THE CHILDREN Set Sail!

Disclaimer: I have an important announcement my loyal readers. The owner of both One Piece and Zettai Karen Children had agreed NOT to hand over either ownership to me. Sorry, did I get you excited?

A few silent moment ticked by before…

"EH?" the three in question jerked back in surprise.

"WHAT?" the rest of the Straw Hat exclaimed as they all performed an anime fall, "Luffy!"

"What?" Luffy asked innocently before he received a whack on his head by Nami, "What was that for?"

"What do you THINK it's for?" Nami snapped as her captain nursed his swollen bruise, "They're still kids you know! You can't just recklessly ask someone to join and not consider their age or background!"

Although glade that they weren't going to force into piracy, the three found themselves feeling a tad insulted by being call 'kids'. It wasn't far from the truth, but if you knew them you would know that they hate it when people look down on them because of their age.

But before they make their point to everyone…

"Hey, just because they are kids, it doesn't mean they can't do what we could," Luffy argued back, "Beside, Chopper should be around the same age…"

"Chopper is different!" Nami countered her captain, "he's five years older and at least he wanted to be a pirate…"

"Then let them decide if they want to or not!" Luffy finalized. Nami began to argue but decide that it was probably the only way to shut their idiot captain.

"Fine," Nami smirked, "If they are willing to, there is nothing anyone can do. But if they don't want to, you better drop the subject!"

"Deal!" Now everyone turn their attention to the three ESP. "So what do you say, you three?"

Kaoru, Shiho, and Aoi hummed in thought for a moment. "Uh," Shiho began, "will it be dangerous?"

"Sure is!" Usopp piped up. But, somehow, Luffy was ready for it.

"But you girls are pretty strong, and we're strong too. It would matter!"

"Will we be able to leave if the time comes? I mean, there may be a chance for us to get back home…" Aoi nervously asked.

Vivi decide to answer. "I pretty sure you could…"

"Will we able to use our powers freely?" Kaoru suddenly asked, causing everyone to look at her strangely, "Well, back where we came from we had to limit the use of our powers so…"

"Of course," Luffy suddenly laughed, "I mean, I use my powers all the time! No ones going to make me stop using my powers…"

"So, we don't have to use our powers only for certain situation?"

"Nope, you can even use it for fun! I don't mind!"

"Uh," Nami suddenly intervened, "Maybe it is best to tell you our current situation first before you all decide…"

The three looked curiously at Nami, wondering what she what she wanted to say.

"You see," she continued, "at the very moment, we are on a very important mission to a country called Arabasta…a country at the brink of war…and Vivi's home country. And believe it or not, but Vivi is actually the princess of that troubled country…"

"EH!" the three screeched in unison, as they stared incredibly at the blue hair teen.

Vivi nervously chuckled at their reaction.

"Anyway…before meeting us, she heard of an organization that was the actual cause of the civil war called Baroque Work and had infiltrate it in order to find out the boss of the whole organization. That's when she found out that the ringleader is none other than one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea…"

"Seven…what?" Kaoru voice in confusion.

"Seven Warlords of the Sea," Zoro suddenly intervened, "they are seven pirates recognize by the World Government as valuable 'allies'. In return for their corporation on keeping the pirate 'population' under control, their bounties had been removed and are free from being chase by the Marines…"

"Exactly," Nami huffed, "and as I was saying, the Warlord Vivi identify is Sir Crocodile…who once had a bounty of 80,000,000 Belis before it was removed…"

"Belis?" Aoi quoted.

"The currency of this world," Shiho injected, causing everyone to turn to her in surprise, "one Beli coin here will be worth one golden bar back home…"

"WHAT! REALLY?" Kaoru and Aoi exclaimed in unison.

"And we are talking about 80,000,000 Beli. Think about it…"

Aoi and Kaoru merely gasp dumbfounded as soon they were done calculating mentally.

Usopp was curious on how Shiho knew about Belis.

"How is it that you came from another world and yet know about Belis," Usopp asked as if was he thought he was deceive, "let alone know how much it is worth in your world?"

Shiho chuckled to herself.

"Well, for starters," She began, "it would be weird if bounty were measure with fruits, so I figure it was what you all called your currency! And don't forget I have just 'read' both you and the map, and either of you could hold that information…"

"Right~," Usopp backtracked, feeling rather stupid for wondering.

"Anyway," Nami coughed, feeling thrown aside, "the organization soon found out about her royal status and tried to eliminate her. Fortunately, we intervene and decided to help her out…"

"What do you mean 'we'," Zoro grunted, "you made us intervene and your initial reason for 'helping' was to for one of your money scam…"

Then without a warning whatsoever, Nami smashed Zoro's face with the closest thing in reach…a mug.

"QUIT INTERRUPTING!" Nami forcibly commanded. "HOW COME EVERYONE KEEPS INTERRUPTING ME TODAY?"

"YEAH," Sanji joined as he kicked Zoro's already injure head, "QUIT GETTING IN NAMI-SAN WAY OF EXPLAINING…"

"YOU'RE NOT HELPING," Nami scolded as she knocked Sanji out cold.

Kaoru, Aoi, and Shiho sweat dropped from the display of anger as Nami straighten herself.

"As I was saying before I was RUDELY interrupted AGAIN," She growled, "just recently we manage to make them believe that we were eliminated but the danger will soon rise again as soon they discover the truth. And we are talking about an organization that are experts at assassinating and are very well dangerous. We are putting our lives on the line already. You kids are still young and you shouldn't be caught up in this while you still have chance. We'll gladly drop you off at port as soon as we reach there and we'll even get you some supplies to survive, so don't joining is the only way you'll get us to help you…"

The three grumble a bit at being referred to as 'kids' again, but thought about what Nami had said, and yet…

"Say," Kaoru ponder as she looked over to the Captain, "What's your bounty Luffy?"

"30,000,000 Beli," Luffy monotone almost immediately.

"That means your going up against someone who is without a doubt more powerful and dangerous than you," Shiho summed up, "and there's a chance you could be killed too…"

"Why are you so eager to throw your life away like this?" Aoi added, "I mean it's almost obvious that you don't stand a prayer on winning?"

Luffy hummed in thought for a moment as everyone, that includes the Straw Hat crew, held their breath, curious on how he would reply.

Finally Luffy struck out three finger, indicating that he had three reason.

"First off," Luffy grinned, "Because it's going to be fun…"

Everyone perform anime trips upon hearing the it.

"…And that how being a pirate should be. Facing the danger, not expecting to live to see tomorrow, living life to the fullness, and having fun and adventure. Being a pirate allows me to accomplish my dreams and wishes without someone telling me do otherwise…"

"Secondly," Luffy spoke in a more serious, if not frightening tone, "That jerk of a Warlord is trying to destroy Vivi's home and everyone she care for. That will make Vivi sad if it actually happen, and she's my friend too. No one makes my friends sad and gets away with it! Even if she isn't really part of my crew to others, when you become my friend you are already part of my crew, and no one can mess with them…"

"And finally," Luffy grinned again, "if I'm not going to kick his ass, who will?"

Zoro, if everyone else of the Straw Hats, chuckled to themselves. "Well," Zoro knowingly groaned, "you can't argue that…"

"So what do say," Luffy chimed eagerly at the three girls, "Want to join?"

Kaoru, Aoi, and Shiho eyed each other, wondering what to decide. It wasn't long before they end up huddling together, secretly discussing their opinions.

The Straw Hats all held their breath; most hoping that will reject their captain's offer.

As soon as they broke up, the three turn to Luffy with a huge smile on their face. "Okay," Kaoru voiced as three's spokesperson, "we're game…"

Normama: "Another chapter done!"

Shiho: "Hey Normama! We aren't getting as many reviews as we want!"

Aoi: "Could it be no one is paying attention to the story!"

Normama: "No, I think people are reading...it just that they don't give reviews afterward..."

Kaoru: "Then how will you know if you are doing well or not?"

Normama: "...That could be a problem. Someone, anyone, please give me some reviews! I don't mind if they're nonsense just as long as they are about the story!"
