THE CHILDREN Set Sail!
Disclaimer: Me owning both One Piece and Zettai Karen Children? I have a better chance of being the master of the universe…of which I'm not!
"…W-WHAT?"
"HUH?" the Straw Hats questioned, almost completely lost in the conversation.
"Uh, can you three please 'obey the speed limit' for a moment?" Usopp asked. "What's going on?"
Shiho looked at the long nose for a moment before sticking out her hand, asking for his in return.
Usopp, a bit dumbfound by the request at first, gingerly obey.
As soon as their hands touch, however, they immediately glow faint blue as she began to speak.
"Usopp, the sniper and the cannoneer of the Straw Hat Pirates," Shiho began, "Age: 17. An extremely negative person who usually needs outside force to help getting out of his 'little hole' he claims to be reality.
"His father Yasopp, who left him at a very early age, is a member of a pirate known as the Red Hair Pirates.
"At the age of eight, he began his first string of lies in order for his mother Banchina, who was seriously ill shortly after his father's departure; stay alive for short time longer. Although he'd fail, he continues to lie throughout his whole life as a mean to shield himself from loneness, evidently a success.
"He became the captain of a pretend-pirate crew call the Usopp Pirates and his town greatest liar/annoyance. He also befriended a rich, yet sicken young girl named Kaya, telling her his adventure to cheer her up.
"He was later caught in the crossfire of Kaya's butler Klahadore's plan, who was actually the infamous pirate captain Kuro of Thousand Plan, of scandal murder and try to warn everyone only to be disprove by all who known him. However, with the help of Luffy, Zoro, Nami, and his Usopp Pirate he manage to prevent the tragedy and send the pirate running.
"Hoping to start a new life out at sea, Usopp tearful disband his pretend-crew and began his leave only to join Luffy's crew. He later took his position as the crew's marksman though he insists on being the captain.
"He plays a major role in defeating Chuu, one of the Merman who terrorize Nami's hometown, recently helping defeat Mr. 5, a living human bomb, and repairing the crew's ship the Merry Go, given to them by Kaya, though he does poorly.
"His goal is to become a Brave Warrior of the Sea, visit an island called Elbaf, and to meet his father one day."
Every member of the pirate stare with shock and/or amazement from the information.
"Should I continue?" Shiho smiled.
Usopp was, at the moment, so shocked that his mouth decided to rest on the floor.
Finally, after a few moments to recollect himself, he managed to speak. "H-H-How do you know so much about me? Not even the Marines can get that much about one person…"
Shiho smiled, ready to explain herself. "I was born with the ability to gather information from the object that I touch. So no information is safe from me…"
"YOU CAN DO THAT?" Luffy exclaimed, his eyes sparkling from the awesomeness, "THAT'S AMAZING!"
"That's right," Shiho confirmed, "As soon as I touch something or someone, I can literally see or hear everything to them as if it had taken place right before my eyes…"
"WAIT A MINUTE," Aoi suddenly voiced. She quickly pulled Shiho aside as Kaoru join them. "Shiho, what are you doing?"
"Why are you telling them what you are capable of?" Kaoru followed up.
"It not like we got much of a choice on the matter," Shiho countered, not bothering to keep the conversation from being heard by the Straw Hats, "like I said, we are in an entirely different world now! It wouldn't matter if we lie or tell them the truth because we are totally at their mercy. We have no friends, no allies, the justice of this world is somewhat corrupted, there are even more powerful people here with ability that far surpass ours, and the world is fill with people who could care less about us and leave us to rot. We're lucky to have board a ship that has people willing to help us during this time. The less we can do is to gain their trust by giving them ours."
Aoi and Kaoru just stare for a moment at their childhood friend, as if they were sure about her resolution.
That was when something clicked in Nami's mind.
"So you're explaining to us your powers so that we don't think bad about you and not trust you?" Nami question.
Shiho turn to her and nodded. "Kind of late, but we really need help in current situation…"
"So," Sanji chimed in, lighting his small cigarette in the process, "you have the power to 'read' anything you touch, am I getting that?"
Shiho nodded again. "Exactly, that is why I am call a Psychometrist…"
"Well that's mystery clear up," Usopp chimed, before whispering to Shiho, "by the way, how much do you know from that one touch?"
"Enough to write an autobiography about you, include that time when you try to give everyone in town diarrhea, but…I'll stop there…" Shiho whisper back with a smile, causing Usopp to laugh nervously.
"So what about you two," Vivi questioned both Kaoru and Aoi.
The two thought for a moment before Aoi decide to take a gamble.
"Okay, how about this," she began, "We'll exchange info about ourselves for yours."
Vivi blinked for a moment before turning to Luffy and everything clicked into place. "You wanted to know how Luffy did what he did back on deck, right?"
Aoi hiccupped but nodded.
Luffy, being the subject that was being discuss, decided to answer.
"Oh well when I was young I ate one of the very special fruit call Devil Fruit. They give you very cool powers but you won't be able to swim again," With that, pulled on his cheeks, "I ate the Gum-Gum Fruit and it turn me into a Rubber Man…"
"WOW," Kaoru exclaimed, "Now that I look at it, that pretty cool…"
"It is, isn't it?"
"Why do I get the feeling that those two are going to get along just fine?" Zoro asked with a sweat drop.
"Maybe because they're both childish," Usopp guessed, "well, compare to the rest of us I mean…"
"So," Chopper cautiously piped up from behind his hiding place, "W-What can you do, Aoi?"
Aoi ponder for a moment on whether to give them an answer or not.
'Well, they did agree to tell us a bit of themselves to us,' she thought, 'I guess it wouldn't hurt…'
With that, she made the same 'Y' sign with her hand which instantly glowed bright green, as is Chopper only faintly. In an instant, Chopper disappeared and quickly reappeared on Carue's back, surprising both.
"What the…" Chopper exclaimed, "How did I…"
"This is my power," Aoi explained, "I am able to transport anything, including myself, anywhere within a certain distance…"
"FOR REAL?" Luffy exclaimed, "COOL!"
"That's it?" Zoro suddenly snorted, clearly not impress, "So in other word you're useless unless you need to run away right?"
"Zoro!" Nami snapped.
"Well isn't it true? Doesn't her power make her a perfect coward?"
"Oh boy," Shiho warned, catching everyone's attentions, "now you're in for it!"
Everyone stare back at Aoi whose face had darkened from the insults.
"Are…you…calling…me," Aoi slowly growled as her hand once again glowed bright green, "A WEAKLING?"
In an instant, Zoro found himself trapped with his body stuck in the table.
"What the…" Before he could react, a bunch of wooden crates and barrels appear above him which promptly fell on. "GAAH!"
"W-What just happen," Nami asked as she stared with fear at Zoro, still stuck in the table and buried under a ton of broken boards.
"Well," Shiho sweat dropped, fearing that the action just cost them the pirates' trust, "Aoi can teleport things between other object as well. And it doesn't matter how heavy the objects are, as long as it isn't attach to something too big like a mountain or a building she can teleport them too, usually to crush something…or, in this case, someone…"
"Right," Nami checked, "Note to all: Don't insult Aoi."
Finally self-conscious, Aoi suddenly realize her blunder.
"Oh no, I snapped," she panicked, before quickly teleporting Zoro out of under the debris and table, "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it, honest…"
"Ouch," Zoro muttered as he straightened himself out, "This is what always happen when I speak truthfully about girls! Typical…"
"Blame yourself for that Swords-Boy," Sanji chuckled, "You're hopeless with women…"
"Shut up, Love-Cook!"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY, MOSS-HEAD!"
"RUN THAT BY ME AGAIN, PERVERT!"
"SAY WHAT, BONEHEAD?"
Kaoru, Shiho, and Aoi watch as the two continue to argue only to break into battle.
"Does this happen often?" Aoi asked with a sweat drop.
"Almost everyday," Nami sighed before she went over to them and smack hard on both of their heads, "ENOUGH YOU TWO!"
"Y-Yes Nami-san," Sanji obey as he and Zoro nurse their bruise in silent.
The three kids sweat drop from Nami's solution to the fight.
"Something tells me you got off easy when we kicked earlier." Shiho stated, of which Kaoru only nodded.
"Okay," Vivi coughed, trying to get everyone back on topic, "Dr. Chopper, why don't you go next and explain yourself to them?"
Chopper suddenly started dancing in a silly way on the spot, receiving a curious look from the three girls.
"V-Vivi," Chopper snapped, "I really don't like it when you call me that you know!"
"Uh…okay?" Kaoru stated, "What gives?"
"He just can't hide his real feeling," Usopp cleared up the mystery.
"A-Anyway," Chopper straighten himself out, "Believe it or not, I'm actually was a normal blue-nose reindeer but then I accidentally ate a Human-Human Fruit. Now I can be halfway between…"
He suddenly turn into a full-fledged reindeer, "…my original form…"
He then switched into his 'man' form, "…or my somewhat human form…"
"Wow," Kaoru awed, "and you are also the doctor of the ship too! That's impressive…"
"Stupid," Chopper complain as he starts his silly dance again, "I don't need your flattery…"
"Uh…sure, if you say…"
"So what power do you have, Kaoru?" Luffy rushed, wondering with excitement at what kind it was.
Kaoru smile, knowing that her newly made friend was eager for her power's introduction.
"I have the power to move object without actually touching it," She smirked, as her hand glow brightly red as well as the pile of debris (only faintly red). In the next instance, they neatly packed themselves into a corner.
"Because of that, I'm also able to make myself and/or other of my choice fly…"
Almost on cue, she, Shiho, and Aoi float up into the air.
"I can also use my power to do thing normally can't with what people usual ability too."
An apple suddenly floats over to her and she quickly made a couple of swipe at it with her glowing hand. The apple fell apart into eight equal pieces and float in front each of the Straw Hats.
"Sweet!" Luffy cheered as he and the other ate their share of the apple, "Wow, you three are awesome!"
Kaoru grinned as Shiho and Aoi simply smile as they float back to the floor. "Glad you think so!"
"So you three want to crew?" Luffy suddenly asked, with the biggest grin that the three had seen.
Normama: "There you go! another chapter for The Children Set Sail!"
Kaoru: "Hey Normama, why don't you just add yourself into the mix? Just to turn things on..."
Normama: "HUH? Err...no...I don't think so! I not popular and not planning to be..."
Shiho: "Oh, come on! Don't be shy!" XD
Normama: "I'm not shy! I just don't like the attention!" X(
Aoi: "Oh, readers! Please encourage Normama to join or at least urge him to continue this story through the reviews. Please?" ;)
Normama: "HEY! DON'T ASK THEM FOR THE FIRST PART!" X(
