NOTICE! I do not own anything in this fanfiction, save for two characters.

I'm sorry I made you guys wait so long! I'm too easily distracted...

"All right, boys! Let's get 'em!" shouted a clown-dressed pirate. He was known infamously as Buggy the Clown, and his crew, the Buggy Pirates, was attacking the J.P.H. Wonderlust!

"Captain!" Hammer Bro shouted from the Crow's Nest, "Enemy approaching!"

Midna and Chopper could both see them. Poor Chopper was scared out of his skin!

Midna kept her head, however, and flew over to the helm, shouting, "Evasive action, Turnbuckle!"

"Aye, Cap'n!" Turnbuckle shouted, trying to steer the ship away from the pirates, but to no avail. The pirates got right next to the Wonderlust and boarded!

The Wonderlust's members seemed pleased. They were looking for action, and now was the time!

As the Pirates, including the captain, attacked, so did the Wonderlust's crew, and each one fought differently.

Buggy had eaten the Bara Bara Fruit, which would allow the user's body to not only be immune to cuts, but also to be able to seperate into pieces and move them at will! That was what Buggy was doing! His higher-authority crewmates, Mohji, Cabaji, and Alvida, weren't excluded from the fight.

Mohji and his enormous lion, Richie, fought tooth and claw (of course), with his master riding on top and using his whip on opponents. Cabaji was a swordsman who used many weapons.

Alvida ate the Sube Sube Fruit, not only making her thin, but also allowing her body to be slippery, causing all objects to virtually slide off her body, and thus, protecting her completely. But it only worked if she wasn't ambushed. Anyway, she used her ability to slide around, using her mace to bash opponents.

Of course, the crew of the Wonderlust wasn't defenseless.

Midna fought using many strange abilities, like using her hair -- yes, her HAIR -- to actually suck out pirates' energy!

Mud was made of stone, so all he had to do was punch them. He detested brawling, but right now, he had no choice.

Jumba had a huge plasma cannon, and was shooting pirates left and right.

At one point, some pirates chased Chopper into the doctor's office, but GIR scared the pirates away with a hologram of a monster! Chopper remembered to thank GIR for that.

El Gigante was so large, he only needed to push the enemies off the ship!

Randall fought more methodically. He used his camoflouge ability to sneak up on enemies and crack 'em over the head. He defeated Alvida this way.

Wapol used his Baku Baku Fruit powers; he ate cannonballs, turned his tongue into a cannon (he called this "Baku Baku Shock: Tongue Cannon"), and shot the cannonballs at the enemies.

Bowser had fiery breath and spikes on his shell to boot, not to mention he was heavy and had sharp teeth and claws!

Hammer Bro tossed huge hammers, squashing enemies. Zoffski proved he was good with a pistol. Turnbuckle used a machette, Koopa Kid dropped his special magma orbs on enemies, and Salacious took a more animalistic approach; he jumped on enemies and attempted to bite their eyes out!

Soon enough, Chopper got the courage to fight back himself. He used his Heavy Point, punching enemies with his huge fists, and his Walk Point, kicking and using his antlers.

During the fight, Jumba was getting overwhelmed. Hogarth noticed this, and looked around frantically. Then he found a BB Rifle lying around...

BANG! BANG!

He shot metal pellets at the pirates, knocking them out and saving Jumba.

"Thank you, Hogarth," Jumba said, breathing a sigh of relief.

Finally, Wapol shot a cannonball at the Buggy Pirates' ship. That did it. The pirates had to retreat.

"You haven't seen the last of us!" Buggy threatened as he and his ship started sailing away, "Buggy always gets back, sooner or later!"

However, he was proved wrong. He found that they were heading the wrong way, and into something dangerous...

Hammer Bro quickly climbed up to the Crow's Nest and saw where the pirates were headed. Now, he was frightened! "C-Captain! The enemy--!"

Chopper saw what Hammer Bro was scared of.

"They're headed to a-a whirlpool! They're getting sucked in!"

"So are we!" Turnbuckle strained, trying to keep a hold of the helm. But he fell backwards, due to the ship being tilted by the whirlpool's pull.

"OH, NO YOU DON'T!" Midna shouted, grabbing the helm's wheel and straining to steer it away from the whirlpool.

"All hands, fasten your life-lines!" shouted Mud, "And secure all sails! Brace them down, men!"

Everyone rushed to do as they were told. Their lives needed it! By now, Buggy's ship was completely submerged, with some crates spinning around in the whirlpool. The crates were full of small, blue orbs with what looked like clocks on them...

BOOM!

A huge wave rocked the ship, surprising everyone on board and knocking them back!

"What the!?" Midna shouted, "What just happened!?"

Chopper took some binoculars out of his backpack and looked through them at the crates in the whirlpool. "Th-There are Nuclear Time Bombs in those crates!" Chopper exclaimed, turning to Midna, "We were hit by an underwater explosion! My instinct tells me that there's gonna be another explosion in a few seconds, followed by the biggest one of them all!"

Midna's eyes lit up. She had an idea! "Chopper, great work! We'll ride that last explosion out of here!"

"All sails secured, Captain!" Mud shouted.

Midna looked down at the First Officer. "Great!" she answered, "But we're gonna have to release them again!"

"...Aye, Captain!" Mud shouted, a little confused. He turned to the crew. "You heard her, men! Unfurl those sails!"

"WHAT!?" the crew members shouted, "But we just finished tying them down! Make up your freakin' minds!" They angrily went back to unfurl the sails.

"Hogarth!" Midna shouted, "Make sure those life-lines are secured good and tight!"

"Aye-aye, Cap'n!" Hogarth said, and ran off.

Mud went up to help the crew unfurl the sails. He happened to be standing next to Randall atop the "sail-posts" (which isn't really a good thing)...

Hogarth tugged on each life-line, making sure they were secured. When he got the last one, he shouted, "Life-lines secured, Captain!"

"Great!"

BOOM!

The second wave knocked Mud off the sail's post. If his life-line wasn't secured, he would've met a fatal end within the whirlpool. He started to climb back up, but someone came out from behind the sails, holding a knife.

Randall!

He was wearing a mischievious grin as he cut Mud's life-line! He had a grudge against the First Officer ever since his would-be scuffle with Hogarth, and now he was getting back at him!

Mud fell, screaming, into the whirlpool, his cries finally getting drowned out by the roar of the swirling water.

"CAPTAIN!" Chopper screamed, "THE LAST EXPLOSION! HERE IT COMES!"

"Hold on to your life-lines, guys!" Midna shouted, "It's gonna be a bumpy ride!"

Hogarth, Jumba, and GIR all clung to the mast, Jumba shielding the other two as though to sacrifice himself if the whirlpool demanded either of his friends.

As the ship was sucked in, there was a moment of silence. And then...

BOOM!

Out flew the ship, crew and all! The J.P.H. Wonderlust had escaped the whirlpool!

Everyone on board cheered, celebrating their safety and the ones responsible for it. Jumba and the others let go of the mast, breathing a huge sigh of relief.

Unfortunately, this delight was not to last...
