Chapter 53 – Road Trip
"Watch that first step!" Mad Hat shouted as he landed on his feet while Ranma falls on his face as they exited the portal they travel through.
"Why is it that traveling like that is always such a pain?" Ranma said as he waited for his stomach to settle down before getting on his feet.
"You are just not used to traveling through portals yet," Mad smile at him.
"Where are we anyways?" Ranma ask him.
"Before you can face me and Dark you are going to have to become much stronger," Mad smirks, "And I'm not just talking about in body but in spirit as well. That's why we're here."
"And where… are… we?" Ranma said as he looks around and saw that they're in an alleyway in a city with modern buildings and cars zooming by on the streets, "Wait this place it's…"

In another part of the city –
"RANMA NO BAKA! COME BACK HERE! I WORKED ALL DAY ON THIS AND YOU'RE GOING TO EAT IT!"
"Ran-Chan! I made this okonomiyaki just for you!"
"Airen! Come and eat too, too delicious Ramen!"
"Darling comeback and eat some of my food!"
"Husband come and eat my takeout!"
Ranma Saotome, age 16 and cursed to turn into a girl when splashed with cold water, ran for his life. He knew that eating any one of the girl's cooking would be hazardous to his health. Eating Akane's cooking would have been akin to suicide, and eating the delicious foods of his other two fiancées would be no better, as a certain uncute tomboy would bash him anyway for not eating the toxic concoction she claimed to be sukiyaki. Ranma was pretty sure that sukiyaki was not supposed to be able to continuously change colors. He also recalled that sukiyaki was not supposed to move. Eating Ukyo's food while filling would just get the other girls angry. Shampoo and Kodachi's food would have a good chance of being drug up with something. Kaori takeout food is nice to eat and all but if he eats it the same thing with eating Ukyo's food would happen.
Meanwhile, in another section of Tokyo, two girls were racing down the streets. Well, one of them was racing down the streets. She had red hair and was taller than her friend. The other, who had a globe of blonde hair and a very cute appearance, was being held by the arm and was shouting for her companion to slow down. At the speed they were traveling at, the blonde girl's feet were far off the ground and she was in the air like a windsock. The red head was barreling down the streets at such a pace that people were being knocked down in the jet wash of her passing.
"A-Ko! Slow down!" C-Ko shouted as she saw several small automobiles nearly get overturned from her friend's frantic run.
"Can't or we'll be late to the sale!" A-Ko shouted as she kept on running.
"Hi A-Ko," another redhead girl riding a bicycle dress in a school uniform shouted as she pedals at the same speed the other redhead is running at. With her mouth wide open the other two girls could see that she has a pair of small fangs. (1)
"Hi Nuku-Nuku," C-Ko shouted to the cat brain android.
"Off to the big sale too?" A-Ko shouted.
"Yup!" Nuku-Nuku said as they race down the street.
"Watch out!" Ranma shouted as he ran into A-Ko who was push onto Nuku-Nuku's bike causing them all to crash into a lamp pole ending up in a dog pile with Ranma on the bottom, which always seems to happen with him.
"Ranma are you okay?" a young woman around 17 years old and wearing a pink and white maids outfit, she had brown hair that ran down to the middle of her back with one lock braided and ending just in front of her shoulder. She easily lifted the three girls and the bike off of him with one arm before she pulls Ranma up before letting the three girls fall back down.
"Thanks May," Ranma said quickly running down the street shouting back, "Say hi to Kazuya when you see him."
"I'll will!" May shouted as Ranma's five fiancées ran by after their reluctant boyfriend to get him to eat their food. And if he happens to eat the other girl's food instead of theirs, they're going to give him a good bashing.
Meanwhile the redheads who Ranma knock down are busy on their hands on knees looking for something. "Where's my money?" A-Ko shouted as she searches the ground for her purse.
"Hey where's mine?" Nuku-Nuku said as she lost hers as well.
"They fell into the storm drain," C-Ko said as she waited for her head to stop spinning.
"What!" A-Ko shouted, "I've been saving up for weeks for this sale!"
"Oh I was going to buy something nice for Mr. Kyusaku," Nuku-Nuku sniffed.
"Damn that Ranma Saotome!" A-Ko shouted to the heavens, "Let's get him!" She grabs C-Ko's arm and ran after him.
"Slow down!" C-Ko shouted as she once again was drag by her friend flapping in the air.
"Wait for Nuku-Nuku!" the cat brain girl shouted as she took off like a rocket on her bike.
"Wait don't hurt him!" May shouted to them as she took off as well since Ranma is Kazuya's cousin and all.
Ranma took a look back and saw that A-Ko, C-Ko, Nuku-Nuku and May have join the chase. He leaps across train tracks as a train came through making the girls chasing him wait till the train pass before they can give chase again. And according to Murphy's law he ran face first into a big set of bumpers knocking him flat on his back. Looking up he couldn't help but stare in wonder and awe at the three women he ran into. Her beautiful face was framed by long pink hair in a high ponytail. The girl was dressed in a maid uniform of an unusual design. A one-piece blue dress with puffed up short sleeves, with the hem of the skirt ending at the upper thighs. Her legs were encased in long socks reaching past the knee and ending in the lower thighs. She also wore white and blue buckled shoes. Over the dress was a maid's apron and a vest with frilly shoulders, kept in place by a buckled wide blue belt. She wore elbow length blue gloves, over which are worn white fingerless gloves. A red bowtie at her throat, a maid's cap at the crown of her head and a red bow, which tied her hair. The overall impression was a uniform that allowed for great freedom of movement. The outfit showed off her figure well as she had the curves and bust that would make Shampoo green with envy. Steel Angel Kurumi, and whose ample bust his face bumped into.
The second girl's face is pretty with her brown hair cut in a long bowel cut style. She was dressed in a skintight dark navy body suit, which showed off her physique. A small apron was tied around her waist, over a white overcoat of unusual design. The chest area was exposed, emphasizing and contrasting her breasts. The coat was flared wide open at front, giving the observer a good view of her lower limbs, ending in a long wide tail with a rounded end. The shoulder pads were unusually long and narrow, looking like the over wing shoulders of the formal wear worn by the Tokugawa samurai. Two big gold colored buttons on the left side secured the coat. The same type of buttons also fastened the shoulder pads to the sleeves of the overcoat. The entire ensemble was capped by light blue navy tie around the collar and a white maid's cap. She also wore elbow length gloves with blue fingertips, over white fingerless gloves with glue trim. The calf-length boots worn was also white with blue trim. The uniform allowed for complete freedom of movement. Steel Angel Saki.
The last girl has blonde hair and lightly tanned skin. She wore a blue, red and green suit with white gloves. Her midriff and some of her legs were exposed. Long blue boots covered the lower parts of the legs. A green triangle was on her forehead and she had green earrings pierced on her ears. A blue hat rested on top of her head with two pig tails. Unlike the first two she's much least built than the other two women. Steel Angel Karinka.
"Hi Master!" the three Steel Angels said smiling at their master who freed them, awakening them from that old temple they were kept at. After he crashed through the roof being sent flying by the tomboy breaking the statues that were keep inside of, ending up with him kissing all three of them.
Ranma sweated as he saw that look in their eyes, "Hi girls!" Than he notice that the train had pass and his five fiancées are glaring daggers at him as they still don't like the idea that he has three sexy female androids that call him master. Knowing that talking to them is pointless, Ranma took off again and the Steel Angels hot on his heels giving chase.
In another part of the city a young man with brown hair and some scars on his face is helping with making a stage for the school festival. Sousuke Sagara a Sergeant in the Uruz regiment of the Mithril anti-terrorism force and uses the call sign Uruz-7. Raised as a guerrilla fighter since the age of 8 in the nation of Helmajistan, he hones his survival instincts which enable him to become a highly skilled AS pilot and an elite soldier. His current mission to protect Kaname forces him to cope with an unfamiliar and peaceful lifestyle, forcing many awkward and comical situations. His over-protectiveness usually annoys Kaname to no end.
Kaname Chidori a blue hair schoolgirl who always has a fan around to smack Sousuke when he does something wrong, which is every other day, is barking orders to the rest of their classmates as they set up the stage. Taking pictures of the work being done is Kyoko Tokiwa, Chidori's camera-toting best friend. She is constantly trying to bring Chidori and Sagara together, however impossible it may seem given Sagara's tendency to blow things up at whim. Helping with the painting Mizuki Inaba a second-year student at Jindai High School. Mizuki is an emotionally intense girl and views Kaname as her rival; thanks to the unwanted attention her boyfriend Shirai was paying to Kaname. And with lights is Shinji Kazama, Sousuke's AS loving classmate. He shares the same amount of passion to AS as Sousuke and could be considered Sousuke's best school friend other than Kaname. His father is Shintaro Kazama and a secretary of Narashino's Assault Machine Troop, his love for AS began when his dad failed to become an AS pilot. As a result of his father's failure, Shinji strives to discover the result of the failure and to fulfill his father's dream of becoming a pilot. And with his three club members Issei Tsubaki, a nearsighted martial arts specialist who becomes Sousuke's rival, Is helping with the putting the set together.
Sousuke is sweating bullets as Teletha 'Tessa' Testarossa was on vacation again and got into the schoolgirl act again. Being the charming yet seemingly fragile Captain of the revered TDD-1 (Tuatha de Danaan) 'Toy Box' submarine, she is a child prodigy who rose to such a high rank at the age of only sixteen. Her high level of mathematical and scientific adeptness is dwarfed only by her brother's, which seems to have given her a sense of inferiority. She is also fairly clumsy, but she has shown to be a very good swimmer. She has an interest in Sousuke that extends beyond a professional one, generating a love triangle she shares with Sousuke Sagara and Kaname Chidori. And it's his job to protect her.
"Coming through!" Ranma shouted as he ran across the stage, quickly followed by his girlfriends and the other girls that join the chase as well. The students were all thrown around from the wind and dust that the chase made as it zoomed by, throwing bodies and objects around. When the dust that was kick up settled the students saw all of their hard work are in ruins.
"Wasn't that Ranma Saotome just now?" Tessa said as she pulls herself out of the wooden barrel she jumps into when she saw the big chase scene coming their way. She has heard reports about Ranma from Sorsuke as they have met a few times as well that Ranma's father is a wanted man.
"Yes it was," Sousuke said getting up from where he was thrown.
"RANMA!" Issei growls as he pulls himself out of the rumble that was once the main stage. Several other students also burst out of the rumble, dark auras surrounded them.
Bits of wood flew into the air as a close fist punch its way through the rumble, the fist belonging to Kaname. A huge battle aura surrounds her with fire in her eyes, "Tomorrow is the festival and because of that jerk Ranma Saotome it's in ruins! Let's get him!"
"GET RANMA!" the students shouted as they all took off running after the leader of the Nerima Wrecking Crew.
The chase ran through the entire downtown area of Tokyo before heading back toward the Tendo home. Sitting on the back porch, Genma and Soun were playing one of their many games of shogi. Kasumi was busy hanging up the wash while Nabiki was watching television in the living room with aunt Nodoka. Just as the chase was about to end up into a violent free-for-all when Ranma and the girls came near the house, everyone stopped in their tracks and looked toward the sky as they heard a loud whining sound. They all gasped as they saw a glowing object plummeting toward the house. The citizens of Nerima also looked up and saw what appeared to be a glowing ball of light, but many paid it little mind. Ever since Ranma and his father had come to Japan, they had grown used to the craziness that had become commonplace.
When the object crash into the backyard after going through the outer wall, they saw that it wasn't a single object but made up of Kuno, Ryoga and Mousse batter forms. Looking where they had came from, they saw a man wearing a black hooded cloak walking down the street. On his back is a big sword that he carried with an air of grace around him.
"Hey, are you the one that did this to them?" Ranma shouted at the cloak figure.
"Yes," the figure said as he continues to walk towards the group in front of the Tendo home, "They attack me, so I decided to teach them a lesson, but with dealing with idiots like those three the lesson is nothing but a waste of time. Now for you and the rest of the household of fools."
"We won't let you hurt Master!" the three Steel Angles shouted as they flew at him coming in at three directions.
The cloak man blocks each of their attacks as their arms and legs, becoming a blur as they attacking from both front and his sides. Ranma eyes widen as he watches this man's display of speed and power, even he couldn't keep up with Kurumi and her sisters when they go all out like that. The man jumps back pulling out his sword, let out a powerful swing creating a gust of wind that blew the three Steel Angels through the air. All three slam into a wall breaking through it.
"Hey that's not nice!" Nuku-Nuku shouted as two robotic cat ears sprang out from her head. She ran roaring her hands ready to tear him into pieces at the cloak man like a cat which she is. That's when he pulls out a ball of yarn tossing it in front of her. Nuku-Nuku quickly forgets about him as she begins playing with the ball letting him walk on by her.
"Stand back I'll handle him!" A-Ko said as she shoves Ranma back into the crowd behind him. She charges at him at super sonic speed ready to give him a good pounding. She knows that her bracelets would be able to block that sword of his as her mom taught her how to block bullets like she does. She gave out an eep as he suddenly raise his left arm with the bracelet transforming into a blaster like in the Mega Man games. She tries to stop as she sees the barrel glowing but at the speed she's going at she couldn't as he fires blasting her over the crowd crashing into the Tendo's living room.
"A-Ko!" C-Ko shouted running into the house to help her friend.
"My turn," Ranma shouted as he made a running leap at the man, "Katchu Tenshin Amaguriken!" Ranma throws hundreds of punches at the man but was shock to see him blocking each one with one hand with open hand blocks. Ranma seeing this wouldn't work he brought his hands together and shouted, "Moko Takabisha!" He was stuck speechless as the man slaps his energy attack away like something out of Dragonball Z.
"Now its mine," the man said as he seemed to teleport in front of Ranma slamming the butt of his sword into his stomach sending him flying into the Tendo's backyard.
"Ranma!" the five fiancées shouted seeing their fiancée the best martial artist of their generation getting toss aside.
"Come on Sousuke," Issei shouted, "Let's get him."
"I hit him low," Sousuke said getting a small machine gun ready while getting out a flash grenade. He pulls the pin throwing it at the man blowing up on contact making the man cover his eyes as the flash hits him.
"And I hit him high!" Issei shouted jumping into the air as Sousuke runs below firing away at the man with his gun.
The man throws his cloak into the air covering him from sight. Sousuke tears through the cloak with his gun riddling it with bullet holes but nothing was behind it when he made a hole big enough to see pass the cloak. A scream alerted everyone to look up to see the man knock Issei out of the air with a kick sending him crashing into the ground. Sousuke raise his gun and fired away but the man spun downwards evading the bullets as he landed in front of him. With a single swing of his sword he cuts Sousuke's gun in half and follows through with an open palm strike sending him flying into several of his classmates.
With his cloak off the remaining people left standing got their first good look at him. Standing before them is a raven hair man. He's wearing a hat like the one they seen Indian Jones wear in the movies. He wore a white colored sleeveless body armor with yellow outlines that also has on large dome shape shoulder guards. It was smooth and curved so that an attacking weapon would slide off of it. Underneath it he wore a long sleeve red shirt and blue pants, a small blue cape hang from his left side.
"Who are you?" Ranma said getting back up. Ukyo and Kaori ran to his sides helping him up. Then he got his first look at the man's face and felt like he's looking into a mirror but the face is much older than he has.
"That cocky and irritating attitude of yours," the man said as he looks down at Ranma in the eyes that reflected the same blue eyes as his, "I can't ever believe I was ever like that."
"Wait you're…" Akane mumble as she slowly realizes who they're staring at looking between the man's face and Ranma's.
"It's Ranma," May said as her computerize brain inputted all data before coming out with an answer, "He's different but he's still Ranma."
"What you're me?" Ranma said staring at his older counterpart.
"Yes I am," his older self said, "I go by the name of Jones now. Ranma Jones at your service." (2)

In another world –
A man that's clearly an imposing figure, possesses great physical strength, and wielding a sharp axe limb where his right arm suppose to be, using it with grim power, enough to split a steel fence down the center with one swing as well as commands fear of those around him. He's tapping his right hand on his axe hand as he waited for something. He's Axe Hand Morgan a former commander of the Navy before he was beaten by a kid in a straw hat.
"I hope that this isn't going to be a waste of time," Morgan said as he waited in a ghost town that use to be a major sea port till the coral reef that protected the coast was destroy because of the run off from the town, causing the foundations of the port to wash away. (3)
"Cool your jet's he'll be here," a man dress as a clown said as a crew of clowns are looking through the abandon town for anything worth taking. He is, Buggy the Clown. His appearance is best described as a mix between a blue-haired clown and a stereotypical pirate, with crossbones face-paint. The big, red nose on his face is his real nose and he is very, very touchy about it. He once destroyed an entire town when a couple of kids made fun of his nose. He is the captain of Buggy's Band, another pirate group, and his first mate is Mohji the Lion Tamer, while his second mate is Cabaji the Acrobat who rides on a unicycle. Buggy accidentally consumed the Bara Bara (Chop Chop, or Split Split) Fruit, a Devil Fruit, which allows him to separate his body parts and control them independent of each other, but robbed him of the ability to swim which he used to be best known for. The abilities gained from this fruit also make Buggy immune to attacks from knives or swords; any such attack just separates him into his component parts. In addition, most of his body is capable of flying through the air - with the crucial exception of his feet.
"I hope it be wroth it," a tall woman said with a huge metal club on her back that she carries without any strain. She is Alvida, who used to be obese. She used to be in charge of the Alvida Pirates Crew. She sees herself as the most beautiful lady in all of the 4 Seas; if someone disagrees, she'll smash the offender with an Iron club. She imprisoned a boy name Koby to be her cabin boy after he had boarded her ship by accident. She was defeated by Monkey D. Luffy freeing Koby, but she later comes back with the power of the Sube Sube (Slip Slip) Fruit, which makes her skinny, smooth and sexy, and immune to most attacks as they just slip right off. In Rogue Town, she helped Buggy the Clown attempt to execute Luffy, but fails once more.
A heavy fog started rolling in across the sea, darkening the sky. The heavy fog completely engulfed the port town, making everyone in the town stumble around as they could hardly make out their hands in front of their faces. A giant ship suddenly came out of the fog that dwarfed any ship that any of them had ever seen before. It was built over two miles high. Such a leviathan could not be constructed out of mere lumber or steel. It looked to be built out of bone that shined with a dark glow. How could it sail across the sea without any sails none of them could figure out as there's no way a ship could sail across the ocean without a mast and sails. The figurehead of the ship was a beastling skull over three miles high with fangs twisting in jagged lengths reaching two thirds of a mile. No creature that any of them in the port town knew of could grow to that size. The fog that surrounds the ship came out of vents on the side of the ship coming from an unknown source.
The massive ship stopped as it was about to run aground. The pirates on the docks step back as the massive jaws of the figurehead open the lower set crashing into the wooden dock, breaking it under its tremendous weight. Once the loading ramp of the ship has been lowered the crew of the ship began marching down. The crewmembers of the giant ship are all dark skin and wearing black armor, tall and powerfully built they created an aura of fear around them. They lined the rumps sides holding strange looking muskets parting so that a man dress in armor, wearing a mask half black and half red to walk pass. A strange looking merman walk aside him but his face looks more like a real sharks head than the mermen usually have. Strapped onto his back is a large anchor, that must have weighed about a ton but he carried it easily with little effort. On the mask mans other side is a pale skin woman and long, flowing purple hair with pointed ears poking beneath it. She carries a large double-bladed claymore style sword on his belt. But what surprised Buggy and the others was that she has a pair of bat like wings on her back.
"You're the one that sent us those letters?" Morgan said as he dealt with people like them before but he never dealt with someone of this kind of scale before.
"Yes I did," the man in the mask said, "I call myself Anarchy, and I call all of you here today for one reason. I have a proposition for you three."

A few days later –
The oceans mild breeze flowed freely through the open sails of the Going Merry, as the ship's crew went about their leisurely habits as there was nothing to do till they reach the next port. Monkey D. Luffy was relaxing on the sheep head bowsprit, looking out towards the massive blue ocean, sparkling under the late morning sun. When Luffy was young he met a band of pirates led by a kindly person named Red-Haired Shanks. Luffy befriended that band of pirates and from that moment on wanted to become a pirate as well. During his time spent with Shanks, Luffy ate a Devil Fruit (known as the Gum-Gum, or Rubber Fruit) and unwittingly turned himself into a Rubber man capable of stretching, inflating, or bouncing back impact based attacks. Because Luffy didn't know the nature of the fruit they remained friends, but after that Luffy seemed to be even more defensive of Shanks's seemingly meek band of pirates. After Luffy stood up to a local bandit that insulted Shanks and his crew, Luffy got caught up in a hostage situation and was later rescued by Shanks. However the incident cost Shanks his arm. Shortly after, Shanks set sail along with his crew, but before leaving he made Luffy promise that one day he would become a grand pirate and left his straw hat as a parting gift.
Luffy has since worked diligently on keeping that promise and is known famously as 'Straw Hat Luffy,' or simply 'Straw Hat.' Luffy now aims not only to be a grand pirate, but to become King of the Pirates. Most people don't take his goal seriously, until they see his absurd strength. Even the Marines started to take him more seriously after he defeated several known pirates such as Captain Morgan, Captain Buggy the Clown, Captain Kuro, Don Krieg and Arlong. Then they set up a 30 million Berry reward on his head which eventually becomes 100 million Berries after he defeated Sir Crocodile who was one of the former 7 Warlords of the Sea before he was defeated by Luffy.
Usopp, not far from Luffy, was concocting explosive mixtures for bullets to shoot with his slingshot. Unfortunately, the mixture made a small explosion that covered his dark face with black soot, which made him sneeze convulsively. Usopp was the local liar in his hometown of Syrup Village. Usopp is the son of Yasopp, a pirate who is part of Red-Haired Shank's crew. He lies to relieve himself of the pain of having his father not coming back in time to save his mother from dying from an illness. He first began this practice when he started yelling to his mother that pirates were coming in the hopes that it would strengthen her spirits enough to keep her alive. After he started doing so, he just continued to do so. Many of the villagers make a show of chasing him and throwing things at him for running through the town, but they are used to his antics. Some villagers even use his daily run through town as a sort of alarm clock. He also makes up stories about adventures to entertain Kaya, who was sick and had to stay in bed all day.
The other aspect of Usopp besides his lying is his cowardice; he is a very timid person, or so he thinks. In extremely stressful situations, Usopp has proven to be far more courageous than he believes himself to be. He may display cowardice, but shows great resolve when his friends are threatened or mocked by outsiders. Despite his lack of physical strength compared to other members of the crew, Usopp seems to be much more resilient than his comrades. He suffers injuries in almost every fight he ever participates in, but shrugs them off after a very short period of time. Part of this is the result of care by the Straw Hat's very capable doctor, but part of it seems to be a natural ability to absorb punishment. He uses a slingshot to fight with as well keep a large bag of tricks that surprise even the strongest of foes. What is more, Usopp possesses a genius for invention, practical engineering, and strategy. Amongst his many contraptions is a staff that can generate rain and lightning storms, which he built for Nami. He is also very artistic, and drew the Straw Hat Pirates Jolly Roger.
Zoro was at the back of the boat taking a long nap, his loud snores were unnoticed by the crew. Zolo originally was a Pirate-hunter, with ambitions of becoming the greatest swordsman in the World. However a moment of kindness landed Zolo in trouble with Helmeppo, the wimpy son of the Marine captain Axe-Hand Morgan. Zolo joined Monkey D. Luffy's crew after being saved from execution by the Navy, and is now one of Luffy's 'straw-hat pirates'. His dream is to be the greatest swordsman in the world, and only joined Luffy to accomplish that goal, though Luffy doesn't mind. Zolo also occasionally gets into verbal (and sometimes physical) fights with the ship's cook, Sanji. He also has an extremely bad sense of direction.
Zolo has gained his powers through hard work and training in his sword techniques. Zolo also has stamina enough to survive wounds strong enough to kill most normal men instantly. With his 'santō-ryū', he has created extremely deadly attacks. His three-sword-fighting skill is unique as the last sword is held by teeth. Before the sudden death of his childhood rival Kuina (Kuina was injured in the English anime, while Kuina died in the manga and Japanese version of the anime), Zolo fought with two swords but after her death, Zolo started using her sword - Wadō Ichimonji - in addition to his other two, to fulfill his promise to Kuina that one of them would be the greatest of swordsmen. He is usually more lazy when the Straw Hat crew isn't fighting, spending almost all of his leisure time (as in, whenever he isn't fighting or training) sleeping soundly.
The ships cook, Sanji busied himself in the kitchen wondering what to do with the tangerines from Nami's orchard. With thoughts filled with Nami, Sanji decided he would make her his special Tangerine Sorbet, and one for Nico Robin too. He has superb fighting skills that only make use of the lower part of the body, in an effort to minimize damage to his hands which would impair his cooking skills. Naturally, Sanji uses an array of powerful and varied kicking moves when he fights that he learned from Zeff who use to be known as Red-Shoes the pirate because of his lethal kicks bathing his legs in his enemies blood. Sanji dreams of one day finding the All Blue a place in the ocean where all of the fishes of the sea could be found, somewhere in the Grand Line.
Sanji was Zeff's protégé and sous-chef, and the two had a long history together. Nine years earlier, Zeff (who was a pirate at the time) attacked the ship that Sanji was working on as a cook; however, both ships were caught in a sudden storm, and both sank. Zeff managed to save the young Sanji from drowning and the two were washed onto a rock outcropping, high above the sea. Despite their good fortune, however, there was little food for them: a few rations had washed onto the rock with them, but there was no vegetation, no animals, and no way to reach the water to fish. Splitting up what little rations remained, Zeff ordered Sanji to sit at the other end of the island, and look for a ship. Sanji protested Zeff keeping a large sack for himself, but Zeff brushed him off, saying that as an adult, his stomach was bigger. Days passed. Sanji had no more food, but there was still no sign of a ship. Many weeks afterward an emaciated Sanji decided to take a chance, and kill the old man for his food. He did not kill Zeff, however: when he slashed open the old man's sack in a fit of rage, he discovered that there was no food inside, only treasure. To his horror, he realized that Zeff had eaten one of his own legs to survive. (4) Wracked with guilt, Sanji agreed that if they were rescued, he would help Zeff find a restaurant on the water, so that those at sea would not have to go hungry. Soon after, a ship appeared, and they were spared from death.
Chopper grinded special chemicals in his mixing bowl, making more Rumble Balls for any upcoming battle that's to come. Chopper was originally an ordinary reindeer with the slight oddity of a blue nose which caused other reindeer to treat him as an outcast (always making him follow the herd from far back), but when the young reindeer ate the Human-Human Fruit, he was even more ostracized from his herd (and with the increase in intelligence granted by the fruit, now acutely aware of it) and stuck out on his own. Unfortunately for Chopper, his attempts at communicating with the humans on Drum Island proved disastrous, and he was shot by villagers who mistook him for a monster. Luckily, though, he was rescued by the quack Dr. Hiriluk, who named him and took him in as his friend and 'assistant'. Although his deeds were of dubious medical value, Dr. Hiriluk became Chopper's role-model. Hiriluk taught Chopper his philosophy on life, his strong faith in the Jolly Roger as a symbol of strength against all odds, and his belief in a panacea that would one day cure all illness. The two went from house to house, administering their 'cures' in a country where all doctors not sanctioned by King Wapol were banned.
When Hiriluk's health took a turn for the worse, however, Chopper found himself left out in the cold once again as the old man (apparently) didn't want Chopper to watch him die. But once Chopper found out what was going on, he was determined that he would find something to cure his mentor and only friend. He soon found what he was looking for: a special kind of mushroom with a skull-and-crossbones prominently displayed. Remembering what he overheard by some villagers that certain special type of mushroom can heal every illness, Chopper steals Hiriluk's favorite medical book to find the miracle mushroom. Chopper's arduous journey was a success, although he risked his life and suffering almost fatal injuries his left horn had been broken. Hiriluk overwhelmed with tears of gratitude, ate the mushroom to show his love and appreciation to Chopper, but Chopper would later find out from Dr. Kureha that he had given Dr. Hiriluk a fatal dose of poison. In other words, the wrong mushroom. But Hiriluk was not to live much longer, anyway. Declaring that he had had a wonderful life, he committed suicide by blowing himself up outside of Drum Castle before being killed by the poison, for Chopper's sake, where he wanted to heal the sick before he died. As per Hiriluk's last wish, Dr. Kureha the last remaining doctor not owned by the Government took Chopper in and taught him 'real' medicine for the next 6 years. Chopper worked as hard as he could, in order to one day create the panacea that he longed to have saved Dr. Hiriluk with.
However, Chopper's isolated life in Drum Castle (which he and Dr. Kureha annexed after the King fled) would one day come to an end with the arrival of Monkey D. Luffy and his Pirate crew. Chopper, naturally distrustful of humans, was not pleased (nor was this helped by Luffy and Sanji's shared desire to cook and eat him). But when Chopper showed both his medical powers and his skills in battle against the returned forces of King Wapol, Luffy offered (forced) him the (as-yet unfilled) position of Ship's Doctor in his crew. While Chopper was at first unwilling to leave, he remembered Dr. Hiruluk wishing Chopper to sail around and seeing the world on his own and with his desire to broaden his medical horizons, he decides to join Luffy and his crew. Fleeing the castle with the Straw Hat Pirates, Chopper was given a send-off of gigantic proportions: Kureha had turned the snow into pink 'cherry blossoms,' the very same that Hiruluk had researched over 30 years that would one day, cure the people of Drum of their 'sickness of the heart,' passed to Dr. Kureha as one of his last request before death. Overcome with tears, Chopper bade a fond farewell to his birthplace and mentors, setting out to sea for the first time in his life.
As for Nami and Robin, they were both sitting on leisure chairs, reading; Robin, with the Mystic Rainbow book, and Nami with her newspaper. Robin has had a bounty of 79 million berries on her head since she was 8 years old, during an incident in which she supposedly destroy six buster call ships through the use of the powers she gained by the eating the Hana Hana no Mi (Flower Flower fruit) But it was proven wrong in her flashback. The fruit's power enables her to conjure up multiple replicas of her body parts (most often her arms) upon any surface she is able to see. She is very powerful and dexterous as a result. She is a mysterious and serious person who appears quiet and shy. She was thought by those around her to be cold and mean, but it was proven that she is actually a kind person who always thinks before she acts. She often times only speaks when something interesting or important has happened. She loves to study history, and follows the Straw Hat pirates for comfort and freedom to study and reads most of the time.
Nico Robin is one of the few alive (if not the only one) who can read the ancient language scripted on poneglyph tablets, which contain records of ancient history. She is in search of the True History Text, which contains the details of an unrecorded period in her world's history. This text is believed to have been brought to the last island of The Grand Line, Raftel, by Gol D. Roger. She is at the same time very famous and yet very unpopular among the general public; the government is afraid of her because she can decipher poneglyphs, which some believe contain details capable of reviving ancient weapons that have the power to destroy the world. In reality, Robin has stated that she does not care about ancient weapons. Her ability to read Poneglyphs is the true reason for her bounty; "sinking six ships" is a lie from the government. She never addresses the crew by name, and instead uses titles, such as Navigator-san (Miss Navigator, Nami), Swordsman-san (Mr. Swordsman, Zoro), Long nose-kun ( Long nose, Usopp), etc. This is probably a habit she learned in Baroque Works. However, more recently she calls Luffy by name.
Nami is formerly a renowned female thief that would steal only from pirates. She is quite greedy and hot tempered, but is also very intelligent and kind, occasionally. She is anything but interested in joining Luffy's crew at first. But after an incident with Buggy the Clown, Nami forms a temporary alliance with Luffy. Nami is an orphan found by Belle-Mère, a female naval marine, on a battlefield as an infant. The marine adopted her along with Nojiko, another child, and the three became as close as a real family. However, this ended when the infamous Fish-man Pirate Arlong took over their village. Because Belle-Mère could not pay for her entire family's monthly fee for living, Belle-Mère resisted Arlong and was killed. Then Nami was kidnapped and forced to become a Map Maker for Arlong. However, Arlong struck a deal with Nami: if she brought him one hundred million Berries, he would free her village. She spent eight years making maps and stealing treasure from Pirates in order to buy back her village. It was during this time that she met Luffy during the situation with Buggy in Orange Town and temporarily joined up him with the reasoning that she will get most of the treasure that is found.
After helping defeat Kuro in Syrup Village and reaching the Baratie restaurant with Luffy, Nami took off with the crews loot and ship and headed for Arlong Park. Nami was only 7 million berries short of fulfilling her end of the deal, but Arlong shamelessly used a corrupt band of marines to steal all the money, thus ensuring that Nami would forever be in his crew, without breaking his promise. Later, after Luffy arrives and seeing how distraught Nami is, goes and deals with Arlong defeating him. Nami's village is freed, Nami rejoins Luffy's crew as a permanent member. Nami uses a three piece staff to fight with, and during the battle of Alabasta, she uses a weather manipulating staff Usopp created for her, the Clima-Tact, to fight. The weapon is actually partly used for party tricks, but using certain combinations, Nami turns the tomfoolery of Usopp into a deadly force to be reckoned with, and is able to defeat one of the strongest members of the Baroque Works, Miss Doublefinger.
All of them went about their ways, unknowing of the latest outburst that was about to come. "Guys there's a mountain floating in the ocean!" Usopp shouted as he looks over the railing of the ship.
None of the crew bother to look besides Chopper, "Wow it is a mountain floating in the sea."
"What there is?" Luffy shouted joining the two at the railings, "There is a mountain and it's floating like a boat!"
"Wait that's no mountain," Nami said as she uses a telescope to have a better look at the huge object a couple of miles away from them.
"What else could it be?" Sanji ask as he tries to make out the object.
"It's a ship," Robin said as she uses her powers to make eyes appear on a giant seagull that's flying towards the huge object to have a better look, "The ones that are running the ship are dress in armor that I don't recognize as any kind that I have seen before. There's also a bunch of people dress like clowns on the deck. This ship is unlike anything I have seen before it's so big and it doesn't have any sails or mast for it to sail with."
"What's Buggy and his crew doing there?" Nami ask to herself as they haven't seen him for awhile now.
Robin than spotted a man with an axe for a hand stepping onto the deck, followed by a merman that has a sharks head coming out of the steering room. The merman pointed at the bird that Robin is using to spy on the ship straining her powers as it's getting out of her range already. One of the armor figures pointed a musket at the bird and fired causing Robin to stumble back as her connection was suddenly cut off.
"Are you okay?" Nami said as she helps her back on her feet.
"Yes I'm okay," Robin said shaking it off, "There was a man with an axe for his right arm and a merman that has a sharks head on that ship. The shark order one of the crew to firer at the bird I was using. I don't know whether they know that I was spying or like Luffy hungry for some roast bird."
"A guy with an axe for an arm," Luffy said to himself, "I wonder why that sounds familiar?"
"What you don't remember?" Zolo said waking up from his nap, "He must be Captain Morgan the Navy commander at Shell Town where you and I first met."
"Nope doesn't ring a bell," Luffy said causing the rest of the crew to sweatdrop at their captain.
"Where you think they're heading?" Chopper said as he watches the ship getting smaller as it sailed away from their ship.
"Let's see," Nami said as she looks over one of her maps, "If they continue to head that way they'll end up in the… What? They're heading there?"
"Going where Nami?" Usopp ask.
"That ship is heading for the Navy headquarters for the South Blue," Nami said checking her map to be sure, "It's the most fortified Navy base in the four oceans no one besides Gol D. Roger has ever made an attack on it and got away afterwards."
"Luffy we need to follow that ship," Robin spoke up, "I have an idea why it's going there."
"Why?" Zolo ask.
"Because the reason why it's the most fortified Navy Base is because it also doubles as a vault. It houses the largest number of poneglyph tablets that the Navy has collected and keeps under lock and key. They must be after the tablets there," Robin explains, "Which will mean big trouble for us later. From the bits of information, while I was still working for Crocodile, that I managed to gather, the poneglyph tablets being kept there are blueprints for weapons that are so dangers that the reason why Gol D. Roger attacked the base was that he wanted to get those tablets."
"But even Gold Roger never managed to break into the base he was forced to retreat, even if he did manage to destroy more than half of the base," Nami shouted out, "How could Buggy and his gang break in there."
"Maybe using the weapons that they have in that huge ship of theirs for one," Zolo pointed out.
"Wait why should we care that they attack the Navy?" Usopp said, "I mean they are chasing us you know."
"Yeah but do you guys really want Buggy and his gang getting their hands on whatever they're after?" Sanji said, "We better just put a stop to it before it gets too much for us to handle."
"Guys, Luffy has that look in his eyes," Chopper said as Luffy lowered his face so that the shadow from his hat hides his eyes.
"Let's go and put a stop to them," Luffy shouted out.
"I hope you know what you're getting us into," Usopp said.
"Thank you, Luffy," Robin smiles as there was also another reason why she wanted to follow the ship. Once they break into the base she'll be able to get her hands on some of those tablets while they're at it.

Meanwhile on the ship –
"Looks like we're going to be having roast bird for lunch," Marko said as he looks over the huge seagull that he order to be shot down. Several of the ship cooks came onto the deck to drag the bird to the kitchen.
"Great, I'm in the mood for something besides fish for lunch isn't that right Richie," Mohji the first mate in Buggy's pirate crew said to the huge lion sitting next to him. Mohji is a self proclaimed beast tamer who claim who can control any animal (though his yet to prove it). Mohji possesses a weird hairstyle that makes him look like a monkey, but if left unmaintained, will cause him to look like a rabbit. He owns and rides around on his pet lion, Richie, who does most of fighting for the duo, though he is pretty handy with a whip when he fights.
"There you go thinking with your stomach again," Cabaji said who's the second mate of Buggy's crew as well as their primary swordman who combines his style with acrobatics (mostly on a unicycle) to fight his enemies. But he's pretty much useless once he knocked off of his unicycle as he's more used to fighting on it than on his own feet, "I still can't believe we're going to attack the South Navy Base. Not even Gold Roger managed to break into there."
"After that attack the brass went and made the fortress even stronger than it was before the attack," Morgan said as he overheard them.
"And that's why we have this ship," Marko said, "One shot from the main cannon and all of the defenses that those Navy guys set up won't be a problem once it's in range."
"So will your boss keep his end of the barging?" Buggy asked as he's still uneasy about this.
"Don't worry once you guys help us with this you guys will receive ships like this one stockpiled with advance weapons. Besides don't you guys like the gifts he already gave you?"
"Well these Runes are nice," Morgan said as he has a Killer Rune and a Gale Rune imbedded on his body, "But it is my experience that gifts like these always has a catch to them."
"Yeah your boss did give us these new powers, but there has to be a catch somewhere," Buggy said as he has a Wind Rune and a Lightning Sword Rune embedded on him now.
"Buggy you are just looking too much into it. As long as we do our end of the deal we'll get ships like this one and finally be able to get Straw Hat and his crew for everything they did to us," Alvida said as she steps onto the deck, "Morgan, Buggy the Ships Guide wants to talk to us about something."
"That guy gives me the creeps," Cabaji said shaking as he seen what he looks like and still has nightmares because of it. A dark ghostly one-armed figure that seems to be made up of glowing faces. He's the captain of the ship and talks eerily whenever he says something.
"Well he is the only one that can pilot this ship," Marko said as he walks into the pilot room followed by the others.
"But he's still creepy," Alvida mutters to herself as she follows them into the ships command room.

In the merge worlds of Marvel and DC –
Batman found himself laying on a bed in his room in the Watchtower. He couldn't remember how he got there as the last thing that he remembers was Selina showing up at the Avenger manor and, "That girl call me…"
"DADDY!" a small girl suddenly jumps into his lap.
"Well you're finally awake," Catwoman said as she smiles at him as 'their' daughter is busy rubbing herself against him. And right behind her is Diana and Zatanna both of them looking really pissed off, "You know you should feel proud of keeping up the family traditions. Alfred said that when your father found out that you mother was with you he went and fainted too."
"So Bruce care to explain this?" Zatanna ask with her arms cross.
"Telling us that you can't take the risk of getting close to anyone and here you are with a three year old child of your enemy Catwoman," Dianna growls as she planted her hands on her hips.
"Well looks like this is where I take my leave," Selina said as she picks up her daughter as she clings to her father, "Come on kitten we wait for your aunts to finish talking with daddy okay."
"Okay mommy," she said as she clings to her mother instead, "Bye daddy!" Leaving the room as her two aunts started mumbling under their breaths staring at her daddy as she and mommy left the room the automatic doors closing behind them. Loud shouting could be heard behind them as her two aunts let daddy have it.
They walk into the control room of the tower as league gather there as all of them heard about Batman having a kid with Catwoman. And they wanted to find out more about it. They even heard about him fainting when he heard about the news at the Avengers.
"He really fainted when he heard the news?" Vixen asks Dr. Light as she and the other female members gather around her.
"Yes he fainted dead away. I thought that it was suppose to be when she's giving birth that the guy faints not when he finds out," Dr. Light giggled as they all started laughing.
"That reminds me of dad when mom told him she was pregnant with me," Ice said, "He was fixing the TV and when he heard the news he went and gave himself a shock knocking him out."
"Yeah but at least he didn't fainted like Bats did," Supergirl joining in on the fun.
"Yeah, I thought he's supposed to have nerves of steel," Stargirl said.
On the other side of the room, "Well it looks like the girls are going to be laughing this one up for a good while," Flash said as he sees them all laughing up a storm.
"I still can't believe that Bats has a kid with Catwoman who is one of his villains," Green Arrow said, "But she is hot and that kid of theirs is cute."
"BLAA!" said child scream out as she hops in front of Green Arrow causing him to fall over on his chair. She giggles as she stares at his fallen form, "You're silly."
"Great she's just like my little sisters at that age," Green Arrow said as he picks himself up.
"Hey Catwoman how's Batman doing?" Superman ask her.
"He's busy with Diana and Zatanna," Catwoman smiled as she picks up her baby off of the table.
"Ouch," Flash said, "Wouldn't want to be in his shoes." The male members all nodded as having two women mad at you isn't a good thing.
"So how did you hide…" the Question began to say but thought of something, looking down at the little girl Catwoman is holding whose smiling up at him, "What's your name anyways?"
"Maxine the Kittybat, Mr. Noface," she shouted out.
"Ahh… that's such a cute name," Fire sighed.
"And that's a nice new codename for you," Black Carney laughing at Question, "I have to tell Huntress about this."
"Yeah Noface," Flash said causing some of the members to laugh.
"Anyways," Question said brushing the nickname off, turning back to Maxine's mother, "How did you hide having a child this long?"
"It's simple really," Selina said getting everyone's attention, "I went and stole a gemstone that said to house a genie inside of it and I made a wish on it. Of how I can get together with Batman, and the next morning I found the gem broken in half. And Maxine here suddenly appeared calling me mommy. I figure that my wish been granted and Maxine is the result. I should have made my wish clearer." She looks down warmly at her baby in her arms, "But if I could do it all over again I wouldn't change a thing."
"Yeah mommy made a wish and got me so she and daddy can be together!" Maxine shouted happily as she wiggles in her mother's arms.
"You're the one that stole that gemstone?" Dr. Fate said as he sat at a table with Dr. Strange as they're still working with magic to see how their two worlds got merge together.
"A wish granting gemstone," Dr. Strange said stroking his chin, "Those things are nothing but trouble. You're just lucky that your daughter doesn't have any weird side effects from the wish you made. I remember the one time I used one of those wishing gems and been regretting it ever since than. Took me forever to get my house to smell right after I made that wish so that my house would always remain clean and smell nice, only that the wish made my house smell like roses and roses makes me sneeze."
"Well Max here can use magic. That's how we got into the Avenger Manor pass all of those defenses they have," Catwoman said as she hugs her daughter tighter, "Isn't that right."
"Right," Maxine perked as she summons her magical staff out of nowhere the same one that she let that nice man who gave her milk and cookies look at. She points it at the table that the two magic using Doctors are sitting at making a double-decker chocolate cake to pop out of nowhere.
"No more sweets today you already had enough at the Avengers," Selina said as she knows what she's thinking.
"Awww," Maxine pouted as she hung her head low.
"There's also something else," Jason Blood said as his other half Etrigan the demon is sensing something from the child, "My other half feels like he should know her from someplace else as if they have met before. There's a powerful aura around her that's brings out the good out of anyone near her. Don't any of you feel it when she came into the room as if a burden was suddenly lifted off of your shoulders and you felt at ease and felt something that just makes you want to smile?"
"Yeah, I did notice something when she came in," Plastic Man said.
"Like smelling a good meal after a day of hard work," Blue Beetle agreed with him. (5)
"So that's the story," Batman said as he enters the room with Diana and Zatanna who both still looks stream, "You made a wish and the wish created her."
"Alright so you are right about not having a child with Catwoman," Diana said.
Being three-years old Maxine took Diana's comment the wrong way, "Daddy don't you want me?" she sniffled as her eyes tearing up looking like she's going to burst into tears any second… which she does.
Catwoman looks angrily at Batman before placing the crying Maxine on the ground. Than with lightning fast reflexes puts Bruce in a headlock and shouts into his ears, "Bats just because she was created through magic doesn't make her any least your or my daughter. She has memories of growing up under our care. I use that DNA scanner in your cave and her blood matches both of ours. That's how I know about who you are under your mask and everything else about you as she told me everything about us. So don't you ever make my baby cry like this again! GOT IT!" She let's go of his neck and quickly walk back picking up Maxine who is still crying her eyes out, hugging her and trying to stop her crying. She picks up Maxine's staff that she dropped and summons a portal stepping through it but looks back at Batman, "And don't even think that this is over with. Once you get home, I'll make all of the fights you've been in look like a cake walk."
Once the portal closed everyone turn their attention back to Batman. "Well you're deep trouble now, Bats," Wildcat said as he's been alive long enough to know that an angry mother who's also is a man's wife is a very dangers combination.
"How could you make her cry like that? She is your daughter for pete sakes" Hawkgirl snaps at Batman as she and the other female members of the league giving him death glares.
"It wasn't me who made her cry," Batman said looking to the two women behind him.
"Hey it was what, Diana said that made her cry," Zatanna said stepping away from the Amazon.
"Way to go sis," Donna who goes under the name of Wondergirl the little sister of Diana shouted out. (6)
"Sure go and pass the blame on me," Diana said glaring at Bruce.
"At least you're not going to have to face Selina when you get home," Batman said wondering how he's going to handle this mess he found himself in. How he can handle fatherhood when he wasn't ready to have any kind of relationships with anyone as he couldn't take the risk of putting them into danger.
"Parenthood," S.T.R.I.P.E. said, "No one is ever ready for it when it happens." All of the older members nodded in agreement.
"Hey where's the cake?" Flash said as he wanted a piece of the cake Maxine made with magic.
"They have it," Dr. Strange said pointing to the table where Supergirl, Stargirl and Wondergirl shared eating the cake.
"Hey save me a piece of that," Flash said running over to them.
"Strange, Fate can I have a word with you two?" Batman said appearing next to them.
"It's about Maxine right?" Fate said knowing the answer.
"Yes is there anything I should know?" Batman asked.
"When she used her magic to make the cake that Flash is fighting those three girls over with. I never felt such powerful magic coming from anyone I ever encountered before," Strange said casting a spell so that only them three be able to hear.
"She using Chaos Magic that even Gods have problems in using," Fate said, "My magic would be useless against her as when Grundy came back to life."
"And she's only three who knows how powerful she'll get when she gets older," Strange said, "I'll be careful in how you treat her as she's growing up."
"I'll keep that in mind," Batman said as he heads for the teleportation room to face Selina who is waiting for him at his manor, 'I wonder if dad ever went through something like this with mom before?'
