THE CHILDREN Set Sail!

Disclaimer: Again I don't own One Piece or Zettai Karen Children. God have mercy on me if I otherwise claim that I do. Note: That this will be the last chapter that will use P.O.V. so for of those of you who got a headache because of it...your worry days are over!

(Straw Hat's P.O.V.)

"The poor kid didn't stand a chance," Usopp commented.

"Alright," Luffy smirked, winding up his hand for a second punch, "Who's next?"

"W-W-WAIT A MINUTE!" the two remaining girls begged, now panicking.

"What?"

"L-Listen, we…I…it…" the glasses girl stumbled over her words, unable to think up any good excuses.

"W-We didn't really want to take over your ship," the silver-hair girl managed, "W-We were scare, lost, and desperate to get home! S-So in panic, we thought we could borrow this ship to get back, so…"

"Right," Nami chuckle slightly to herself, "and I suppose that redhead there doing all that sexual harassment on me and Vivi was also 'out of panic'…"

"Oh that?" the glasses girl note, looking down in awkwardness at her fallen friend, "That was just how she is…"

"Then how about when you knock out both Luffy and Zoro?" Usopp pointed out.

"Y-Your captain surprise us," the silver-hair girl quickly tried to reason, "and if you are talking about the swordsman, it was all self-defense. He was trying to kill us!"

"Well, I guess that's true…" Usopp sweat dropped as Zoro grumble to himself.

"Then how about when you three openly plot to take over our ship with an evil intent written over your face?" Sanji monotone.

"That was…" the glasses girl started before stopping dead in her tracks. How was she supposed to explain out of this?

"L-Look sir," the silver-hair girl rushed to grab the pirate captain, "we're telling the truth! You have to believe us…"

Zoro snorted. "Like hell we'll…"

"Yeah sure," Luffy suddenly interrupted in his own casual way, "I believe you…"

"YOU BELIEVE THEM?" His entire crew exclaimed in shock as some of them got themselves knocked off the ship from his word.

'H-He believe us?' both of the girls thought before both of their stomach began to growl.

"Well, we can deal with Luffy's stupidity and the intruding kids later," Sanji stated, not noticing the two intruders' grumble, as he head towards the kitchen, "right now let get some lunch…"

"Oh yeah I almost forgot," Luffy remarked, "SANJI, FEED ME!"

"YOU KEEP QUIET!"

(The CHILDREN P.O.V.)

Aoi and Shiho sat uncomfortably among the pirates as they gorge themselves in the blonde chef's delicious-smelling foods.

Behind them on a bed, Kaoru was still unconscious from the impact she receives from the pirate captain.

They had not dare touch the food that blonde chef had given to them. The had read enough stories about pirates to know not trust them even if they act nice.

They were especially careful now that the captain (Luffy) had demonstrated a strange ability: stretching his body to incredible length! It was definitely not an illusion; their level had shown that much difference between reality and illusion. Neither of them can think of any logic reasoning behind it. And there was no telling what the rest of the pirates can do.

So far the pirates had ignored them except when one of them occasionally checked up Kaoru.

Both Aoi and Shiho hope that once they lower their guard long enough for them to grab Kaoru, find a dinky on the ship, and sail away from these pirates as fast as they can.

It wasn't going to happen.

"This one sure loves to sleep doesn't she?" the long nose stated as he bent over Kaoru head causally.

Suddenly, Kaoru eyes snapped open as she instinctively and quickly sat up.

This, however, turns out to be a bad move as her head made contact with the long nose's chin hard, injuring both.

"GYAAH!" the long nose yelped as he fell to the floor.

"OUCH!" Kaoru cried as she nurse her injury.

"Ah, looks like the little pervert is awake," the orange-hair noted.

"Kaoru, are you alright?" Aoi asked, helping her nurse her bruise.

"Yeah," Kaoru manage before noticing that the pirates they had encounter before was also there…especially Luffy!

As soon she saw him, she tries to back as far away as possible from him. "WAAH! S-STAY AWAY FROM ME!"

"Wow, calm down there kid," the blonde chef reasoned, "No one is going to hurt you…"

"…Unless you give us a reason," the orange-hair added, narrowing her eyes just a bit at Kaoru before her eyes turn softer, "Anyway, now that you are awake, perhaps you all can finally do some explain…"

"Whoa, Nami-san," the chef politely interrupted as he place a plate of food in front of Kaoru, "Let them all eat up first. They all must be hungry by now…"

Kaoru stare suspicious at the plate of food she was offered. So did Shiho and Aoi.

"Ok, what gives you three," he finally asked, catching the three's attention, "I thought you two didn't want to eat because you were waiting for this redhead to wake up, but now none of you still want to eat. What gives?"

Kaoru, Shiho, and Aoi remain silent, looking dreamily at the food yet not willing to touch it.

"Oh I get it now. You three think I put something in there, don't you?"

Again, the three remain silent.

"I'll take that as a 'yes'. Don't worry, there isn't anything in there that will harm you…"

Again, the three remain silent.

The blonde chef sighed. "Look, if you three aren't going to eat soon, THIS idiot here is going to eat it all for you…"

The three finally reacted as looked up to find Luffy already ready to take Kaoru plate.

"Yeah," he grinned, "I'm still starving! Thanks…"

But before Luffy could take it…

"HANDS OFF!" Kaoru, who was at her limit, shouted, snatching the plate away before she immediately start woofing down the food.

"Wow, sorry…"

"KAORU," both Shiho and Aoi scream in fear of what the consequence might be, but it was already too late by then. She had completely emptied the plate.

After a few second of consideration, Kaoru (to the surprise of both Aoi and Shiho) broke into a wide smile.

"MY GOODNESS," she exclaimed, "THIS FOOD IS AMAZING!"

"Was there any doubt," Luffy grinned, "I handpick Sanji myself!" The blonde chef made a small bow, showing he appreciate the compliment.

"Can I have seconds please," Kaoru question the blonde chef, apparently named Sanji.

"Coming right up," he simply stated with a smile.

"ME TOO," Luffy chimed in.

"NO MORE FOR YOU!"

"Meanie…"

(The Straw Hat P.O.V.)

"Well, now that someone seem willing to talk," Nami addressed to the redhead, "can you now at least tell us your name?"

Before the redhead could happily (if not casually) replied, the silver-hair quickly interrupted. "Not until you give us yours first!"

"Oh, so you finally decided to speak, huh," Nami asked slyly as the silver-hair, realizing her blunder a tad too late, quickly covered her mouth, "Well, I guess you have a point. We have no right to ask your name before giving ours'. Very well, I'm Nami, the ship's navigator…"

"…The one preparing that delicious food over by the stove is our ship's chef Sanji…"

Sanji turn slightly to them with a smile. "Hey!"

"…The mean face over there that chase you earlier is the first mate Zoro…"

"Shut up," Zoro grumble with out moving.

"…The little guy trying to hide over here who you three were chasing earlier is our ship's doctor Chopper…"

As if finally noticing that he wasn't hiding as much as he'd hope, Chopper readjusts himself without saying a thing.

"…The one rolling all over the place down there like a baby is our ship's marksman Usopp…"

"N-NOT FUNNY," Usopp managed as he nurse his bruise chin, "DAMN IT, THAT GIRL HAS A HARD HEAD!"

"…My friend here with her fateful duck, Carue, is Vivi…"

"Greetings," Vivi smiled as Carue quake a greeting of his own.

"…And you already met our captain…"

"I'm Monkey D. Luffy," Luffy grinned, "I'm the Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates…"

(The CHILDREN P.O.V.)

All three began to giggle uncontrollable.

"What?" Luffy asked.

"S-Sorry," Kaoru manage between giggle, "is just that you act like…and your last name is…"

The Straw Hats thought about it for a moment before they too began to laugh.

"Hey, you got a point there," Luffy laugh out loud.

'Even he finds his name funny?' Shiho thought to herself with a sweat dropped.

"So," Vivi straighten herself out, "can we ask for your names now?"

Kaoru, Shiho, and Aoi looked at each other for a moment before deciding that the pirates aren't that bad.

"Well," Kaoru began, "I'm Akashi Kaoru, a Level 7 Psychokinetic…"

"I'm Nogami Aoi," Aoi followed up, "a Level 7 Teleporter…"

"And I'm Sannomiya Shiho," Shiho finalized, "a Level 7 Psychometrist."

"Huh?" was the collective response from the Straw Hats.

"W-What?" Kaoru query, noticing their confused expression.

"What was all that 'Level 7…' thing about?" Nami asked.

"What do you mean?" Aoi questioned, suddenly feeling unease, "Is stating what level we ESP a bad think?"

"…What's a ESP?" Luffy noted, tilting his head slightly in confusion.

The three girls stared incredibly at Luffy. "ARE YOU SERIOUS?"

Every one of the Straw Hats nodded as the three stare at them, not believing what they were witnessing.

"How can that be?" Aoi asked her two friends, "There hasn't been a single person we met in our entire life that doesn't know who ESP are…"

"But they don't seem to be lying either," Shiho noted.

"What's going on?" Kaoru snapped, scratching her head in frustration, "AURGH…MY HEAD HURT JUST TRYING TO THINK WHY!"

"H-Hey, calm down," Vivi suggested, beginning to worry, "Why don't you three tell us instead which island you came so we can get you back home?"

Usopp looked at Vivi unbelievably. "But Vivi, what about…"

"It ok, I don't mind taking a slight detour to another island…"

"Hey, what do you mean by 'another island'?" Aoi interrupted, "We may have came from Japan but…"

"Japan?" Nami asked before rolling out a map and carefully searching through it, "Hmm…how strange. There doesn't seem to be such an island…"

Out of curiosity, Shiho peeked over Nami's shoulder to have a look. What she saw, though, only left her in even more confusion.

The map had one giant landmass that cut the map in half along half of another landmass on either side of the map. A large red line ran perpendicularly with the landmasses, which help create four large ocean with a wide spread of small scatter island all over the place.

"Uh," Shiho quoted, "What map is THIS suppose to be for?"

Nami stared back at her with an eyebrow raised. "Are you saying you don't recognize the World Map?"

"THIS is supposed to be the World Map? Sorry, but I don't think so!"

"What was that supposed to mean?"

"Well, for starters, there are suppose to be seven landmasses not just two and there are seven seas instead of four…"

"Excuse me? I hate to break it to you but people have been using these kind of maps for years and they turn out fine. I mean, sure it isn't a accurate map of the world but it got the major parts of it…"

Shiho though about it for a moment. "Hmm…Can I take a look at for a moment then?"

"Uh…Sure?" Nami wonder for a moment before handing it over to her.

Everyone watch as Shiho hand glow bright blue as soon as it came in contact with the map.

Almost instantly, Shiho was bombarded with wave after wave of memories, visions, and information. What she saw, naturally, caused her to drop the map in disbelief.

"Kaoru," Shiho began, "Aoi, I don't think we'll be going back anytime soon…"

"EH?" the two mentioned sounded, "What's that suppose to mean?"

"I'll be blunt: we are in an entirely different world…"

Normama: "Done! Whew, I work a lot better when I'm not being threaten..."

Aoi: "See?" 2:b

Shiho: "..." ):x

Kaoru: "Hey Normama, you seem to have updated this story two weeks ahead of schedule...why?"

Normama: "Well, let's just say I've been focusing most of my creative juice on your story for some time now...WAIT! That's it..."

Kaoru: "Err...sorry about that! It looks like he's going back to work on our story again. Until then, please send us your reviews and tell us what you think about us, ok? See ya!" ;)
