Another Nakama Omakes
Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece or any of its characters. However, I do own Ricky, Ollie, and Han. Just not the characters the latter two are based off of.
Alabasta Omake:
Ollie's Desert Story:
-x-
"THIS IS ALL THE BREAKFAST WE GET?" Usopp complained as the Straw Hats and the three Whitebeards sat around the fire in their makeshift campsite. "COME OOON!"
"SEEECOOONDS!" Luffy ordered as he stood tall by the fire and smacked a spoon against a metal bowl. KLANG! KLANG! KLANG!
Luffy and Usopp suddenly found Sanji's feet planted in their face, THWAK! THWAK! "Don't be greedy!" Sanji growled at them. "You've had enough for one meal."
WHUUP! Luffy's rubber arm stretched out and snatched a chunk of meat off of Zoro's plate from where he had been sitting eating quietly with Han.
"LUFFY! WHAT'RE YOU… COME ON!" the swordsman snapped. He got up and glared down at the Captain, "KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF OF OTHER PEOPLE'S FOOD!"
THWAK! Sanji kicked a still complaining Usopp and knocked him on his back, "THERE ISN'T ANY MORE, OKAY?"
"Why are they like this every time we eat?" Vivi wondered as she and Nami sat on top of one of the round boulders calmly eating their own breakfast.
"Don't make eye contact," Nami advised.
"Like that'll stop Luffy from stealing your food," Ricky said from down at the bottom of the boulder where he sat eating breakfast in between Ollie and Chopper. "Luffy has absolutely no self-restraint. You can either eat all your food before he can steal it or outright stop him from stealing it."
SHUUUWHUP! Luffy's rubber arm stretched out and swiped meat off of Ricky's plate. Ricky glared down at the empty spot on his plate while Ollie grinned.
"You were saying?" she teased him.
"Now… I outright stop him from stealing it," Ricky resolved as he got up and stalked over to Luffy who had ignored his 'fight' with Zoro to steal Ricky's food. "Zoro… hold him down…"
Vivi looked over at Ace who was sitting on top of a tall boulder quietly wiping off his fork, knife and plate with a napkin. His black and red desert cloak was neatly folded next to him with his rucksack placed on top of it. "Ace is so calm and orderly," Vivi noted, "He cleans his fork and plate after each meal."
"Makes me think that there's hope for his gender after all," Nami remarked as she glanced over at the other male pirates.
"Let's see you steal our food now!" Ricky taunted as he and Zoro stood over Luffy.
"MMMMM! MMMMMMM!" Luffy mumbled, Ricky had tied his rubber lips in a knot, binding his mouth closed.
"Ace is cut from a different cloth than those guys," Nami commented to Vivi. "Judging by his well-mannered personality you'd never guess that he has a staggering bounty on his head."
"Ace has a bounty on his head?" Chopper asked.
"Yup," Ollie replied, "A big one too. Bounty Hunters all around the world are after him. There's not a pirate alive that isn't intimidated by the name 'Fire Fist' Ace Second Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates." Everyone thought back to how Ace had roasted the five Billion battleships with his Flame Flame Fruit Powers, it seemed odd that such a well mannered man was capable of such a devastating feat.
"If Ace is imposing enough to scare his peers then this Blackbeard he's chasing must be just as terrifying," Vivi commented.
Ollie tensed, "That bastard is a monster," she spat. "He was in our division and even then I thought he was creepy. He showed his true colors by killing one of his own crew and then thinking nothing of it. He tried to do the same thing to Ricky… and now he's all… different." Ollie frowned and looked over at Ricky who was standing silently over Luffy with a small grin playing across his face while Zoro loudly ate the reclaimed food.
"Mmmmm," Zoro moaned, "It tastes even better now that Luffy can't steal it."
"MMMMM… MMMMPPHHH!" Luffy snarled with his lips still tied in a knot. He grabbed his lips and started stretching them in an attempt to yank the knot out.
"Even if he didn't kill him," Ollie continued, "With how he scarred and changed Ricky… Ace'll never give up hunting him until he's brought to justice for what he's done. Evil Devil Fruit Powers be damned."
Nami looked over at Ace then slid down the boulder and landed in the sand next to Ollie, "So… what was Ricky like before he lost his eye then?" she asked his former Nakama. Chopper and Vivi perked up and looked at Ollie with interest.
"He was a lot more emotional than he is now," Ollie admitted, she glanced around her and saw that she had her audience's full attention. "I suppose I could tell you some embarrassing things about him…" A predatory smile spread across Nami's face. "You should see what happens when he gets really drunk."
"How drunk?" Nami inquired.
"Piss drunk," Ollie answered. "It's because of this that Whitebeard made sure he had a high tolerance for alcohol. Last I checked it takes somewhere around three whole barrels to get him completely wasted. You see, when he gets past a certain point of drunkenness he becomes highly suggestible and will do anything you tell him. I think it's the universe's way of getting back at him for being such a swindler when he's sober. The only visible sign that he's in that state is that he gets this black ring around his eyes… I guess its eye now. He's almost completely coherent but he's got no restrictions. If you can convince him something's a good idea… he'll do it."
"What kind of things are you talking about?" Chopper asked.
"Have you ever heard of Robin Hood?" Ollie questioned.
"Of course," Nami replied. It was an old story that she knew well and judging from her outfit Ollie did too. Nami looked over at Vivi and Chopper. "It's the story of an outlaw named Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men that all dress in green and live in a forest. They rob the corrupt Prince John and give the stolen money to the poor people that the Prince taxed into poverty. He's a tricky swindler like Ricky but he dresses like Ollie."
"And that's the point," Ollie stated. "You see, this happened soon after we joined the Whitebeard Pirates. Ricky had gotten really drunk…"
-Ollie's Flashback-
"C'mon, it'll be fun!" Ollie urged a piss drunk seventeen year old Ricky. His long bushy red hair was a mess and he had a dark ring around both of his eyes.
"Sounds kind of silly," Ricky replied.
"Aw come on!" Ollie complained. "Think of all the stuff I've done for you. Can't you do this one thing with me?"
"Oh, alright," Ricky agreed. Without another word he pulled his white t-shirt over his head then stood up and started undoing his pants. Ollie grinned and started pulling off her dark green boots.
-x-
"Can I have everyone's attention?" Ollie requested as she walked out onto the deck of the Moby Dick wearing a baggy pair of black cargo pants and a loose white t-shirt with the mark of the Whitebeard Pirates on the back. Everyone on deck, which included Whitebeard, most of the Division Commanders, Ace and the former Spade Pirates, Marshall D. Teach, and large group of other Division subordinates, turned their attention to the oddly-dressed archer. "Presenting… for this one-night only: Robin Hood of Sherwood Forest!"
Ricky walked out from the room Ollie had emerged from and the pirates burst out laughing. The red-haired teen wore Ollie's green tights which were practically molded to his muscular legs as well as her green top which was also rather sung on him. He had her bow and arrows strapped on his back and all in all the fox-like pirate looked great deal like the Robin Hood depicted in the stories. The rings around his eyes meant that the very drunk Ricky thought that dressing up like Robin Hood was a good idea.
"Well then, you lot look like a nice bunch of Merry Men," Ricky remarked as he surveyed the laughing crew. He walked over to 3rd Division Commander Jozu, the large man was usually quiet and stoic but currently he was laughing heartily along with the other Whitebeard Pirates. "Come along Little Jozu, Prince John is up to his wicked ways again! We must reclaim the treasure that he's unreasonably taken from the poor people of Nottingham."
Han leaned over to a hysterically laughing Ace, "You're never going to let him live this down, are you?" he asked.
"Nope, never," Ace assured him then went right back to laughing at his drunk younger brother. "HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Ricky leapt across the deck and landed in front of a loudly laughing Marshall D. Teach, "Sheriff, it is high time that you returned all the money you've unjustly filched from these poor people."
"ZEHAHAHAHAHA!" Teach laughed at the green-clad boy in front of him. "ZEHAHA-HEY!" His laughter stopped when Ricky swiped away the cherry pie he'd been about to eat. "It's one thing ta take my money BUT STEALIN' MY PIE'S GOIN' TOO FAR!" The other pirates of course, just thought this was hilarious. Ricky raced off across the deck with Teach chasing after him, "GIMME BACK MY PIE, YA RASCAL!"
"Not a chance, Sheriff!" Ricky Hood retorted. "You and your men will never catch Robin Hood the Prince of Thieves!" Ricky sped away and caught Ollie off guard when he swept her onto his shoulder while still holding Teach's cheery pie in his free hand. "Come Maid Marian, let us do away to Sherwood Forest."
"Maid Marian?" Ollie repeated. "Oh, hell no! I'm no—WAAAAH!" Her protests were cut short when Ricky bounded back through the door they'd come out and slammed it shut behind them.
They left behind a laughing crew and an annoyed Marshall D. Teach. "GIMME BACK MY PIE, YA THIEVIN' BRAT!"
"GURARARARA!" Whitebeard laughed, "Calm down Teach, there's plenty more pies where that came from. I think the boy deserves it after the show he just put on."
"Aye, alright," Teach conceded, "But he'd better not be makin' a habit of that."
"I agree," Marco said, "While he pulled off those tights quite well, I don't think we'd ever get anything done if he dressed like that all the time."
Everyone else laughed but Teach looked indignant. "OI! THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!"
-End Ollie's Ricky Hood Flashback-
"HEHEHEHEHE!" Nami and Chopper laughed at Ollie's story. "TEEHEEHEE!" Vivi covered her mouth and attempted to hide her own laughter.
"They teased him for months," Ollie concluded, "He doesn't remember doing it but the rest of the crew took great pleasure in reminding him."
"Hehehe," Nami sniggered, "I'd pay a fortune for a picture of that."
"Everyone was caught up in the show so no one thought of that at the time," Ollie admitted.
Back in the middle of the camp ground Ricky shivered and glanced over at Chopper and the laughing girls, "I have a feeling that something really bad is happening over there."
At the same time, Han stiffened and glanced around him, "We're being hunted."
Nami came over to Ricky wearing a giddy smile. "What?" he asked.
"If I paid you five hundred thousand berries… would you be willing to wear those tights again?"
Ricky's eye narrowed in annoyance then he glared at Ollie, "Oh, so we're talking about past drunken exploits are we?" he questioned. "I don't suppose Ollie told you about the time she tried to pee standing up."
Of course, Nami burst out laughing again, "HEHEHE! Looks like Ollie's just one of the guys!"
"AH!" Ollie shrieked. Her bright blush told everyone that Ricky's event was true, "You dick!"
"I may be," Ricky admitted, "But as our old Nakama so graciously kept reminding me, at least I pulled off the Robin Hood in tights look. You however, fell over and made a mess of yourself."
"Maybe I should tell them about how composed you were the first time you met 'Hawk Eye' Mihawk," she threatened.
"You're too late," Ricky informed her. "I already told them that one. I on the other hand, could always tell them what happened with you and those two mermaids on Fishman Island."
"Did someone say mermaid?" Sanji suddenly perked up.
"You wouldn't…" Ollie said as she stared warily at him.
Ricky turned to Nami, "It all started when Ollie's went swimming but ran out of air…"
"OKAY! OKAY!" Ollie quickly interrupted. "I give! I give! I'll stop."
Ricky flashed Ollie his signature sly grin, "Then we have a truce," he resolved.
Nami watched them and felt a twinge of jealousy. Ricky and Ollie were so close, they'd been on countless adventures together and had the blackmail material to back it up. She could only hope that someday she'd have that sort of relationship with him.
-x-
There we go, I thought I'd delve into Ricky's vast experiences from his previous pirate crews and come up with something humorous. In the One Piece World Robin Hood is just an old novel written about a fictional character. Nottingham and Sherwood were only locations on the fictional island where the story took place.
And so that's the last of the Omakes I had come up with beforehand, so now comes the fun part of this story: I'll take requests. If there's a particular scene you'd like to see, for example maybe you'd like to see one of Ricky and Ace's adventures as Spade Pirates or maybe you want to see Ricky meet a Filler Character or someone from one of the movies. Just submit a request for the scene you'd like to see in a review or a PM and I'll see about writing it. The only restrictions are that the scenes are not Rated M and that they be from a point that's earlier than wherever I currently am in the story. So if I'm in the middle of the Enies Lobby Arc don't request a scene of Ricky meeting one of the Supernovas during the Sabaody Arc.
'Till Next Time…
Peace!
