The Bear Eared Man and New Marine Foe Arrive!

17 smiled and raised one of his hands, but the two guys got shot down by two shots. The two looked back and saw a tall, blond haired man that wore a long blood red cloak and had a large cross on his back and a large pistol on his shoulder.

"What is it and these crazy people…" 17 muttered as he leapt off the tree. The red suited man somehow tripped... in the air. He spiraled to the ground, shouting for help. Chiaotzu put his stuff down neatly and flew up to get the man who was crying like a baby as he fell. He caught him and slowly descended towards the ground, looking at the man who was crying like a baby.

"Vash!" Shouted two women who were nearby, running to him. The orange suited guy landed infront of 17 and smiled.

Brook was out with Usopp and Nami getting some fabrics and weapons for themselves.

" Do you think we should get new outfits?" Asked Nami, looking at her shorts. Brook looked at Nami, and opened his mouth, but Nami spoke first, " if you ask me that question one more time, I will throw you into the ocean." Brook closed his mouth, and hung his head, and Nami found a clothes shop and ran to it, looking for new clothes.

"These guys are kind of weird, why is that Afro guy wearing a skeleton costume?" Asked Trunks to Goten. Goten shrugged, and they looked at Usopp , and he looked back at them.

"Why is that man with the Afro wearing a skeleton costume?" Asked Goten.

"Oh, he is not wearing a costume, he is dead." Laughed Usopp, and they looked at eachother in disbeliefe and shrugged, walking away.

"Haven't they ever seen a dead guy before?" Said Brook, looking them.

" Well maybe not everyone will react the same as we did.." Stated Usopp, sighing.

"Well we should do something..." Trunks said, looking around.

"Well guys, what do you think?" Asked Nami, exiting the shop in a yellow shirt with an orange flower with a blue bud, blue shorts, and brown sandals. Usopp nodded and entered the same shop.

"Where are those two?" Asked Nami, looking at the Brook.

"They left after Usopp told them I was dead and not wearing a costume." Said Brook, shrugging. The two continued to walk until Goten ran into something, falling over.

"Ow! My head... What did we hit?" moaned Goten, as he looked up to see the suit looking down at him. It brought its hand down to help him up and a voice echoed from inside.

"Are you guys okay?" Trunks grabbed the hand and threw the metal suit behind him and it soared into an abandoned building. The outer wall exploded, sending bricks clattering around, before the entire building itself collapsed. Edward, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Brook, Trunks, and Inuyasha looked in the direction of the explosion and ran to it. Trunks was firing High Powered Energy Volleys at the collapsed building and the surrounding people were watching in horror. Gohan stopped Trunks and they looked at the smoke and Trunks eyes got wide.

"No way…" he said, and staggered back, as Alphones Elric walked out of the smoke, his suit completely unharmed. His eyes were glowing red as the smoke cleared and he walked over, the ground shaking with every step he took.

"AL!" shouted Edward and he ran to his brother and then he walked beside him, and the two stopped and stomped their feet. Al stomped his right foot, and Ed stomped his left foot and the two stood diagonally, their shoulders touching, in a sense. Dust rose from their feet and Inuyasha walked forward and stabbed his sword into the ground a huge explosion came from behind him and Usopp and Nami flinched as Zoro squinted, as four figures walked out. The first one was a black haired girl, carrying a bow and was in a school girls outfit, the skirt had a green lacing, and she had a red tie, which was tucked into her shirt. The second was a short, orange haired kid with a big bushy tail. The third was a black haired girl with a large boomerang on her back and what looked like a black skin-tight suit that had a decided mainland flavor, and apparent armor-plates made of demon parts. The fourth was a talk, black haired man, who wore purple robes, and carried a golden staff and purple beads, much smaller than the ones around Inuyashas' neck. Sanji walked around, trying to find 17 and Chiaotzu, only to find Zoro, Nami, Brook, and Usopp watching something.

"What's' going o-" started Sanji, walking over, but his question was answered almost immediately. His cigarette that he had had in his mouth fell to the ground and the ashes were swept away by the wind. His eyes got wide as he saw what they were watching.

Vegeta, Luffy, Roshi, Robin, and 16 had stayed on the ship. Luffy was below deck, showing Roshi and 16 around the ship.

"This is our aquarium. If we are at sea, and can't catch any fish, we just pick them out from here." Said Luffy, waving his arms at the aquarium. 16 smiled and watched the fish. Luffy continued to show the two around the ship, and Vegeta was above deck, sulking.

"So, I take it you have a problem with our ship?" asked Robin, looking at Vegeta, and he turned around, and said,

"Not only do I not like your ship, have a problem with all of you! I should not be expected to stay with you people! You're freaks! You're inferiors! I am supposed to be out there fighting! Not stuck here on this piece of shit you call a SHIP!" Robin, frowned slightly and was going to speak, when she heard someone below.

"Oi! We got the stuff, where would you like us to put it? That other man, what ever his name is, is getting some fish!" yelled 17, his clothes burnt and ripped, some blood on his lip.

"His name is Sanji, sir. Now load the food up" she said, and she put down the board that they used to exit and get on the ship with.

"Why can't we fly up and bring it? It would take less time." said 17, loading some apples and oranges.

"Well you can, but some of us can't fly you see..." she teased and giggled.

Franky walked out of the shop with an arm full of metal parts, while Goku, Piccolo, Krillen, and Tien walked to the shore with loads of wood. They placed all of the resources for a ship repair, on the sand and went to get more, while Franky began to feel around the ship, knocking on the wood.

"This is fun! I like being part of this, what did he call it... crew!" said Goku, carrying at least fifteen long pieces of wood. Piccolo grunted and Krillen said,

"Yea, I don't mind it. I mean they seem nice, they couldn't be bad guys, could they?" He looked around and the others shrugged and trudged on to place the wood on the sand.

"Hey! Thanks for helping you guys. By the way, I am Franky, the mechanic of the ship." said Franky, getting his hammer out.

"So, where do we sleep on this ship?" asked 16, looking at the small sleeping quarters.

"I am not sure yet, but we will find out a place for you guys, don't worry!" answered Luffy, grinning. He was about to show them the kitchen, when an explosion from outside drew his attention. He, 16, and Master Roshi rushed upstairs and looked out on the island. The smoked was rising from the market district of the town.

"What's going on?" shouted Luffy, and Franky looked up.

"I am not sure, the explosion just happened!"

"Where is Nami? Sanji? Zoro? Usopp? Brook?" he yelled and Franky shrugged. Luffy looked at Robin and she nodded. She created two poles of her hand on the side of the ship and Luffy attached his hands to them and he ran back.

"Gomu-Gomu-No…" he started.

"Hana-Hana…" Robin started.

"Roketto(Rocket)!" shouted Luffy and he whipped forward.

"Misairu Hassha Sochi( Missile Launcher )!" Shouted Robin, and she let go of Luffy's hand, as Luffy shot into the air towards the smoke

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Navy Headquarters~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Sir! We just got word of The Straw-Hat pirates! They on the northern part of Shuru island!" said a navy officer, entering the quarters.

"Then send out some ships! Don't just stand there, if we hurry, we may be able to catch him!" roared the captain, and the officer saluted and ran out the door.

"Monkey D. Luffy… At long last, I will put you in prison, along with your other meddlesome crew…" he turned to another man in the room and nodded.

"You know what to do.." The captain said, crossing his arms, the other man looking up, his blue eyes in the light, half lidded and blank.

"Yes sir. "

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Shuru Island~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Luffy soared in the air and approached the smoke. He looked down and shot his hands down and grabbed the sides of two buildings. Nami and Zoro jumped and looked up.

"Luffy!" the two shouted and Luffy rocketed down and smashed into Ed and Al. The two fell and Inuyasha, Kagome, Songo, Miroku, and Shippo leaped back.

"What was that?" Shouted Meroku, looking up.

"Oioioioioiiiii! That was a rough landing!" came Luffys' voice, and the smoked cleared. He looked down and saw Al and his eyes got wide.

"EHHH! It is a Celestial Knight!" he screamed and arched his arm and brought it down on, but Al grabbed it and threw him off.

"I am no Celestial Knight, what ever that is!" shouted Al, and Ed looked at Luffy, in his red vest, and blue pants.

"Who are you?" asked Ed, adjusting his glove.

"I am Monkey D. Luffy." said Luffy, cracking his knuckles. Ed continued to look at him and then they looked up at the top of a building to see the same yellow haired guy that saved 17, and beside him was a black haired kid with a uni-brow. He was wearing a green suit with a headband around his waist. He was also wearing black things on his ankles and wore palm gloves. There was a Pink haired girl, who had a red head band and a pink and red robe. Then, Vash leaped out with Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson, and his glasses glistened in the sunlight.

Not to long after Vash came, Franky, 17, Chiaotzu, Robin, Roshi, 16, 18, Chopper, Goku, Tien, Gohan, Videl, Piccolo, and Krillen came and stood by the Straw Hats. Naruto, Rock Lee, and Sakura Leapt from the building and ran towards Ed and Al, while they ran towards Naruto. Inuyasha, Kagome, Songo, Meroku, and Shippo charged at Vash and Vash ran towards Luffy and the E.S.F followed Luffy. When the big fight was about to begin, a large explosion came from the center, and threw everyone off their feet.

"What the hell was that?" Shouted Luffy, looking to where the explosion happened. His eyes got wide any began to stutter. Nami looked at him and she, too began to stammer when she looked into the center.

"It can't be…" whispered Nami. Then the whole crew shouted,

"BARTHOLOMEW KUMA!" they all shouted as one of the pirate warlords, Bartholomew Kuma, stepped out from the smoke, bible in his hand.
