The Counter Attack Begins
Pirates, People, & Soldiers Across the Lands
At the Navy Headquarters several soldiers of all ranks were gathered around to discuss the thief of the coffee beans.
"This is an outrage!" Akainu said. He slammed his hands down on the table where the newspaper laid out before him. "They must be stopped!"
"And soon," Aokiji said. "More and more riots are being reported over the world. People are just too cranky without their coffee."
"We want our coffee!"
"We want our coffee!"
"We want our coffee!"
"We want our coffee!"
"Those soldiers are going insane," Kizaru said as he stared out at the chanting marines down on the ground. Some of them were in fights with each other. "We need to do something. We won't have any marines if this keeps up."
"The get ready to set sail," Akainu said. "We're going to stop these ninjas already." He spun around and faced his fellow marines. "I'm dying for a cup of coffee!"
…
On an island somewhere in the Grand Line, the normal citizens were also losing their minds from the lack of coffee. Teachers and parents were falling asleep, work went undone, and kids were going unfed. Several fights had even broken out among them. The doctors and nurses were working around the clock to try and keep up with all the wounded people that came seeking their help. But without their coffee a lot were falling asleep on the job. A doctor ran over to one of his nurses. "What are you doing?! Wake up! We have wounded to deal with!"
"Not now, Mommy." The nurse rolled over on the bed.
"And get off that bed! It's for wounded not you!" the doctor said. He turned to the door when he heard people shouting.
"This is an outrage!"
"Why isn't someone doing something about this?!"
"It's the navy's fault! They should be protecting our coffee!"
"I say we take out the navy then go after these ninjas!"
"Yeah! Stand up to the navy! Stop the ninjas!"
"Yeah! Stand up to the navy! Stop the ninjas!"
"Yeah! Stand up to the navy! Stop the ninjas!"
"Let's go!"
"Oh dear." The doctor watched as the people ran towards the dock and leaped on a ship. Within seconds the ship sailed off.
…
Somewhere in the New World, even the emperors of the sea were having trouble without their coffee. Shanks glared out at the sea. "Who is doing this?! Who are these ninjas?!"
"As far as anyone can tell, they are from the Leaf Village," Benn said. "The Hokage of that village is sending out more ninjas squads to try and stop them. But the coffee stealers have so far avoided being caught."
"No more!" Shanks bellowed. "I can't take it anymore! I need my coffee! We're going to set sail, men!"
"Aye! Off with their heads!" the crew sang. They boarded their ship and took off.
…
"Coffee! Coffee!" Big Mom shouted as she stomped over the island of Whole Cake. She knocked and pushed over buildings, and munched on them.
The people screamed and ran away from her rampage as buildings fell down.
"This is horrible!"
"Someone must do something!"
"Get Mama some coffee!
"There is none!"
"We're going to die!"
"Someone must do something!"
"Where are those ninjas hiding?!"
"No one knows!"
…
Else where in the New World, a couple of the Super Novas were gathered together. Some of them were having just as much trouble without their coffee. The Straw Hats and a few of the Heart Pirates were scattered around the deck of the Sunny on this warm, coffeeless day.
"This just can't be happening!" Sanji said. He crinkled the newspaper in his hands. "It's an outrage!"
"Calm down," Zoro said. "Its just coffee."
"Just coffee?!" Sanji snapped. "It's not just coffee! It's essential! Don't you see how my precious Nami has been going out of her mind since the coffee plantations have been under attack?!"
The two men looked over at Nami. The orange hair woman was tied up. Growling she bit Usopp's leg when he walked by. "Give me my coffee!"
"Ah! She's biting me!" Usopp screamed. "Get her off!"
"She's so funny!" Luffy said laughing.
"It's not funny!" Usopp said. "Someone help me!"
"She's out of control," Franky said.
"Isn't there something you can do for her, Chopper?" Brook asked.
"I'm afraid not," Chopper said. "She just needs her coffee."
"I can make some more," Neo said. She summoned a couple earth crystals.
"You're not her personally coffee bean making machine," Law said. "I can feel you're tired. You should be thinking about our baby not making coffee beans."
"It's fine, Law." Neo leaned against his, resting her head on his shoulder. She slipped her hand into his while cupping her stomach with her other hand. "We're both fine. This baby's not coming for a few more months."
"But the captain's right," Penguin said.
"You can't keep making coffee," Shachi added. "You're going to continue to wear yourself out. You don't want the captain to put you on bed rest."
"I guess not," Neo said banishing her crystals.
"We have to do something." Bepo nodded. "Even some of our crewmembers are having issues without having their coffee."
"How can you all be so calm?!" Nami demanded before chomping down on Usopp's leg again.
"Stop biting me!" Usopp said.
"She's so hostile," Robin said.
"You're not helping!" Usopp said. "Luffy, please! Let's do something about this!"
"Okay, okay," Luffy said. "We'll go after the ninjas. It could be fun."
"Is that all you think about? Fun?" Law asked.
"You're still asking him that?" Neo asked.
"Luffy's got a point," Zoro said. "Even the Navy has had a hard time in tracking them down."
"Don't worry about it," Luffy said. "It'll be fine. We'll fine them."
"Maybe Neo can help us," Sanji said. "All she's got to do is sense where a huge mountain of coffee beans are."
"Stop trying to use my love to find your pathetic coffee!" Law snapped.
"Someone's cranky," Zoro said.
"Appear a certain doctor is getting grumpy without his coffee too," Usopp said.
"Just shut up and set sail," Law grumbled.
"Yeah! We're off!" Luffy cheered.
"I just hope we'll be fine without Nami's navigation skills," Chopper said.
"I can take her place until she gets better," Bepo said.
"Let's set sail then," Sanji said.
"Tell the crew we're setting sail," Law said.
"You got it, Captain," Shachi said. Turning away from them he ran over to the edge of the ship and jumped over to the sub.
Before long the two water vessels were sailing off into the distance.
