A/N: Sorry I made a few mistakes in the last chapter. First off in the next chapter previews I mistaking put in "Miss April Fools Day" instead of "Miss Golden Week" (Kaaaaaahn!)... I also I forgot to celebrated two big things! Since yesterday was the first update in a while I forgot to give the news that this surpassed both 3,000 hits and 4,000 hits... Yay! I should also point out my mind was in other places yesterday... as you may or may not know I reticently broke up with my boyfriend and he told my mom that he was coming to pick up all the stuff he left here (he left a ton of stuff before we broke up) and I thinking about well you know... stuff about him... so sorry for those mistakes... also Miss Golden Week is not Ino... Ino will be an OC… but she does have a connection to the Naruto crew...
Chapter 19: The Operation Begins
The Straw Hats walked though the desert… facing many dangers… a couple of them included a Luffy eating a hallucinated cactus... they also named camel Eyelash named by Nami which Vivi and Kaya agreed with, Luffy and Usopp wanted to name him Pervy Camel while the other guys and Tashigi thought Jiraiya would be better name… Tsunade on the other hand him Dead… not the name… she deposed the camel, wanted to kill him and was the only female not to take turns riding him… it's also why the girls won in named the camel because it make Tsunade even angrier comparing the camel to her former team mate… right now they continued their trek while Kaya and Vivi were the ones riding Eyelash.
"Are we there yet?" asked Luffy.
"No…" said Vivi.
"Are we there yet?" asked Luffy.
"No…" said Nami.
"Are we there yet?" asked Luffy.
"No…!" said Kohza.
"Are we there yet?" asked Luffy.
"No!" said Zoro.
"Are we there yet?" asked Luffy.
"For the last time no!" yelled everyone else.
"I think if you ask one more time…" said Kyubi.
"Are we there yet?" asked Luffy ignoring his inner demon.
"That's it!" yelled Nami.
"We are…" said Kohza pointing to the nearby town.
"There it is…" said Vivi with a sigh.
"Finally!" yelled Luffy.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief… knowing that Luffy's constant "Are we there yet?" will end…
Meanwhile far away in place called Spider's Café… a small café in the middle of the desert, three people wait patiently. One was just the café's owner, Paula while the other two… were Mr. 3 and Miss Golden Week… Mr. 3 was a man wearing glasses with his a hair style shaped like a 3 while Miss Golden week was a young girl wearing a punk hat calmly eating rice crackers. That's when two more people entered the Café, one was and old woman with red hair wearing a tie that resembled a Christmas Tree and other a big fat blonde man with something strapped to his back.
"Miss Merry Christmas here!" said the woman very quickly.
"M-r. 4 i-s h-e-r-e…" said the man.
"So you two made it…" said Mr. 3.
"I could say the same to you too." said Merry Christmas very fast.
"Well yes… we haven't done anything wrong…" said Mr. 3.
"Hey did you hear about the Mysterious Agilely we have?" asked Miss Merry Christmas.
"Mysterious Allies… I heard their very powerful…" said Mr. 3.
"Hmmm… Mysterious Allies… gotta like the ring to that…" said a voice.
The 4 Baroque Works member looked towards the way and found the Sound four. Three of out the four just looked at them… but Miss Golden Week dropped her Rice Cracker… she stared at the headbands.
"Sound Ninja…" she thought.
Sayuri walked up to Miss Golden Week and picked up the rice cracker.
"Here…" she said giving back the rice cracker.
"Um… thanks…" said Miss Golden Week.
"Are you supposed to be the Allies I heard about?" asked Miss Merry Christmas very quickly.
"Yes we are…" said Satoshi.
"I had no idea what she said did you?" asked Minako to Kenta.
"No idea…" replied Kenta, "Sometimes Satoshi's ability to read minds comes in pretty handy…"
"You don't look like much expect for one the big sword!" said Miss Merry Christmas.
"Well you see we're…" said Satoshi.
"Ninja from the Village Hidden in the Sound…" said Miss Golden Week.
"How do you know that?" asked Mr. 3.
"I'm from the Hidden Continent… I was raised in the Land of Waves…" said Miss Golden Week.
"L-a-n-d o-f w-a-v-e-s?" asked Mr. 4.
"Okaay…" said Minako sweat dropping at Mr. 4.
"The Land of Waves is one of many counties that lack ninja on the Hidden Continent…" explained Sayuri, "While it doesn't have any ninja village in it's borders it does an extremely strong alliance with Land of Fire and the Village Hidden in the Leaves... mostly due to the Battle of the Great Naruto Bridge…"
"I never knew you were from the Hidden Continent…" said Mr. 3.
"I am… in fact my techniques can be considered Justus…" said Miss Golden Week.
Mr. 3 sweatdroped, "I always assumed you sued special paint!" said Miss Merry Christmas.
That's when two old friends entered… Mr. 5 and Miss Valentines.
"I heard you died…" said Mr. 3.
"We didn't!" yelled Mr. 5.
"The boss wanted to hand our punishment during the meeting… I don't know why…" said Miss Valentines.
That's when Mr. 5 and Miss Valentines saw the headbands.
"You! You work with that girl who beat us up!" both yelled.
"Well duh! If she hadn't then we wouldn't be here… you two are the reasons for this alliance…" said Minako.
"And I think your punishment might also be a reward as well…" said Sayuri, "If you can handle it's power…"
Miss Golden Week's eyes were wide, "So Mr. 0 is working with him… and he's going to give them that as a punishment… they won't survive… they don't even know how to use Chakra…"she thought.
"What are you talking about?" asked Miss Val tines Day.
"We won't tell…" said Satoshi in a sing song voice.
"Is someone singing outside?" asked Kenta.
That's when Mr. 2 entered the room…
"So that's why he doesn't have a partner…" said Minako.
"Well, well… quite a gathering… I heard even Mr. 1 is coming… and who are these 4… are they the mysterious allies I heard about…" said Mr. 2 looking at the Sound 4.
"We are the Sound 4 of the Village Hidden in the Sound… the most powerful Ninja in the Sound Village after Lord Orochimaru and Yakushi Akumi…" said Sayuri.
"You are… the Sound 4?" asked Miss Golden Week.
"That is Correct… Kenta is the weakest of all of us, most of his strength comes from lighting based jutsus and but he's very strong… next is Minako, she can control her hair and has kill many with surprise attacks, Satoshi is the send strongest… in truth he is slightly stronger than me with the Clan's secret jutsu that allows him to read minds but he's also a huge coward and often tried to run away…" said Sayuri.
Satoshi began to laugh nervously, "I think you're making stuff up again…" said Satoshi.
"Satoshi…" said Minako putting a hand on his shoulder, "She's telling the truth and you know it…"
"I know…" sighed Satoshi.
"And I'm the strongest… my name is Sayuri… I have special abilities, which I refuse, to name… but I will say one thing… I have a summoning contract with stuffed animals…" said Sayuri.
Most of the Baroque Work's agents in the room were confused.
"It's a type of jutsu that allows me to summon something for another plain of existence… I can summon stuffed toys…" said Sayuri.
"N-i-n-j-a-s a-r-e w-e-i-r-d" said Mr. 4.
"You got that right…" said Mr. 3.
That's when there was loud crash… several of Mr. 2's men crashed though the wall. Then a large black man enter the room.
"What did you do!" yelled Mr. 2.
Sayuri took out a Kunai a waited for her cue.
Meanwhile with the Straw Hats, they arrived in Yuba… Vivi was shocked… even though she had a conversation with Kohza earlier telling of it's condition… she was still shocked. The town was desolate… and half destroyed… it was in terrible condition…
"I can't believe it…" said Vivi.
"I know…" said Kohza, "There's my father…"
The group saw a lone man digging in the sand… he was very old and looked stressed out… that Toto… Kohza's father…
The group approached him…
"I'm sorry but…" said Toto.
"No I should be the one who should apologize…" said Kohza.
Toto stopped what he was doing and saw his son… the son who he had gotten word had died.
"Kohza… but… I thought you were dead…" said Toto.
"Everyone thinks I am… someone made a dead body look like me…" said Kohza.
"But how…" said Toto.
"It's a long story…" said Vivi.
"Vivi…" said Toto, "You're safe!"
"Excuse me…" said Kaya, "Is there a place we can stay at where you three can talk privately?"
"Oh… of course…" said Toto.
Back at Spider's Café, both the man who turned out to be Mr. 1 and Mr. 2 were being held back by the strangest thing… a human sized stuffed elephant… of course this freaked them out a little… after all it's not everyday that human sized living stuffed toy appears…
"Please don't fight… we are all alleys and as such I believe that we should all work together to kill our shared enemy… The Princess and her friends are more dangerous than you would expect…" said Sayuri walking up to the two them.
How this happened was that because what Mr. 1 did to Mr. 2's men the two started to fight that spilled out side. The fight ended when Phant-Phant (the stuffed elephant) stopped them.
M. 1 glared at the little girl.
"What you think you can stop me…" said Mr. 1.
That's when Sayuri took out a kunai and threw it at Mr. 1's face. It merely grazed his cheek but it actually cut his cheek… badly.
"How…" he said.
"I heard that all but 2 of the Officer agents use Devil Fruits along with two of our shared enemies… I prepared sea stone Kunai and shierikan… I could kill you if I wanted to… but that would hurt our alliance…" said Sayuri.
For the first time in his life Mr. 1 was unordered… he had heard about the allies but had no idea… that one was a child that could actually kill him… with no problem…
"You know I like you kid…" said Paula walking up to the three, "Sayuri was it? I have never seen my partner so scared…"
"Wait partner?" asked Mr. 2.
"That's right!" said Paula she removed her disguise from being the owner of a restraint, "I'm actually Miss Double Finger... and I believe our ride is here…"
In the distance was a larger carriage begin pulled by a giant tortoise.
Back in Yuba Toto had managed to prepare a room with beds for the Straw Hats… most of them were just resting and relaxing with the expectation of Kohza and Vivi who were outside. Sanji was about to hit on Nami when Zoro threw a pillow at him.
"What that for?" asked Sanji.
Zoro only smirked… that's when Sanji fought back by throwing his own pillow which missed and hit Luffy who turn threw a pillow at Sanji but missed and hit Nami well a pillow war was started and as the saying goes it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye…
"I see a white light" said Usopp after being hit by a pillow thrown by Tsunade which of course had more force than a normal pillow and had the force of a brick.
"Oh no Usopp! I'm sorry!" cried Tsunade.
"Mom is that you?" said Usopp.
Outside Toto continued to dig while Kohza and Vivi told him what was going on.
"So that does explain your dreams…" said Toto, "I'm glad you learned your mistake…"
"Yeah but now the rebels think I'm dead and I can't undo my mistake…" said Kohza angrily.
"Don't worry…" said Vivi.
"Vivi is right… this your chance to undo your mistakes… because eventually there will be a way to clear things up…" said Toto.
Kohza knew both of them were right and nodded in agreement.
Somewhere in the desert, the carriage ride was slow and grueling…
"I spy with my little eye…" said Kenta.
"Is it sand?" asked Satoshi.
"This is why we don't play guessing games…" said Kenta.
"Yura yura to yuganda sora e" sang Minako.
It was also very tense among the Baroque members… Mr. 2 and Mr. 1 weren't getting along what's worse was that Sayuri had summoned Bunny Buns… who was twirling a Sea Stone Kunai.
Kenta had given up on playing "I Spy" so Satoshi looked at Miss Golden Week with an evil smirk… He noticed that there was an empty space next to her so he switched seats.
"What?" she asked.
"Should I tell them…" he whispered to her.
Miss Golden Week tensed up…
"Your Grandfather knew Orochimaru didn't he? Not only that but I've heard of your grandfather… the one that taught you how to use Chakra to manipulate paint… the one who's dying wish was that you never had anything to do with Sound when you got older… Hmmmm…" said Satoshi..
"How… do you know…" said Miss Golden Week.
"Remember what Sayuri said earlier my clan's special jutsu…" said Satoshi with a smirk, "If you even think about betraying the cause I'll tell Orochimaru that your grandfather was…" whimpered Satoshi
"Satoshi… please don't black mail our allies…" interrupted Sayuri.
Bunny Buns began to laugh manically… Satoshi hated that stuffed rabbit so much.
Miss Golden Week swallowed in fear… she knew that now that if she considered it if Satoshi was around she was doomed…
Back in Yuba most of the crew was asleep outside Kohza helped his father dig.
"What are you doing!" yelled Luffy seemingly appearing from nowhere , this caused both Kohza and Toto to jump nearly a foot.
"We're digging for water…" explained Toto after he calmed down a bit.
"Cool can I help?" asked Luffy.
"Don't help! Get sleep!" yelled his inner demon.
"Um…" said Kohza with a sweat drop.
"Great!" yelled Luffy.
Luffy began to dig a lot…
"Hey stop you just moving sand over where I was digging!" yelled Toto.
"Stop clam down Luffy!" yelled Kohza.
Meanwhile in Rain Base, at the casino called Rain Dinners which was the HQ for Baroque Works all the Officer Agents and Sound 4 were waiting at a table in an underground room.
"This is so boring! When is that guy going to show himself!" yelled Minako.
"Jeez, Minako can't you be calm for once…" came a voice from a nearby stair way it was Akumi and Miss All Sunday.
"You!" yelled both Mr. 5 and Miss Valentines Day.
"Sorry about defeating you two…" said Akumi with a bow, "And thank you…"
"You're thanking us for what?" asked Mr. 5.
"Well if it wasn't for you our alliance wouldn't have come to be…" said Akumi, "Now to change the subject…"
"I've bet you've been wondering who the boss is… right?" asked Miss All Sunday.
"That's right! Who is the boss man!" said Miss Merry Christmas.
"Well I guess it time to show my face!" said Crocodile on spinning chair.
All the officer agents were shocked.
"Mr. 0 is Crocodile!" they yelled.
"What a tweet!" yelled Kenta.
Everyone stared at him.
"Kenta…" said Minako.
"Shutting up…" said Kenta.
"Your one of the 7 Warlords of the sea!" yelled Mr. 3.
"You're the one running Baroque Works!" yelled Mr. 2.
"That's right… I've running this from the very begging…" said Crocodile, "But of course we have been given help for many of our recent endeavors…" said Crocodile.
A door opened and Orochimaru entered the room… all 9 officer agents shivered when they saw Orochimaru all them felt… that he wasn't even human.
"This is our alley Orochimaru…" said Crocodile, "He is the head of the Sound Village and oldest living human man on the planet…."
"Why would the Sound Village want to help us?" asked Miss Golden Week.
"Well I guess I should tell you all a little story…" said Orochimaru, "Over 80 years ago I was in the final battle with 16 very powerful ninja... I killed them all one by one… but then a woman claiming to be the Goddess of Rebirth stopped me from destroying the Village Hidden in the Leaves… she clamed that did many injustices, so she told me that sometime in the future all 16 of these ninja would be reincarnated and kill me once and for all… she also gave a special jutsu to Jiraiya and Tsunade that allowed them to become immortal… old friends if you will… these 16 ninja have been reincarnated… I have found 11 of the reincarnation and 10 of them have already gathered in one group… what's worse is that Tsunade has joined them…"
"So what does this have to with us?" asked Mr. 1.
"One of the reincarnations is Princess Vivi… another is Kohza who by the way is still alive despite reports… so are the Princess' little friends… all of them are the reincarnations of ninja from over 80 years ago…" said Orochimaru.
"I have to fight them…" thought Miss Golden Week shaking.
Then she saw the look that Satoshi threw at her.
"This story sounds like a load of bull…" said Mr. 1.
"Reincarnation… yeah right…" said Miss Double Finger.
"I believe it… I heard the legend many times… in fact one of the ninja is hero where I come from…" said Miss Golden Week, "I doubt that their easy to beat…"
They were shown the pictures of Vivi, Kohza, a picture of Tsunade and the drawings that were drawn at Whiskey Peak…
"I know them!" yelled Mr. 2.
"You do?" asked Crocodile surprised.
""Got the proof?" asked Mr.1.
"Oh my god!" yelled Satoshi who began to laugh really hard.
"What is he thinking about?" asked Orochimaru.
"He transformed in Tsunade… while transformed at her… he flashed her breasts to some of the reincarnates… and let him off with a warning…" said Satoshi.
"Is that true… my Tsunade had gone soft…" said Orochimaru who then chuckled, "Just a warning?"
"Why does everyone keep saying that?" thought Mr. 2.
"You honestly don't want to know…" said Satoshi adjusting his glasses.
"But other than that I did!" said Mr. 2, he began to transform into the ones he touched one by one… showing him the truth.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking…" said Crocodile wit an evil smile.
Mr. 2 posed for pictures with the exception of Tsunade (which they already had) and Chopper (which they thought was just some pet)…
"I'm pooped…" said Mr. 2.
"Now before I give you your missions… I need to handle Mr. 5 and Miss Valentines Day's punishments…" said Crocodile.
"What is it going to be?" asked Miss Valentines Day.
"Orochimaru will give it you…" said Crocodile.
"Yes… you see even if have failed Crocodile you still played a large role in this alliance… the punishment may not be a punishment at all… but a reward… if you survive…" said Orochimaru.
"What do you mean?" asked Mr. 5.
"You'll see…" said Orochimaru.
Suddenly his neck began to stretch… he open his mouth wide and bit Mr. 5's neck… a strange mark that looked like small bombs appear on his neck where he bit him. Orochimaru let go of Mr. 5 who fell to the ground in pain then turned his attention towards Miss Valentine's day… He bit her neck as well… this time the mark was shaped like three lemons appeared on her neck… she too fell to the ground in pain.
"What the hell just happened?" yelled Mr. 1.
"I just branded them with the Cursed Seal… there's a 1 in 10 chance they will survive… if they do they will have power that will surpass even your own… however it's doubtful their survive… they have little experience using their charka…" said Orochimaru.
"N-i-n-j-a-s a-r-e f-u-c-k-e-d u-p!" said Mr. 4.
"You got that right…" said Mr. 1.
"No that's Orochimaru… I knew a retired ninja when I was younger…" said Miss Golden Week griping her hand.
"however this might prove interesting… this is the first time that Orochimaru has ever branded anyone who has eaten the Devil Fruit with the Curse Seal…" said Akumi, "So we're unsure what will happen…"
"Now here's you assignments…" said Crocodile.
He handed the assignments to the healthy Officer Agents… after they read them they burned them…
Back in Yuba, Ace woke up with a jolt clamping his neck.
"Great… I have a bad fell about this..." said Ace who then fell back to sleep instantly.
Outside Kohza and Toto still dug for water…
"Hey… I think he fell asleep…" said Toto.
Luffy was fast sleep in the hole he dug… which was about 10 feet deep.
"He sure has a lot of energy to burn…" said Kohza who then yawned.
"You should get your sleep… you don't have to help me… I know you've been feeling guilty and decided to help all night long… you don't have to…" said Toto.
Kohza sweatdroped, "Um… thanks…"
Kohza jumped into the hole… to get the idiot pirate captain… nearby the disembodied eye watched this… the person who saw though the eye smirked.
"I'll say hi to them after they leave… they will need my help to face Crocodile…" said the mysterious person.
Back in Yuba Kohza put Luffy in to bed and went to bed himself… because tomorrow would be another long day…
Next Time: While traveling though the desert they meet a boy named Ginta... he's rude, he's crude, he plays a mean guitar and he's Gaara's reincarnation...? Who would have thought Gaara would have ended up like that? All this and more next time...
