I apologize for not posting sooner, I had to deal with a few things and I was trying to figure out how the story should go on and where it should end. Most importantly how it should end. But don't worry it won't happen for a little while. Anyway here's the newest chapter for you. Sorry to have kept you waiting!
Smoker tried to save Shura from that strange giant snake; he really did but that stupid Portgas D. Ace got in the way and now Shura was out of his sight and probably dead.
Ace had gotten away as well and Smoker began running around looking for Shura. But soon gave up because Nanohana was much too large to find even a girl and a giant thirty two story snake that seemed hell bent on eating her. He sighed clearly upset at the outcome of things.
But refused to drink because he didn't want Tashigi trying to kill him in his sleep again; with a shudder Smoker tried to block out the half sober memory of Tashigi standing over the end of his bed with a half-crazed look in her eyes holding up a rusty butcher knife in her hand as it gleamed in the moon light.
"Well get them next time Captain!" Tashigi said resting her hand on Smoker's shoulder trying to cheer the older man up. But it only startled him, however Tashigi didn't notice.
To her it didn't seem to do much good. The stress from chasing Luffy around and trying to capture him while trying to save Shura seemed to be over whelming to Smoker in Tashigi's eyes. She felt sorry for him even though she didn't miss Shura that much. Although at times she'd expect Shura pop out of nowhere and scare the living day lights out of her.
But she never did.
Now as we bring our focus back to Shura as she ran away screaming from Manda she saw a cliff up ahead, unlike most sane people who would freak out over seeing a cliff while being chased by a giant snake hell bent on causing Shura to meet her maker. Shura being well you know Shura, didn't even remotely respond sanely, she cried out in joy at the sight of it and sped up to jump off of it.
Manda being as smart as he is stopped and reached out catching Shura in his mouth. He swallowed satisfied that he got rid of the pest and stood there for a moment then saw another Shura falling towards him smirking with a strange jutsu activated that looked like a hammer. "Good bye Manda." Manda heard Shura say with a peculiarly calm voice. Manda heard a faint fizzing sound realizing what happened that he just ate a substitution jutsu that was a log with an explosive tag on it.
It exploded inside of him causing him to lose his balance and fall off the cliff. As he was falling in looked up to see with the strange hammer still in her hand somehow higher than he was in the air. "Prepare to meet my newest jutsu! THE WRATH OF THOR!" Shura shouted then screamed the jutsu name hitting Manda with the strange hammer causing a giant lightning bolt to suddenly come out of the sky. This basically fried Manda and he landed on top of Crocodiles men's ships just as Ace was getting ready to clean them up.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!" Most of the straw hats screamed then saw a black haired figure fall into the water.
"Oh it's just her." Most of them deadpanned, Ace of course not being a part of the crew didn't know what was up with the others but he was surprised to see someone process that much power in one shot. As the merry go sailed up to where Shura was floating on her back in the water it was clear that the very powerful 'wrath of Thor' took a lot out of the world jumping female.
"Oi Shura!" Luffy called from his spot on Merry's head, Shura looked over at Luffy then somehow managed to get a second wind. Faster than anyone could predict that should could go after running around Nanohana and that last jutsu Shura jumped up on the Merry Go and preceded to beat the living hell out of Luffy.
"Oh now I recognize her!" Ace suddenly said causing everyone to wonder what Shura had done so bad that it took her beating Luffy up for Ace to recognize her.
It took Chopper, Sanji, and Zoro to pull Shura off of Luffy because of how livid she was with him. The young captain was now nothing more than a pommeled mess upon the deck. Once Shura calmed down she puffed her cheeks out angrily and flopped onto the deck.
"Stupid bastard." She mumbled glaring over at Luffy, "So, now that you're done beating up my little brother I have to ask if you're the infamous Shura. Luffy talked to me about." Ace said catching Shura's attention; Shura looked him up and down thinking to herself how Ace wasn't bad looking in person. She nodded calmly then Ace laughed roughing up her hair "My little brother has such a cute girlfriend!" He said highly amused with Shura causing Chopper to duck and cover in fear knowing what was going to happen next. Zoro stepped to the side so he wouldn't be in the line of fire and Sanji shouted "I'll protect you Nami-swan and Vivi-chawn!" And Usopp hid behind Zoro.
Shura slowly turned red causing Ace to smile "Aw, did I embarrass you?" He questioned thinking she was adorable, but that thought faded away when he received an upper cut to the chin. "What the hell?" he questioned after he flew back into the outside wall over the kitchen.
"OI! Listen here you cowboy wannabe bastard! I AM NOT LUFFY'S GIRLFRIEND! NOR WILL I EVER BE THAT IDIOT'S GIRLFRIEND!" Shura screamed in such away any Hetalia fan would be reminded of Romano. Ace sweat dropped at this, clearly this girl had anger issues.
But draining one's charka with a new found technic and summoning the snake boss; along with running away from said boss, beating up the idiot who caused it all, Shura's body couldn't take another beat down on a person and Shura fell over right then and there.
"Shura!" Chopper exclaimed running over to see if Shura was alright "Are you okay? How's your ribs?" he exclaimed while Shura groaned "Fuck, I used too much charka. I need rest and food. I haven't eaten all day no thanks to that asshole Luffy." Shura said before passing out. Ace stood up curiously and looked around at the crew "What's Catura?" he questioned only to be corrected by Sanji "Charka, it's what Shura uses to fight. She's the only one who's able to use it though." He explained earning a nod from Ace and then Ace fell over asleep causing everyone to sweat drop.
Of course being stuck on a ship with both Luffy and Shura, they learn not to question as to why Ace just fell over like that.
Elsewhere in Arabasta, Crocodile lit a cigar and breathed in slowly. "Sir, our reports say that the ships docked in Nanohana were destroyed by a mysterious force. Two of the surviving crew mates on the ships claimed they saw a giant snake and the wrath of someone named Thor." Robin aka Miss All Sunday reported flawlessly, just as another figure stepped from the shadows. She was tall and slip built a bit like Robin and had bright red hair and blue eyes. "It's not really all that mysterious Miss All Sunday." She stated walking over earning a glare from Robin and Crocodile. Although Crocodile didn't like the woman she was a good ally.
"Miss New Year, what are you saying?" Crocodile questioned, Miss New Year sat down on Crocodile's desk smirking as she crossed her legs "Have you ever heard of Sekai no Jumpas?" She questioned raising interest in the other two in the room.
Back on the Merry Go, Shura was fast asleep in her room with Chopper watching over her condition quietly.
From what Chopper seen Shura could be very scary and very strong. But she could also be very nice if she wanted to be. He could hardly believe how strong the people were on this ship, but he felt himself in awe at Luffy and Shura's strength.
It was strange to see Shura like this for Chopper; she looked peaceful like she never wanted to wake back up. Carefully Chopper brushed some hair out of Shura's a face, he hoped one day they would be good friends.
Back in Shura's original world her mother Tori was freaking out at what her son Ben had told her. "SHE'S IN WHAT!" She screamed at the top of her lungs, although she was relieved Shura wasn't kidnapped she could help but wonder how the HELL did she manage to get inside an anime?
"See." Ben said opening it to a picture were, Shura stood with two other boys grinning like an idiot. "H-How?" Tori questioned bewildered beyond belief at what she saw, "Mom. It's Shura we're talking about. During her driver's test she parked a car up at tree. Frankly this doesn't really surprise me now that I think about it." Ben stated rather calmly as Tori went back into hysterical mode
"She could've done a million things like get a boyfriend I don't approve of or rob bank! WHY DID SHE CHOOSE TO DO THIS! HOW DID SHE DO IT ANYWAY?" She screamed running around worrying about Shura. Where she was, how she was doing, if she was eating right and whether or not if she was pregnant. Tori stopped on that thought "OH MY GOD! WHAT IF SHE GOT PREGNATE?" She screamed in worry about her baby having a baby. Ben stood there quietly watching his mother run around like a chicken with her head cut off.
Maybe, telling her about Shura being in a graphic novel wasn't the best idea he ever had. But it was most certainly the funniest. Ben paused for a moment then said "I'm thirsty." Then went off to get a soda.
Back in the one piece world, Chopper blinked curiously when the ship had stopped moving then went out to check on what the others were doing leaving Shura in her room alone.
After about five minutes the door slowly creaked open and a boy walked in. He stood there beside Shura's bed chuckling. "Always pushing yourself too hard aren't you. Shura?" He stated fondly pushing some hair to the side. The boy sat down looking much different than before, he still had short black hair and blue eyes but his banes were shorter than Luffy's and his face was much more manly.
"I'm sorry I can't talk to you while you're awake. I wish could. But that would mess with the flow of things." He said seeming clearly upset he couldn't speak to Shura like a normal person, then he chuckled remembering something "I remember one day you barely had any sleep or anything to eat and you still managed to save me from that boulder…" he said smiling softly then he became solemn for a moment "Maybe, me being here will change something. I hope it will. I wish you'd just give up on Minato." He said sighing then he stood up and walked out of the room leaving the door wide open to Shura's room.
When Chopper came back down stairs about ten minutes later he wondered how the door to Shura's room was suddenly wide open. He shrugged it off as the door merely opening because of the ship rocking.
Luffy who had come downs stairs after Sanji beat him up for washing the dishes with dirty rags. Saw a boy who in away looked like him but not quite.
"Hey you!" Luffy shouted racing after him as he rounded a corner somehow catching up to him, the boy stopped and turned around "Who are you and why do you keep bothering Shura!" Luffy exclaimed while the boy grinned at him. "Does me bothering Shura bother you?" He questioned seemly implying something that Luffy couldn't understand. "Of course it does! She's my nakama! If it bothers her than it bothers me! Leave her alone!" Luffy exclaimed not understanding what the boy was implying. His grin turned into a smirk
"Your… Nakama? I find it strange that you imply that Shura's a possession of yours somehow. I suggest Luffy that you figure out what Shura is exactly to you. Because her time here is running out and she'll be off to the next world very soon." He stated knowledgably confusing Luffy even more, of course when Luffy gets confused he solves it with violence so he threw a punch at the guy. And the boy easily caught it "By the way Luffy, my name is Tanaka. You better remember that." He said before disappearing like he was never there in the first place.
At Crocodiles hide out, after informing his assistance of what he wanted to do about the billions being destroyed. He sent both Miss New Year and Miss All Sunday off to stand in front of his window pondering about the concept of a Sekai no Jumpa being in Arabasta. From Miss New Year's information they would make a very good ally, however Miss New Year also stated that Sekai no Jumpas have a tendency to be goodie two shoes. So Crocodile only had one choice, crush the Sekai no Jumpa who had crawled out of the wood work.
He'd crush anyone stupid enough to oppose him.
After Shura healed up she went above deck to see that they were docking once more.
"Ah, Shura I see that you're up and about. Now you can put on your outfit that I got for you!" Sanji said seeing Shura was awake holding up a dancer girl outfit. Shura stared at him for a moment and smiled. "Sanji would you come with me to, help me with my outfit?" She questioned smiling calmly, Sanji of course almost not believing his ears agreed. They went back below deck and after a few crashes and bangs. Sanji came out dressed in the dancer girl outfit and Shura was dressed in Sanji's pervious outfit. "I like what you picked out Sanji, it's very comfortable." She said adjusting the scarf.
Sanji stood there awkwardly not knowing what to think, but then was more concerned with Nami not being in her dancer girl outfit "WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU NAMI-SAN!" He exclaimed earning a strange look from Chopper and Nami. "What happened to me? What happened to you?" She questioned then saw Shura leaning up against the wall in Sanji's old outfit. "Oh, that explains a lot." She deadpanned causing Shura to shout "WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN YOU THIEVING BITCH!" but she was ignored when Sanji cried in misery when he saw Vivi wasn't in her dancer clothes ether.
"What's your problem with girl clothes anyway?" Nami questioned curiously causing Shura to fold her arms "I can't wear them; the guys here will die if they see me in something like that." Chopper walked over and smiled "You can't look that bad in girl clothes Shura! I think you're really pretty even when you're boy clothes!" He said cutely causing Shura to flush, and then she stared off into the other direction.
"That's not what I meant; I meant they'll die from blood loss." She stated although Nami and Chopper didn't seem to get it. Then there was a pause and Shura broke it by saying "Except for Luffy, he has no brain therefore no libido." She added causing Nami and Chopper to get what she was saying.
"Jeez, I thought you had some esteem issues about wearing girls' clothes. But now I see you're just being arrogant as usual." Nami said with her eye brow twitching in irritation, Chopper blinked he understood now but he couldn't imagine Shura in girl clothes to see what she meant. He shrugged it off, and then wondered how Shura could know such a thing and seem so serious about it.
"How do you know that?" He questioned and Shura sighed "Minato almost died when he put a girly kimono on me. It was one of those provocative ones. Don't ask why he had one in his possession it's a long story." Shura stated calmly as if it was a fact of life, Chopper blinked "Oh," was all he said then walked off.
Sanji was now rolling around the deck sulking that his dancing girls plan had back fired on him and now he didn't even have two dancing girls to ogle at. Zoro walked by and sighed "he gets weirder and weirder every day. This keeps up Luffy's going to look normal compared to him." He stated quietly to himself unheard by the sulking love cook. "Sanji get up we're going to be leaving soon." Vivi said trying to cheer the cook up.
"All my dancing girls, gone. Woe is me." Sanji whimpered to himself rolling around, after somehow managing to get Sanji to get over not having his fantasies come true. He got another outfit suitable for the dessert and put it on. Then he began to help out with the preparations of docking and heading off into the dessert.
After Usopp's scene with the Kung Fu Dugongs and Luffy beating them up. Shura decided to do something about Luffy getting followers. She couldn't beat up the Dugongs because they'd start following her. Being still angry with Luffy, Shura jumped down from the ship and grabbed Luffy by the neck whipped him around like a whip causing him to stretch out to unknown lengths and snapping back.
"See that." Shura said to the Dugongs who stared at her in awe, "Now don't follow us and behave." She said with a deadly look in her eye. This caused the Dugongs to cling to one another and dove into the water.
"Wow! Shura that was so fun~! Do it again!" Luffy said with his eyes spinning now on Shura's shoulder laughing. Ace and the others sweat dropped at this.
"Whatever let's just get going." Zoro said taking lead as the others followed, Shura simply carried Luffy on her shoulder who was laughing happily causing Ace to look at his brother strangely.
"Huh." He said in realization over something.
