One Piece
The Demon of Carmallo Island
Chapter 2: B.J. Snooker! The Orb King From The South Blue!
With the exception of Zoro. the Straw Hats looked at their new "guest" Snooker in silence. He didn't seem like a bad guy, but he had a very unusual air about him, and the fact that Zoro was getting ready to cut him to ribbons or his unchanging grin didn't make him look any better. But before Zoro could make any moves, a certain big nose broke the silence.
"So Zoro, do you know this guy or what?" Usopp asked, his knees shaking.
"Yeah." the swordsman replied, "He's B.J. Snooker aka the Orb King, he's a wanted man from the South Blue with a bounty of 20,000,000 Berries on his head, and a master of four forms of Rokushiki."
"Actually Zoro, my bounty has just gone up." Snooker said as he pulled a wanted poster from one of his many coat pockets and handed it to Zoro.
"200,000,000 Berries!?" he screamed.
"That's twice as big as mine!" Luffy said with stars in his eyes, "Are you a pirate Snooker!?"
"Not really, I just like to stir up trouble." Snooker replied as he took a seat next to Robin.
"And just what do you think you're doing!?" Sanji asked angrily, "You can't sit there!"
"And why not?" Snooker asked, his grin still adorning his face.
"That's Nami-san's seat!"
"I don't see her name on it."
"Why you…!"
Sanji lifted his leg with the intent of shoving Snooker off; but before his foot could get off the ground, Snooker grabbed his face and squeezed it, causing him to disappear in a puff of purple smoke, much to everyone's shock.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh, he made Sanji disappear, he made Sanji disappear…!" Chopper screamed while running in circles.
"Awesome!" said Luffy in amazement.
"Not awesome Luffy!" Usopp screamed.
"But he made Sanji disappear just by touching him! How is that not cool!?"
"Well if Mr. Cook is gone, who's going to prepare your meals?" Robin pointed out.
Suddenly realizing the seriousness of the matter, Luffy went from thrilled to freaked out.
"Holy crap you're right! SAAAAANJIIII COOOME BAAAAACK!"
"I'm right here you idiot."
"Huh?"
The crew looked down and found another ball where Sanji once stood. It was blue, as big as a basketball, and had a spiral mark not unlike the cook's curvy eyebrow on it.
"Sanji-kun?" Nami asked, her hands trembling in disbelief.
"Yes Nami-san!?" the ball asked as it joyously bounced.
"He's a ball?" Chopper asked.
"That's right." Snooker said as he picked Sanji up, "He's become another victim of the Ball Ball Fruit."
"Hey put me down!"
"That's why Snooker's a criminal." Zoro explained, "He's able to turn anything he touches into a ball. Objects, people, himself, swirly-browed perv-cooks, you name it."
"I can still hear you Moss-head!" Sanji yelled.
"That's the point Eyebrow-Cook! Anyway, this nut goes from island to island "balling up" anything he can get his hands on and selling it on the black market."
"I'm also one of the world's top 10 pool players." Snooker proudly added.
"I don't care if he can turn them into blocks or toy soldiers!" Luffy yelled, "Change Sanji back right now!"
"Relax, he'll return to normal in a few minutes." Snooker said, "In the meantime, who wants to play Sanjiball?"
"I do, I do, I do!" Luffy, Chopper, & Usopp said.
"No you don't!" Sanji begged, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
But Snooker didn't give the cook a chance to speak and threw him to Usopp.
"Gotcha!"
"Thanks Usopp." Sanji said.
"Usopp I'm open!" Luffy called as he ran to the back of the ship.
"Okay!"
"Wait, what are you….AHHHHHHHHHH!" Sanji cried as he resumed his flight to scenic Luffy's hands.
"This is fun! Nami, catch!"
"YAAAAAAAAY!" Sanji screamed as he flew towards the navigator, "I can't believe it, I'm soaring through the air like an eagle into the arms of my beloved! Dreams, really do come true! Here I come Nami-san!"
But just as Sanji's dreams of Nami holding him in her arms were coming true, a certain Grass-head intercepted him.
"Hey, put me down Crap-swordsman, it's Nami-san's turn!"
"I know, but this is an opportunity too good to pass up." Zoro said with an evil smirk. Putting Sanji on his index finger, Zoro proceeded to spin him like a basketball.
"Whoa…whoa…whoa…whoa…whoa…IIIIII'm geeeeeeeetiiiiiiiing siiiiiiick!"
"You're right Luffy," the swordsman said, "Sanjiball is fun!"
"Not for long." Snooker whispered.
Suddenly, Sanji reverted back to his old self in another puff of purple smoke. Unfortunately Zoro was bouncing him on his head at the time, so Sanji landed on top on him, much to everyone's amusement.
"You okay Sanji?" Chopper asked has he tried to contain his giggling.
"I don't feel so good." a nauseous, green-faced Sanji said as he stumbled off of Zoro.
"Ha ha ha ha haaaa, I like this guy!" Luffy said, "You wanna join my crew Snooker?"
"No he doesn't!" Zoro and Sanji yelled.
"It's true." Snooker replied.
"Whew!" the cook and swordsman sighed.
"Why not!?" the captain whined.
"Because I just got back from Skypiea and I'm tired."
"Say whaaaaaat!?" everyone sans Robin yelled.
Luffy:"Whaaaat, you've been to Skypiea!?"
Snooker:"Yes and it was quite lovely, but I've got something important to tell you…"
Luffy:"Did you get to see Upper Yard!? Have you met Eneru!?"
Snooker:"Luffy, will you shut up and let me speak!?"
Luffy:"Huh, you say something?"
Snooker:"Ahhh, now you made me forget what I was saying!"
Luffy:"On the next One Piece! "Royal Invitation! Party At Carmallo Island!" I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!"
There's chapter 2 of the new and improved story.
