One Piece
The Demon of Carmallo Island
Chapter 9: Nami & Usopp VS Ahiru! A Battle Of Gadgets & Gizmos!
For some reason, whenever I try to submit the document and fix it, it always comes out funky. To the admins, could you please do something that?
Back over by the dining room, Zoro and Amarië were wandering the halls searching for their friends.
"So Zoro, where exactly are we going?" the ex-Shinigami captain asked.
"Knowing Luffy, he probably snuck off to the kitchen to raid the fridge."
"What kind of captain has a snack while his crew is in danger!"
"His Sin Crest." Zoro replied.
"His Sin Crest?"
"During our battle, I felt the need to announce to the entire world how great a swordsman I was." Zoro explained, "I may be prideful, but I don't boast."
"What's your point?"
"The crests can make their victims sin can't they?"
"Sort of." Amarië answered, "The crests occasionally hack their victim's nervous system, manipulating their personality to suit the its purpose."
"So in other words, we're screwed."
"More or less."
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" a familiar voice rang out.
"What the…?"
"What was that?" Amarië asked.
"Yup, right on schedule." Zoro said, unsurprised.
"My tongue's on fire!"
There was Luffy, running like a maniac and waving his arms back and forth while his crest sapped his sinergy.
"Luffy slow down!" Zoro yelled, but Luffy didn't hear him and continued running.
"Waaaaaaaaaaaateeeeeeeeeeeer!"
"Luffy!" Zoro called as he chased after his captain.
"It's official," Amarië said, tear waterfalls pouring down her face, "we're all gonna die."
"Great, just great!" Robin complained, "We turn our backs for one lousy second and that idiot goes and gets himself lost!"
"Robin calm down!" Usopp said.
"Why don't you make me Nose-boy!? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Robin fell over and began writing in agony as her crest activated again.
"Robin!" Nami said.
"No more, make it stop!" Robin begged.
"(Poor thing.)" Sanji thought.
While everyone's attention was directed toward Robin, a disgusting sound caught Chopper's.
"Hmmmmm?"
It was kind of like liquid magma bubbling and churning in a volcano. If the reindeer could pick one word to describe it, he'd pick…sludgy.
"What is it Chopper?" Usopp asked.
"That noise…"
"What noise…?" Sanji asked.
"Shhhhhhhh, it's getting closer."
Everyone stayed quiet so they could listen for the sound Chopper was talking about, but no one heard a peep.
"Mr. Doctor, I don't here anything." Robin said as she looked around.
When Robin's eyes returned to the others, they were staring with their mouths hanging open.
"What?" the scholar asked.
"That." Usopp said, pointing behind Robin. The scholar turned around and was greeted by the sight of an enormous blob of blackish-brown sludge.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh monsteeeeeeeeeeeeeeer!" they all yelled.
Suddenly, a massive tentacle shot out of the blob and grabbed Robin.
"Robin-chan!"
"Mr. Cook, help me!" Robin screamed as the blob ran (crawled?) off with her.
"Let Robin-chan go you giant pile of pig slop!" Sanji said as he gave chase.
"Wait for me Sanji, I wanna save the day too!" Chopper called as he ran off to join him.
"Come on Usopp!" Nami called.
"Right!"
But before the marksman and navigator could join Sanji and Chopper, a bright light shone from the ceiling.
"What the heck!?" Nami said as she shielded her eyes.
"Nami look, we're floating!"
Looking down, Nami saw that she and Usopp were starting to rise off the ground.
"Wh-What's going on!?"
"We're being abducted by aliens!" Usopp screamed as they vanished.
A few minutes later, Nami and Usopp reappeared.
"No, please don't hurt me mighty overlords!" Usopp pleaded.
"Usopp…"
"Spare me and I shall be your servant!"
"Usopp…"
"I don't wanna be dissected!"
"Usopp!"
"What is it Nami, can't you see I'm…Huh?"
Usopp surveyed the area, they weren't in a UFO, they were in an enormous room with light blue walls and a black-and-white checkerboard floor. The room was completely empty, no paintings, no furniture, just a few enormous windows and a ceiling chandelier.
"What is this place?" Usopp asked.
"Maybe it's a game room," Nami said, "there's certainly enough room for it to be."
"An interesting idea, but you're wrong."
Suddenly, the same light that "abducted" Usopp and Nami shone again, bigger and brighter than ever, and a young girl and a giant robot began to materialize. The girl was five feet tall and looked around 16 years old. She had short, blonde hair, green eyes, and dressed like a WWII pilot. But what really stood out were here giant glasses.
The robot was even more bizarre. It was 25-30 feet tall with a humanoid shape, appeared to be made of bronze, and resembled a suit of medieval armor, with the exception of it's head. The head wore what appeared to be a helmet that covered everything but a pair of blank eyes with a vaguely funnel-shaped top.
"Salutations." the girl said.
"Ummmm hello." greeted the puzzled Usopp.
"Who are you?" Nami asked.
"My name is Ahiru." the girl cheerfully replied, "I'm one of Count Koma's Terrorlords, and I've been ordered to destroy you! What's your name?"
"I'm the fearless ocean warrior Captain Usopp," the marksman lied, "and this is my lovely assistant Nami!"
"She's not gonna fall for that you…!"
"Wow, that's so cool!" Ahiru said, her eyes twinkling with awe.
"It is…? I mean of course it is!" Usopp said.
"Why's an airhead like her working for Count Koma?" Nami thought.
"Oooh, what's that!?" Ahiru said, pointing to the Climatact pieces attached to Nami's leg.
"What, this?"
"Yeah, what is it!? It looks so cool!"
"That's Nami's Climatact," Usopp said proudly, "it's a super-powerful weapon of my own invention that uses the environment and weather to…"
"Quiet you moron!" Nami yelled as she pounded Usopp on the head with her weapon.
"Excuse me, Miss Nami!"
"What is it Ahiru?" Nami asked.
"Could I borrow your Climatact pretty please? I wanna see how it works."
"Are you crazy why the hell would I…"
Suddenly, Nami had a brilliant idea.
"I have a better idea Ahiru, how about I show you how it works." Nami suggested.
"Really, you'd do that!?"
"Sure, now watch closely."
Nami separated the Climatact's different poles and pressed some buttons on each one, causing them to spout water like a sprinkler.
"That's it?" Ahiru asked.
"No not yet."
Nami took one of the poles and blew into it, creating a Cool Ball. Then she blew into another pole and created a Heat Ball.
"It can blow colored bubbles too?" Ahiru asked, "That's nice, but I have to admit, I was expecting something a little more exciting."
"Then what's that?" Nami said.
Ahiru looked up and saw that the heated and cooled air created by the bubbles had caused the moisture in the air to condense into a small cloud.
"It can create clouds!? That's amazing!" Ahiru said as she gawked in wonder like a little kid.
"I can make it bigger too!"
"You can!?"
"'Yup, watch this!" Nami said as she took the Heat and Cool poles and twirled them like batons, releasing dozens of Heat and Cool Balls into the cloud, causing it to grow to massive proportions.
"Preeeeeetty!" Ahiru said in awe.
"Thunderbolt Tempo!"
Nami fired a yellow Thunder Ball into the cloud, electrifying it.
"Uhoh!"
Without warning, the cloud shot a lightning bolt out at Ahiru, electrocuting her.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"Now Usopp!"
"Right! Deluxe Tabasco Star!"
Usopp fired a Tabasco sauce filled pellet into the screaming Ahiru's mouth. When the lightning stopped, Ahiru just stood there triumphantly.
"Haaaaaaaaa, your plan didn't wor…" Ahiru's face began to turn red, and smoke poured out her ears, then she opened her mouth and fire spewed out.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh, my mouth is on fire, my mouth is on fire, my mouth is on fire…!" she yelled as she danced like nut.
"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
While Ahiru was jumping and dancing around like a maniac, Nami & Usopp charged toward her at full force with the intent to jump her.
"Just kidding!" Ahiru said as she pulled out a yellow kitchen sponge from her coat pocket and gave it a squeeze. But instead of water coming out, the sponge fired a barrage of lightning at the pirates, shocking them.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Nami and Usopp screamed as they fell to the ground.
"It's a good thing Count Koma did a little research on you guys, otherwise I'd have never got the chance to use my new Electrosponge!" Ahiru said.
"Research!?" Usopp said in disbelief.
"Duh, the count knows all about your abilities and adventures, including your trip to Skypiea." Ahiru explained, "How else would I know to bring something that could counter electricity?"
"Of course, how could I be so stupid!?" Nami thought.
"Thanks for the electricity Nami," Ahiru said, "now I can show you my inventions!"
"Wait a minute, your inventions!?" Nami asked.
"Yup." Ahiru replied as she used her Electrosponge on the robot, "Now tremble at the awesome power of Camelot-X!"
Nami & Usopp watched as the robot's eyes lit up with yellow light and the tip of it's foot lift up.
"Ohno." Usopp said.
"Oh yes!" Ahiru said as she entered Camelot-X through it's foot. As it's foot closed, the robot's chest opened up.
"Now what!?" Nami said. Suddenly, smaller versions of Camelot-X began hopping out.
"Camelites, attack!" Ahiru called out through a mic she had with her. The robots obeyed and began chasing after the pirates.
"I sure hope the others don't have to put up with this!" Usopp said.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, locusts!" Chopper yelled.
While Nami & Usopp were dealing with Ahiru, Chopper & Sanji had lost the blob monster and somehow found themselves being chased by a swarm of locusts with poison stingers.
"Geez hasn't Count Koma ever heard of fumigators!?" Sanji yelled.
"They probably ran away screaming!"
"Shuriken Shooting Star!"
Usopp fired a barrage of shurikens at the robots.
"Cyclone Tempo!"
Nami launched the Heat & Cool poles of her Climtact like a boomerang, blowing most of them away.
"Go ahead and trash my robots all you want," Ahiru yelled, "I'll just send out more!"
Camelot-X's chest opened again, sending out more Camelites.
"Damn!"
"We can't beat all these robots!"
"Haaaahahahahahahaaaahahahahaha!" Ahiru giggled. But while she was giggling, a giant, black ball broke through the wall and into Camelot-X.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" she yelled as her robot fell over. The ball then proceeded to roll along the floor, crushing all the remaining robots before exploding in a cloud of green smoke.
"Looks I showed up just in time." a familiar voice said.
"That voice…!" Usopp said.
As the cloud settled, a figure slowly advanced toward them, and Nami & Usopp were greeted by the smiling face of…
"Snooker!?"
Snooker:"So the Count's putting his plan into action eh?"
Nami:Wait, you knew about this!?"
Snooker:"Yes."
Usopp:"Then why the hell did you bring us here!?"
Snooker:"Ummm Usopp, if I were you I'd stop arguing with me and focus on the clinking, clattering hunk of scrap about to step on us."
Usopp:"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Luffy:"On the next One Piece! "Snooker Snaps! Squares Are The Devil!" I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!"
