YO! I'm back! After a long break of writing my book, getting it published, and completing college, I'm back! Now I just need to find a job, bleh! Anyways, this chapter's short because I was trying to remind myself where I was, and trying to get back into the beat of this story. I apologize if this may seem a bit rushed, but it was the best I could come up with at the time. But I hope you guys enjoy it none the less. Not much happens in this chapter- they arrive on Amazon Lilly. So read, enjoy, review!
Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece or Gintama
The atmosphere aboard the Thousand Sunny was awkward to the say the least. While the Strawhat pirates didn't have anything against the Odd-Jobs group per say, there certain things that clashed deeply between the groups. The first thing was between Gintoki, Sanji, Nami, Robin, and Zoro. The permhead made no secret of his attraction towards the two women, but they simply shut him in the brink or just shut themselves in the women's quarters. Zoro kept trying to challenge Gintoki, but the lazy permhead's laziness was driving the marimo crazy with refusal. Lastly, Sanji was about ready to murder Gintoki. His constant demand for sugar ontop of every single one of the chef's dishes was driving him insane; a blasphemy against cooking, Sanji called it. And Gitnoki's come-ons to Nami and Robin didn't help.
Next there was Shinpachi. While the megane didn't have any real problems with anyone; it was driving him crazy with what Luffy, Chopper, and Ussop were doing. While he mainly spent his time in the library reading with Robin, Luffy, Ussop and Chopper kept insisting on kidnapping him and forcing him to tell stories of Odd-Jobs adventures. Also, they wouldn't stop calling him megane, no matter how much he asked them to stop.
But the biggest problems were coming form Sougo and Kagura. Given that Sougo initially collaborated and worked with CP9, they were naturally suspicious of him. Also, the fact that two of his comrades were with the Navy who had their captain's father hostage, also didn't help, and he was also an officer of the law, himself in his own world. Kagura wasn't much better off than Sougo; she was far too rude and opaque for Robin or Nami, and she kept getting into fights with Franky about her accidentally punching holes into the ship. The fights she got into with Luffy didn't help in the slightest. Really, the only one who got along with Odd-Jobs was Brook, and that was because he scared the shit out of them. No, the biggest problem stemmed from the relationship of Kagura and Sougo- their sleeping arrangement.
Really, The Thousand Sunny never had an issue about room arrangement before; hell the history of the Strawhats never had this issue. It was always boys were in one side of the ship, girls were in the other. But the sandy blonde refused to leave it at that, and demanded he slept with Kagura. Which caused a huge argument between him and Sanji; saying that he should also be in the girl's quarters to chaperone them, which earned him a giant lump from Nami. Sougo's retort that he didn't care where the hell he slept so long as Kagura was beside him. Apparently, being deprived form his girlfriend for over a week was making the bishounen on edge. Eventually, everyone compromised and just let the couple sleep in the crow's nest, seeing as how no one was happy that way.
Currently, it was the middle of the day, with about two days of travel left before reaching Amazon Lilly. Shinpachi was currently hanging out with Robin in the library, reading up on the Marineford war; Gintoki was bugging Sanji for sweets while hiding from the marimo and musician, while Franky was busy preparing the damage from Sougo and Kagura's brawls, and Lluffy, Ussop, and Chopper were up to their usual. Which meant…"MEGANE!"
Looking up form his book, he adjusted his glasses. "Again, it's Shinpachi, what do you lot want now?"
"We want to hear another adventure! Tell us another funny one! The one where Permhead turned into a cat with Zura and Gorilla was hysterical!" Ussop yelled.
"Yeah! Tell an action story this time, Megane!" Luffy added.
"Yes! Happy ending!" Chopper finished.
"You'd get in serious trouble for saying that last one, Chopper-kun." Shinpachi shivered, thinking of Tsukuyo. "But anyways, I suppose I can tell you about the Patriot incident."
"Patriot incident? Were you guys getting money for something?" Ussop asked.
"Iya, nothing like that. A blight on creativity, somehow became a fad in Kabukicho. And it all started with a kid's career day." Shinpachi sighed. He noticed an annoyed look at him from the historian. "Oh uh…come one guys, let's go."
Smiling, the woman returned to her reading. "A wise decision, Shimura-kun."
Meanwhile at Alabasta
Umibozu's bald head gleamed n the sunlight as he stared down everyone at the meeting table. In front of him was a Spanish swordsman, a one-armed pirate captain and his crew, a bunch of 'Whitebeard' pirates and their allies, the Alabasta king and guards, and finally- a hot princess! Oh, and he couldn't forget the old doctor and the former admiral! Between the shouting and the arguments, it gave him a headache, but it didn't matter! He didn't give a damn about freedom or justice! All he cared about was how his daughter and that 'boy' had committed the ultimate sin the king's bed, and no one had tried to stop them! His cute daughter, she had become woman in that condemned bed that had been destroyed.
Forcing his anger aside, he spoke. "So now that the party's over, let's get some work done! So the first thing we need to do is establish a strategy to storm Marineford! Any ideas?!"
"Generally storming the place helps." Ace replied.
"That's a brilliant option!" The bald man said. "Any other ideas?"
"If I could interject a word…" Mihawk raised a hand. "We need too discuss the situation of Monkey D. Dragon. Fire Fist, do you have any word from Monkey D. Garp?"
"The crazy old man said he wasn't participating in the war along with us, but he'd be there." Ace scratched the back of his head. "Can't say I agree with the idea though." Consdiering that the old man didn't even bother to life a finger to help him during his own execution, he was less than hopeful for Garp's participation.
"When are the Revolutionaries arriving?" Aokiji spoke up.
"In good time." The old woman spoke. "We'll regroup when we know what positions Whitebeard's ships will be in."
"That reminds me." Aokiji spoke, suddenly remembering Sougo said to him. "There's someone that I think Whitebeard should be worried about." The respective cremates instantly turned to him, for further details. "That other-world officer mentioned something about the man he fought on Drum Island, he said that he had the desire to fight the world's strongest man. Trying to remember his name…had long pinkish-hair in a braid, pale skin…sound familiar to anyone."
"I can confirm that." Umibozu said with a sigh. "That man you're talking about is my son, Yato Kamui, my oldest and most dangerous child. Yeah, he mentioned he wanted to fight this Whitebeard guy too."
"Why does he want to fight Pops?" Ace narrowed his eyes at the baldy.
"It's nothing personal against your captain, it's just him following the Yato way. You see, despite my appearance, I'm not human, and neither is my daughter or son. We are an alien race among the Amanto, the prestigious Yato clan. We're not only known for being the strongest beings in existence, but we're known for seeking out the strongest and fighting them in sudden-death matches. It's nothing personal, I swear; it's just instinct."
"Do you want to fight pops then?" Vista questioned.
"No, I am a trans-universal bounty hunter, I don't have time for petty fights like that. My son on the other hand, is head of a trans-universal space pirate fleet, so just does as he pleases! He always looks for people to fight, regardless of the consequences. As long as their strong he'll fight them, as long as they don't disappoint him in battle, he won't kill them. But I got to warn you, if any of you have witnessed me or my daughter fight…he's a hell of a lot of more vicious. At best, I could tire him out for you, but I can't guarantee a victory." Umibozu explained sadly.
"Kamui-san was with the Navy, so he's bound to be at Dragon's execution." Lucci pointed out. "Can we count on you to take care of Kamui-san?"
"It'll be my pleasure! Together, it'll be a father-daughter fight to the-"
"And now that we're on the subject, does anyone else have any other designated opponents in mind that they want to fight?" Shanks asked.
"I have one." Mihawk spoke, surprising everyone. "I want to fight the head of the Mimiwarigumi, Sasaki Isaburo."
"What about this Takasugi Shinsuke?" Vista asked.
"I believe Sakata-kun has already reserved that slot." Mihawk replied.
"So if we're all agreed then, let's talk strategy." Kurena growled; lord knows they needed one.
Several Days Later- Strawhat Vessel
After a long, sleepless voyage, they FINALLY reached Amazon Lilly; the only ones that got sleep were Kagura & Sougo, Luffy, Chopper, Ussop, Franky, and Brook- to put it simply, the first two were content with their arrangements, and the others simply didn't care. The rest of Odd-Jobs and Strawhats had several sleepless days because of the tension, and were frankly at the breaking point of killing each other.
"I SMELL IT! THE SMELL OF AN ALL WOMAN ISLAND!" Sanji yelled, making Shinpachi and Gintoki stare at him in pity and humiliation.
"Gin-san…do you think it's possible that he believes that if he kills himself through embarrassment, he'll earn the respect of a woman?" Shinpachi asked.
"Now, now, Shinpachi-kun you have to remember that romance in adolescence is a fick thing- like picking the perfect fruit from a tree, only to have it rot after a certain amount of time. Don't worry, his time will come." Gintoki said.
"I see, Gin-san…I understand." Shinpachi sihged.
"AAA! Feels great to be up!" Luffy stretched as he emerged from the men's quarter's in the Thousand Sunny. "Hey! We're at the entrance cove! Robin, could you call in and let them know we're here?"
"Of course, Captain-san." The dark haired beauty went to ready the Den Den Mushi. After several seconds, it connected and Robin spoke. "Hello, this is Nico Robin of the Strawhats, requesting permission to enter the island."
After some static, the Den Den Mushi moved its lips. "Ah yes! You're one of Luffy's crewmates! The dock has been prepared for your arrival, so please come in!"
"Thank you, please expect us in twenty minutes."
With Hancock
Sandersonia, Marigold, and Nyon were staring at the world's greatest beauty in wonder and terror, hoping this wouldn't be the end of all that they knew. Hancock had changed into her ceremonial clothing, with the fur robe with it; she donned herself in her best makeup and jewelry, making her a sight that would put Calypso to shame. "Now then, Luffy-kun will see that I am truly right for him, and that those low-class women are nothing! AHAHAHA!"
"I see, that's good to see you're still confident sister." Sandersonia reasoned.
"Ye! Which reminds me, have a party setup to seize the Thousand Sunny, and thwart thoe two women form the crew! Steal their belongings, find the captain's log, and write their names away! Replace it with my name, for their quarters both will be required for my beauty!"
"So…to insure Luffy will agree to marry you this time, you're stealing the ship?" Nyon sighed. "This is a bad idea…"
"If Oneesama says it must be, then it must be." Marigold shrugged. "Besides, having Lufy around couldn't possibly be a bad thing."
"Luffy isn't the one I'm worried about." Nyon sighed.
Twenty Minutes Later- The Strawhats dock the island
"LADIES! BEAUTIFUL LADIES!" Sanji fired off like a bottle rocket of blood, and was currently bleeding out on the dock.
"OH NO! He relapsed!" Chopper exclaimed.
"Someone get him to the hospital!" Ussop added.
"Sanji!" Luffy cried, and outstretched an arm to pull himself to the dock. "OI! Someone get him help!"
"Great, this is going to be worse than Fishman Island…" Nami sighed, earning a headache.
"Agreed. Let us vie our sanity, while we still can." Robin agreed. "But I am agree to see the ruins here, aren't you Nami-san?"
"I'm more interested in the techniques to kick ass!" Nami laughed.
Meanwhile, Shinpachi and Gintoki were staring off into the beautiful crowd of ladies; unlike Sanji, they were drowning in mental nosebleed bliss. "Gin-san…remember when we first arrived here, and we first thought we were in heaven?"
"Yes."
"I was wrong, this is heaven."
"Agreed, Shinpachi-kun…agreed." Gintoki replied, blood coming out of his nose.
"OI!" Zoro snapped them out of it. He glared at them, before turning away. "Let's go, the captain's hungry, and we have to collect Jinbe."
"Hai, hai…don't let the bandana squeeze your brain." Gintoki scratched the back of his head.
Elsewhere on Amazon Lilly
Jinbe sighed as he locked his up; the female guards lay knocked out by haki, and he quickly put the hood over his head.
"Sorry Luffy-kun…but I'm not read for this yet." He quickly ran into the docking cove, and saw that the Thousand Sunny had already arrived. The second he saw Luffy and the others leave the area, he jumped at his chance and ran onto the ship, intending to steal it. Only to find that he soon would not be alone.
"HURRY! HIME-SAMA SAID TO ERASE THOSE TWO HARPIES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!" Kikyo shouted, and started prodding around the ship. Jinbe stood frozen as he and the Amazon warriors soon found themselves facing each other. "You! What are you doing out of your cell?!"
"ME?! What are you doing, raiding the ship?! Aren't the Strawhats your comrades?!" Jinbe demanded.
"How we conduct ourselves is none of your business!" Kikyo shouted.
"Well whatever! I need this ship, so get off!" Jinbe ordered.
"Absolutely not, we are here under the snake hime's orders, and we will not submit to the likes of you!" The Amazonian greatly declared.
"Fine! Be prepared to be thrown off this ship!" Jinbe got into his fishman karate stance, and then- BANG! Jinbe and Kikyou got knocked out, but falling serving trays…which still had scraps of food on them.
"Keep it down, we're trying to sleep!" A young female voice yelled. Everyone who was conscious looked up to the crow's nest, and saw a pale girl rubbing sleep out of her eyes. She was in a red Chinese dress, and her hair was badly unkempt; there was boy beside her, who leaning his face into her shoulder like it was a pillow.
"Whose awake at this ungodly hour? Who dares disturb me, China?" The young man growled.
The Amazonians stared at the interaction in fascination, though representatives were chosen amongst them to reproduce and find males in the outside world, never, had they seen a relationship in action, especially between a male and female.
Kagura noticed the women staring at her boyfriend and got annoyed; Okita wasn't the only one with a possessive streak. Reaching down, she grabbed a plate and threw it down at them. "Begone, the Queen of Kabukicho and King of Sadists are having quality time together."
"You're supposed to say 'Queen of Sadists' when addressing yourself China." Sougo deadpanned into her shoulder. He slunk back down to the floor of the crows-nest, to where their blankets and clothes lied. A mess of leftovers and dirty plates filled the area; it'd be a hell of a mess to clean up. "Come on China, let's go back to sleep."
"I'm with you, uh-huh!" She disappeared from the intruder's sight, and went back asleep beside her lover, or at least tried to.
"DON'T IGNORE US! WE'RE TRYING TO STEAL THE SHIP!" The women shouted.
"WE DON'T CARE! JUST DON'T WAKE US UP!" Kagura shouted. Honestly, couldn't these losers be a bit quieter? Going back to sleep, Kagura attempted to ignore the morons again.
Meanwhile, the women were strategizing. "Okay, we cannot allow what happened here to pass, Amazon Lilly would lose face! We cannot lose to an outsider!"
"Yes! We'll expel them from the ship and then continue our task!" Another woman confirmed.
Now, like a classic cartoon; these stupid women would try to outwit two master sadists. As if sensing the challenge, both grinned in excitement; roused from the roots of their drowsiness. After all, untrained dogs needed to be swatted with a newspaper now and again.
Review please! Let me know if there's something you guys want me to feature; as I said, I'm trying to get back into the beat of writing this fic. Later! Also, thank you for your support and patience!
