man could answer the man fell into the sea… he began to fail about.
"Help… I… can't… swim…" he cried.
"I'll get him…" said Tsunade.
She dove in after him and after with the others help managed to pull on bored… after all freeing Carue from being bait. Most of the crew gathered around him… except for Vivi, Nami and Kaya who watched what was going on the upper deck.
"You ate a devil fruit… didn't you?" asked Tsunade.
"Why yes I did…" said the man.
"Really? What power do you have?" asked Luffy who was suiting near him.
"I'll show you!" said the man.
The man slammed his hand into Luffy's face, causing him to tumble quite a bit. Of course everyone reacted… however…
"Hey! Hey! Stop!" yelled the man… who transformed into Luffy.
"Whoa… cool!" yelled Luffy getting up like nothing happened.
Everyone was… well somewhere "between not surprised at all" and "remotely surprised"… after all… all of them had some experience in The Transformation Justus so someone turning into someone else is not that surmising for them… but right now they were faking being shocked to humor the man…
The man touched his face with his left hand and became "normal" again.
"I ate the Clone Clone Fruit…" said the man.
Everyone sweatdroped at the name… mainly because thinking the word "clone" they think of well… multiplication….
"And I don't have to hit hard either…" said the man.
He began to lightly tap the faces of those around him.
"Observe!" said the man.
He began to transform into Zoro, Sanji, Chopper, Tashigi, and finally Tsunade…
"And that's not else I copy…" said the man who still transformed as Tsunade, "I change in body too!"
He flashed to where Luffy, Chopper, Usopp, Sanji and Akamaru were standing… Sanji fell to the ground while his nose erupted in a geyser of blood while Luffy, Chopper and Usopp were blushing bright red…
"Bark bark…" said Akamaru. (Translation: So that's what Tsunade's breasts looks like…)
Of course the man was pounded into the ground by a fist of doom then was kicked in the face… the person who did this was none other than Tsunade herself.
"If you transform into me so you can flash someone ever again… and I find out… I swear I will break both your arms, 6 of your ribs and rupture a number of your organs… and don't think I won't do it either… I've done it before…" growled Tsunade as she the poor man into the mast before she stomped off to join Nami, Kaya and Vivi on the upper deck.
"Wow…" said Ace.
"Yeah… wow…" said Zoro with his eye twitching, "She went easy on you…"
"What's that supposed to mean?" asked the man.
"Normally she beats someone to a bloody pulp if they did something like that…" said Ace.
"I once had a dream where she nearly killed me…" said Luffy rubbing the back of his head in embarrassment.
"I see…" said the man.
"You might need to lay still for a few minutes while your injuries heal…" said Ace.
"Hey can someone bring Sanji up here?" asked Tsunade.
"Tashigi grabbed the unconscious cook and brought him up to the Sanin…
"What are you going to do?" asked Nami.
"This…" said Tsunade, "Hey wake up!" she yelled in his ear.
Sanji screamed in pain, "Ow… why did you yell my ear?" asked Sanji.
"I just thought that you'll feeling repressed and I'm giving you freebie by letting you read your books out on deck without hurting you…" said Tsunade.
"I don't know what you're talking about…" said Sanji.
Since all the women were staring at him he gave in, "How do you know?"
The women gave him a look of "You know why…"
"Oh right…" said Sanji.
"I won't beat you up… considering the certain circumstances…" said Tsunade.
"We all know you have a secret stash of Make Out Paradise books…" said Nami.
"It's easy to figure out…" agreed Tashigi.
"Oh… okay…" said Sanji.
"But…" said Tsunade with a sweatdroped to find that Sanji was already gone…
"What were you going to say?" asked Kaya.
"Try not to giggle too loudly…" sighed Tsunade.
She looked down to see that the man was now okay and dancing around happily with Luffy, Usopp and Chopper.
"Chopper's growing more each day…" she thought with a motherly smile.
Both Tsunade and Vivi watched the man change into different people he had met Vivi saw one of them and was shocked.
"What's wrong?" asked Tsunade.
"How…" whispered Vivi.
Just then a swan shaped boat arrived nearby.
"It's my ship…" said the man.
"Oh…" said Luffy.
"Luffy… I don't trust that man…" said Kyubi.
"What…?" thought Luffy, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"His use of transformation with out a Justus amused me…" said Kyubi.
"What?" thought Luffy with a sweat drop.
"Well I hope we meet again! May we always be friends!" said the man as he jumped on his boat sadly.
"It's good that we you… Mr. 2…" said one of the man's crewmembers.
That's when everything froze on the Merry Go. They couldn't but to gasp as the man who turned out to be Mr. 2 sailed away.
"He's Mr. 2!" yelled almost everyone on the ship.
"He's Mr. 2…" said Tsunade, "Damn… if I known that earlier I wouldn't have let him off easy…"
"I… I should have known it was Mr. 2… I heard stories… that he wears swans, a tutu and dances around…" said Vivi.
"Hello!" yelled the rest of the crew like teenaged girls.
"Not only that… but one of the people he transformed into was my father…" said Vivi.
"So that's why you reacted like that when he transformed into different people…" said Tsunade.
"Yeah…" said Vivi.
"We have an enemy who can transform into any of us…" said Tsunade, "I shouldn't admit this… but I'm begging to fell right at home here!" she joked.
Everyone on the ship anime fell.
"Don't make a crack about the Transformation Jutsu at a time like this!" yelled Nami.
"But seriously… we need to think up of a way to know who is who…" said Tsunade.
"I have an idea…" said Ace.
"What?" said Usopp.
"A password…" said Ace.
"No password…" said Luffy stubbornly.
"But…" said Ace.
"I said no password and that's final…" said Luffy.
"What's that about?" asked Vivi.
"It's best you don't ask…" said Nami with a sigh who was the only one who knew why Luffy didn't want a password.
"I have an idea…" said Zoro.
Everyone looked at the swordsman. Not too long later everyone was tying a clothe on their wrists.
"This was a good idea…" said Sanji, "Unexpected coming from you…"
"What's that supposed to mean?" asked Zoro.
"You're not very smart…" said Tashigi.
Zoro glared at the two… "Great… they're becoming friends over one thing…" he thought.
Even Akamaru and Carue have having them tied on.
"Bark… bark…" said Akamaru (Translation: Tell me again… why am I getting tied with one?)
"It was Luffy's suggestion…" said Usopp.
"I keep telling you… a password would work too…" said Ace.
"No password…" said Luffy stubbornly.
"What happened to Naruto that made him like this?" whispered Tashigi to Ace.
"I'd rather not talk about it…" said Ace.
"All right… this sign that we're members of this crew…" said Luffy.
"I'm not part of this crew…" said Ace, "Remember…"
"Oh yeah…" said Luffy.
"And you kidnapped me…" said Tashigi.
"Just let it go!" yelled Zoro.
"Well I guess that this is a sign that we all have to work to together to defeat our shared enemies?" said Luffy not knowing what to say…
"Better…" said Tashigi.
Everyone looked at Tashigi with a sweat drop.
They all put their arms together to signify their side quest so to speak… if it wasn't for the fact that Orochimaru was working with Crocodile…
