The next morning, Luffy woke up in his room to hear the sound of Sekhmet and Usopp laughing. Luffy walked out of the motel to see Sekhmet roller-skating on a newly paved street.
"Wow," Luffy gasped.
"Morning Luffy! Check out this fancy new road Rob Lucci just made!" Sekhmet hollered.
"Yeah, awesome!" Luffy exclaimed, his eyes glowing in amazement.
Franky stood on the asphalt and converted his legs into tank wheels. "Yeah," he said.
"Franky, I haven't seen you use your tank legs in a long time," Robin said.
"I haven't seen a road like this in a long time," Franky said.
Robin got into Franky's lap and said, "Then lets drive around."
"Super nice and slow," Franky said.
"It's beautiful! It looks as if it were paved by angels!" Brook exclaimed.
"Yeah, I bet the roads on the moon are not this smooth!" Usopp exclaimed as he rode his motorcycle around.
"Hey Sekhmet, you haven't used your roller skates in a long time, you know!"
"Yeah, it's because the road was always too bumpy!" Sekhmet stated. "Dad! Watch me skate a figure eight!"
"I'm watching, I'm watching," Jabra hollered back to his daughter.
Kaku smiled and did a little laugh.
At that point, Iceberg came out of the clinic.
"Ice Pops! Look at this! You should've tossed him into a cactus sooner!" Luffy exclaimed.
"Mwell, he's not finished yet. He still has a long way to go," Iceberg said.
Brook whipped out a unicycle and started to ride it around. "Laboon! Look! I can ride my unicycle! This is amazing!" the skeleton shouted.
"Granny! I can ride my bike without falling over now!" the little girl named Chimney exclaimed as she rode around on her bike.
"Nya!" the rabbit named Gonbe meowed from a basket attached to the front.
"That looks like fun! Usopp, I got dibs on the motorbike next!" Luffy shouted, as he ran onto the new road.
"Hey Brook, this new road makes your place look like a dump. Nagagaga," Kokoro laughed.
"Ah, that crazy devil woman!" Brook shouted angrily, until he saw his tire shop and compared it to the road. "Oh, but she's right!" the skeleton cried as Luffy sped by on the motorbike, cheering, "Woo-hoo! Yeah!"
Iceberg looked at the road and smiled, "Heh, that kid actually did a good job." Then Iceberg nobody was attached to Bessie and Lucci was nowhere in sight. "Well now, where the heck is he?" he wondered.
Meanwhile, at Willie's Butte, Lucci was driving around on the dirt track. Iceberg walked there and found Paulie standing on the ledge, looking at what Lucci was doing.
"Paulie, is he making another run for it?" Iceberg asked the cop.
"Nope, he ran out of asphalt, and asked if he could come out here. He's still trying to make that turn over there," Paulie explained, pointing at the turn where Lucci always screwed up on where Lucci went spinning.
"Oh great! Perfect turns on every track I ever raced on!" Lucci shouted angrily.
Iceberg watched Lucci as he kept trying to get the turn right. "Paulie, why don't you get yourself a cup of coffee at Robin and Nami's café? I'll keep an eye on him," Iceberg said.
"Well thanks Iceberg! I've been feeling like I need a cup of coffee," Paulie said happily as he walked away.
Lucci then tried the turn right again, this time, crashing into some desert plants and ended up with his car covered in sand and a tumbleweed on the roof. Lucci stuck his hand out of the window to pull it off and tried to dust some of the sand that got inside the car off of his uniform and seat.
Iceberg then walked up to him. "This isn't asphalt, son. This is dirt," Iceberg stated.
"Oh great," Lucci groaned. "What do you want? You here to gloat?"
"You don't have three-wheel brakes, so you got to pitch it hard, break it loose and then just drive it with the throttle. Give it too much, you'll be outta the dirt and into the tulips," Iceberg explained.
Lucci was surprised to hear advice like that come out of Iceberg's mouth. "So you're a judge, a doctor, and a racing expert?" he asked.
"I'll put it simple; if you going hard enough left, you'll find yourself turning right," Iceberg stated.
"Oh, right, that makes perfect sense. Turn right to go left. Yes! Thank you! Or should I say no thank you? Because in Opposite world, that probably means thank you!" Lucci sneered as he jumped back into his car and drove off, leaving Iceberg in the dust. "Crazy old man. What an idiot!" Lucci said to himself.
Iceberg sighed as he went back up the ledge.
Lucci watched him leave and said to himself, "Turn right to go left. Hmm." Lucci turned left and ended up driving down another slope and ending up crashing into cacti again. "Whoa, ooooowwww," he groaned as a tall cactus fell down the slope and landed on the car. "Oh come on!" he shouted.
Back in Galley-La, Lucci was pulling Bessie, with dirt and cactus all over his car and his uniform was dirty and his hair was mussed up.
"Turn right to go left. Guess what? I tried it. And you know what? This crazy thing happened. I went right!" he shouted to himself.
"You keep talking to yourself and people are going to think you're crazy," Kokoro said.
"Thanks for the tip," Lucci sneered.
"Huh? I wasn't talking to you," Kokoro said.
Luffy watched Lucci pave the road and glanced at Laboon, who was painting the window frames outside on the tire shop.
Usopp and Sekhmet were pulling a sign that said "Usopp's Towing and Salvage", which was leaning a little to the right. They pulled it until Usopp let out a loud fart.
"Oh lord," Usopp said, as he and Sekhmet released the rope pulling the sign. The sign leaned to the left.
"Hehehe," Usopp laughed.
"Usopp! Sekhmet!" Paulie shouted.
Usopp and Sekhmet stood there, saluting Paulie.
"I need you two to watch the prisoner tonight," the cop said.
"Okay. Wait, what if he tries to run again?" Usopp asked.
"Just let his car run out of gas and tow him back, but keep an eye on him," Paulie said.
"Yes sir!" Usopp and Sekhmet exclaimed as they whipped out telescopes and focused them on Lucci.
"Good grief," Paulie muttered as he walked away.
Lucci continued to fix the road as he ranted at himself, "While I'm stuck here paving this stinking road, Doflamingo's in Raftel schmoozing One Piece. My One Piece!"
Then, Lucci felt something move the back of his car up a little, followed by a hissing sound. "Whoa! Who's touching my car!" he shouted.
Brook and Laboon appeared in his window.
"You have a slow leak. Laboon, he's fixing it. You make such a nice new road. You come to my shop, I'll take a good care of you. Even though you not one of the Four Emperors. You buy four tires; I give you a full size spare absolutely free," Brook explained.
"Listen, I get all my tires for free," Lucci said smugly.
"Yohohoho! I like your style, eh? You drive a hard bargain. Ok. I'll make you a new deal. You buy one tire; I'll give you three, for free!"
Luffy watched at Brook tried to do business with Lucci and glanced over where Franky was spray-painting the picket-fence and looked where Chopper was using a hose to wash the dust off of Tom's statue.
"Then, I'll make you a new deal," Brook said.
"No, no, no. Deal me out. Pass. No thank you," Lucci said, getting annoyed.
"No, no, no. This is my final offer. You buy one tire; I'll give you seven snow tires for free! Done. You interested, you call me. You know where I am," Brook said as Laboon finished fixing Lucci's car's tires and the duo walked back to the tire shop.
Lucci sighed, and stepped out of his car to stretch, when suddenly, he and his car were greeted by a huge spray of water.
"Fuuuhhh. Ahhhh. Stop! Let me...Tuhh, puahh!" he shouted.
When the water stopped, Lucci saw it was Chopper in his human-esque form, holding a huge fire hose and Luffy was standing next him. Lucci took deep breaths as he turned away from them, trying to hide his rage.
"Oh, Chopper. You missed his back. Get it," Luffy commanded.
"NONONONO!" Lucci shouted, just when Chopper started spraying Lucci's back with water.
"Stop, stop! That's cold! Help! Please! Stop!" Lucci shouted.
When Chopper stopped spraying him, he and his car were perfectly clean, wet, but clean.
"Thanks Chopper," Luffy said.
"What was that for?" Lucci asked, a little annoyed.
"You want to stay at the Foosha Motel or what?" Luffy asked.
"Huh?" Lucci said, confused.
"And if you do, you gotta be clean. Cause even here in hillbilly hell we have standards," Luffy said, with a silly grin on his face.
Lucci still looked confused and said, "What I…? I don't get it."
"Nothing I just thought I'd say thank you for doing a great job. So I thought I'd let you stay with me…I mean, not with me! But there…Not with me there, but there in your own motel room. And I'd be in my room, and it's..." Luffy stammered.
"Wait, wait, you're being nice to me," Lucci said, smiling.
"I mean if you want to stay at the dirty impound, that's, that's fine. You know, I understand you criminal types," Luffy said.
"No, no, no. That's OK. Yeah, the Foosha Motel," Lucci said, observing the motel with giant traffic cones for the buildings which each had a small hotel room inside.
"It's newly refurbished," Luffy stated proudly.
"Haha. Yeah, it's like a clever little twist the motel's made out of caution cones, which, of course, cars usually try to avoid, now we're gonna stay in them. Haha. That's funny," Lucci said.
Luffy frowned and said, "Figure that all out on your own did you?" Luffy then walked back toward the motel. "Cone number one, if you want," he added.
Lucci did a sigh and watched Luffy leave until he noticed part of the back of his shirt was up a little, revealing a small black floral pattern tattoo on his lower back.
"Hey, do I spy a little tramp stamp back there," Lucci said, smirking.
Luffy turned around instantly and slammed his back into the side of the lobby building for the Foosha Village and accidently knocked over a stack of traffic cones in the process.
"Oh, you saw that? Shishishi, yeah, I'm just going. Gonna…yeah," Luffy stammered as he crab-walked backwards into the lobby building into his office.
Lucci smirked at the little scenario, until he heard Sekhmet say, "So Luffy has a tramp stamp?" which made the race car driver jump.
"That would explain why he always wore that shirt to the lake," Usopp added.
"…What are you talking about? There aren't any lakes here," Lucci said.
"I dunno. Hey, we know something we can do tonight, 'cause I'm in charge of watching you!" Usopp stated.
"No, Usopp, I got to finish this road, and I have to get out of here," Lucci said.
Usopp and Sekhmet looked at each other before walking away. Usopp then said, "Well, that's all right, Mr. I Can't Turn on Dirt. You probably couldn't handle it anyway."
Lucci, feeling offended, wouldn't let Usopp get away with saying that.
"Whoa, whoa, easy now, Usopp. You know who you're talking to? This is Rob Lucci. I can handle anything," he said proudly.
Later that night, Lucci was with Sekhmet and Usopp in a goat pasture.
"Usopp, Sekhmet, I'm not doing this!" Lucci hissed at the teens.
"Come on, you'll love it! Scaring the goats till they faint is fun! Okay, when I say go, we go," Usopp said, as he sat on his motorbike and Sekhmet sat in the sidecar. Lucci had walked alongside them the entire time.
"But don't let Ucy catch you," Sekhmet added quickly.
"Go!" Usopp softly shouted as he sped off into the pasture.
"Wait, who's Ucy? Usopp, Sekhmet!" Lucci whispered, worried about who Ucy was.
The race car driver followed the teens into the pasture. When he caught up to them, Usopp explained, "OK, here's what you do. You just sneak up in front of them, and then make a loud noise. And they do the rest. Watch this."
Usopp slowly and quietly drove his motorbike in front of a goat and revved the engine loudly. Within seconds, the goat woke up and fell to its side, having fainted and then farted really loudly. Usopp and Sekhmet laughed loudly.
"Hahahaha. I swear, goats are so dumb! I tell you what, Lucci; you don't get much better than this," Usopp stated.
"Yep, you're living the dream, Usopp," Lucci said sarcastically.
Lucci watched as Sekhmet leapt out of the sidecar and stalked up on a goat. She then jumped in front of it and did a very feline-like yowl at it. The goat fainted and farted, like expected. "Kyahahahaha! I don't care who you are, that's funny right there. Oh, you turn, Luc," She said.
"I don't even know how to scare goat," Lucci said.
"Baby," Sekhmet said in an annoying high-pitched voice.
"I'm not a baby," Lucci pouted.
"Bagawk!" Usopp clucked, waving his arms.
"Okay! I'll try something!" Lucci gave in.
Lucci slowly walked in front of a goat and looked at it as it slept peacefully. He glanced back at Usopp and Sekhmet, who both did the arm motion, "Go on."
Lucci took a deep breath before he roared at the top of his lungs, "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Every single goat woke up in the pasture fainted, and farted very loudly. Lucci, Usopp, and Sekhmet looked at each other, silent, until all three of them started snickering before laughing out loud.
Then, there was a loud moo. The trio went silent and listened more.
"That's Ucy," Usopp said, before speeding off in the motorcycle, leaving Lucci and Sekhmet to fend for themselves.
Then, large bull with dark fur, long horns and a bulky body charged at them out of nowhere. "MOO!" it mooed angrily, glaring at Lucci and Sekhmet.
"AAAAAAHHHH!" Lucci and Sekhmet screamed, as they ran away from the bull.
They ran so fast, they managed to catch up to Usopp.
"Run, hahaha , run! He's going to get you! Hahahaha!" the long-nosed teen laughed.
Lucci ran faster as Ucy gained on them. Eventually, Lucci managed to jump into the sidecar. He breathed heavily until he heard Sekhmet cry, "What about me!"
Lucci turned around to see Ucy was only two yards away from Sekhmet. The race car driver reached his hand toward the girl.
"Sekhmet! Take my hand!" he shouted.
Sekhmet ran faster and grabbed Lucci's hand, where he pulled her into the sidecar and held her on his lap. Sekhmet cried loudly, out of fear.
"Don't worry, it's okay! Everything will be okay!" Lucci shouted, trying to soothe the girl.
Eventually, Usopp found a ramp and used it to get over the fence and got away from Ucy, who watched them leave.
"Waaaahhhh! Usopp, you're so mean!" Sekhmet cried. "You left me behind! I want my dad! Waaaahhhh!"
"I'm sorry! I panicked!" Usopp said. "And can we keep this a secret. I'm not even supposed to do this or take Sekhmet with me. Jabra will beat me with a belt if he found out!"
"You're telling us this now!" Sekhmet and Lucci snapped.
"Heh-heh," Usopp laughed nervously as he sweat dropped.
Yeah, I changed a few things, such as adding that last little part after the bull incident.
I own Sekhmet
Oda-san owns One Piece
Disney Pixar owns Cars
