Chapter 3: Island Adventure
Usagi woke up, and looked around then remembered, "Oh right… the future…" she said.
"Good morning." Said Setsuna walking into the room, "So are you going to do something today…"
"I don't know… what is there to do?" asked Usagi, "I don't want to be stuck in this apartment all day…"
"Maybe you should go to either the World of Pirates or the World of Ninja… Naruto has a game room and Luffy's crew knows about him being a Sailor Senshi…" said Setsuna.
"Really why?" asked Usagi.
"It's a long story, Luffy had to transform in front of them at various points…" said Setsuna, "I should also point that Zoro is Luffy's first mate…"
"Oh really… I don't know… maybe if…" said Usagi.
"No Jack Sparrow…" said Setsuna.
"Who?" asked Usagi.
"Oh right… sorry… forgot, Pirates of the Caribbean hadn't come out yet…" said Setsuna.
"Um… okay…" said Usagi.
"Anyway, Luffy's crew isn't stereo typical pirates… a couple of the members are women…" said Setsuna.
"I'll think about it…" said Usagi, "So where do you work?"
"I teach history at Kiyo's school…" said Setsuna.
"Oh…" said Usagi.
"So what do you want for breakfast?" asked Setsuna.
"Anything's good…" said Usagi.
Setsuna made pancakes, after breakfast, Setsuna asked "So where do you want to do?"
"I don't know… I guess it depends on who helps me…" said Usagi.
Setsuna decided to call both Luffy and Naruto… she hoped that Luffy would answer…
In the World of Pirates, Luffy was finally kicked out the dinning room…
"Breakfast's been over for the last 10 minutes!" yelled Sanji, "So no more asking for food!"
"Oh…" pouted Luffy.
That's when his communicator rang, he answered and found Setsuna and black screen of someone who hadn't picked up the communicator yet.
"Luffy before we get started, I'd like to wait for Naruto…" said Setsuna.
"Sure that's okay…" said Luffy.
In the world of Ninjas, Naruto stayed in bed, he was so worried about Hinata that he was depressed… that Sasuke, Arashi and Opal stared at him.
"I have to get to the Academy… if he's still like that later I'll help him get out of bed." said Opal.
Opal left the room and Arashi still couldn't help to worry about his son.
"I know I hate to seem out of the loop… but how close were Naruto and Hinata?" asked Arashi.
"Many people I talked say they were destined for each other…" said Sasuke with a smirk, "Luffy even told me about a time shortly after he awakened as a Sailor Senshi he entered a depression in which he was worried that the others would treat him like a monster if they ever found out… he was even worried that Hinata would as well."
"So what happened?" asked Arashi.
"I heard that Naruto told two people at the same time… and they didn't care… one of them was Hinata." said Sasuke.
"I see…" said Arashi, "Who ever told you what happened was right… they are destined for each other."
That's when they finally noticed Naruto's communicator ringing, Sasuke managed to find it and answer it, to find Setsuna and Luffy.
"Sasuke… where's Naruto…" said Setsuna.
Sasuke sighed, "Hinata went missing and Naruto's depressed about it…" said Sasuke.
"Oh no…" said Setsuna.
"What?" yelled Luffy.
"Everyone thinks it's someone after the Byakugan…" said Sasuke, "And Naruto's extremely depressed right now and won't get out of bed."
Setsuna sighed, "I guess with Naruto like that I don't think Usagi can spend the day him…"
"You need Usagi to spend with someone?" asked Luffy.
Setsuna nodded.
"I have an idea!" yelled Luffy, "Why not send both Usagi and Naruto here… this way Usagi has something to do while I'm at work and Naruto can cheer up."
"Okay…" said Setsuna.
"That sounds like a good idea." said Sasuke.
Everyone hung up their communicators.
"So what happened?" asked Robin approaching the captain.
"Well Naruto's coming… and so is Usagi…" said Luffy.
"Who is Usagi?" asked Robin.
"Well for some reason Neo Queen Serenity before she became a queen somehow came to this time…" said Luffy.
"Wait… Usagi's coming?" asked Ace who over heard it, "Are you sure it wont' mess up history?"
"I don't know it was Setsuna's idea." said Luffy.
"I see…" said Ace.
In the world of Ninja…
"Okay… looks like we have to get Naruto dressed… and get him out of bed…" said Sasuke.
Both Sasuke and Arashi sighed…
Back in the World of the Mamodo Battle…
"So where am I going to go?" asked Usagi.
"You're going to spend the day with Luffy's crew… and Naruto, who's depressed because his girls friend went missing…" said Setsuna.
"Really what happened?" asked Usagi.
"Well his girlfriend is the heiress to a very powerful ninja clan, and everyone thinks it has something to do with a special ninja gift she has." said Setsuna.
"Oh…" said Usagi.
"Don't worry… and besides you should focus on meeting Luffy's crew…" said Setsuna.
"But…" said Usagi who had the image of stereotypical pirates in her head.
"Luffy's crew isn't like that, one bit… and don't worry their nice." said Setsuna.
"Okay… right." said Usagi, "So how I supposed to get there?"
"Remember that time key I gave you?" asked Setsuna.
"yes." said Usagi taking out, "What about it?"
"You see not only it allows safe travel in the time warp but also allows for instant travel anywhere within any of the Worlds other than the Mamodo World…" said Setsuna.
"Really?" said Usagi.
"Well there are a couple places the key can't take you to, but that's only to ensure that there's no abuse." said Setsuna.
"I see…" said Usagi, "So how do I use it?"
"You just say "Take me to" then state the location…" said Setsuna.
"Okay… so where am I going to?" asked Usagi.
"The Thousand Sunny." said Setsuna, "That's the name of Luffy's ship."
"Okay." said Usagi.
"Wait one more thing." said Setsuna.
"What?" asked Usagi.
"The landing is a little rough so you'll need to be careful." said Setsuna.
"Okay. Take me to the Thousand Sunny!" said Usagi.
A time portal opened up above Usagi and sucked her in, a few seconds later Usagi landed hard on some grass.
"Ow…" she thought, "Grass I don't think it worked…" she thought.
"Hey Usagi you okay?" asked Luffy walking up to her.
"I'm fine…" said Usagi, "Wait…"
She saw she was on a lawn… that was on a deck of the ship.
"Oh you must be wondering why there's a lawn right?" asked Luffy, "Franky… our shipwright put it there. I like it." said Luffy.
"Oh…" said Usagi.
"So must be Usagi I heard about." said a voice.
Usagi saw a tall black haired woman (Robin).
"Yes… I am…" said Usagi.
"I'm Robin… it's a pleasure to meet you." said Robin.
"Oh yes." said Usagi getting ready to her hand. That's when several disembodied arms popped out of the ground in a row and shook Usagi's hand… Usagi then fainted.
"I think we forgot to explain the Devil Fruits…" said Luffy with a sweat drop.
"I see…" said Robin.
Meanwhile in the World of Ninja, Arashi and Sasuke fished dressing Naruto.
"You know what I think." said Arashi whipping his brow.
"What?" asked Sasuke.
"I think right now, Naruto's also unconscious…" said Arashi.
"You mean he's not in a catatonic state?" asked Sasuke.
"I think he's with Fluffy and Minako." said Arashi.
"Maybe…" said Sasuke.
Deep within Naruto's mind, Naruto was crying while Minako comforted him.
"Naruto…" said Minako.
"What?" said Naruto.
"I think you should calm down now…" said Minako.
"Why?" asked Naruto whipping away a tear.
"Because I think that your friends want to cheer you up…" said Minako, "And they can't cheer you up if you're depressed here."
"Okay…" said Naruto, "Maybe I'll see Luffy…"
"That would be a great idea." said Minako.
"Okay…" said Naruto disappeared.
Minako sighed as he left… "You wanted him to leave so you wouldn't be tempted… right?" said Kyubi.
"What do you mean?" asked Minako.
"I mean is every second your face to with Naruto, your temped to ask him to use the Venus Clone Jutsu." said Kyubi, "You really want to see her don't you?"
"I do… but I don't think she should know of my existence within Naruto… right now she can't stop thinking about the fall of Crystal Tokyo… and knowing that I'm alive within Naruto… and really here and not just soul would kill her…" said Minako.
Minako began to cry…
"It's times like these that I wish that we can be closer together." said Kyubi.
"Me too…" said Minako.
Naruto woke up in the waking world.
"Good you're okay…" said Arashi.
"Your going to Luffy's so you can get some cheering up done…" said Sasuke, "Getting away from his world will help…"
"Okay…" said Naruto.
Back in the World of Pirates, Usagi had returned to consciences. She saw that Luffy was the only there (Robin thought it would be best if Luffy explained on his own).
"You okay?" asked Luffy, "Because I think I forgot to tell you something important about our world."
"What?" asked Usagi.
"Well you see in this world there are fruits that give people really cool powers! But it's in exchange for never being able to ever swim again…" said Luffy, "Their called Devil Fruits, and Robin ate one that allows her sprout any body part!"
"Oh… that explains the arms." said Usagi.
"Sorry… I could have sword that me or Ace explained it…" said Luffy.
"That's okay!" said Usagi.
"I ate one too…" said Luffy.
"You did…" said Usagi, "I hope it's not a scary as Robin's…" she thought with a sweat drop.
"I ate the Gum Gum Fruit…" said Luffy, "Now I'm a rubber man…" he said stretching his cheeks.
"That's really cool." said Usagi.
"It is…" said Luffy.
That's when another time portal opened up and Naruto fell out.
"Setsuna really need to fix that…" he said getting up.
"Naruto…" said Luffy.
"I know… Hinata…" said Naruto.
"Hinata is that your girlfriend's name?" asked Usagi.
"Yeah…" said Naruto, "I'm just worried that…"
"Don't worry about today!" yelled Luffy, "We're going to cheer you up!"
Usagi laughed… "I can't believe Rei was reincarnated as someone like Luffy…" thought Usagi.
"Hey!" came Nami's voice, "The weather seems to be stabling!"
"Really! All right! Perfect timing!" said Luffy.
"Why… what does that mean?" asked Usagi.
"It means we're near an island! That means adventure!" said Luffy.
"All right!" said Naruto.
"But first! I'll introduce you to everyone on the crew! Come on Usagi!" said Luffy dragging Usagi.
Meanwhile in the World of The Mamodo Battle it was time for Kiyo's History class...
Setsuna sighed while writing something on the board.
"Miss Meioh what's wrong?" asked Mary Lou.
"Oh it's nothing I just broke up with my boyfriend…" said Setsuna.
She turned around the face the chalkboard and all the male students (other than Kyo dancing around while silently cheering). Setsuna turned around and they stopped she looked towards the chalkboard again and they started up again.
"Honestly…" muttered Kiyo.
Back on the Thousand Sunny, Usagi sighed… she was introduced to each member most of them had their quirks, Franky, the Cyborg shipwright who says "Super" a lot and runs on cola, Usopp the lying sharpshooter, Chopper the half reindeer doctor who's really cute (in a teddy bear like way), Sanji the "Love Cook" who flirted with Usagi (which made Luffy surprisingly tug his ear away) and Nami the navigator who's one of the more sane members. She also found out about their bounties, which had nothing do with pillaging, stealing or killing but with fighting the World Government to save Robin.
"This world is weird…" thought Usagi as the ship approached the island.
"So how are you holding up?" said a voice.
Usagi saw a talking cat jump to the railing, the add thing was that this talking cat was female and not Luna nor Dianna, this one was dark grey and had yellow eyes… but Usagi knew she was one of the moon cats judging by her crescent moon.
"Who are you?" asked Usagi.
"I'm Aeries, I'm Luna and Artemis youngest child… so far." said Aeries.
"Oh…" said Usagi, "Wait there's more other than Dianna?"
"There's Hermes… he lives with Kiyo…" said Aeries.
"I see…" said Usagi with a sigh.
"Don't worry about these things each world is weirdness to it…" said Aeries, "I'm just glad I didn't deiced to look for Ranma…"
"Why?" asked Usagi.
"Everyday something weird happens to Ranma… whether it has something to with his curse, his dad doing some to him or something random happening… I would want to be there and it's much better being a ship's cat, occasionally getting to kill a rat than pretending to be a hamster with Ranma." said Aeries.
"What?" asked Usagi.
"Ranma has a fear of cats, he deluded himself into thinking that we're hamsters for some reason." said Aeries.
"Weird…" said Usagi.
"Don't worry Usagi, if one thing I learned while traveling with this crew is that things will always turn out in the end no matter what the odds." said Aeries.
Not too long later the crew landed on the island… it appeared to be quite small and seemed to lack any signs of civilization and seemed to be mostly a thick jungle.
"Listen up!" said Nami, "Right now we need to see if there's anything eatable on this island and see if there is indeed someone living here to see how long the Log Pose Sets for! We also need someone to make sure that Luffy or Naruto doesn't get into any trouble…" said Nami.
"Why bring me into this?" asked Naruto.
"Because you're a lot like Luffy and let's not forget that time last time you came to an island with us…" said Nami.
"Hey that was mostly Luffy! Though I did help him a bit!" said Naruto.
"Do I want to know?" asked Usagi.
"No…" said Usopp shaking his head.
And so they were broken into groups, Robin and Ace went in one direction, then there was Sanji and Nami, while Zoro "babysat" Luffy, Naruto, Usopp, Chopper and Usagi, while Franky and Aeries watched the ship.
"Honestly… why is always me?" asked Zoro.
"My guess it's the massive debt…" said Naruto.
Then there was the sound of a bird coming out the trees which startled Usagi and Usopp causing them, to latch onto the nearest person, in Usagi's case it was Naruto.
Minako laughed in Naruto's mind, "She's just the same as she always…" she said.
"Get off me!" yelled Zoro throwing Usopp of him (he was the one that was closet to Usopp).
Elsewhere on the island Sanji and Nami were walking though the dense jungle, when Nami tripped on a root.
"Nami! Are you okay?" said Sanji.
"I'm fine…" said Nami, "I might need to sit down for a second."
"Of course Nami!" said Sanji, "Do you need help?"
"No thank you." said Nami walking to a nearby fallen tree and using it like a bench, "I doubt there's anyone living on the island."
Sanji turned away from Nami to light a cigarette, "You're probably right…" said Sanji.
"Who are you?" said Nami.
Sanji quickly turned around and saw that Nami seemed to vanish… with out a trace… "Nami!" yelled.
There was no answer, Sanji was extremely worried… especially Nami's "Who are you?", he knew something had happened… he ran to look for someone else… he came across the childish group.
"Hey Sanji! Did you come to tell us it's almost lunch?" asked Luffy.
Sanji responded with a kick to the face.
"No! Nami went missing." said Sanji.
"What? You sure?" asked Zoro.
Sanji explained what happened, that he only took his eyes off for a second, and he heard Nami's sentence.
"That's really strange." said Usopp.
"We have to go look for her! She's probably still on the island!" said Luffy, "Naruto!"
"Don't need to tell me twice…" said Naruto, "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
And with that Naruto multiplied himself.
"Cool!" said Usagi.
"Your not going to faint… are you?" asked the real Naruto.
"No of course not, ninjas a famous for multiplying themselves!" said Usagi.
This made those who knew about Usagi fainting when Robin shook her hand anime fall… which was pretty much and everyone, including the Naruto clones.
After informing everyone else of Nami's disappearance, the entire crew, Usagi, Naruto and his clones began to scour the island in search for the missing navigator.
Meanwhile in a mysterious place, Nami felt herself being shook awake.
"Nami, Nami please wake up!" said a voice.
Nami began to wake up, she saw the person shaking her was Hinata.
"Hinata?" said Nami waking up, "Where are we?"
The last thing she remember was a man appearing from nowhere using strange dust to knock her out while Sanji wasn't looking. She then noticed that she was now wearing the same robe that Hinata wore but orange.
"Good you're awake!" said the man, "See Hinata if I hadn't brought Nami here you would have still thought I was after your silly blood line limit…"
Hinata glared at the Man who began to walk away, "I'll go for the Twix next… two for one is always better…" he then disappeared.
"Hinata? What's going on?" asked Nami.
"I don't know… I was just got here a few minutes ago myself…" said Hinata.
"A few minutes, but you've been gone for nearly a day… at least that's what I heard." said Nami.
"It either means I was asleep… or…" said Hinata.
"We're being held somewhere in Crystal Tokyo." said Nami.
Hinata nodded, knowing it was true.
Back in the world of Pirates, there was a meeting among the Straw Hats, as well as Usagi and Naruto.
"If it's a bounty hunter then they'll come after the rest of us…" said Sanji.
"Well not all of us, I doubt they're go after Ace Chopper, Usopp or Love Cook." said Zoro.
"Hey what the hell am I in the list?" yelled Sanji.
"Have you seen your poster lately?" said Zoro.
Sanji satin depressed in the corner…
"Why is he depressed?" asked Usagi.
"Bounties are often a source of pride for pirates and Master Cook's Wanted poster isn't exactly… perfect." said Robin.
""Right now we should be focused on Nami." Said Luffy, "I'm sure she's fine… but we need to find her right away."
"Wow Luffy your taking this well…" said Naruto.
"As long as you believe that the person you care about is all right, it's going to be fine." said Luffy.
"Your right…" said Naruto nodding, "I'm also going to help you look for Nami as much as I can, Dad and Granny won't let me help look for Hinata… and due to the whole two year training trip ended more than a year early I can't do any missions until a ton of paper work is filled out."
"Thanks!" said Naruto.
"I'll help out too…" said Usagi, "I have no idea when I'll be able to go home, but I would like to help!"
"Oh Usagi! It's so kind of you to help look for Nami!" said Sanji who's eye exploded in a heart.
"What part of you mgith change history if you flirt with her don't you understand?" asked Zoro.
"What was that sword boy?" asked Sanji.
"The tow began to fight yet again… Usagi just sweatdroped at the site.
Meanwhile back in the World of the Mamodo Battle, in Megumi's apartment both Megumi and Tia went to the couch and sat down.
"Tough day…" said Tia.
"You said it." said Megumi.
"It was indeed a tough day." said a voice both of them turned around and saw the main the cloak.
"Who are you?" asked Megumi.
"What are you doing here?" asked Tia.
The man took out power and blew to the two girls faces... both were knocked out.
"Good thing these two were knocked out so easily…" said the man as all three of them disappeared.
With two disappearances and now one knowing they are connected and now Megumi and Tia taken as well who knows what would happen.
Next Time: A third disappearance of friends causes more mysteries... as some begin to suspect they are somehow connected... especially when Dawn disappears... what will happen? Find out next time!
