Man, I have been on a roll lately haven't I? Well here ya go. Chapter 6.
Once Vivi's ship docked on the beach of the nameless island, a team consisting of 10 crew members was brought together to search the island for provisions. The captain made it very clear that this was a very dangerous, so if anything happened they were to stop whatever they were doing and run away. They said they understood, and were off.
Meanwhile, Vivi, who had been feeling a little confined from being of the ship for so long, decided that she would take a walk through the jungle for a while. She waited until both the captain and Igaram weren't paying attention and snuck off the ship.
The jungle reminded her of the time she spent on Little Garden with the straw hats. This time she just hoped that she didn't have to deal with giants waging a century long battle, people that turned others into wax statues, people who could control others with paint, and giant fish upon their departure.
However the one thing that she knew she wouldn't avoid were the dinosaurs, as this was a prehistoric island after all. This was punctuated by the Tyrannosaurus that had decided that she would make a nice lunch. Vivi smiled at this. "Hope I haven't gotten too rusty." She took out her strings and prepared for battle.
Back at the ship)
The lookout was standing near the top of the ship in the crow's nest. He was making sure to keep a look out for hostile pirates, Marines, and others that could pose a threat to Vivi's secret. However, what he would find would make his heart nearly stop where it was. "S-S-S-S-Sencho!"
The captain looked up from where he was standing. "Huh? What is it?"
"I-I-It's them. They are here on this island." He said pointing towards a clearing in the trees. Beyond them, there stood a Jolly Roger. One that wore a straw hat.
"Peacock guillotine!" Vivi shot her strings off to the sides and then brought them across the dinosaur's neck in a scissor motion, removing it from its body. The head reached the ground with a loud thump, and the body soon followed. Vivi retracted her strings and looked around. She sighed. "Not even a god enough warm up."
The jungle grew quiet and Vivi grew worried. Keeping her hands ready to take out her strings, she looked around, waiting for anything.
What she got was an attack from all sides as 7 people, inhabitants of the island judging by the way they were dressed, jumped out from the bushes around her.
She didn't have time to hesitate. She did the first thing that came to her mind. "Peacock revolution!"
The strings shot out and she did a complete 360 degree turn. Her strings caught all but one of them, who actually decided to duck at the last moment. The others were sent flying off to the side, but the one that dodged tried for a second attack, pointing his spear at her throat.
"Runback!" she brought one string back to him, but he brought his spear up to stop it. He did, but his spear was broken. However, reacting quickly, he simply took the spearhead and lunged at her.
'Oh no, I let my guard down." She clenched her eyes and waited for the impact.
"Gomu Gomu No…." The familiar phrase caught her ears and she opened her eyes. "Stamp!" A sandaled foot came flying out of nowhere and caught him right in the face. He went flying back straight into a tree. The foot suddenly retracted back to where it came from.
"Man that was close. Oi, you ok over there?" The voice called over to her.
She turned over to face him. When she saw his face, the smile that suddenly appeared on her spoke volumes. Everything was still there. The scar that seemed to fit him so well, the big toothy grin that always brightened her day no matter how bad she was feeling, and his most defining feature; the straw hat that was with him no matter what. Just by looking at him she could tell that he hadn't changed one bit since she last saw him.
The grin that she so adored was soon replaced with one of shock when he saw just who it was that he had saved. "V-Vivi. Vivi!" He ran up to her smiling bigger than he had ever done. She did the same and the two met in the middle.
"Hey how ya doing?" Luffy said, looking like he always did.
Vivi just smiled and said, "Good. Very good. I finally got the country back in order."
"That's great. So why are you all the way out here?"
"Because I…." Even after everything, she was still nervous about it. However, she was here now, and couldn't turn back if she wanted to. "You said that no matter what happened, we were still nakama right?" She brought her hand over to hold her left arm over the X that they had put on their arms.
"Yea, that's right, no matter what." He said holding up his own tattooed arm.
"And that if we ever met again that I could join you crew right?"
"Yes of course."
"Well, I would like to take you up on that offer."
"Alright! Welcome back Vivi." He took her hand and started running. "Come on the rest of the crew is gonna want to see you."
She smiled and let herself get pulled by her captain.
At the Going Merry)
"Man he sure is late getting back. And considering that it's almost lunch, that's not like him." Usopp looked over the side of the ship and waited for his captain to return with whatever food he could find.
"Eh, don't worry about it. One, he can take care of himself. We all already know that. Two, I doubt that he would miss a meal for anything. Especially one of my meals." The cook said, lighting a cigarette
"Yea, I guess you're right, but still…."
"Just drop it, Usopp." The swordsman called from the other side of the ship.
"Yea, it's the captain. If anything is wrong we would have know it by now. It's not like he is the most subtle person in the world." Nami said.
"True, but long nose-kun does have a point. It's almost lunch time, and considering that he is the one who volunteered to find something, I would think that whatever he finds, he would want to bring back as fast as he can."
Suddenly, the heard a loud shout from the forest. "Oiiiiiiii."
"See there he is now." Nami walked over to the side of the ship. "Luffy did you find some food."
He emerged from the forest. "Even better."
The blue-haired former princess emerged from the forest as well and looked up at the crew"
"Hello, everyone."
I had been thinking about that one for ages. Just how do they meet up. Obviously Luffy would be the first to find her, and then she would meet the rest of the crew. Question is, what about Robin? How will she respond to Robin being on the crew? Let's wait and see.
Meantime, R&R, suggestions, and anything else please.
