Getting Back to Normal
Over the next few days the pirates, people, and soldiers sailed the seas in search for the ninjas that had some how stolen all of their coffee beans. And by some miracle, or by the one writing this, they managed to track down the ninjas. They were located on a medium size island. Trees surrounded a large opening in the middle of the island. The pirates, people, and Navy all gathered on different sides of the island not knowing the others were there.
The citizens gathered together on the east side of the island. "Are we ready?"
"Yeah!" They held up their weapons of shovels, ropes, pitchforks, and pans.
"Let's get them!"
They cheered and head through the forest that divided them and the ninjas.
…
Over on the west side of the island the Navy gathered together.
"We have finally arrived," Akainu said. "Are you ready?"
The Navy soldiers nodded. Those with devil fruit powers summoned their abilities before they headed into the forest.
...
Over on the north side of the island Shanks and his crew arrived. They gathered on the island, ready to take back their coffee.
"Let's go, men!" Shanks said. His crew cheered and followed him into the woods. "Hm?"
"What is it, Captain?" Benn asked.
"I can sense Neo near by," Shanks said. "I hope there's nothing wrong."
"We'll know soon enough," Yasopp said.
…
Over on the south side of the island, the Straw Hats and Heart Pirates arrived on the island. They landed and headed into the forest.
"You sure this is the place?" Usopp asked.
"I'm sure," Neo said.
"How can you doubt her?" Brook asked. "We all saw the mountain of coffee beans."
"Coffee!" Nami said. She pulled on the rope they had tied around her waist. "Coffee! I can smell it!"
"We're getting close, Nami," Sanji said. "Just be a little patient for a little bit longer."
"Hey, I can sense Godfather," Neo said.
"You mean Shanks is here?" Luffy asked.
"I wonder why he would be here," Zoro said.
"Probably the same as us," Penguin said. "You know we're not the only ones who are upset about the coffee."
"Then we're not going to be alone in this fight," Bepo said.
"I'm sure he senses Neo as well," Shachi said.
…
"Mine! All mine!" Naruto said as he swam through the pile of coffee beans.
Kiba sniffed the air. "Hey, we've got company."
"Byakugan." Neji and Hinata looked over the island.
"Multiple people are coming towards us," Neji said.
"They're coming from all sides," Hinata added.
"What?!" Naruto jumped off the pile of beans. "Well, get ready to fight! I will not allow them to take my coffee!"
The ninjas scattered out. Hidden in the shadows they waited until the people came into view.
"Attack!" Naruto shouted. They charged into battle. The once peaceful island erupted into a war zone, each person using their individual skill to fight.
A few, however, stood back and just watched the carnage in front of them.
"This is crazy," Zoro said.
"Why are they acting like this?" Chopper asked.
"It feels like someone is playing a trick on us or something," Usopp said. "I mean we found this place way too easy."
"Doesn't matter," Neo said. "It'll be over soon."
"I hope you're right," Law said.
"You're not going to fight?" Neo looked up at him.
"I'm not making a fool out of myself for some silly drink," Law said.
Neo turned her eyes back to the fight just as Shanks appeared.
"Hey! Neo! How are you doing?!" Shanks grabbed two shadow clones of Narutos. Knocking their heads together they disappeared.
"I'm doing okay," Neo said. "I see you're having issues without coffee too."
"You could say that," Shanks said. "I'd love to talk more but I have to get my coffee."
"Okay." Neo waved as he headed back into the fight. "Have fun."
Hours later, the fight began to slow down.
"Finally," Usopp said. "It looks like the fight is finally ending."
"About time," Chopper said. "I'm so bored."
"No! No!" Naruto said as he was being tied up in ropes. "My coffee!"
"It's all of our coffee, brat," a civilian said.
"I've made up some coffee!" Sanji shouted out. Several people cheered and moved towards the large pot of coffee he had mixed up. They all gathered around and breathed the coffee scent in.
"This was too weird," Usopp said. "I still say something out of the ordinary happened here."
"Just enjoy your coffee," Franky said.
"So yummy!" Nami said with a steaming cup in her hand. "Smells and tastes great!"
"Your friends are right." Yasopp slapped his son on the shoulder. "Just enjoy yourself."
"Why am I the only one who thinks this isn't right?" Usopp said.
"Don't worry, Usopp," Neo said. "It's almost over."
"And how do you know that?" Usopp asked.
"Because the writer told me so," Neo said.
"It's official," Usopp said. "You've gone crazy."
"No, that would be Naruto," Neo said. "He had a bizarre reaction to the coffee because of the author's boredom."
"Sure," Usopp said.
"Listen to my goddaughter," Shanks said. "She knows what she's talking about."
"I'll never listen to a pirate," Akainu said.
"Shut up and drink your coffee," Benn said.
"This is odd," Aokiji said. "We should leave soon before we come to our sense."
The Navy soldiers agreed. After loading up as much coffee beans on their ships, they headed back to the headquarters so they could distribute the coffee. Next the citizens headed off with their own boatloads of coffee.
"Oh man," Kiba said. "What happened?"
"I don't know," Shikamaru said. "But my head hurts like crazy."
"Where are we?" Tenten asked.
"Looks like they're snapping out of it," Neo said.
"Out of what?" Brook asked.
"We'll know soon enough," Law said. He walked over to the ninjas and bent down. "Why did you take all the coffee beans?"
"What are you talking about?" Shikamaru asked.
"Wait," Sakura said. "I think I'm remembering. It was Naruto. He did something to us."
"I remember," Lee said. "He kept going on about coffee."
The pirates listened to each ninja as they told them what they remembered.
"It sounds like Naruto did have a bizarre reaction to coffee," Chopper said as they all turned their eyes to the blonde boy.
"So yummy," Naruto said in his sleep. He opened his eyes and sat up and found everyone staring at him. "What's going on? Why are you all looking at me like that? Who are you people?"
"I'm Monkey D. Luffy! And I'm going to be King of the Pirates!" Luffy said.
Law rolled his eyes and told Naruto what happened.
"What?! That's insane!" Naruto said.
"You've caused us a lot of trouble," Nami said.
"Just stay away from coffee from now on," Sanji said.
"Sure thing," Naruto said. "Man, what a bizarre event."
"You're telling me," Usopp said. "Is this over yet?"
"Yes, it's over," Neo said.
"Good. I hope nothing like this ever happens again," Usopp said.
"That all depends on the author," Neo said with a smile. "Other pointless stuff might happen if she get's bored enough to do it."
A shiver ran up and down Usopp's spine. "Great. Just great." He paused. "Wait a second. Wasn't Big Mom mentioned? What happened to her?"
Everyone exchanged looks of worry.
