Chapter 11: The Pirate and the Marine
It was a quiet day on the Thousand Sunny… Zoro was relaxing. Or least trying…
"I'm awake! So don't you dare put on make up!" yelled Zoro.
This made the culprits, Luffy, Usopp. Chopper and Brook sweat drop… While Ranma (it was that day of the week again) and Kousagi to laugh.
"Meanie Marimo." Said Aphrodite who had taken to riding on Kousagi's head all the time.
Zoro stared at the kitten… and sweat dropped and went back to sleep.
"Hey!" yelled Nami, "We're approaching an island!"
"All right!" cheered Luffy.
Meanwhile in the Rainbow Brigade HQ, Violet was showing everyone a plan she came up.
"The Straw Hats are approaching an island, there is a small town, but the rest of it is a large forest. I plan to induce an illusion on the forest should either Zoro or Luffy enter to make them trapped there." Said Violet.
"How do you even know they're get stuck there?" asked Taro.
"Because… both of them have bad sense of direction… not as a bad as Ryoga… but very bad." Said Violet.
"Kuro you will be adding her." Said Princess Prism.
Kuro only nodded…
Meanwhile in the World of Pirates, the crew had landed on the island and Zoro decided to look for a tavern… when he someone and froze so he decided to hide.
"Not her again." He muttered.
It was Tashegi… the Marine that had a grudge against Zoro. Zoro sighed and decided to turned around to avoid her… that's hen she noticed him.
"You!" she yelled.
"Damn it!" he yelled.
He ran in a random direction and she chased him.
After a while of running Zoro noticed the forest and sighed… "Looks like that's where I'm going." He thought.
He ran into the forest and Tashegi followed him.
Nearby Violet smirked, "So he's in." she said.
Zoro decided to rest for a bit and sit down on a tree stump.
"There you are!" yelled Tashegi from behind him.
He jumped up… and since she was right there running would be pointless.
"I'm not going to fight you!" yelled Zoro.
"Why?" asked Tashegi.
"That's none of your business!" yelled Zoro.
The two began to glare at each other.
Inside some nearby bushes… Violet and Kuro watched.
"You know this could be even better." Said Violet.
"Who is she?" asked Kuro.
"Someone who doesn't know about the Sailor Senshi." Said Violet with an evil smirk.
Back with the pirate and marine.
Zoro turned away and walked away, "I'm leaving." He said.
"Hey!" yelled Tashegi.
"I'm not going to fight you because you're a woman… it doesn't matter if a swordsman is a man or a woman… all that matters is skill! All right!" yelled Zoro hopping by telling her his beliefs will get her to back off.
"Your just trying to get me to back off!" yelled Tashegi.
"I fought two different woman! And both of them broke one of my swords!" yelled Zoro.
Tashegi stared at Zoro, "Is that true?" she asked, then noticed his new sword, "Is that the legendary sword Shuusui?"
"Great… I almost forgot that habit of hers." Thought Zoro.
"How did you get your hands on it?" she demanded.
"Look your wouldn't believe me if I told you." Said Zoro.
"Try me." Said Tashegi.
"No really… it involves a zombie." Said Zoro.
Tashegi stared at Zoro, "Okay…" she said, not knowing hat else to say.
"Just leave me alone already." Said Zoro walking away.
"Oh then that would ruin the new plan." Said a voice.
Both of them turned to see Violet and Kuro.
"You!" yelled Zoro.
"Your captain Kuro!" yelled Tashegi who remember reading a recent report about him, "You are alive…"
"That's right…" said Kuro with a smirk.
"Get out of here!" yelled Zoro.
"Why!" yelled Tashegi.
"Because your in way over your head little Marine." Said Violet who took out her purple crystal, "Come my crystal bright!"
That's when a purple monster appeared.
"What is that thing!" yelled Tashegi.
"I told you to get out of here!" yelled Zoro.
Tashegi stood in her place.
"Have some fun!" said Violet, "After all Juno… this is where it ends!"
That's when both Kuro and Violet disappeared.
Zoro glared at the monster then at Tashegi, Zoro decided to not transform in front of her for 2 reason one she as a Marine and the other was because there was no way he was going to transform in front of someone he barely knows.
"That's it!" yelled Zoro unsheathing his swords performing 108 pound canon on the monster and ran away when them monster was sent flying.
"Hey wait up!" yelled Tashegi.
Kuro and Violet watched the two.
"This couldn't be any more perfect." Said Violet.
"What do you mean?" asked Kuro.
"2 reasons… his pride and the fact that she's a Marine." Said Violet.
Kuro looked at Violet.
"Want to play chess sometime?" asked Violet with a smirk.
"Sure." Said Kuro with a shrug. The two of them disappeared once again.
With Zor and Tashegi…
"Just leave me along already and let me handle it!" yelled Zoro.
"Just tell me what's going on!" yelled Tashegi.
"No I can't! And besides you'll just get in the way!" yelled Zoro.
"What's that supposed to mean!" yelled Tashegi.
"We're enemies! Just leave already!" yelled Zoro.
"No!" yelled Tashegi.
"Damn it, she won't leave I can't call the others or transformed until she leaves." Thought Zoro.
"Fine… I'll escort you out of the woods… but that's when you have to leave!" yelled Zoro.
Tashegi glared at Zoro but said nothing.
The two of them walked though the forest… after a half an hour… this happened.
"Did you see someone…" said Tashegi.
"I thought I did… but it wasn't anything." Said Zoro.
Tashegi sighed and that's when she snapped.
"You have no idea where you're going!" yelled Tashegi.
"You're a Marine should you be going!" yelled Zoro.
Both of them glared at each other… then decided to take a quick rest and sit down.
"Just tell me what that monster that attacked us earlier is…" muttered Tashegi.
"For the last time no…" muttered Zoro.
Tashegi sighed… she promised her self she would pretend nothing happened that day with that guy changed into a girl… and seeing Zoro change into a girl along with those other people which included the thought to be decided Portgas D. Ace… she pretended she saw nothing… but… this was something she couldn't forget… even if it was freaky.
"Does it have to with you running around in a mini skit?" asked Tashegi.
Zoro froze… and stared at her, "HOW THE HELL DID YOU FIND OUT!" he yelled.
"The day you were handcuffed to your captain." Said Tashegi.
"Figures…" muttered Zoro.
"What's going on with them?" asked Tashegi.
"None of your business! Leave now!" yelled Zoro who took his communicator and decided to check the GPS, "Look… the exit to the forest is that way! Just leave and pretend that nothing happened!"
"Fine!" yelled Tashegi who up and left.
"I minds as well go look for that monster." Said Zoro getting up and headed in the opposite direction… that's when he found himself face to face with Tashegi.
"What the!" yelled Zoro.
"You gave me that wrong way!" yelled Tashegi.
"But you left in that direction!" yelled Zoro.
"I know I did…" said Tashegi something weird is going on.
That's when Zoro realized something…
"Genjutsu." He said.
"Gen-what?" asked Tashegi.
"This is just like a story a friend of mine once told me." Said Zoro who called both Luffy and Sasuke.
"Zoro what's up?" asked Luffy.
"Why did you call me?" asked Sasuke with a sweat drop.
"I'm stuck in the forest." Sighed Zoro, "I'm walking around in circles."
"Of course you are!" said Sasuke with a sweat drop.
"You have almost as bad sense of direction as Ryoga." Said Luffy over the communicator.
"You're not much better." Said Zoro with a sweat drop.
Luffy sighed…
"That's not the problem… someone's with me…" said Zoro.
"Who?" asked Sasuke over the communicator.
"That's none of your business!" yelled Zoro, "But it's because of her, I managed to figure it's like that story you and Naruto told us once…"
"Oh yeah the forest of death." Said Luffy over the communicator.
"That explains why you called me." Said Sasuke, "Okay… I'll go to that forest."
"You should meet me, Kousagi and Ranma outside of it." Said Luffy over the communicator.
"Fine…" muttered Sasuke.
That's when both of them hung up.
"Just leave me alone now!" yelled Zoro.
"Not until you tell me what's going on!" yelled Tashegi.
"Look! I can't have the Marines find out about this! Do you know how many problems that World Government will cause if they find out!" yelled Zoro.
"I swear…" muttered Tashegi.
"I'm a member of an interdimensional team of cross-dressing Super Heroes… those two were a couple of our enemies." Said Zoro.
"Why would Kuro join them?" asked Tashegi.
"That's none of your business…" said Zoro, "I told you everything you need to know."
"I take it that both Portgas and your captain are members." Said Tashegi.
"Yeah… but that's all I'm yell." Said Zoro.
That's when the monster popped out of the bushes.
"Since you already know." Said Zoro.
"Juno Cosmic Power! Make-up!"
With that Zoro transformed into Sailor Juno.
"How can your wear that?" asked Tashegi.
"I don't like wearing it either… but it's my duty!" said Sailor Juno.
Sailor Juno sighed and unsheathed her swords.
"Supreme Lighting Canon!"
The attack hit the monster which came back on it's feet.
"Damn it!" yelled Sailor Juno.
"Icy Wind Shuriken!"
"Flaming Gum Gum Gattling!"
"Heart Gem Surprise!"
"Deep Aqua Shining Wave!"
"Double Elemental Punch!"
"Mercury Ice Wave!"
"Golden Spiraling Shuriken!"
That's when all the attacks hit the monster causing it to scream in pain.
"That was fast…" said Sailor Juno, "How come Naruto and Kiyo are here?"
"Naruto's here because he was there when you called and I thought it might not be Genjutsu so I called Kiyo." Said Sailor Pallas.
"There's a field… around the area that will make us walk around in circles with out even realizing it… we're lucky we even made it here." Said Sailor Mercury, "The only way to get out of it is to destroy the monster."
"So that's my cue." Said Sailor Cosmos Moon, still with Aphrodite on her head.
"Cosmos Moon Shining Star!"
The final attack hit the monster… destroying it… Sailor Mercury checked her computer and said, "It's down now!"
"Why is she here?" asked Sailor Jupiter with a sweat drop.
"She followed me…" muttered Sailor Juno.
"She saw that fight when I kidnapped... didn't she?" asked Sailor Cosmos Moon.
Sailor Juno sighed and nodded.
"Keep quiet about this." Said Sailor Neptune.
"Don't worry. I promised I won't tell and I'm keeping my promise…" said Tashegi.
"It's true… and you better keep your promise… I don't know what we're going to have to do if the World Government finds out." Said Sailor Juno glaring at Tashegi.
"Whatever." Said Tashegi.
Tashegi began to walk away when a certain someone said something she shouldn't have said.
"The lady and Marimo love each other!" said Aphrodite.
Both Sailor Juno and Tashegi froze… Tashegi for two reasons.
"Did that cat just talk?" asked Tashegi with a sweat drop.
"It's a hamster!" said Sailor Jupiter.
"What?" asked Tashegi who noticed the other Senshi shook they head mouthing, "Don't contradict him." Which made her wonder what that was about.
"Sorry! Aphrodite just says stuff like that! She's just a baby… She doesn't know what she's saying." said Sailor Cosmos Moon, "Just ignore her!"
"That's right! There's no way I can like him/her!" yelled both Sailor Juno and Tashegi right as Tashegi left.
"Okay… that was weird." Said Sailor Venus ignoring Minako giggling in her head.
Tashegi stormed off… angrily… she really wanted to go back to her ship.
"This was a weird day…" muttered Sailor Juno who detransformed along with the rest and headed to where he thought the ship was.
"It's the other way!" yelled Ace.
That's when everyone else turned around after thinking they saw someone.
"That again?" asked Sasuke.
"I don't get it… it keeps happening lately." Said Ranma.
"Let's just worry about it another time… we should back to the others." Said Kiyo.
Just outside the woods… Chopper, Usopp, Brook, along with Zatch, Sakura, Hinata and Sai waited for the Senshi. Sakura was beating up Brook for asking that question when introducing himself to the ones he had yet to meet.
"Stop is Sakura!" cried Chopper, "Please!"
That's when the Senshi (minus Zoro) left the woods.
"Okay… when Brook recovers someone has to explain the girls he should never, ever ask that question to." Said Ace.
Sometime later in Tashegi's cabin on her ship she laid down and stared at the ceiling.
"Why is he going out of his way to protect people… he's a pirate." Thought Tashegi.
Meanwhile in the Crow's nest/ Gym Zoro was working out in there.
"Damn it… she better not tell." He thought.
Meanwhile in the World of Chaos Aphrodite was sleeping on Kousagi lap while pet her little kitten.
"Aphrodite's right…" she thought, "Both of them are idiots…"
And so another fight happened thanks to the Rainbow Brigade.
Next Time: May comes for a visit because of a contest. During this time Ash makes a plan that will probably end up dragging someone into the woes of the Sailor Senshi... but it's for a good reason... a very good reason. What will happen, find out next time!
