A Woolly Heaven or Hell?

As you have probably noticed, I like to be over dramatic with the titles. You'll just have to go with it. Thx! :)

"So, let me get this straight," stated Nami. It was morning and the pirates had already finished breakfast (except Luffy, of course) and were starting to have a discussion. "First, Luffy stops speaking and coming out of the quarters. Second, we all thought he had died of starvation just to find out he was seeping." The crew all nodded as she went. "Then, he gets a fever from not getting enough energy, which Chopper had pointed out." She turned to the doctor as she spoke.

"Now, Sanji's giving him a bit more food. So that doesn't happen, again." reminded the little reindeer.

Nami nodded and continued. "Now, he…turns into a cat."

"Hmm-hmm." hummed the rest simultaneously. Their hands (Or hoof) on their chins, and other on elbows.

Silence… *Cricket noises, if you want* Until-

"WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THAT?! WHY ARE ALL THESE STUPID THINGS HAPPENING?!" screamed Nami in a rage.

The others had to agree. A lot of strange things were happening to Luffy and them. But, it wasn't like that could get any worse, could it?

Down below, like usual, Luffy was lying on the floor.

'I'm hungry~' he whined in his thoughts; He usually thought this every day. 'I'm sick of being a cat!' Chopper and Usopp would normally play with him sometimes in the quarters, but Chopper was trying to make an antidote today and Usopp was making some sort of new invention he said he would show Luffy and Chopper once he had finished; Luffy was looking forward to it.

But, for now, he had nothing to do.

Well, not until he found something which struck a spark in his instincts…Wool.

And a whole bundle of it at that.

He ran.

He leaped.

He landed.

On the wool.

*A hour later*

"Oi, Chopper!" shouted a certain sharpshooter. "I've finished the invention!"

A small reindeer came trotting into the galley with stars in his eyes yelling; "Really, Usopp?! Show me, show me!"

"Of course! It's the best thing you'll ever see anyway!" boasted the long-nosed boy as he placed a hand on his chin. "But, I can't show you without Luffy-Kun being here! The great Captain Usopp-sama did promise to show him, as well!"

"Your so cool, Captain Usopp!" squealed the little doctor.

They both headed to where Luffy was. Once arriving they opened the hatch while saying, "Oi~! Luffy-kun! I've finished the invent-!" But he was cut off with the sight before him. Even Chopper was left speechless.

The whole room was completely covered with thin strings of, what seemed like, multi coloured wool.

It was hanging from the ceiling, curled around the hammocks, stuck in between the floorboards, squashed between the sofa cushions, dangling from the light, and creating a maze of what looked similar to a corridor of laser beams' that you find in spy films.

"W-what the hell is going on here!" screamed Usopp. Catching the other people currently aboard the Merry Go to turn their attention to where the liar was.

"M-my wool!" shrieked Chopper. Though he was more surprised at what he was seeing then the fact it was his wool that was everywhere. 'But… Didn't Nami borrow it?' He though with a confused look on his fragile face.

"What's going on?" questioned a curious chef. Slowly looking down the hatch to see the same scene the two cowards had. "What the hell?!" he yelled in surprise.

"Hmm?" a lazy swordsman caught the same view. "Whoa." He simply responded; probably too tired to care.

Nami had just smirked at the mess; she was pleased with the results. It had seemed like a good idea to her to see what Luffy would do if he was given the chance to play with wool. Like any other cat that saw wool just sitting there, she thought he might decide to knock it around a bit and get slightly tangled.

But this was over her expectations; this was even better!

"Oi! Where's Luffy?" asked Sanji as his eyes searched the string playground to catch a glimpse of his now-a-cat captain.

The others did the same.

"Oh! There!" Usopp pointed a finger over to where he could just visibly see a black tail whizzing around the web-like materials. "He's over there!"

The tanned boy jumped into the fuzzy heaven and made his way over to the cat-like feature. He climbed through the maze until he reached his goal.

And like he had thought, he friend was there. Well, cat friend.

Luffy was completely tangled in the wool! It was curled around his legs and head with other pieces' hanging from his belly; looping over his back.

Usopp reached down and picked the animal up.

"Geez, Luffy… How did you end up like this?" He knew his wasn't going to get a proper answer since his captain won't talk and all. But, the cat simply smirked and did what seemed like a shrug with his small shoulders.

"Instinct?" Usopp asked. Raising an eyebrow.

The black feline nodded, causing the long-nosed teen to let out a long sigh. "You're really a handful, ya know that?"

The rest of the gathered smirked, smiled and grinned at the conversation. Though, it seemed a bit off talking to a cat.

Chopper then remembered about the invention he and Usopp had come to show Luffy. They could clean up the mess later.

Stars flooded the young doctor's eyes as he shouted to the two, "Luffy! Usopp finished his invention!"

With that reminder, the liar started to boast about his creation to the eager-to-see-it boy/cat.

~TTTF~TTTF~TTTF~TTTF~TTTF~TTTF~TTTF~

They day went on. It was now around 5:30 PM and the ship was quiet.

Nami went back to mapping, Zoro was napping, Sanji was preparing late dinner, Usopp, Chopper and Luffy had just finished tiding up the quarters from its wool infest.

A loud shout broke the now-not-so-usual silence.

Chopper came running out from the storage room below (Which was where he had been doing most of his experiments since Sanji wouldn't let him do them in the galley in case he made a mess) yelling, "I've done it! We can turn Luffy back to normal again!"

"Really?!" exclaimed the crew in unison.

"That's great, Chopper! You really are the best doctor ever!" Usopp praised the happy reindeer. Making him even more happy.

"Shut up, you asshole~! Chopper did his little dance. Everyone laughed.

"Well? What are we waiting for?" said Nami sarcastically. "Let's go give it to Luffy!"

With that, everyone went to see their cat captain.

Meanwhile…

Luffy was lying on the couch catching some Zs'. He woke up when hearing Chopper's voice ring out across the ship. Soon after, his nakama burst into the room.

Luffy yawned while Chopper screamed in his face, "We can turn you back too normal, Luffy!"

Luffy immediately stopped yawning and stared at the fuzzy doctor.

His faced lit up and looked like he was saying, "Seriously?!"

Snatching the bottle with the antidote, the raven coloured cat gulped the blue liquid down like he had done with the pink.

Suddenly, once the liquid had all gone, a puff of smoke filled the crowded room. Coughing could be heard from various people.

Once the white cloud had disappeared, everyone turned to see the human Luffy sitting cross-legged on the sofa…Naked.

As soon as Sanji had noticed, he quickly covered Nami's eyes with his hands.

"Huh? What?" asked the girl. Unsure of why the teen had suddenly placed his hands over her eyes.

'Phew…She didn't see.' thought the cook with a quick sigh of relief.

Luffy now had some clothes on and was running round the room with Chopper and Usopp. He was glad that he was back to normal.

Night quickly took over and everyone had gone to sleep. Well, except the unlucky person who was on night watch.

This person was Zoro.

He stared into the distance; checking no ships were about.

Which was wrong. Zoro stood up and grabbed the binoculars to get a better view of the unknown ship. Off into the vast sea was a pirate ship. Zoro could tell it was one because of its Jolly Roger flapping prideful in the midnight breeze.

The flag was a skull with two guns replacing the bones. On top the skull's head was a top-knot hair style. Like the samurais used to have. And it wore a grin plastered to its face.

'It doesn't really look deadly. They probably won't attack us.' thought Zoro as he slouched back into his earlier position. But was soon up again when a loud boom rang through his ears.

It seemed like the pirate ship had noticing the Merry Go because it was now firing cannon balls directly at it!

Zoro yelled the crew awake and everyone (except Luffy) came slowly dragging themselves out of the rooms.

"What was that noise?" asked a yawning Usopp.

"Why did you wake us, Marimo?" questioned a moody chef.

"We're under attack." Zoro simply replied as another cannon ball hit the water near the boat.

"WHAT?!"

Sorry this chappie came out a bit late! Had school to get ready for…Sorry! - Beth
