Codepece: I am not attempting make any world more dominant. Kizaru may be fast but characters like Obito who can use space-time jutsu can defeat him. I'd say they can easily device a mechanism to trap him, especially due to his weakness to water. At the same time the powers used by One Piece characters are unique and are much more in tune with their powers, eg Caesar who can control it at a molecular level, so they would definitely match up to Naruto characters.
Guest: I didn't know that Japanese associated sneezing to people thinking of you.
Sneezing superstitions though, have too many variations- sneezing when you are about to leave home, sneezing when one makes a statement, sneezing in temples, during pooja or auspicious occasions, snezing odd/even no of times, etc. Too much to really give thought to it.
On Thousand Sunny~~
Luffy flexed his hands, preparing to throw one of his punches. Naruto didn't move at all, but his stance was no longer as easy. Their focus was completely on each other.
Luffy made the first move and ran towards Naruto. "Gum gum, pistol!"
"WAIT!"
Luffy had already launched his attack and could not stop completely. Naruto moved forward, stopping Luffy's punch with one hand. "Luffy, we may have bigger problems to deal with now."
Luffy nodded understanding the change in the air.
The skies darkened in moments, the sea rose up with chaffing waves and wind brought with it an acrid burning smell.
"What is HAPPENING?" Usopp cried out climbing to the watch tower.
"It's a sea of flames! How is that possible?" Robin wondered. Chopper hugged her leg shying away from the flames.
"Yo ho ho ho... this is the perfect time for me to use my 'Chill of the Underworld'!" Brook slashed at the flames closest to Sunny neutralizing them.
Naruto and Zoro were closing the sails to protect it from the wind and stray fire embers. Luffy stood at the head of the ship next to Nami.
"Nami, how do we navigate away from here?" Franky asked, already at Thousand Sunny's wheel, stopping the ship from entering the flames
"The log pose shows that there should be an island right of out location. That should be our best bet."
"SUPER-"
"No." Luffy spoke in his rare 'serious captain voice'. The voice morphed into a child-like voice no sooner than when he turned towards everyone with stars in his eyes. "Let's go to that island!" Luffy pointed at an island smack in the middle of the burning sea.
"Luffy! That's madness!" Usopp shouted from his perch.
"Yea Luffy. It's not even marked on any of the log poses." Nami reasoned with him. In vain.
"No. I smell an adventure there."
A wail filled the air suddenly. Everyone turned to Usopp. "Hey! Why are you all looking at me?"
"PUOHOOOOO! HOHOHOO! PUOHOOOOO"
Sanji came out on to the deck carrying a crying den den mushi.
"Hey, hey,what's wrong? Did you get a stomach ache or something?" Luffy asked, landing next to Sanji
"It must be scared of the island too." Chopper softly said.
"No Chopper. It's a distress call" Robin told. "Wait Luffy! There's a 50% chance that this emergency signal is genuine."
"That means that there's a 50% chance that this is fake and is a trap used by Marines to trap pirates. Be careful Luffy!"
Luffy picked up the call with no hesitation. "Hello, I'm Luffy. The guy who's going to be the pirate king!"
The straw hats crew fell to the ground, 'You said too much'.
"HELPP MEEEEE!" A distraught voice shouted through the den den mushi. "AHH... It's so cold! Is that you boss?"
"No, this isn't your boss. Is it cold there?" Luffy shouted back.
"The crew... keeps getting killed one after another..! They keep getting killed by the samuraiiiiii!"
"Hey! What's your name? Where are you?!"
"I don't care who comes. Just please, someone... help us. We are on PUNK HAZARD!"
AN: Well there it is. Now people have a better idea of what'c coming next. This includes arcs from One Piece but WILL have a lot of AU elements.
