Invader and Pirates
Disclaimer: I am SO sorry that I am not updating as much as I should! Gee, I've had so many great plans for this one and I've held it off for too long. I really don't wanna have to give up on this one.
It had been quite a horrible day in the land of trees… I mean the grand line. Zim had wound up in a world with pirates and was now a part of a goody-two-shoes crew working under the orders of FILTHY humans!
"Can you believe this, Gir?" Zim spat as his robot was jumping on the guest room bed, "I hate the admit it, but in order for me to succeed in my latest plan, I have to cooperate with these stinking humans! But I'll tell you something, Gir, once I have enslaved humanity, it will have all been worth it!"
Soon enough, it was time for the highlight of the typical day at sea for the Straw Hats. Sanji had finally made dinner and everyone was excited… except for Zoro because he's a party pooper.
As such, Zim had no choice but the join the crew. He twitched and chattered his teeth nervously.
"This is quite a predicament," he said while Gir scarfed down an entire steak in one gulp, "I must be able to eat their filthy food without them knowing."
And so he picked up a piece of food slowly with his fork. The crewmembers stopped eating and stared at the alien as he struggled to get it near his mouth.
Then it happened. Zim ate it as the food burned his tongue.
"GAAAAAAHHHH!" he shouted in pain, "DELICIOUS! I'M NORMAL!"
"Wow, that's the best reaction to Sanji's cooking I've ever seen," Usopp said, "He must really like it."
Upon hearing this, Zim was relieved to see that he had not just ruined his plan yet. He sighed with relief and slapped his forehead realizing that there was a much better plan. As such, he picked up his plate of food and walked into the guest room to 'finish' it.
"Wow, he must really love my food," Sanji said as Zoro remarked, "I don't see how he could enjoy this crap."
"What was that, Marimo head?" Sanji retorted as Zoro smirked, "I said that I don't see how he could enjoy your crap!"
"YOU WANNA GO?" the chef spat as the swordsman unsheathed his swords and shouted, "BRING IT!"
The crew just watched as the two battled it out. Luffy was laughing insanely while Chopper was freaking out at the thought of them getting hurt. Robin used a book to ignore the scene while Nami simply ate her food. Franky also started to freak out and wondered if he should stop the fight.
Usopp grinned and said in a Sanji-like voice, "Oh, Zoro, your abs are so manly."
Then he changed to a Zoro voice and stated, "Sanji, you are like a dream come true."
"Oh, Zoro-kun, why won't you make love to me?"
"I'm about to once I shove my sword up your…"
"SHUT UP!" the two pirates spat glaring at Usopp before they went ballistic on him.
Zim heard this noise and groaned. These guys sounded incredibly strong, and if fighting was considered fun, he was in danger.
Soon enough, the crew landed on an island and set out for their usual routines. Sanji, Usopp, Nami and Chopper set off to find supplies for the ship. Zoro stayed behind to keep guard. Robin and Luffy set off to explore but for completely different reasons. Franky decided to buy some materials for the ship.
Zim saw this as an opportunity. He quickly got off the ship and said, "Alright, Gir, now I have time to clear my head! It is obvious that these pirates are most dangerous adversaries. If we were on their bad side, we could wind up dead! But, maybe we could use them. If I manage to take over this world, then maybe they can be my slaves. If not, I'll just vaporize them."
Gir was entertaining a bunch of impressed citizens shouting, "DO A LITTLE DANCE!" just as Zim turned around and noticed him goofing off.
He started to fume at the head and spat, "GIR, STOP THAT FOOLISH DANCING AND GET OVER HERE!"
Gir quickly ran over to his master and shouted, "I LIKE TACOS!" while Zim grumbled and walked along with him.
He just kept walking and talking about world domination when he tripped over something round and hard. He rubbed his head and was about to destroy what he had tripped over when he realized what it was.
"UGH!" he shouted in disgust, "IT'S A FRUIT! GET IT AWAY FROM ME!"
Gir looked at it and picked it up saying, "I'll keep it as a pet!" and placed it under his costume.
"How can you keep something so foul?" Zim asked, "Never mind. It's not like it can hurt me now."
And so he decided to head back to the ship. It was at this very moment that the crew had returned from their errands.
They were about ready to set sail when the strange fruit squeezed out of Gir's disguise and landed in front of them.
"What is that?" Chopper asked while Usopp explained, "It is a strange alien fruit from the depths of space. It came to Earth for the soul purpose of spreading love."
"Really?" Chopper asked while Nami bonked Usopp over the head and explained, "It looks more like a devil fruit. You should know what it looks like, Chopper."
Upon hearing these very words, Zim flipped over towards the fruit all dramatic and cool-like and clutched onto it.
"Zim, what are you doing?" Nami asked while Zim turned to them and shouted, "I SHALL EAT THIS FRUIT, YOU FOOLISH EARTH MONKEYS, AND NOBODY WILL STOP ME!"
"Just shut up and eat it," Zoro wined waking up from his nap, "Nobody else here wants it anyway."
Zim was so relieved. It was incredible how easy this had been. Now he was going to have incredible powers. What powers would he receive, though? Would he be able to rock the earth at his will or perhaps gain the ability to control inanimate objects? Either way, he knew these powers would help him with his plan… his EVIL plan!
He quickly stuffed the fruit into his mouth as it burned his tongue and he shouted, "AUGH! THAT'S TERRIBLE!"
"Yeah, devil fruit doesn't taste good, does it?" Luffy asked as Zim sighed, "It's a good thing I'm not the only one who thinks so… oh god… it's turning in my stomach… AUGH! I'M HUNGRIER NOW!"
Suddenly, Zim's legs turned into a sticky green substance as he seemed to sink towards the ground.
"What is this?" Zim asked while Sanji took a puff of his cigarette and said, "I read about that. That's the Hedoro-Hedoro no Mi. (Slime-Slime Fruit) It allows you to turn into slime."
"What? Slime?" Zim remarked, "Eh? How can I make use of this? This power is useless! I can't do anything with slime! Oh well, I'll just eat another fruit with better powers."
"It's not that easy," Nami explained, "See, once you eat a devil fruit, that's the last one you can eat. If you eat another one, your body will explode."
Zim groaned as Gir started to mess around and threw one of Usopp's balls at Zim. Zim screamed in terror as the ball seeped through his head and came out the other side.
Zim grinned and said, "It would seem that this devil fruit makes me immune to physical attacks. That's convenient. Maybe I can make use of this after all. Gir, it would seem my plan to defeat the humans may succeed after all!"
The crew stared at him upon hearing that remark as the alien laughed and said, "That's just an inside joke that I share with my dog here."
Once again, this horrible lie had actually worked on the crew and he was once again in the clear.
He grimaced and asked, "Say, you, little reindeer man, you've eaten a devil fruit. How can I make this stronger?"
Chopper smiled and said, "Well, everyone in this crew is no super hero, but we all came up with our own attacks to match us best. Maybe you can create attacks out of your devil fruit power."
"Then it shall be done!" Zim shouted as he turned to Gir and spat, "TO THE GUESTROOM!"
And while everyone slept tonight, Zim spent a couple of hours trying to come up with attacks for his new abilities but had only come up with 2, a slime whip and a sticky puddle attack. Yeah, this is a great power he has, very effective.
